"Insolent!" As soon as Chu Chen finished speaking, a middle-aged man immediately berated him, "Who do you think you are! How dare you question the Chu family's decision!"
Chu Chen glanced at the middle-aged man, snorted coldly, and did not reply.
Seeing this, the gazes of many Chu family elders fell upon Chu Chen, filled with contempt and mockery.
"Do you really think you're so capable that you can look down on everyone!"
Listening to the various voices around him, Chu Chen narrowed his eyes, a cold glint flashing in their depths.
He never liked wasting words with people, and he was even too lazy to bother with these clowns.
But these people today were simply ignorant, insisting on causing him trouble, they were practically asking for death!
After hearing these words, the entire Chu family erupted in chaos.
Old Master Chu, Chu Yun Cang, frowned deeply, his face etched with intense worry, mixed with profound anger.
"Bastards! Who dares to lay a hand on the Chu family!"
"Patriarch, what should we do?"
"I knew these people definitely had ill intentions, what do we do now?"
The hall descended into utter pandemonium, with everyone speculating about who could have attacked the Chu family.
Only Chu Chen sat on his chair, eyes closed, as if nothing had happened.
Seeing Chu Chen's calm and indifferent demeanor, the other members of the Chu family displayed expressions of disdain, as if they thought Chu Chen was utterly clueless.
Chu Yun Cang looked at his grandson, Chu Chen, his eyes flickering, and finally said, "Chen'er, what do you think we should do now?"
Chu Chen opened his eyes, slowly stood up, and uttered two indifferent words, "Wait for death."
"Insolent!" As soon as Chu Chen finished speaking, a middle-aged man immediately berated him, "Who do you think you are! How dare you question the Chu family's decision!"
Chu Chen glanced at the middle-aged man, snorted coldly, and did not reply.
Seeing this, the gazes of many Chu family elders fell upon Chu Chen, filled with contempt and mockery.
"Do you really think you're so capable that you can look down on everyone!"
Listening to the various voices around him, Chu Chen narrowed his eyes, a cold glint flashing in their depths.
He never liked wasting words with people, and he was even too lazy to bother with these clowns.
But these people today were simply ignorant, insisting on causing him trouble, they were practically asking for death!
"Chu Chen!" Just then, the Old Madam, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke, her eyes filled with authority, "Sit down!"
Although the Old Madam was eighty years old, her cloudy eyes still held a sharp intelligence, clearly indicating she was no pushover.
"Grandmother, you don't want him to stay, do you?" Chu Chen's second uncle asked the Old Madam.
"Why not? Are we, the Chu family, just going to let him act recklessly?"
"I don't care how capable he is! He's still an outsider, not worthy of staying in our Chu family!"
"Yes! Exactly! He must be driven out!"
"This matter must be handled by the Old Master! I support expelling him from the Chu family!"
Everyone spoke at once, one more agitated than the other, wishing they could throw Chu Chen out of the house right now.
After hearing their words, Chu Chen's expression grew increasingly somber and cold, his eyes blazing with fierce killing intent.
These people deserved to die!
Chu Chen cursed inwardly, if not for the Old Madam's presence, he would have already rushed forward and beaten these idiots to a pulp.
Sensing the chilling aura emanating from Chu Chen, everyone couldn't help but swallow, visibly frightened, feeling as if their souls were about to leave their bodies.
"Enough, all of you, shut up." The Old Madam snorted, glaring at them.
At the Old Madam's reprimand, the hall fell silent.
Chu Chen sat down again, but his gaze became even more chilling, the air around them seeming to freeze.
The Old Madam looked at Chu Chen, then instructed a maid beside him, "Qiuyu, summon the imperial physician immediately!"
The maid Qiuyu nodded and hurried out.
"Imperial Physician Lin, quickly examine my grandson's injuries." The Old Madam quickly called out to Imperial Physician Lin, her eyes turning red with concern.
The man referred to as Imperial Physician Lin nodded immediately and walked directly towards Chu Chen, preparing to examine his injuries.
Imperial Physician Lin first checked Chu Chen's limbs and chest, then his abdominal wounds. However, when he saw the scars on Chu Chen's stomach, his expression changed drastically.
"Hiss..." Imperial Physician Lin gasped, astonished, "Old Madam, your young master's abdomen has suffered a severe blow, three ribs are broken, and his internal organs are shattered. If not treated promptly, his life is in danger!"
Upon hearing this, everyone in the hall was greatly shocked, especially Chu Yun Cang, whose face grew even more somber and unsightly, even showing a hint of panic.
Chu Yun Cang had intended for Chu Chen to attend the banquet in his stead, but unexpectedly, he was attacked halfway and nearly lost his life!
"Chu Chen, how are you!" Chu Hao Jun quickly supported Chu Chen, his face filled with anxiety and worry.
Although Chu Hao Jun disliked Chu Chen, seeing Chu Chen nearly die, he was still deeply shocked and concerned. Chu Chen shook his head, indicating he was alright.
"Imperial Physician Lin, please do your utmost to save Chen'er, no matter the cost." Chu Yun Cang solemnly instructed, his expression unusually serious.
"Rest assured, Old Master, since I am here, I will not stand idly by." Imperial Physician Lin patted his chest in assurance, then took out silver needles and began the treatment.
A moment later, Imperial Physician Lin removed the needles from Chu Chen's abdomen and sighed, "Alas, it is a pity for Lord Chu. If the injuries were not so severe, perhaps I could still save him."
Hearing this, Chu Chen's expression immediately turned grim. He had not held out much hope for Imperial Physician Lin's ability to save him, merely trying as a last resort.
Unexpectedly, the outcome had disappointed Chu Chen.
"Imperial Physician Lin, is there truly no way to recover my grandson's injuries?" Chu Yun Cang asked, his face looking grim.
He shook his head and sighed, "Lord Chu's injuries are too severe, his internal organs have all shifted.
I can only temporarily stabilize his condition, but if we cannot find suitable medicine to treat him, I fear..."
"What did you say?!" Chu Yun Cang roared in anger, "This is outrageous!"
"Imperial Physician Lin, you must help my grandson find the medicinal herbs! We are willing to spend our entire fortune!"
Chu Yun Cang gritted his teeth, clearly having thrown caution to the wind.
"Rest assured, Old Master, I will do my best!" Imperial Physician Lin promised wholeheartedly.
"Thank you, Imperial Physician Lin. I will have someone escort you back to rest now." Chu Yun Cang said.
Imperial Physician Lin bowed slightly and then turned to leave.
"Father! You must not give up on my brother!" Chu Yun Tao quickly said.
"Get out!"
Chu Yun Cang roared suddenly, startling Chu Yun Tao into trembling and quickly retreating.
