Master Xiao Wu could not take the initiative to tell Master Gu that Xiao Zhenting's son was not his own son. The Gu Master could tell the identity of Yan Jiuchao so easily, which shows that he was prepared. Yan Jiuchao is the hardest stone in the capital, but also the fattest lamb. The oil and water that can be squeezed out on him is comparable to the wealth of the sky.

A hundred thousand taels of gold, Yu Wan hurt her hard. It was obvious that the money was not her own, so why did she feel so distressed when she spent it...

The Gu Master looked determined to win, as if he was sure that Xiao Zhenting would buy it.

It is not difficult to guess. No matter how cold the father-son relationship is on the surface, Xiao Zhenting will let his subordinates sneak into southern Xinjiang for the sake of Yan Jiu Dynasty and bring Gu Master back to the capital at all costs. This thought alone is definitely not fake.

"I'm not in a hurry, Marshal Xiao will think about it slowly." Master Gu said that he might not be able to wait for Yan Jiuchao's condition.

Yu Wan secretly sighed that there are still two things to say about the medical skills of this Gu master, but he is definitely a master in negotiations. He knows how to guess the other party’s psychology and the advantages he fully utilizes, and stops when necessary. He understands that Xiao Zhenting is far more anxious than him about Yan Jiuchao’s illness. The more he doesn’t speak, the more unsure Xiao Zhenting feels. If he speaks, it may be counterproductive.

Yu Wan looked at Xiao Zhenting. One hundred thousand taels of gold is not a small amount, and the Xiao family is not a treacherous minister. Where did they come from so much money? This is the rhythm of losing everything.

"Why do I believe you can cure my son?" said Xiao Zhenting.

The Gu Master seemed to have expected that he would have such suspicion, and sneered and said, "It's late today, so I won't make any trouble. I'll prove it to you early tomorrow morning!"

That night, Yu Wan rested in Xiao’s Mansion and she was arranged to enter Wutong Courtyard.

This is a courtyard pruned for Yan Jiuchao, but Yan Jiuchao has never lived in.

The next day, Yu Wan got up before dawn. She didn't choose a bed, but she missed the three little guys a little.

The Gu Master slept until midnight before he woke up. Considering that he was exhausted by boat, it was normal.

The breakfast was still spent by Gu Master's scolding. After that, the group got on the carriage of Xiao Mansion and went to Lianhua Village swaying.

When the three little guys saw Yu Wan, they rushed into Yu Wan's arms in one go. They didn't see each other overnight, and they missed Yu Wan very much.

"Third child?" Master Gu raised his eyebrows, and a strange look appeared on his face.

The two disciples of Gu Master also stared at the three little guys, with indescribable curiosity and surprise.

The third child is really rare, let alone such a beautiful child. The young male disciple couldn't help but turn his eyes around the child. It was the female disciple who was beside him touching him with his elbow and glaring at him again. Then he turned his gaze away in disappointment.

Yu Wan took the child out.

Master Gu began to treat Yan Jiuchao.

He was not allowed to watch during his diagnosis and treatment. Except for his two disciples, even Shangguan Yan, the biological mother, was invited out. About a quarter of an hour later, the door of the house opened.

"Doctor, how is my son?" Shangguan Yan asked anxiously.

"Madam Xiao, go and see it yourself." Master Gu said confidently.

Shangguan Yan stepped into the house.

"ah--"

Her scream came from inside.

Xiao Zhenting flashed to the window: "What's wrong with Cong'er?"

Shangguan Yan said in disbelief: "He, he is awake!"

Although he could not speak, his eyes were indeed opened, and he was not dull. His eyes were weak and tolerant. It was obvious that he was suffering from unbearable pain. Shangguan Yan burst into tears with heartache.

Yan Jiuchao didn't wake up for long, and then closed his eyes and fell asleep again.

This may not be the real awakening, but it gave Shangguan Yan a glimmer of hope for recovery. However, 100,000 taels of gold was not so easy to take out. Even if she came from a family and had a generous dowry, she could not get enough of the 100,000 taels.

While Shangguan Yan was thinking about whether to sell her property, Xiao Zhenting stroked her shoulder: "You take care of Cong'er, leave the reward to me."

"But……"

"Cong'er is also my son."

From the first day he married you, he has been.

Shangguan Yan nodded with tears in her eyes. She didn't say the pretentious words, and she didn't care about right or wrong. She had only one thought in her mind, which was to save her son!

"Pay half of your reward first. If my son recovers, he will give it to your other half." Xiao Zhenting said to Master Gu.

Master Gu had no objection to this.

Xiao Zhenting said seriously: "You'd better be able to heal, otherwise my Xiao Zhenting's remuneration would not be so easy to get!"

The Gu Master raised his chin and said, "I know Marshal Xiao's ability. If I lied to you, you will definitely kill me at all the ends of the world. I will not ask for trouble. I do have a way to lift his poisonous curse, otherwise I will not praise you for this. I also know that the amount of 100,000 taels of gold is too large. In this way, I will give you three days to raise all the rewards. I guarantee that the poisonous curse in his body will not deteriorate in these three days."

Xiao Zhenting looked at him calmly, got on the carriage and went home.

Three days... I can't wait for so long as my parents.

Xiao Zhenting returned home and called the butler to his house and asked the butler, "How much cash is there in our hands?"

