Chapter 112. Seeking Medicine Again

"Brother, why are you in such a hurry? What's wrong?" Gu Kaiyuan yawned as he lifted the curtain and came out, then quickly closed it again.

“An Tong has a fever, hurry up and get me some medicine.” Gu Kaiping said matter-of-factly, even spreading his palm out.

Gu Kaiyuan looked at him with some confusion, "Brother, are you also delirious from the fever?"

If I had the medicine, I would have given it to my mother before. I even had to ask Lord Liu for the wound medicine I had before.

"Besides, why is An Tong suddenly running a fever? Didn't you take good care of her?"

"How come you don't have any medicine? Doesn't the Bai family have any? I don't need medicine for injuries, I need fever reducers."

Gu Kaiyuan said, "You know how expensive the medicine at the post station is. With the meager sum we have, how can we afford to buy it?"

"Or, brother, why don't you try asking around at other places?"

Gu Kaiping stared intently at Gu Kaiyuan, who, unfazed, returned his gaze.

Gu Kaiping turned and left immediately; Gu Kaiyuan was probably not lying.

But other people's medicine isn't so easy to get; it always comes at a great cost.

Gu Kaiyuan sneered, watching Gu Kaiyuanping's departing figure, "He really thinks I'm a treasure chest."

Bai Suihe opened her eyes and looked at the car roof. The sounds outside reached her ears. She felt sorry for Gu Kaiyuan for three seconds. Gu Kaiyuan never got to have good things, but he was the first person she thought of when there was trouble.

"Miss, is it time to get up?" Chunxiang also woke up at this moment. They had stayed up all night with their young lady last night. Fortunately, the carriage was big enough for the four of them. The two maids were also sleeping soundly in the corner.

"Get up," Bai Suihe said, "It's harder to fall back asleep once you're awake, and I don't think this matter will just end like this."

Sure enough, Gu Kaiping searched around and asked everyone except the clerk.

If you ask him why he didn't seek help from the guards, it's because he knew that what the guards had wasn't so easy to take.

"Didn't you find the medicine?" Liu Yun jumped off the oxcart at this moment, and her expression changed when she saw Gu Kaiping return dejectedly.

“Everyone says they don’t have it,” Gu Kaiping noticed that the eyes of several households were evasive. He knew perfectly well that these people were unwilling and reluctant to take out the medicine.

There was one household willing to give him medicine, but the price was too high, and he couldn't bear to pay it, but he couldn't say any of this.

"What should we do? I can't wake Tong'er up. If she keeps burning up like this, something bad will happen."

"Father, Tong'er is your granddaughter, please save her." As a mother, Liu Yun was anxious and disregarded her fear of Gu Baijiang, placing all her hopes on him.

"Kaiping, did you go to find the escorts? They always carry some medicine with them when they go out."

Gu Kaiping shook his head, "Their medicine isn't so easy to get; my son hasn't gone there yet."

Gu Baijiang sighed, took out a silver ingot from his pocket, and handed it to him directly, "Go and ask."

The Gu family cannot afford any more trouble now, especially Gu Antong's only granddaughter. If the plan succeeds, she will be a crucial piece of the puzzle.

Gu Kaiping was holding the silver, wondering how to start the conversation, when Liu Yun pushed him forward, saying, "Hurry up and go."

"What's the rush? I'm just thinking about how to bring it up with them. We had no prior relationship, and suddenly they come knocking on our door asking for a favor..."

"Then go find Gu Kaiyuan. He and that Liu guy are like brothers, so you might not even have to pay him." Liu Yun was particularly quick-witted at this moment and immediately found a solution.

Gu Kaiping followed her push and ran outside, saying, "Then you take good care of the child, I'll go right now."

Gu Kaiyuan showed no surprise when he saw Gu Kaiping appear before him again. "Kaiyuan, come with me quickly to find Lord Liu and beg him to give Tong'er some medicine."

Gu Kaiping rushed up and grabbed Gu Kaiyuan's arm, trying to pull him away, but Gu Kaiyuan brushed him aside. "Brother, what are you talking about?"
What is our status now? How much face are we going to get from them?
Or do you think the guards would do this charity and give you the medicine for free?

"Don't you two have a relationship?"

"Father still has so many old friends, and you still have so many colleagues and old friends. When our family was in trouble, did anyone come to see us off?"

Brother, have you gone mad from being an official? Offering favors at a time like this?

"I'm only saying this because I see you're always seeing him..."

Gu Kaiyuan said, "Big brother really thinks too highly of me. Every time I ask for something, I have to pay a price."

Brother, are you ready? If you are, I can make the trip for you.

Gu Kaiping, “…”

"Brother, weren't you worried? Or has my niece's fever already subsided?"

"No," thinking that Gu Antong was still not awake, Gu Kaiyuan could only grit his teeth and take out the silver ingot that Gu Baijiang had given him from his pocket, "I don't know if it's worth so much silver."

Gu Kaiyuan, "Brother, do you think we can negotiate the price?"

Seeing that Gu Kaiyuan was about to wash his hands of the matter, Gu Kaiping could only stuff the silver into his hand and say, "Go and buy the medicine quickly."

Gu Kaiyuan dragged him forward, saying, "Brother, you should come with me. I don't want to be blamed later."

"How could that be? We're all family..."

Gu Kaiyuan ignored him and went directly to the carriage where Liu Pingkang was.

Liu Pingkang was sitting on the carriage shaft, casually cracking a whip in his hand.

Seeing Gu Kaiyuan and his brother arrive, he raised an eyebrow, realizing that something was wrong with the Gu family again.

Of the entire group, only their family couldn't find peace. I wonder what it's about this time?
"Lord Liu," Gu Kaiyuan said respectfully, bowing, "I'm so sorry to bother you again."

Here’s the thing…”

Gu Kaiping followed quietly behind Gu Kaiyuan, now somewhat believing what Gu Kaiyuan had said before—that their so-called friendship was indeed largely unfounded.

Although Liu Pingkang looked down on Gu Kaiping, he didn't make things difficult for them. He took out some fever reducers from the carriage and tossed them directly to Gu Kaiyuan, saying, "These are the medicines we prepared, but we don't know if they'll work."

Gu Kaiyuan quickly presented the silver ingot with both hands, saying, "Whether it's useful or not, it's all the child's good fortune. Thank you for your great kindness, Lord Liu."

Liu Pingkang laughed heartily, "It's good that you know. Go and take good care of him. I don't want to add another stroke to my notebook."

Gu Kaiping's palm tightened; this was a curse directed at his daughter.

Gu Kaiyuan shoved the medicine directly into Gu Kaiping's hand, "Brother, hurry back, An Tong is waiting to be saved."

He was in such a hurry before, yet he could still be distracted at this moment. Gu Kaiyuan had no choice but to give him a push.

Gu Kaiping took the medicine bottle and turned to leave, leaving Gu Kaiyuan standing there. He could only look at Liu Pingkang apologetically, "My brother was in such a hurry that he forgot his manners."

Liu Pingkang smiled meaningfully, "Your eldest brother is indeed worthy of being the eldest son carefully raised by Lord Gu; he has a lot of his father's style."

Gu Kaiyuan, “…” Is this a compliment, or a compliment?
