Gongye Changfeng also wanted to kill the old vile woman, but now was not the best time. The Gongye family still held considerable power; only a decisive blow could annihilate them all!
"Now I need to find the most advantageous partner."
Xiao Wu looked worried, fully aware of Gongye Changfeng's predicament. He appeared bright and promising as the new patriarch of the Gongye family, but in reality, he was surrounded by wolves, each waiting to tear a piece of flesh from him.
"So, who are you going to collaborate with?"
"Su Junyao".
As a father, I wonder how Su Junyao will react if he finds out someone is trying to harm his daughter. I hope he won't disappoint himself.
Xiao Wu stepped forward, gripped his sword tightly, and stood firmly beside him: "I will help you."
Gongye Changfeng chuckled: "You've already helped me a lot. The Spring Breeze Pavilion was mysteriously wiped out; the perpetrator must have been very powerful. I'll arrange a suitable identity for you, so you shouldn't move around unnecessarily."
Mentioning Chunfeng Tower, a dark glint flashed in Xiao Wu's eyes. "Gongye Changfeng, you must take care of yourself. I no longer have Chunfeng Tower, and I can't lose you too."
"No, I promised to stay with you forever. Once I rescue my mother, we'll leave this place!"
Gongye Changfeng held no real power in the court, merely bearing the title of Earl. Sending a formal invitation to Su Junyao wouldn't guarantee anyone would accept. Getting close to him was truly not an easy task.
He went to buy dried apricots for Xiao Wu, but he was preoccupied with something. As soon as he stepped out, he bumped into two short people.
Ouch!
Su Xiucheng tripped and fell flat on his backside. When he fell, his ankle twisted so badly that his face contorted in pain.
"Are you okay?"
The dried apricots were scattered all over the ground, covered in dust and no longer edible. Gongye Changfeng didn't have time to pick up the apricots and hurriedly helped Su Xiucheng up, saying, "You twisted your ankle."
Su Xiucheng's ankle swelled up instantly, and he cried out in pain at the slightest touch.
Gongye Changfeng: "I'm sorry, I'll take you to the clinic."
Chiu Chiu had just recovered from a serious illness, and the rice porridge she drank tasteless. So the two brothers went out of the house to buy some dried fruit for Chiu Chiu to savor the flavor.
I didn't expect to run so fast that I bumped into someone.
Su Xiucheng's eyes were red and swollen, and Su Jingwen was somewhat flustered. He was very grateful for Gongye Changfeng's help.
"Thank you, sir. Please take my brother to the clinic."
At this moment, Su Jingwen truly felt that Gongye Changfeng was like a divine soldier descending from the heavens, because he really couldn't lift his younger brother's physique.
Gongye Changfeng saw that the two brothers were not very old and did not think much about how heavy Su Xiucheng would be. He put his arm under Su Xiucheng's armpit and prepared to help him up and carry him away.
However, he overlooked the weight of a boy who was of average or perhaps slightly overweight, and accidentally strained his back...
His expression was strange, and he and Su Xiucheng stood motionless at the entrance of the candied fruit shop, supporting each other.
Su Jingwen: "Is this young master facing some difficulties?"
Gongye Changfeng said awkwardly, "Young man, I am Wen Yunbo Gongye Changzhi. Could you please go to the Wen Yunbo Mansion on the next street and call a servant over? I've twisted my back."
"They will take your brother to the clinic as well."
Su Jingwen: "..."
Gongye Changfeng quietly added, "Remember to call a few more servants."
Su Jingwen didn't go to the Wenyunbo residence to call for anyone. He didn't know the way, but he knew his father was running errands nearby today, so he went directly to find Su Junyao and Lu Wenzheng.
When Su Junyao heard that his youngest son had hit someone, he was afraid something might go wrong, so he ran over. From afar, he saw his youngest son sitting dejectedly in front of someone's shop. Next to him was a young man dressed in a dark purple robe.
The man was slightly bent over, supporting himself on the pillar with one hand, and his expression was extremely unpleasant.
Su Junyao thought to himself, "Oh no, something must have happened!"
"I apologize, my son was reckless and injured you, young master. We can discuss compensation later."
Su Junyao stood in front of Su Xiucheng, his protective stance self-evident.
Gongye Changfeng was a little stunned when he saw Su Junyao. He never expected that the person he had been so eager to get close to would appear in front of him like this!
In the brief moment of his mental blankness, Su Junyao recognized him, "Wen Yunbo?"
"My Lord."
Su Xiucheng grabbed his father's clothes and shook them: "Dad, he twisted his back because he wanted to take me to the clinic."
Su Junyao's gaze fell on Gongye Changfeng's waist. "Lord, it was my son who offended you."
Su Junyao and Lu Wenzheng worked together to take the two to the clinic.
The elderly doctor with a white beard examined the two children, stroked his beard, and sighed deeply: "The child is fine. Just use some blood-activating and stasis-removing medicated oil to massage away the blood stasis."
"but……"
"But what?" Su Junyao asked. "Doctor, please just tell me directly."
"However, this young master's injury is quite serious!" The old doctor glared at Gongye Changfeng with annoyance. "Knowing that he has a very serious back injury, he still does physical labor. I really don't know what young people these days are thinking!"
"If you don't protect your back, your spine could fracture. At best, you'll be paralyzed; at worst, you could die!"
Gongye Changfeng sat there without saying a word, only smiling faintly when he met Su Xiucheng's guilty gaze, "The old injury has nothing to do with you. Just take good care of it in the future."
"If this happens again, you'll be ruined!" The doctor, unable to bear seeing his patient so nonchalant about his injury, slammed his hand on the table with a loud "bang," splashing ink everywhere. "With injuries like this, you're still doing manual labor? Are you going to the docks to carry sandbags?"
Su Shabao Xiu Cheng: "..."
An eerie silence fell over the clinic for a moment, before ending with Lu Wenzheng unable to suppress a laugh.
Su Junyao patted his son's head: "The Marquis of Wenyang's residence has military doctors who specialize in treating external injuries. Wen Yunbo can come with me to visit him."
Gongye Changfeng was intrigued; it was like a godsend. However, he dared not appear too eager, lest Su Junyao notice.
Today's events were not arranged by him, but there was an unexpected surprise.
"My lord, you need not take it to heart. Helping your son is my own choice." After weighing the pros and cons, Gongye Changfeng decided to play the long game. "It's getting late. I need to prepare for my grandmother's birthday banquet tomorrow, so I'll be leaving now."
"One more thing..."
Gongye Changfeng looked troubled and hesitated to speak. Su Junyao, being an old fox himself, seized the opportunity to speak: "Lord Wenyun, please speak frankly. There are no outsiders here, so there's no need to bother with these formalities."
Gongye Changfeng's gratitude was perfectly timed, and he was slightly excited. "The invitation I sent to Miss Qiuqiu was ill-considered. It's just that Grandmother really wants to meet the Fuwa girls in the capital. As you know, Grandmother is getting old, so..."
Su Junyao understood; this was all for Qiuqiu.
"Don't worry, my lord, I will bring Qiuqiu to the banquet."
"That would be perfect. Don't worry, I'll take good care of Miss Chuchu."
Watching Gongye Changfeng leave, Lu Wenzheng said softly, "The Gongye family came for Qiuqiu."
