Chapter 213 He Wants to Live
Now is not the time for the young master to be brought back from the dead!
"Your subordinate knows his mistake!"
Xu Rui suddenly stopped.
"Gu Chengzhou".
"Yes, young master, please give your orders." Gu Chengzhou replied with utmost respect.
Should I tell her my true identity?
ah?
With whom?
Oh! Miss Lu!
This is such a big deal...
Of course he trusted Miss Lu completely, but, but, his older brother had said that he had to keep his mouth shut about this matter even in his dreams!
No one can tell!
“I think she probably guessed it. If she doesn’t say anything, won’t she feel uncomfortable?” Xu Rui asked again.
ah?
Miss Lu guessed it. How did she guess it?
"Well... I think that you don't necessarily have to reveal your identity to Miss Lu. Isn't there something important you haven't done yet?"
What's up?
Xu Rui's eyes were filled with confusion and a desire for guidance.
Gu Chengzhou straightened his posture and said earnestly and meticulously, "Young Master, have you noticed that Miss Lu always glances at good-looking people a few more times? Like me, she looks at me more than she looks at Fu Leng..."
Before he could finish speaking, he slapped his own mouth hard.
It's gone!
"It's alright. The title of 'Jade-Faced Little General' isn't for nothing. You are indeed quite good-looking. Continue."
Xu Rui was not angry.
She secretly thought to herself: Next time, I won't send Fu Leng out; I'll send Gu Chengzhou instead.
"Hehe, hehe... I was just bragging. In terms of looks, I am not even one ten-thousandth as good as you, young master." Gu Chengzhou quickly flattered him.
"That's not what I meant earlier. Miss Lu does really like looking at good-looking people, whether they are men or women. You see, she's always tidying up Liu'er's clothes and smoothing her hair. She's not even that attentive to that little girl Qiaoxiu."
Xu Rui thought about it carefully.
That seems to be true.
Of course, this could be due to Liu'er's mental instability.
Because he felt that all the women looked the same.
He felt that Qingqing was only kind to people she approved of, apart from her family.
"So what you mean is?"
"What I mean is, you should find an opportunity to show her your face. Who can resist your charm..."
Seeing Xu Rui frown, Gu Chengzhou smoothly reversed his tone: "Of course, young master is intelligent and wise, he doesn't need to rely on his looks to attract people, and Miss Lu is not that kind of superficial person."
But, just like looking at flowers in a field, people's eyes are first drawn to the most eye-catching, the most beautiful one, right?
That makes sense.
Seeing Xu Rui relax his brow and look at him with agreement, Gu Chengzhou continued, "Most importantly, Miss Lu has never seen your true face. When she thinks of you, she doesn't even have a picture of your face in her mind. That's not quite right, is it?"
That makes perfect sense.
Xu Rui nodded thoughtfully.
Is there anything else?
Gu Chengzhou became even more enthusiastic: "Young master, I've noticed that you always try to find rare herbs to give to Miss Lu. I wonder if Miss Lu has given you anything in return?"
"Yes, she gave me candy and medicine."
Gu Chengzhou was stunned for a long time.
"Oh, young master, how can this be considered a return gift? She also gave candy and medicine to Liu'er, Cao'er, and Hua'er, so this doesn't count!"
"You mean something precious? Then I don't need her to reciprocate; I'm giving it to her because it's what I truly desire."
Gu Chengzhou was stunned again.
He scratched his head.
Their young master is so naive about matters between men and women.
Wasn't it always said that he and the Prime Minister's eldest daughter were deeply in love and a perfect match?
This is like someone who's never been through anything!
Oh, right, if the Prime Minister's eldest daughter is to send a gift, it will definitely be something valuable.
“Young master, it’s not about whether it’s valuable or not. As long as it’s given to you and is unique to you, even if it’s just a… red string, it shows that she treats you differently. Don’t you think so?”
If she doesn't give you anything, then you should be careful, lest she give it to someone else later..."
According to his observation, Lu Qingqing didn't show anything special towards the young master, how could that be?
The young master has already plunged in!
"Young master, if she won't give it to you, you have to take it, fight for it, snatch it, pester her, have no shame... cough cough, no, you have to show your face."
This is just a little bit of experience from my subordinate; you, young master, should make the decision yourself.
Xu Rui took a long time to think this time.
Then she looked at Gu Chengzhou with admiration.
"You are indeed more experienced than Fu Leng and Mo Lang. I wonder how many girls you've ruined to gain that experience."
"I have not caused any harm to anyone!"
"Alright, no need to say more. In short, I will consider your opinion. Besides, I think you have potential..."
Right, right?
The young master finally realized how capable he was!
His elder brother used to scold him for being useless, but look at him now! He's gained the young master's favor!
Will I be able to be appointed as a first-rank general in the future?
"Your elder brother also said in his letter that you are very smart, but your temperament is unstable and you need to be tempered."
Starting tomorrow, I'm going to arrange for someone to train you!
Strive to transform yourself as soon as possible, like a fish turning into a dragon.
What! ! !
Gu Chengzhou felt as if he had encountered a catastrophe.
It's like when he was studying, he got carried away and used his cleverness to solve a problem that others couldn't.
Then, when the teacher discovers that there is still hope for him, the feeling of relief is the same as the feeling of determination to mold him into a great talent!
You reap what you sow!
He didn't want to train anymore, he didn't want to become a first-rank general...
Being a sixth-rank general is pretty good...
Waa ...

As evening approached, Yu Jun still came to find Lu Qingqing.
He crawled there on his own, with his parents following behind, trying to persuade him.
It was only at this moment that Yu Jun finally understood.
The magistrate's son was right; his parents were indeed afraid he would become paralyzed, not out of pity, but because they feared he would become a burden.
He went into the mountains to hunt because his brother and sister-in-law wanted to divide the family property, and he wanted to earn some money to move out with his parents and stop suffering from their mistreatment.
But... hehe.
"Jun, what are we supposed to do? What are we supposed to do?"
"We're both old bones, and we'll have to rely on your brother to support us in the future. We have no other choice!"
His parents followed behind, wiping away tears.
Despite looking pitiful, the words he uttered were chilling.
"Jun, don't take that risk. Maybe if you let it heal, it will actually get better?"
Lu Qingqing also said that even with a broken leg, survival is not guaranteed.
Yu Jun was covered in sweat, and his fingers were raw from digging them. He ignored everything; the Lu family's door was the door of hope.
He wanted to live.
He might suffer terribly after losing his legs, and perhaps he won't be able to bear it for long.
But at least for now, he doesn't want to die.
"Miss Lu, help me—" he pounded on the door.
When the father and mother realized they couldn't stop him, they left behind a message:
"We have no money."
Then they left.
When Old Man Lu opened the door, he saw the backs of two old men hurrying away, and a young man crying pitifully like a beggar.
He still remembered that when Lu Feng was slandered by the Wu family and they called on everyone to go to Dahuaishu Village to seek justice, this kid was the one who rushed to the front.
When Qingqing asked him if he wanted fifty coins or a chance to see a doctor, he said that his mother was unwell and he wanted to reserve a chance for her to see a doctor.
