Marrying a concubine and swallowing her dowry? The mistress turns around and marries a high-ranking

Chapter 307

He had already prepared to compensate the Chu family, fearing they would demand an exorbitant amount. He had prepared a full 30,000 taels of silver notes before coming, but the emperor only asked him to compensate 1,000 taels!

He's never spent so much money before!

Marquis Changguo and Chu Tianming: "..."

Both father and son were furious!

What's the point of such a half-hearted apology?

Does the Chu family lack this thousand taels of silver?

Chu Tianming lost his left arm, but this is not just about losing a left arm. The problem is that he originally had the opportunity to go to war and make meritorious contributions, but now that opportunity is gone!

How will the Shen family compensate for this loss?

Chu Tianming, filled with resentment, gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, losing this arm is not just a matter of medical expenses. You originally sent me to quell the rebellion in the south, but now I can't go..."

The emperor suddenly realized, "Oh, right, that is a problem..."

Before Chu Tianming could speak, Shen Jingyang interrupted, saying, "Since General Chu is unable to go, I am willing to make amends by going to the south to quell the rebellion in his place. I beg Your Majesty's permission."

Chu Tianming: "......!"

The emperor looked at Shen Jingyang with some surprise.

"I have heard that you are crippled in both legs and have difficulty walking. How can you lead troops to quell the rebellion in the south?"

Shen Jingyang immediately stood up from his wheelchair.

“My legs have basically recovered, otherwise I would not have been able to accidentally injure General Chu. I am only in a wheelchair for the time being to facilitate my recuperation. It will take another half a month to travel from the capital to the south. By then, my body will definitely be back to normal and I will be able to lead troops into battle as usual.”

He walked a few steps steadily, and sure enough, there was nothing unusual about it; he walked just like a normal person.

Marquis Changguo and Chu Tianming were both greatly surprised.

Chu Tianming failed to quell the rebellion in the south, but instead gave this great opportunity to Shen Jingyang?

How can this work!

Marquis Changguo immediately spoke up, "Your Majesty, please reconsider! Although General Shen can stand and walk now, he was paralyzed for so long before, and it's certainly not something he can recover from in a short time. Military campaigns are not child's play, and this mission to quell the rebellion in the south should not be taken lightly. It would be better to send another more suitable general!"

Even if Chu Tianming can't go, we can't let Shen Jingyang go!

Shen Jingyang remained calm and composed, looking directly at the emperor with a serene confidence in his expression.

"Your Majesty, I assure you that my health will not affect my ability to lead troops. If Your Majesty is still concerned, you are welcome to let the Imperial Guards test my skills."

As he spoke, he bowed deeply, his words sincere.

"When I was paralyzed on one side, Your Majesty still restored my rank as a general. I am deeply grateful for Your Majesty's grace, but as a military general, I am ashamed and fearful that I cannot fight on the battlefield for the country. Now that I am healthy, I only wish to serve the court to repay Your Majesty's great kindness and virtue. I beg Your Majesty to grant my request!"
