Reborn As Divine Doctor to Rule the World

Chapter 137: Chapter 138: This Lord Wants You Dead

“You…”

Chu Yu was so angry he was about to rush forward.

“Marquis.”

The guard hurried over, quickly stopping Chu Yu and whispered lowly, “Marquis, it’d be better not to act rashly. Why don’t we go back and plan carefully?”

Chu Yu glanced at the person in the wheelchair, slowly unclenching his fist, and with a cold snort, turned and left.

Back at the mansion, Chu Yu went straight to Luo Jiner’s room, kicked open the door, and walked in with a dark face. The terrified Luo Jiner, who was about to go to sleep, sat up from her bed. Seeing who it was, her face lit up with joy, but before she could speak, he gripped her neck.

“Marquis, what are you…”

Chu Yu violently yanked her from the bed and pushed her to the ground, questioning her sternly, “Who exactly was it that saved this Marquis in the beginning?”

“It was me, of course. Has someone said something? Marquis, you can’t believe what they said!” Luo Jiner’s tearful and pitiful figure tugged at Chu Yu’s robe, crying so hard her tears fell like rain.

Chu Yu tore off the hands she had on his robe, his gaze cold and piercing as he stared at her and roared, “You deceitful woman, how dare you lie to this Marquis? I’ll kill you.” Having said that, he picked up a teacup from the desk nearby and hurled it at Luo Jiner.

Luo Jiner dodged in panic, the teacup shattering into pieces on the floor. She curled up in fear, her lips turning purple.

Looking down at her from on high, Chu Yu said hatefully, “Luo Jiner, I want you dead.”

“Cough, cough, cough…”

Luo Jiner struggled to breathe from being choked and finally managed to squirm away, shivering, and shrunk into the corner.

“Marquis, you… you can’t treat me this way,” Luo Jiner screamed in terror, now understanding fear. She didn’t want to die, let alone die like this.

Hearing these words, Chu Yu felt an immense sadness. He had been so good to her, but what had it come to?

Thinking of her deeds against him, intense murderous intent filled his heart.

Chu Yu stepped closer to Luo Jiner. She was frightened and contracted into a ball. Suddenly, he reached out and pinched her cheek, whispering into her ear, “This Marquis will make you experience every torture in the world, then send you to Yama Hall.”

“No, it’s not like that, Marquis. Please listen to my explanation.” Luo Jiner’s eyes were filled with dread. She had never expected the truth to be revealed.

She hadn’t expected Chu Yu to be so heartless towards her, not even a trace of pity.

“When you set up Shao He, did you ever think how desperate and helpless she was?”

Chu Yu smiled cruelly, a vicious glint crossing his eyes. He released Luo Jiner’s cheek and called out, “Someone.”

“Marquis.”

“From today on, no one is to let her out without my order.”

“Yes, your orders will be followed,” the two Hidden Guards stood outside the door.

After finishing, Chu Yu stepped away.

“Marquis, Marquis, you can’t treat me this way, Marquis…” Luo Jiner’s miserable cries echoed, but what awaited her was utter darkness.

Chu Yu looked at Luo Jiner’s room with a frosty face, showing not a hint of emotion, but an air of coldness instead.

When Chu Yu returned to his study, he irritably swept everything off his desk onto the floor, causing a loud bang. The entire study shuddered for a moment.

He vented with a loud shout, “Ah!!!”

“My lord, please don’t, be careful with your body,” the guard seeing this, hurriedly consoled him.

Chu Yu took several deep breaths, suppressing the violent tendencies within him, and turned to look out the window, a look of madness flickering in his eyes. The corner of his mouth twisted into a bloodthirsty smile, “No, I will not give up so easily. I will get her back!”

Then Chu Yu sat in the chair without moving for quite some time. After a while, he picked up a jug of liquor next to him and gulped down a big swig. The spicy liquid slid down his throat and into his stomach, instantly spreading heat throughout his body.

“Puh—cough, cough, cough!” He coughed violently, his eyes reddening.

Upon hearing the news, Old Madam Chu immediately sent over the nanny, and the guard at the door, seeing her approach, said very respectfully, “Nanny, please hurry in and persuade the Marquis.”

The nanny nodded slightly and walked into the study, addressing the man drinking, “Marquis, Old Madam sent Old Liu to pass on a few words.”

“What would Grandmother like to say?” Chu Yu looked up, his drinking never ceasing.

“Old Madam said for the Marquis to consider carefully what to do about the marriage arrangement with the Liang Family, and what to do about the reputation of Marquis Pingnan’s Mansion now that the funeral has been conducted.”

Suddenly, Chu Yu started laughing, pointing to the nanny with the liquor jug, “Grandmother is truly well-informed, knowing about these matters so quickly. Hasn’t she been sick all this time?”

“Marquis, Old Madam is concerned for your sake. She does not want to see you act on impulse and ruin the reputation of Marquis Pingnan’s Mansion.” The nanny spoke again, trying to persuade him.

Chu Yu put down the liquor jug and stood up, supported by the desk, and asked with a smile, “What does Grandmother suggest?”

“Old Madam suggests that the child can be claimed as adopted to bring back into the mansion, but Shao He must enter the mansion under a different identity to explain her presence. Otherwise, it won’t make sense,” the nanny explained.

Chu Yu fell silent upon hearing this, considering Shao He’s attitude, he felt the possibility was slim to none. She would not change her identity, much less let the child be an excuse to return to the mansion.

“You may go. Tell Grandmother that I will consider it well, and she need not worry any longer,” Chu Yu said as he slumped back into his chair, gazing out at the moonlight and closing his eyes.

He knew Shao He cared deeply for the child, which was a good leverage point for him. Maybe he could use the child to control Shao He.
