Traveling to ancient times, with space

Chapter 248 Jiang Chengkun

Su Yue waved her hand gently and said, "No need to trouble yourself. Someone will come to inform us when it gets light."

I just wonder what became of those two wicked people, and whether they can keep their legs?

As the saying goes, harming others ultimately harms oneself! Never mind, it's more important to hurry back and catch up on some sleep.” With that, Su Yue gently patted Gu Yuan's shoulder.

Then he turned around, closed the door, and went back to bed to continue sleeping.

Gu Yuan stared at the closed door, a helpless bitter smile appearing on his lips, before turning and returning to his own room.

At this moment, the Gu residence was brightly lit and bustling with activity, even more lively than during the New Year.

Despite it being late at night, every doctor in the inner city with a reputation was hurriedly summoned.

Not only that, even Jiang Ying's brother, Jiang Chengkun, who was in the Imperial Preceptor's Hall, personally led the most skilled experts in treating broken bones in the Imperial Preceptor's Hall to rush over.

However, after these skilled doctors examined the two men's injured legs one by one, they all shook their heads and sighed in despair.

Faced with this result, Jiang Ying was already heartbroken and crying uncontrollably. Her face, which was already swollen like a pig's head, looked even more disheveled.

Especially her face, swollen like a pig's head, made it difficult for others to detect any trace of her former beauty.

Jiang Ying clung tightly to Jiang Chengkun's clothes, crying out in a hoarse voice, "Brother, please think of another way!"

Chuan'er and Yu'er are your own nephews! How can you just stand by and watch them suffer like this?

"They are so young. If they can't stand up from now on, how am I supposed to live the rest of my life?" Jiang Ying couldn't support herself any longer as she spoke. Her knees buckled, and she was about to kneel down in front of Jiang Chengkun.

"Brother, are you really so heartless as to remain unmoved by your sister's pleas? Have you completely forgotten the things Father and Mother entrusted to you before they died? Brother..."

Jiang Chengkun's face was so gloomy it seemed like it could drip water. He sighed heavily.

He slowly bent down, reached out and gently helped Jiang Ying, who had fallen to the ground, to her feet, and said softly, "Sister, get up quickly. There are too many people around here, let's go to a secluded place and talk about this in detail."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ying felt as if she had grasped a lifeline. Forgetting that she still needed Jiang Chengkun's support, she stood up in a flash.

She frantically raised her sleeve and haphazardly wiped away the tears from her swollen face, afraid that others would see her in such a disheveled state.

After Jiang Ying finished getting ready, Jiang Chengkun turned around and walked towards the person who had been invited from the Imperial Preceptor's Hall.

The man sat upright in his chair, his expression full of arrogance.

Jiang Chengkun quickly cupped his hands in a respectful bow and said, "Senior Brother, I would like to have a brief private conversation with my sister. Please rest here for a moment. Once I have finished, we will return together."

The man addressed as Senior Brother slightly raised his eyelids, glanced at Jiang Chengkun casually, then placed the teacup he was holding tightly on the table and nodded slightly in agreement.

Jiang Chengkun breathed a sigh of relief after receiving permission, and then led Jiang Ying quickly to an open space to the side.

When they reached a secluded spot, Jiang Chengkun stopped and asked Jiang Ying in a low voice, "Little sister, do you still have that item I sent you last time?"

Upon hearing the mention of this item, Jiang Ying's expression instantly became tense, but she still nodded hurriedly and replied, "Brother, don't worry, that thing is still here. I have followed your instructions and haven't revealed a single thing to anyone."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chengkun's expression grew even more solemn. He took a deep breath, his gaze fixed on Jiang Ying, and said in a deep voice, word by word, "But right now there's only one left, and you must choose between Chuan'er and Yu'er..."

The pill was originally intended for Gu Chuan to take after entering the Imperial Academy, but due to unforeseen circumstances, it had to be taken out and used ahead of schedule.

Jiang Ying's face, already swollen like a pig's head, showed a brief look of surprise upon hearing the news.

Asking her to choose between her two biological children and save only one of them is like tearing a piece of her heart out!

"Is it really only possible to save one?" Jiang Ying asked again, unwilling to give up, secretly hoping that everything she had just heard was a lie.

However, reality is always cruel and unforgiving.

Jiang Chengkun nodded slightly in affirmation, then slowly said, "Little sister, you should know my situation. I'm afraid I'll never be able to have any more children in this lifetime. If Chuan'er meets with misfortune this time, then our Jiang family will be completely wiped out."

“Brother… but, but Yu’er is also my own flesh and blood! If she becomes disabled because of this and can never stand or walk again, how will she face the future?” Jiang Ying’s heart was caught in an extreme struggle and contradiction.

Her heart swayed like a pendulum, unable to make a final decision.

Seeing that Jiang Ying was hesitant to make up her mind, Jiang Chengkun began to use his silver tongue to try to coax his sister to change her mind: "Little sister, as long as you give this pill to Chuan'er, when he is fortunate enough to enter the Imperial Preceptor's Hall in the future, with our great abilities, are you afraid that we will not be able to find another pill for Yu'er?"

“But, brother…” Jiang Ying hesitated, but her words were cut short as Jiang Chengkun interrupted her without hesitation.

"No buts!" Jiang Chengkun said anxiously, urging without waiting for a reply, "Go and get that thing quickly, Chuan'er can't wait any longer!"

As he spoke, he patted Jiang Ying on the shoulder, as if trying to convey his anxiety to his sister.

Jiang Ying gritted her teeth and finally turned around and walked towards her room.

In no time, she returned carrying a small, exquisite box.

However, despite holding the elixir that could save Gu Chuan's life, Jiang Ying hesitated and was reluctant to take a step forward.

It turned out that she was terrified. What if her daughter resented her after waking up if she fed the pill herself?

After all, as a mother, she bears an unshirkable responsibility for her daughter's serious injury.

Just as Jiang Ying was struggling with her decision, Jiang Chengkun, who was standing to the side, couldn't stand it any longer. He snatched the box from her hand, walked quickly to Lord Gu, handed it to him, and gestured for him to quickly give Gu Chuan the pill.

Lord Gu took the bottle without asking where it came from, opened the cap, poured out a pill that emitted a strange smell, pried open Gu Chuan's mouth with his hands, and put the pill in.
