At worst, I can just find a chance to come back every day to treat Chu Yan's injuries.
It has to be said that this is human nature. Before, when he had no capital, he would silently endure any grievances he suffered in the Chu family; but now that he has enough capital, he is much more confident.
After hearing his resounding declaration, Qin Wanru was speechless.
Did I hear that right?
What's gotten into this guy all of a sudden?
Qin Wanru's anger level increased by 999!
Chu Huanzhao, who was standing to the side, was already terrified and hurriedly ran to her mother's side to explain, "Mother, my brother-in-law didn't mean it that way, please don't take it seriously."
Qin Wanru finally realized what was happening, shoved her daughter away, and sneered at Zu An, "You've really gone too far! Now that you've grown wings, you think you can leave the Chu family? It's not that easy. Do you think you can just leave as you please without the Chu family's approval?"
Zu An was taken aback, then remembered that he seemed to have heard of a similar case in the criminal law class at Mingyue Academy. It seemed that a son-in-law could not simply leave his wife's family name if he wanted to; he needed the consent of his wife's family.
But how could the wife's family agree to such a thing? Letting the son-in-law leave would mean their daughter would become a second-time bride, making it difficult for her to remarry.
Thinking of this, his face turned ashen. Could it be that he would never be able to get rid of this identity in this lifetime?
Although he doesn't mind being a kept man, he prefers the kind of situation where he can live off a woman freely and easily, rather than the feeling of being tied to a family and having no personal freedom.
Chu Huanzhao, standing to the side, was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, trying to persuade one person after another, but both of them were angry and neither was willing to back down.
Just as they were wondering what to do, Chu Chuyan arrived after hearing the news:
"Mother, Grandmother, what are you doing? Cough cough..."
Hearing her daughter cough, Qin Wanru rushed over to support her: "Why did you come out? It's windy outside, be careful not to catch a cold."
Chu Chuyan gave a faint smile: "Mother, I'm not that weak yet."
Qin Wanru became anxious: "But your injury is extremely strange. It was clearly very serious when Doctor Bao treated you before, but it suddenly improved for some reason. It might worsen again at any time, so we should be careful."
Bao Youlu has been in the Chu family for so many years, and everyone is very familiar with his medical skills. They would never make such a basic mistake.
So after the initial panic, the couple quickly realized that it wasn't that Ji Dengtu was really that miraculous, but rather that their daughter's injuries had suddenly improved.
The more they knew this, the more worried they became, because if things could improve in a muddled way, they could also deteriorate without them realizing it, and it was simply beyond human control.
At this moment, Chu Huanzhao couldn't help but say, "It wasn't a sudden improvement, but rather my brother-in-law who cured her."
"Him?" Qin Wanru glanced at Zu An, her tone full of contempt, clearly not believing he had such ability.
"It really is my brother-in-law!" Chu Huanzhao said anxiously, worried that if she didn't say it today, she wouldn't have the chance to say it later.
What if Mother gets really angry and kicks Brother-in-law out of the Chu family?
Unfortunately, her usual behavior destined her to be of little influence, and it was difficult for her mother to believe what she said.
So he had no choice but to look to his older sister for help.
Chu Chuyan then spoke up, "That's right, it was indeed my grandfather who treated me and pulled me back from the brink of death."
Qin Wanru looked suspicious, wondering if her daughter was saying this on purpose to save him.
But noticing the serious look on her daughter's face, she finally realized: "Is it really him?"
Chu Chuyan hummed in agreement.
"But I've been with you these past few days, how did he manage to save you?" Qin Wanru frowned deeply, still unable to believe it.
"Because I drugged my mother," Chu Huanzhao said weakly from the side.
Qin Wanru: "???"
Chu Huanzhao then quietly recounted what had happened. Since it concerned her brother-in-law's safety in the mansion, she couldn't care less about anything else.
After hearing her youngest daughter's words, Qin Wanru almost fainted from anger.
Is this their biological child?
Is there anyone who would treat their mother this badly?
I knew it was no wonder I'd been feeling so groggy these past few days, and I couldn't remember many things at night. Turns out it was this girl's doing.
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She pulled Chu Huanzhao over, pinned her to her lap, and gave her a good spanking to show her what true maternal love and filial piety meant!
She was truly enraged and showed no mercy, beating Chu until he cried out in pain.
Chu Chuyan, who was standing nearby, hurriedly said, "Mother, my sister was also trying to save me. Actually, it wasn't just her; I also used acupressure on your pressure points last night."
After listening to her eldest daughter's words, Qin Wanru blinked: "???"
I didn't understand what it meant at first.
To ease her sister's burden, Chu Chuyan had no choice but to explain, "Because Grandfather was going to come and treat me tonight, but Mother, you insisted on staying with me. Last night, he didn't know you were there and sneaked into the room. I was worried you would find out, so... I pressed your acupoints."
After she finished speaking, her previously pale skin turned completely red on her neck. She had always been a well-behaved girl and had never done anything so outrageous before.
After hearing all this, Qin Wanru was completely dumbfounded.
What sins did I commit in my past life to give birth to two daughters who are both brilliant and outstanding?
