Xia Dingfeng’s eyes widened: What kind of operation is this
"If you dare to do it again, I will break your legs!" Gu Changsheng panted, as if he was using up his last bit of strength to threaten.
Xia Qianqian nodded vigorously: "No, no, no!"
"Qingtong, give her the money and let her go..." Gu Changsheng retracted his hand and consciously hung it on Qingtong.
The young boy asked quietly, "Give, how much?"
"Give her as much as she wants." Gu Changsheng said weakly.
Qing Tong blinked and asked Xia Qianqian: "Miss Xia, how much do you want?"
"Hey, thirty taels of silver." Xia Qianqian felt embarrassed. The old ancestor cared about her so much, and she still wanted to accept his money. She wanted to say, forget it, I'll give you this pig. But when Qingtong handed the silver to her, her hand reached out without her brain's command... (Does it sound like when we receive New Year's money, hahaha!)
Xia Dingfeng watched the money come into his hands, and the heart that had been hanging in his throat fell back into his stomach.
"Thank you." Xia Qianqian looked at Gu Changsheng awkwardly. His face was pale without a trace of blood, and his breathing seemed rapid and weak, as if he would die at any time. Her heart ached again, "Gu Changsheng, didn't you say you invited a famous doctor from the capital to see me?"
Gu Changsheng ignored her and told Qing Tong, "Go back home."
Qing Tong helped Gu Changsheng get on the carriage and returned to Gu's house from the restaurant. The waiter from the restaurant came out to unload the wild boar from the carriage and gave Xia Qianqian a bucket of clean water to wash the carriage.
"I'll do the washing." Xia Dingfeng hurriedly took the water. "I can do this kind of rough work."
Xia Qianqian did not refuse. She watched Gu Changsheng's carriage going farther and farther away, and her heart seemed to be at peace.
Gu Changsheng, you will definitely live to be a hundred years old, right
After a while, Xia Dingfeng washed the carriage and urged Xia Qianqian to go home.
It was getting late, and there was no point for Xia Qianqian to stay here—she couldn't enter the Gu residence. After thinking for a while, she walked into the restaurant, asked the waiter for paper and pen, and left a message for Gu Changsheng: "You must be well, I'll wait for your news."
"Qianqian, let's go." Xia Dingfeng shouted outside.
"Okay." Xia Qianqian got on the carriage. She earned thirty taels of silver, but she was not happy at all.
Seeing that she was unhappy, Xia Dingfeng asked tentatively, "What's wrong? Are you worried about Master Gu?"
"He seems to be very ill." Xia Qianqian was worried and spoke in a low voice.
Xia Dingfeng said: "Rumor has it that he was choked by the water when he fell into the pond and injured his lungs. Judging from his condition today, I think he has tuberculosis."
"Tuberculosis!" Xia Qianqian's heart skipped a beat. In ancient times, tuberculosis was almost incurable. Wouldn't that mean Gu Changsheng would die young
"However, the Gu family is rich, and Gu Changsheng will definitely live a few more years." Xia Dingfeng glanced at Xia Qianqian meaningfully and asked, "Niece, tell me the truth, are you attracted to Master Gu?"
"How dare I?" Xia Qianqian shook her head. "It's just that he has helped me a lot, so I care about him."
"That's right, courtesy comes back. I think the third young master of the Gu family is a nice person, but it's a pity that she is tuberculotic. Whoever marries her in the future will probably end up being a young widow."
Upon hearing this, Xia Qianqian's heart skipped a beat again in anxiety.
"However, even if you become a widow, marrying into the Gu family is like a leap over the dragon gate. If you can give birth to a child before Young Master Gu dies, you will have a lifetime of wealth and glory." Xia Dingfeng explained all the pros and cons to Xia Qianqian, intending to warn her.
