Chapter 837: Chapter 838 If He Is Unwilling, I Will Kill Him

"That’s true, but we need to experiment first. If it really works, then we can talk to my father-in-law about it," An Jing didn’t hide anything and spoke honestly. "If it really can prevent underground pests and improve the germination rate of seeds, it would be a great thing for farmers."

Xiao Changyi said, "Of course."

Only then did An Jing explain in detail, "I only remembered a few days ago. When I was in my world, I read somewhere in a book that mixing arsenic with seeds might prevent rodent and pest damage."

"Mixing arsenic with seeds?" He paused, "It’s worth a try."

An Jing smiled, "Then tomorrow we will ask Meng Zhuqing to buy some farm seeds and arsenic, and we can try to mix and plant them."

"Hmm."

...

The next day, as soon as An Jing saw Meng Zhuqing, she had him go to Imperial Capital to buy some seeds and arsenic.

But before Meng Zhuqing could bring back the seeds and arsenic, Su Chengyu arrived.

Xiao Changyi had already planned to ignore Su Chengyu for the next three months, so when Su Chengyu came by, he ignored him completely, busying himself with his own work, planning to create a vegetable plot.

Even though Xiao Changyi ignored him, Su Chengyu still followed Xiao Changyi and said, "Brother Yi, I visited Brother Chengjin yesterday. The residual poison in his body hasn’t cleared yet. Compared to when I saw him last, his condition has worsened. Doctor Fang said he might not survive this spring."

Not survive this spring?

Xiao Changyi continued working expressionlessly.

It was An Jing, standing nearby with four children, who was taken aback by these words. It was already spring now, February in fact. Did that mean Su Chengjin was about to die?

Su Chengyu continued, "Doctor Fang can’t do anything to prolong Brother Chengjin’s life, but Doctor Fang told me that the Stubborn Doctor, Gong Juechen, who had treated Yun Er for her congenital deficiencies, might have a way. That’s why I came to see you today. Brother Chengjin is still my brother; I can’t just watch him die like this."

Regardless of whether Xiao Changyi responded or not, Su Chengyu took a breath and went on, "I heard that Gong Juechen also came to the Capital with you all. Brother Yi, please help; let Gong Juechen see Brother Chengjin."

After waiting a long time and seeing that Xiao Changyi continued to ignore him, Su Chengyu finally turned his pleading gaze towards An Jing, "Sister-in-law..."

An Jing didn’t immediately respond to Su Chengyu but instead glanced at Xiao Changyi. Seeing that he noticed her looking at him but still said nothing, she then told Su Chengyu, "It’s not that we don’t want to help you. It’s just that Gong Juechen has a peculiar quirk; he won’t treat those who don’t look good, even if you threaten him with a knife." She paused, "What does Prince Chengjin look like?"

Su Chengyu first paused, then honestly said, "Although Brother Chengjin is frail and very thin, he is indeed handsome."

Hearing ’handsome,’ An Jing then said, "Then we will go see Gong Juechen about this matter later and see if he is willing."

Su Chengyu said, "If he’s unwilling, I’ll kill him."

An Jing fell silent for a moment before saying, "Chengyu, even though he is shamelessly arrogant, your Brother Yi and I are genuinely grateful to him for treating Yun Er like that. Please don’t kill him, all right? Even if he refuses to treat Prince Chengjin, don’t do it for the sake of your Brother Yi and me."
