Upon hearing this, Wen Nongnong's expression changed. She looked at him in astonishment, then at Shen Qingning.
All this old man said was just to get Gu Linchao to marry Shen Qingning, wasn't it?
How could someone do this?
She felt angry, but she suppressed it and didn't immediately lash out because she wanted to hear Gu Linchao's opinion.
After all, Shen Qingning is young and beautiful, and also knows medicine. Few men would be unwilling to marry her, especially since marrying her comes with the antidote for Fumanluo.
If Gu Linchao also means the same thing, then...
Her fingers, hidden beneath her sleeves, were clenched tightly.
Her fingertips dug into her flesh, causing a slight pain, but she didn't care.
She wanted to hear Gu Linchao's answer.
Suddenly, the man's dry hand reached out, took her clenched fist in his palm, and gently opened her fingers one by one.
"Nongnong, let's go."
Gu Linchao's deep voice reached my ears.
Wen Nongnong was a little taken aback and was passively pulled to her feet.
It wasn't until she was almost at the door that she came to her senses. Had Gu Linchao directly rejected the old man?
He wouldn't even say another word to the old woman; he just grabbed her and tried to leave.
Doesn't he want the antidote for Fumanluo and regain his sight?
The gloom in her heart was dispelled, and she suddenly calmed down. She took his hand in return and whispered, "Wait a moment."
A layer of frost settled between Gu Linchao's brows as he said in a deep voice, "It doesn't matter if I never see him in my lifetime, Nong Nong, you don't need to beg him."
Upon hearing this, Wen Nongnong felt a pang of pain in her heart.
In fact, given his personality, even if he hadn't married her yet, he wouldn't have compromised in the face of the old man's coercion. Moreover, once he married her, he would be even less likely to let her suffer such injustice.
But if he could disregard whether his eyesight could be restored, how could she stand idly by?
She lowered her head, scratched his palm with her fingertips as a gesture of comfort, and then turned away.
"Sir, we cannot agree to the conditions you just mentioned, after all, my husband has already married me."
But if you are willing to treat him, we can promise you that we will give Miss Shen the best life, and we will take care of her and treat her like a younger sister.
If she is interested, we will find her a good marriage in the future.
The old man waved his hand, "Then forget it, you can go." He had only talked so much to them because he could tell that Qing Ning was interested in that young master Gu. Since they refused to agree to his conditions, why should he waste his breath on them?
They were the ones who needed his help, but not him.
Wen Nongnong didn't expect the old man to be so stubborn, refusing to even consider it before directly rejecting it.
She couldn't help but look at Shen Qingning, who was standing to the side without saying a word.
"Does Miss Qingning mean the same thing? You want to marry my husband?"
"I..." Shen Qingning hesitated. She hadn't expected her master to make such a condition. Although it was unexpected, she was actually somewhat looking forward to it.
Because she had a very good impression of Brother Gu, and she also liked Sister Wen, she wanted to marry Brother Gu if they were willing, and then serve him together with Sister Wen...
Seeing her conflicted expression, Wen Nongnong looked disappointed. "So, when Miss Qingning first brought us back to seek medical treatment, she had that in mind?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Qingning quickly shook her head, "No, I..." She was a little embarrassed to speak. She was too shy to say that she had only developed feelings for Brother Gu after seeing his true appearance and how considerate he was to Sister Wen.
But Wen Nongnong already knew.
She said sarcastically, "Everyone says that doctors have the heart of parents, but you use your medical skills to coerce and threaten others. You are not worthy of having such excellent medical skills. This time, we made a mistake in coming. Goodbye."
After saying that, she helped Gu Linchao out without hesitation.
"Lvqiao and Baili, pack your things, we're leaving right away. Also, don't forget to pay for their food and lodging."
"Yes." Green Fairy responded loudly, then glared angrily at the old man and Shen Qingning in the room, took out a silver ingot, placed it on the table, and said, "Keep the change." After saying that, she pulled White Pear to pack her things.
Not long after Wen Nongnong helped Gu Linchao out of the courtyard, Lü Qiao and Bai Li caught up with them, carrying bundles.
As the four of them walked down the mountain, Shen Qingning chased after them.
"Brother Gu, Sister Wen, please wait a moment..."
Wen Nongnong turned and glanced at her. "Miss Chen, there's no need to waste your time. Please leave."
Just as Shen Qingning was about to say something more, her master came out from behind and said, "Qingning, they are the ones asking for help, not you. You don't need to lower yourself like this."
“Master…” Shen Qingning stamped her foot, her face full of struggle.
Wen Nongnong sneered. She had originally thought that this Miss Shen was a kind and benevolent person who helped the world, but she never expected that she was a hypocrite.
She didn't waste any more words with him, and helped Gu Linchao down the mountain.
Unless Gu Linchao makes his own choice, she would never share her man with anyone else.
If Gu Linchao is willing to marry Shen Qingning so that he can regain his sight, then she has nothing to say. But if that's the case, then their marital relationship will end there.
But Gu Linchao did not make that choice, so she could make the decision for him and refuse the other party's conditional rescue.
Watching the four people resolutely leave, Shen Qingyi's expression turned somewhat somber.
She looked back at the old man, "Master, why did you have to..." she said, and angrily rushed into the courtyard.
The old man followed her in unhurriedly. Seeing her haphazardly fiddling with the medicinal herbs, he sighed and said, "Do you think I don't know what you're thinking? The moment that young master Gu stepped into the room this morning, your eyes were glued to him. I owe you so much in this life. Knowing your intentions, how could I not help you?"
But for now, you don't need to be sad. As for the Floating Mantra, I can guarantee that no one in the world but me can solve it.
They've left now, but they'll definitely come back. Just you wait, when that young master Gu comes to marry you in a grand wedding procession.
Shen Qingning paused, her face showing a conflicted expression, but at the same time, a hint of anticipation flickered in her heart.
She pursed her lips and said nothing more.
After Wen Nongnong and her three companions descended the mountain, they pulled out the oxcart that had been tied up in the woods.
"Miss, where are we going next?" After putting the bundle on the oxcart, Lü Qiao came over and helped help Gu Linchao onto the cart.
"Let's find an inn in Yuquan Town to stay in first," Wen Nongnong said thoughtfully.
Upon hearing this, Lü Qiao glanced at Gu Linchao, pulled her aside, and lowered her voice, saying, "Miss, are you still hoping that the old man will change his mind and treat the Prince?"
Wen Nongnong sighed, "Although they have ulterior motives, we do need their help. I'll think of another way to see if we can persuade them to treat the prince."