The housekeeper went to the account room to get the account book and the abacus, calculated for a while, and said, "Sixty thousand taels, this is from the mansion. If it is included in the shop, there should be 200,000 taels."

Two hundred thousand taels of silver, that is, twenty thousand taels of gold, is too little.

"Fill out first." Xiao Zhenting said.

The housekeeper was stunned: "All, are all?"

Xiao Zhenting said seriously: "I want it all right away."

The housekeeper opened his mouth and wanted to ask something, but in the end he didn't say a word and took the abacus to the account.

"Erlang!"

Xiao Zhenting was counting his warehouse. A luxuriously dressed woman walked in angrily. A maid chased her tremblingly. She came to the door and saluted Xiao Zhenting: "Madam must come in, we didn't stop..."

"I understand, you guys go down first." Xiao Zhenting said to the maid.

The maid stepped down.

Mrs. Xiao crossed the threshold and entered the house coldly.

Xiao Zhenting asked, "I heard that my sister-in-law's head is in trouble, is it better?"

Mrs. Xiao sarcastically said, "You still have my sister-in-law in your heart. If you are Erlang, you are no longer arrogant and don't take me, my sister-in-law seriously!"

"What did my sister-in-law say?" Xiao Zhenting said.

Mrs. Xiao said angrily: "Don't go around with me! I just heard someone say you want to take all the cash in the mansion away. What are you going to do?"

"There will be no less than a few rooms' monthly money," said Xiao Zhenting.

Lord Xiao choked and said for a moment: "Am I worried about my monthly money? I want to ask you, what do you do to get all the money in the mansion?"

"I have urgent needs." Xiao Zhenting said.

Mrs. Xiao mocked, "What's the urgent need? Tell me honestly, are you planning to treat that sick person again? How much money do you plan to spend this time? You don't feel any pain in your biological Xiao family's bones and blood, and you have to hurt an outsider! What? If he is your own person? We are not all?!"

Xiao Zhenting sighed: "Sister-in-law, I haven't said that before."

Mrs. Xiao said angrily: "But that's what you did! You said nicely, raise Yan'er personally so that Yan'er can inherit the Xiao family in the future. What's the result? Yan'er is dead! My son is dead! He is letting you kill him! It wasn't you who sent him to the border, he is still fine now! I can't hear him calling me "Mom!"

Xiao Yan's death was a blow to the entire Xiao family. Mrs. Xiao dared not resent because Xiao Yan sacrificed his life for the country. In Xiao Yan's own words, he died as a matter of fact, but for Mrs. Xiao, she not only lost a son, but also lost the property of the Xiao family. Today's words are somewhat of a point of view.

Xiao Zhenting was also very sad about Xiao Yan's death, but if he was asked to do it again, he would still do it. Xiao Yan belongs to the battlefield and is a natural general. He got the list of detailed works. He chose the most suitable person and ended the battle of the Huns.

He is the pride of the Northwest Camp and also of his Xiao Zhenting.

No one can escape death. If he is asked to choose, he also hopes that he can die on the battlefield.

Xiao Zhenting looked at Lord Xiao coldly: "Come here, the eldest lady is tired, help the eldest lady back to her room to rest."

Immediately, two maids walked up and said to Mrs. Xiao, "Madam, please."

Mrs. Xiao was so angry that she was strictly speaking, her husband Xiao Dalang was the eldest son of Mr. Xiao. However, Xiao Dalang was useless and could not support the Xiao family without literary talent. He also caused trouble for the Xiao family. He almost expelled the old man from the house several times. It was Xiao Zhenting who pleaded for his elder brother, which made the old man feel relieved.

Mrs. Xiao was originally still working hard with Xiao Zhenting. After all, Xiao Zhenting had no son, and everything he had in the future would belong to her son, so that would be hers. But since Xiao Yan passed away, this balance has been broken.

Mrs. Xiao wanted to say something, and let the maid pull it out.

Xiao Zhenting returned to the house with a serious expression.

The housekeeper brought the accountant in the mansion and spent a whole day counting all the shops under the name of the Xiao family in the capital. In the evening, he reported to Xiao Zhenting: "Master, if you can pawn it, there are a total of 20,000 taels of gold."

Not enough, far from enough.

Xiao Zhenting was silent.

The housekeeper said: "That Gu master has too much reward. Who can say 100,000 yuan at the moment? Why don't the master talk to him again?"

The butler bit the word "talk" hard.

Xiao Zhenting understood what he meant and shook his head and denied his proposal.

The butler sighed, "The master is good at everything, but he is just a stubborn person. If you change to a villain, it will be much simpler and you won't treat it?" Haha, let's learn about the top ten tortures.

Of course, the housekeeper was just angry. Thinking about it this way, he still didn't dare to bet on Yan Jiuchao's life. The Gu master can cure people or kill people, and it can't be easily offended.

"You go down first, I'll think of a solution."

"Then... I'll go and see what else can be pawned in the mansion?"

Xiao Zhenting paused and nodded: "Okay."

The butler sighed and went out.

Xiao Zhenting came to his arsenal. He was a rough man and did not know how to recite poems and essays. In order to cater to Shangguan Yan's taste, he pretended to build a study room, but the one that really used it was this cold arsenal.

When he opened the door, the cold iron breath came to his face, which made Xiao Zhenting feel very relieved.
