Having been rejected twice, Zhou Cheng really didn't expect that Lord Su would welcome him into the mansion.
Even more unexpectedly, among the Wang, Fang, and Su families...
Ultimately, the family that will lend a helping hand to the Zhou family will be the Su family, with whom they have a relatively distant relationship.
Looking at the memorial written by Lord Su, a hint of emotion welled up in Zhou Cheng's cold eyes. He said, "Uncle Su, I never expected that you would be willing to speak up for the Zhou family in court at this time."
“Alas…” Lord Su shook his head with shame and said, “Nephew, I am truly ashamed.”
“Originally, I didn’t have this intention, but my youngest son is right.”
"What goes around comes around. If I were to protect myself when my friend is in danger, I would end up isolated and helpless. But the current situation is beyond my control."
"All I can do for General Zhou is to write to those upright and honest old ministers and ask them to join me in persuading His Majesty to give the Zhou family justice."
"My strength alone is negligible."
really.
That's already quite good.
After all, Lord Su couldn't risk his entire family's lives, kneeling before the Golden Phoenix Hall and proclaiming General Zhou's innocence at the risk of his entire clan being wiped out.
Zhou Cheng chuckled softly and tore up all the memorials he had written.
Under Lord Su's puzzled and surprised gaze, he said, "I appreciate Uncle Su's kindness, but that is not the purpose of my visit, and I do not need Uncle to take this risk for me."
"Then you are..." Lord Su was even more puzzled.
"I've come to deliver something to my uncle."
As he spoke.
Zhou Cheng handed all the medicines he had prepared for the Wang family to Lord Su.
On the way here, Cheng Xianyi told him about the young master Su's critical illness. Although the Su family kept this a secret, Cheng Xianyi still learned the inside story through some rumors.
Since that's the case, then these medical supplies will be donated to the Su family!
"Nephew, what is this? What does this mean?" Lord Su stared at the strange packaging in front of him, increasingly puzzled.
Zhou Cheng chuckled and stood up, leaving only one sentence before taking his leave of the Su family: "My father is far away at the border, but he remembers the Su family's relationship with him and specially asked me to help my uncle."
"These medicines can cure the disease and save the young master's life."
"Uncle, there's no need to see me off. Farewell."
Zhou Cheng is gone.
Just left like that.
They left decisively and gracefully.
Just as his youngest son had guessed, he hadn't come to ask the Su family to risk their lives to speak on behalf of General Zhou, nor had he come to seek protection; rather, he had come to deliver a life-saving medicine!
"Bang." Lord Su, clutching the medicine for treating measles tightly in his hand, slumped into the wooden chair in astonishment and daze.
He looked down at the few square little boxes again and again.
It's not a font from Yan Kingdom.
Strangely enough, he was able to guess a few key words with some difficulty.
[Special...measles medication...]
[...fever reduction...]
so,
Zhou Cheng, he, he... In an instant, Lord Su's eyes reddened.
He pursed his lips tightly, looked up at the roof beam above him, and slapped himself with self-mockery and contempt: "Only a black-hearted person imagines that people are black-hearted. What did I almost do!"
"I almost refused my son's life-saving medicine! The Zhou family's kindness will be remembered by the Su family! Remembered!"
"Someone, go and fetch the imperial physician immediately! Go now! My son can be saved!"
