Chapter 91 You hit me for a concubine? I'll fight you to the death!

Dr. Qian said he was absolutely certain, and the medicinal bath required him to be completely naked. With Ying Qing by his side, Chu Ruohan didn't accompany Gu Junze.

But she stayed in Hongmeng Academy, learning kung fu and guarding him, never leaving.

Gu Junze didn't want Chu Ruohan to see him in such a disheveled state; it must have been in too much pain...

Hearing Ying Qing's anxious shouts, Chu Ruohan was startled and quickly ran towards the medicine room.

She suddenly pushed open the door to the medicine room, and a strong smell of medicine hit her, mixed with a pungent smell of blood.

Chu Ruohan frowned and quickly went inside. She saw Gu Junze lying quietly in the bathtub, his eyes closed, already unconscious.

His arms were draped over the edge of the bathtub, black blood seeping from his fingertips, and a nauseating stench filled the air.

As Dr. Qian withdrew his hand from taking the pulse, there was no panic on his face. Instead, a look of relief appeared on his face as he said, "It's alright, it's alright. It's a good thing that the poisonous blood in your lungs is being expelled."

"Why did the young master faint?" Yingqing asked anxiously, her eyes filled with worry.

"I'm in so much pain I've fainted," Dr. Qian replied briefly.

"This medicinal bath process is extremely painful, and it is already remarkable that the young master has been able to endure it until now. However, judging from the current situation, the toxins are being expelled from the body. As long as the medicinal bath is continued, the young master will definitely recover."

Hearing this, Chu Ruohan finally felt relieved; it was good that no one was hurt.

Yingqing lifted the man out of the bathtub. Chu Ruohan quickly turned away, feeling somewhat at a loss due to the slightly awkward situation.

Yingqing quickly changed him into a new set of clothes, her movements gentle, afraid of hurting him, and then took him back to the inner room and settled him on the bed.

After a while, Gu Junze slowly opened his eyes. His gaze was still somewhat unfocused, and his body trembled slightly from the pain.

He leaned against the bedside, watching Chu Ruohan walk in, a weak smile appearing on his lips.

Doctor Qian stepped forward and took Gu Junze's pulse again. A satisfied smile appeared on his face as he said, "Young Master, the toxins in your body have been almost completely cleared. After a few more days of medicinal baths, the toxins will be completely eliminated."

Gu Junze was overjoyed to hear this. He had indeed been feeling a tingling sensation in his legs for the past few days, a feeling he hadn't experienced in a long time.

Yingqing and the other servants withdrew, leaving the space to Gu Junze and Chu Ruohan.

Chu Ruohan walked to the bedside, looked at the weak Gu Junze, and reached out to cover him with the blanket, but her hand trembled involuntarily.

Before she could react, Gu Junze grabbed her.

He knew she wanted to learn kung fu for self-defense, but it pained him to see it...

“You don’t need to work so hard or exert yourself so much. Song Ruyan has been practicing martial arts since she was a child. No matter how hard you work in a short period of time, it will be difficult for you to reach her level.”

Chu Ruohan looked at Gu Junze with a determined look in her eyes and said, "I never thought I would be as powerful as Song Ruyan. I just want to be able to protect myself when I encounter danger."

He gently pulled Chu Ruohan to sit on the edge of the bed and said, "When I'm better, I'll teach you myself."

Chu Ruohan recalled the day Song Ruyan and Ying Qing fought, and how Gu Junze threw the inkstone with precision and power, and her heart stirred.

Yes! If she could be that skilled, she could injure the enemy and buy herself time to escape.

Chu Ruohan nodded.

Gu Jiacheng, through his social engagements and dealings with influential figures, sought to leverage these connections to pave his way in the capital.

Upon entering the mansion, he habitually headed towards his main courtyard. As he passed a flowerbed, a gentle breeze carried a familiar floral fragrance, which suddenly reminded him of Aunt Li.

He remembered encouraging Aunt Li to visit the Marquis of Anyang's residence more often.

Gu Jiacheng went straight to the back courtyard of Aunt Li's house, only to find that she was not there.

He immediately summoned a servant and asked, "Where is Aunt Li? Why can't I see her?"

When the servant saw the young master asking the question, he quickly lowered his head in fright and replied tremblingly, "Replying to the young master, Concubine Li has been locked up by the madam."

"What?" Gu Jiacheng raised his voice, his face full of anger. "That jealous woman!" He cursed Wang Shi in his heart.

In his eyes, Aunt Li was gentle and considerate, and had given birth to Xuan Ge'er for him. Although he didn't like her very much, that woman was still somewhat useful.

He had long been dissatisfied with Wang's jealousy, and now that she had done something so outrageous, he could no longer tolerate it.

Without saying a word, Gu Jiacheng turned around and walked towards Wang's courtyard, intending to have a good talk with her.

Just as they reached the courtyard gate, they saw Wang Shi returning with Lan Jie'er and Lu Ge'er.

At this moment, Gu Jiacheng's anger had reached its peak. He rushed forward and slapped Wang Shi hard across the face.

The slap came so suddenly that Wang was knocked off balance and almost fell to the ground.

Lan Jie'er and Lu Ge'er were so frightened by this sudden scene that they burst into tears.

"Are you crazy?!" Wang shouted, covering her face, her eyes filled with anger and grievance.

Gu Jiacheng completely ignored Wang's anger and said coldly, "Where have you locked up Aunt Li and her son? Release them right now!"

Upon hearing this, Wang was so angry that she trembled all over, feeling that her dignity had been greatly insulted.

She never imagined that Gu Jiacheng would beat her, the mistress of the house, in front of the child for the sake of a concubine.

How could a lowly concubine swallow such an insult from her husband?

“I won’t let her go! She has no respect for her mistress and deserves to be punished!” Wang retorted loudly.

“You…” Gu Jiacheng was so angry at Wang’s words that he couldn’t speak. He pointed at Wang’s nose and said angrily, “Don’t go too far! Aunt Li only went to the Marquis of Anyang’s mansion, and you’re making things difficult for her like this.”

"You hit me for a concubine? I'll fight you to the death..."

The two argued more and more fiercely, their voices echoing in the courtyard.

Lan Jie'er and Lu Ge'er were so frightened that they hid to the side, crying even harder. They had never seen their parents argue like this before, and their little hearts were filled with fear.

This heated argument soon alerted the third master and his wife of the Gu family.

When Master Gu entered the courtyard and saw the chaotic scene before him, he couldn't help but frown, his heart filled with displeasure.

The troubles in the illegitimate son's family also bothered him.

"What kind of behavior is this!" Master Gu shouted.

He looked at his illegitimate son and daughter-in-law, a look of disappointment on his face.

These two are making a huge scene in the yard, what kind of behavior is this...?
