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

Chapter 320

But when he heard that Chu Tianming's left arm was still to be amputated, Marquis Changguo felt a chill in his heart.

He only has this one left arm left, what if he loses it too...

Well, well, it's already good enough that I've survived.

But Lady Changguo was clearly much more greedy than Marquis Changguo, and she still cried and begged unwillingly:

"Divine doctor, my son already lost his right arm. If he loses his left arm as well, I'm afraid even if you can save his life, he won't survive... Please, can you do your best to save his left arm... We'll do our best to get whatever medicine he needs! And we'll certainly offer a generous reward!"

Shen Lingjun pretended to be embarrassed.

"Madam, you're making things difficult for me... Alright, that's enough. I'll do my best to prevent his arm from being amputated. But it can't possibly be fully restored to its original state. You can see how necrotic his arm is; you should understand that, right?"

She looked as if she would make a great effort to save Chu Tianming's arm, and Lady Changguo nodded frantically.

"Understood, understood! Just do your best!"

Since the topic of reward had just come up, Shen Lingjun brought it up with the Marquis of Changguo first, since the Marquis of Changguo's mansion had not issued a reward this time, nor had there been any pre-agreed reward amount.

"My lord, as I just said, curing your son is no easy task, especially since you also asked me to save his arm. Therefore, I will charge one million taels of silver for this consultation."

Shen Lingjun made an outrageous demand.

However, this amount was also carefully determined by her.

With the Chu family's wealth, they could come up with one million taels of silver, but such a large amount would be enough to cripple them. However, for the sake of Chu Tianming, their only legitimate son, they would definitely still be willing to spend the money... In short, they were perfectly positioned.

As expected, the Marquis of Changguo's expression stiffened sharply.

"...One million taels?"

The Chu family is not what it used to be. After its status and power declined, its sources of income decreased sharply, while the places where it has to spend money increased.

With their accumulated savings, they could afford to pay a million taels of silver, but such a large cash shortfall would surely severely damage the Chu family's vitality.

While he was still hesitating, Lady Changguo, who was standing next to him, spoke first.

"Okay! No problem! One million taels it is!"

Unlike the Marquis of Changguo, the Lady of Changguo didn't consider the overall situation of the Chu family. As a woman, her greatest reliance was her own son, Chu Tianming. Even if it meant the Chu family going bankrupt, she had to save Chu Tianming!

Marquis Changguo glared at his wife, "Who said you could act on your own!"

Lady Changguo retorted sharply, shouting back without regard for the consequences: "Tianming is your only legitimate son! Don't you intend to save his life? You can clearly afford it, but you're just going to watch him die!"

This immediately silenced the Marquis of Changguo, leaving him speechless.

He has no choice.

Marquis Changguo inwardly cursed his good-for-nothing son, Chu Tianming, but forced a smile and said to Shen Lingjun:

"Divine Physician, one million taels is no small sum. We'll prepare the consultation fee immediately, but it will take a day or two to come up with it. Could you please begin treating my son? The longer we delay, the more difficult it will be to cure him..."

Shen Lingjun smiled.

"of course can."
