Zhao Qian paused for a while and soon calmed down, his expression darkened as he stared fixedly at Gu Ye, wondering how accurate his words are. 

Gu Ye remained calm, even smiling slightly as he met Zhao Qian’s gaze. 

After observing for some time without finding anything unusual, Zhao Qian sneered, “You must be silently laughing at me, right?”

He wasn’t even considered a proper man, so it was no wonder people called him Eunuch Zhao.

Gu Ye was definitely laughing at him, maybe even pitying him. 

Hmph, he didn’t need anyone’s pity.

“How could that be? Old Zhao, we’re brothers who’ve fought side by side. If you’re in trouble, I’ll definitely help. So what if your kidneys aren’t doing well? Everything else is still in good shape. Remember Sima Qian, the guy who wrote ‘The Art of War’? He lost even more than you did, but he’s still famous in history books. Who dares say Sima Qian wasn’t a man?” 

Gu Ye spoke confidently, even made an analogy. But unfortunately, as an unstudious student, he had never passed the history exam. 

Zhao Qian’s mouth twitched. Strangely, his mood improved, and he couldn’t help but correct, “‘The Art of War’ was written by Sun Wu. Sima Qian wrote ‘Records of the Grand Historian’.” 

*Sun Wu, also known as Sun Tzu, a general, strategist and philosopher in the Spring and Autumn Period (700 – 475 BC), believed to be the author of the “Art of War”, one of the seven military classics of ancient China.  

“It’s almost the same. They both wrote books. I was just making an analogy. Don’t think too much, Old Zhao. My wife’s medicine will definitely cure you.” Gu Ye didn’t mind his mistake.

“There’s a huge difference! One is about warfare, and the other is a historian. They’re worlds apart. Didn’t you pay attention in history class?”

As a top student, Zhao Qian couldn’t tolerate such a blunder. 

How could Sun Wu and Sima Qian be similar? 

That was a very serious academic mistake that he must correct. 

Gu Ye grinned and said, “I slept through history class. My teacher was an old guy who talked like a chanting monk. Every lecture was like a lullaby, much more comfortable than sleeping at home.”

Zhao Qian stared speechlessly at this hopeless student, feeling a sudden urge to laugh but holding it back. 

He had not yet reached an agreement with Gu Ye, so he couldn’t be too friendly. 

Gu Ye didn’t overthink it, so he continued, “Old Zhao, return back and tell your old man to give my wife’s medicine to Zhao Jing. There are only two results, whether he will be cured or not. If he’s cured, everyone will be happy. If he isn’t, Zhao Jing will die, and it will be me and my wife who get blamed by our old man. At that time, I will definitely take full responsibility, and never implicate you.” 

“It’s easy for you to say! If Zhao Jing dies, I’ll be in as much trouble as you!” Zhao Qian sneered coldly.

He wasn’t a three-year-old child who could be swayed by such simple reasoning.

“That’s different. No matter what, you are still the biological son of Mr. Zhao. There are only three sons in your family. Zhao Jing is basically useless, and your eldest brother’s abilities are limited. You’re the only one who can carry the Zhao family forward. Your father isn’t senile, so he won’t punish you.” Gu Ye advised. 

Zhao Qian suddenly got an idea, and he deliberately asked, “According to what you said, then why should I even bother curing Zhao Jing? Wouldn’t it be better if he dies?” 

“That’s no good.” 

Gu Ye shook his head. “If you let your younger brother die without lifting a finger, your father will think you’re too heartless. He’ll always have a grudge. Think about it, would you rather have your father willingly support you or let him have a doubt in his heart but have to support you helplessly?” 

Zhao Qian’s expression changed slightly, and he remained silent for a while. 

Gu Ye didn’t rush him, leisurely sipping tea.

The room grew quiet. After a long pause, Zhao Qian finally spoke, “Bring me your wife’s medicine.”

“Sure! Old Zhao, you’re wise and smart. The Zhao family’s future is definitely in your hands!”
