Shi Kun: "..."
Being accused of not being a genius by a nobody he looked down upon, he was seething with anger. But compared to Chu Chuyan, he was indeed inferior, and he couldn't refute what the other party said.
Shi Kun's anger level increased by 314!
Look how arrogant you are! It's just that Chu Chuyan is awesome, not you. What are you so smug about?
Shi Kun could only console himself in this way, constantly reminding himself not to stoop to the level of such a petty person. After calming himself down, he said, "Although I am not talented, I have a powerful family behind me. My starting point in life is the end point that you can never reach in your entire life."
“I’m not saying this to show off, but to state a fact. I have far more resources at my disposal than you do. You may not be able to cure her even if you try your best, but it would be much easier for me.”
“I can not only save her life, but I may also heal her vital energy. So if you really love her, hand her over to me instead of selfishly keeping her and ruining her future.”
Qiao Xueying chimed in, "That's right. The Shi family has extensive connections in the capital, is familiar with the imperial physicians, and has access to countless rare and precious treasures. The resources they can mobilize are far beyond what the Chu family of Mingyue City can match. If we entrust Miss to the Shi family, Young Master will definitely find a way to cure her."
Seeing Zu'an deep in thought, Shi Kun smiled faintly. As a superior, one often doesn't need to rely on force. Sometimes, using the banner of morality and one's own advantages can save a lot of trouble.
Once Chu Chuyan falls into my hands, I will definitely try to treat her. However, the chances of her being cured are slim, but saving her life shouldn't be difficult. I can keep her in my room as a concubine.
The only downside is that she won't be able to move by then, which will take away a lot of the fun.
Thinking that Zu'an had really been persuaded, Chu Chuyan's eyes, which had been filled with despair, finally showed a hint of fear. She said weakly, "No... don't, don't hand me over to anyone."
For some reason, although she usually disliked Zu An's unreliability, at this moment, she felt most at ease only when she was by his side. She was afraid that he would be persuaded by Shi Kun's words and hand her over.
Zuan smiled and said, "Don't worry, wife. How could I possibly hand you over to someone else? I was just thinking about other things."
Shi Kun's expression changed: "You surnamed Zu, do you really want to ruin Miss Chu's future because of your own selfish desires?!"
Zuan rolled his eyes: "That's so many brainless tropes from those heart-wrenching romance dramas from years ago. Do you really think you can fool me with this? You stand on your moral high ground and criticize me, but you're covering up your own filthy thoughts. Do you think I don't know that? It's my own wife, and I'll take care of healing her myself. I don't need outsiders to worry about her."
Shi Kun's expression finally turned cold: "What a big mouth you have. You can't even protect her now, so what are you talking about curing? Miss Chu, you may blame me now, but you will understand in the future that I am doing this for your own good."
With a wave of his hand, he signaled his men to kill Zu An. Although he guessed that the other party could not use that "glare at anyone and they'll get pregnant" technique at will, the pain he had just experienced was still fresh in his memory, and he was unwilling to take the risk. So he sent two of his men to test the waters first, and then he would seize the opportunity to launch a surprise attack and end his life.
"Wait...wait," Chu Chuyan said weakly.
Shi Kun's face lit up with joy, and he hurriedly waved his hand to stop his subordinates: "What, has Miss Chu come to her senses?"
Chu Chuyan ignored him and looked at Zu An instead: "Kill me."
Zuan looked completely bewildered: "???"
I really can't understand why she would make this request.
Chu Chuyan panicked and said in a low voice, "I'm crippled now, and you're no match for them on your own. Do you want to see me fall into the hands of another man and be humiliated? Kill me and run away quickly, then tell my parents everything that happened here and ask them to avenge me."
Zuan remained silent and slowly raised his sword.
Chu Chuyan closed her eyes, a peaceful and serene smile on her face, awaiting the impending sword strike.
"You dare, you surnamed Zu!" Chu Chuyan's voice was soft, but it did not escape Shi Kun's notice. However, he was worried that the other party would really make a move, so he did not dare to rush over for a moment.
Zuan ignored him, turned his longsword around, and plunged it directly into his own chest.
Shi Kun, Qiao Xueying, and the others on the other side were dumbfounded. They hadn't expected this turn of events. What was he trying to do?
Qiao Xueying even wondered if he was going to commit suicide for her mistress because he saw that things were hopeless. Although this guy was a bit annoying, she didn't expect him to be so deeply in love.
