That was fifty taels, fifty taels of silver!
Our whole family couldn’t earn fifty taels in two years, and you just gave it away to a stranger.
I’m telling you, you’ve been deceived, they’ve spoiled your granddaughter, and now they’ve taken the silver and run.
Just you watch, if that Jin Zijin ever cos back, I’ll read my na backwards…”
“Alas, that damned swindler will certainly never co back…”
Gu Feng: “…”
Gu Youyou: “…”
Old Mrs.
Huang cried bitterly in Gu Youyou’s ho for a while before Gu Feng managed to drag her away.
Thankfully, Jin Zijin’s thatched cottage was located in a remote area, otherwise, she would have lost all face.
The butler’s carriage stopped upon reaching the town.
The butler said, “Master Jin, I shall leave you here.
The road ahead is the official highway, it’s easy to travel!”
Jin Zijin nodded slightly and said in a deep voice, “Butler, may I have a word with you in private!”
The butler was slightly stunned, wondering what Jin Zijin could possibly want to say to him alone.
Could it be about Miss Gu?
That was not sothing to take lightly.
He glanced at the coachman sitting on the carriage, but still followed Jin Zijin aside.
“Master Jin, whatever you want to say, just say it!”
Jin Zijin nodded and said, “Butler, whatever you’ve reported to the Lin Family in previous years, report the sa this year.”
The butler’s expression changed, and he exclaid, “Master Jin, what do you an by this?”
Was he suggesting they should not tell the lord and madam that Miss Gu’s illness was greatly improved?
Jin Zijin said gravely, “Butler, there’s no need to ask.
By doing so, we also ensure Youyou’s safety.
You are a smart man, or else the Great Scholar Lin wouldn’t have trusted you with such an important task!”
A few simple words set off turbulent waves in the butler’s heart.
He looked at Jin Zijin for a long ti, his heart churning, and ultimately, he nodded his head.
All along the way, the butler was restless, with Jin Zijin’s words and his deanor popping up in his mind from ti to ti.
A young man who seed unkempt, but whose mind was as clear as a polished mirror.
There were suspicions they had harbored for so ti, but…
ten years ago, the Great Scholar Lin was only a fourth-grade reader in the Imperial Academy, his status in the capital was unstable, and he simply had no ti to worry about anything else.
…
The days grew longer, and the weather warr.
The snow had stopped falling outside, and the thick snow on the mountains was also slowly lting away.
Gu Youyou, who had traveled through ti, had finally made it through her first harsh winter.
Gu Youyou was a doctor, a practitioner of Chinese dicine, but she also had her own hobbies – one of which was clothing design.
If her parents had not passed away so early, leaving her as their only daughter, she would have, like her aunt, renounced her inheritance and pursued what she enjoyed.
But in this world, there are too many helpless situations.
Those who can live according to their own wishes are God’s favorites, but Gu Youyou never felt she was one of them.
She thought she must be one of those God scorned, which is why she had faced so many hardships from a young age.
A lifeti, two lifetis – she wondered when there would be an end.
She knew how to make clothes, but for fear of revealing too much and arousing suspicion, Gu Youyou dared not proceed.
With spring approaching and the weather set to warm up even more soon, the farming folks would have endless chores to do.
Taking advantage of the lull before the busy season, both n and won had to do so handwork.
