Chapter 1061: Solicitous
Editor: Henyee Translations
“What news?”
“Didn’t Young Madam vomit blood yesterday? Doctor Liu ca to the residence to treat her. At that ti, he comforted Young Madam and said that she was fine as long as she took her dicine on ti. However, the mont she went out, she sighed at Young Master and said that Young Madam probably doesn’t have many months to live.”
“What?” The person who heard this exclaid and quickly covered her mouth. She asked softly, “You, are you serious?”
“It’s true. At that ti, I was leading the way for Doctor Liu and happened to hear it. Young Master gave an order on the spot not to let anyone know. It was because you were close to that I told you.”
“I promise I won’t say it. But this way, Young Master might also marry Miss Gu?”
“I think it’s possible. Young Master is very concerned about Miss Gu.”
...
“That’s not right. If Young Madam is really gone, Young Master will have to wait at least a year or two before he remarries.”
“You don’t understand, do you? As long as our Young Master brings Miss Gu into the house before the Young Madam dies, and then helps her beco the Young Madam, it won’t be a big deal.”
“But, but…”
“But what?”
“But she’s from a small family. Even if our young master likes her and wants to help her beco his first wife, Master and Madam won’t agree, right?”
“That’s true. Old Master and Madam would definitely prefer to find a suitable match for Young Master. Unfortunately, Miss Gu doesn’t have any advantage. If she did, our Old Master would still be easy to talk to.”
“That’s right. Back then, Young Madam’s family relied on a pastry recipe to get Master to agree to the marriage between the two families.”
“Miss Gu doesn’t have any recipes. It’s useless to say anything more. Aiya, I’m not talking to you anymore. I still have to change the tea. The tea is cold.”
Then, Gu Yundong heard rustling sounds and the two of them walked further and further away.
She closed her eyes slightly and leaned against the wall, wanting to laugh.
Did he really treat her as an insensible country girl?
She stood on the spot again. As expected, footsteps sounded again after a while.
Imdiately after, the servant girl who had led the way earlier hurried over.
“Miss Gu, so you’re here. I’m really sorry. I saw that Old Madam Wang was carrying so heavy things just now, so I helped her carry them over. When I ca back, I didn’t see Miss. I thought that Miss hadn’t co out, so I waited outside. After a long ti, I realized that sothing was wrong and quickly ca over.”
This explanation…
Gu Yundong smiled. “It’s alright. Let’s go. We’ve been delayed for a long ti.”
“Yes, yes, of course. Young Master and the others must be anxious.”
The two of them returned to the courtyard one after another. They saw that the four of them had stopped playing pitch-pot and were sitting in the pavilion chatting.
Zhang Hao was the first to see her. He imdiately stood up and said, “Miss Gu, you’re back. The kitchen has just made a new snack. Miss Gu, would you like to try it?”
Gu Yundong walked to her seat and sat down. On her left was Liu Yan, and on her right was Zhang Jiao.
Zhang Jiao smiled and picked up a snack for her. “Try it. This is delicious. It cost a lot of white sugar.”
Gu Yundong took a bite. Yes… it was a little greasy. They had indeed spent a lot of sugar.
She didn’t say much and watched the others talk and laugh.
Zhang Hao looked at her from ti to ti, but Gu Yundong just lowered her head and pretended not to see it.
It was not until Liu Yan saw that it was getting late and was about to leave that she stood up.
Zhang Hao and his sister sent them out of the house.
