Chapter 323: Chapter 322: Whatever you want, I’ll give it to you

Under the envious, jealous, and resentful gazes of many, Chu Qianli boarded the carriage exclusively used by the elderly master of the General Residence, Qin.

The fact that they sent this carriage to invite her showed the old master’s sincerity.

After all, the old master was advanced in years and not suitable to go out; this carriage represented the man himself!

News quickly spread throughout the Duke Residence and soon after throughout the Imperial City.

No one knew why the old master Qin wanted to invite Chu Qianli, but the fact that Chu Qianli was an esteemed guest of old master Qin was undeniable.

Had this divorced woman turned her fate around?

What abilities did she possess that earned her special regard from old master Qin?

Even the residences of Prince Xuan and Prince He, and soon even the Emperor and Empress, received the news.

What exactly did old master Qin want to see her for?

Before arriving at the General Residence, Chu Qianli had already guessed most of the reasons why old master Qin wished to see her.

And after meeting this elderly general, things became even clearer.

"Does the old master wish for me to treat General Qin?" Chu Qianli asked the old man seated in the Jade Chair, neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"I understand General Qin’s condition, and the treatment proposal is also essentially determined, but General Qin himself is somewhat dejected, a matter that will require the old master’s comfort," she added.

Old master Qin looked at Chu Qianli.

This young girl possessed a composure and calmness not befitting her age.

Even in speaking with him, she was poised and straightforward, without a hint of a young lady’s coyness or affectation.

In every gesture, her spirit and openness were irresistibly likable.

"It seems Little Lili is already quite clear about my Xiao’er’s condition," said the old master.

The old master spoke bluntly: "A long time ago, I had invited countless doctors, Imperial Physicians even, anyone reputable had been asked to come."

"Yet, no one could cure Xiao’er’s leg; over time, he grew disheartened and, to this day, is unwilling to undergo further treatment by any doctor," he continued with a quiet sigh.

He remembered how bright and optimistic his Xiao’er used to be, brimming with vigor.

Now, though he could still muster smiles in front of others,

the old master knew his grandson had completely given up on his life.

As a grandfather, how could he not feel heartache?

However...

Looking at Chu Qianli, a glimmer of hope ignited in his eyes.

"I heard that when Little Lili treated Xiao’er yesterday, he did not object?"

"True, I visited yesterday, but I didn’t present a convincing plan then, so in truth, General Qin was disappointed," she replied.

"Then..."

"Now, I have a plan," said Chu Qianli.

Upon hearing this, old master Qin’s heart skipped a beat, and he couldn’t help his voice from becoming somewhat hoarse, "What are the chances of recovery?"

This old master was also a forthright person, as one could tell from his words.

Chu Qianli preferred dealing with straightforward people, regardless of age: "Fifty percent."

Fifty percent! That was already half a chance at hope!

The old master was so excited that his palms trembled slightly.

Butler Qi, however, expressed some concern: "If it’s only fifty percent..."

"Old Qi, what are you saying?"

The old master gave him a stern look, displeased, "With treatment, there’s a fifty percent chance; without it, there’s no chance at all, you fool!"

Butler Qi helplessly shook his head, chuckling, "I’m just a bit uneasy, but I didn’t say we shouldn’t treat him."

Chu Qianli, on the other hand, was slightly taken aback as she looked at the old master.

This... where was the aloof and majestic demeanor of the Great General?

How could he speak in such a manner? The difference from the serious and mature protector of the nation that she had imagined was so vast!

Butler Qi quickly added with a laugh, "Our old master can sometimes be... ah, a bit childish. Miss Lili, please don’t mind him."

"Off with you, talking so much nonsense!"

Childish? To misrepresent him thus!

The old master rose from his chair and quickly approached Chu Qianli, his face wearing a smile.

"Little Lili, tell me, what do you want? Whatever you ask for, grandfather will give it to you, as long as you agree to treat Xiao’er."

Grandfather... Chu Qianli wanted to laugh; he truly knew how to forge a relationship.

However, calling him Grandfather was an overstep for her.

"Old Master Qin..."

"Call me Grandfather, quickly!" Old Master Qin and such, was too distant.

Chu Qianli withdrew her hand, still not quite used to being overly intimate with people.

"Qin..."

"Hmm?"

She sighed helplessly, "I may not be able to cure General Qin."

"Whether you can cure him is a matter for later, the fact that you are willing to treat him gives me, an old man, hope."

"Little Lili, I won’t make unreasonable demands, as long as you can persuade Xiao to accept your treatment, you’ll have helped me."

"I’ve said my piece; if you can cure him, whatever you want, as long as I can provide it, I will give it to you!"

It was obvious that the old man truly cherished Qin Xiao.

Chu Qianli nodded and said, "I’ll do my best."

As for the compensation he mentioned, Chu Qianli did not decline.

She might need it.

After all, in this era, everything is about connections.

"I’ll go take a look at him first."

...Qin Xiao was in the back garden.

With nothing particular to do today, he sat in the back garden, watching the flowers, the grass, the trees, and also the distant lake surface.

In fact, he was just daydreaming.

The scolding from his elder brother yesterday was still ringing in his ears, exceptionally clear.

Useless.

Indeed, he was now a useless person.

"If you yourself believe that your life has no more hope, then your life may truly be over."

Chu Qianli’s voice came from not far behind him.

Qin Xiao was clearly engrossed in his own thoughts, not even noticing someone approaching from behind at first.

"You’ve come?"

Turning his head to see the person who had arrived, there was no luster in his eyes.

Yet out of habit, he gave her a smile, "Take a seat, I’ll have someone bring you some snacks."

This girl, she loves to eat.

That’s quite obvious.

Chu Qianli, however, waved her hand dismissively, "I’ve already eaten my fill at the Old Master’s place, I can’t even drink an extra sip of tea now."

"Grandfather was looking for you?"

"He was looking for me to treat you," she said without concealment.

A flicker of dimness passed through Qin Xiao’s eyes.

He laughed, "It’s no use..."

"Why don’t I give it a try, see if your legs can still move?"

"Of course, they can." but it was not possible for him to walk freely.

When he walked, it was with a limp, which was very unsightly.

The most important thing was, he simply couldn’t like a normal person—practice martial arts, go to war, fight battles.

He was just useless.

"Let me try anyway; since you’ve already considered yourself useless, then, what harm is there in letting me make use of this ’useless’ person?"

"You..." Qin Xiao really wanted to be angry.

Who talks like that? Completely disregarding others’ feelings, it was too excessive!

However, what she said wasn’t wrong; he was just useless.

So, why bother getting angry?

Chu Qianli squatted down in front of him.

"What are you going to do?" In her hand, she held a stick.

"Test your reaction, see if the nerves are still intact."

Chu Qianli, holding a stick that was neither too large nor too small, suddenly knocked it down onto his knee...
