[T/N: Chapters beco twice longer (so even longer) from this point on so I'm gonna divide them in parts. =D]
Once again, the old physician couldn't help admiring Gu Jiao's dical skill.
Heart disease was incurable. But although they really couldn’t cure this disease at present, it was still a miracle that his condition could be improved so much.
"The young master’s pulse condition is good. Just keep taking dicine." He, who didn’t know that Gu Jiao already gave the dicine to Gu Yan several days ago, continued to act, "I refined the dicine for a long ti and finally finished it last night. Gu girl, did you bring the dicine? Rember to give it to Young Master Gu later."
Gu Jiao: I already gave it more than ten days ago though...
Her cover was unexpectedly blown...
Gu Yan fell on the bed laughing!
What happened in the small garden finally reached the ears of the Chief Steward.
The Marchioness had caught a cold in the past few days, and fearing that the illness would be passed on to Gu Yan, she moved to the orchid courtyard at the rear alone. After all, with Gu Yan's constitution, a little cold might kill him.
At the mont, Marquis Gu was in charge of all the major events in the villa.
Accordingly, the Chief Steward reported the incident to Marquis Gu without embellishing the story. He just described the incident exactly, including Gu Jiao pulling out the fence to save the puppy, the dispute between Yuru and Gu Jiao, how Gu Jinyu’s peony was accidentally broken and Grannie Fang angering Gu Yan.
The Chief Steward sighed and said, "Yuru is from the capital and due to that, she has always looked down on the servants of the villa. This ti, it can also be regarded as a lesson… But it’s truly a pity for Grannie Fang."
Marquis Gu snorted coldly, "A pity? How so? She actually dared to step out of her bounds. I think she has been in charge for too long, forgetting that she is just a servant!"
Whether he recognized that child or not, she wasn’t soone just a lowly servant could bully.
The Chief Steward was sowhat dumbfounded.
She was a servant, yes? But wasn't her status still higher than that of the dicine girl?
Moreover, Grannie Fang was the Marchioness's dowry maid, and the Marquis had always valued her. How co he suddenly said such a harsh thing?
Marquis Gu said, "Aren't they supposed to co this afternoon? Why didn't anyone report to this Marquis that the ti was moved earlier?"
The post indicated that they would visit in the afternoon.
Second Owner indeed planned to co in the afternoon, but he didn't expect Gu Jiao to be so complying, which allowed them to leave in the morning.
Generally, commoner physicians couldn’t et the Marquis. At most, they would kowtow to the Marquis after treatnt and get a chance to show their faces to him.
So the Chief Steward didn't bother to tell the Marquis the change in schedule.
Even Grannie Fang was criticized, so the Chief Steward naturally dared not shirk his responsibility, saying, "It's this servant who didn't do his job well, may Lord Marquis forgive this servant."
"Where are they right now?" Marquis Gu asked.
"It seems that they went to the courtyard of the young master." The young master was simply too attached to the Rejuvenation Hall’s people. Even if those servants did sothing wrong, there was really no need to throw out Grannie Fang and Yuru, was there?
Wouldn't it be difficult to tell the Marchioness and the young miss about it?
"This Marquis will go and take a look." Marquis Gu said and got up from his chair.
“Lord Marquis!” The Chief Steward stopped him, "What about those people outside?"
Marquis Gu hesitated for a mont before replying, "Let Grannie Fang stay, as for the rest, they will be sent away."
Grannie Fang was Yao shi's dowry maid and it wouldn’t be easy to explain to Yao shi if she was sent away. He allowed his son to drive people out, but he still had to take the people he drove out back. It was really hard to be a father and even harder to be a husband.
Besides, Grannie Fang had no other bad intentions apart from having a sowhat disagreeable temper. She was very loyal to Yao shi and was competent at her work.
"Are we getting rid of Yuru girl too?" The Chief Steward asked.
Marquis Gu said coldly, "Such a condescending servant girl who also slanders people, if not now, are you going to wait for next year to get rid of her? Are you going to take responsibility if she leads Jinyu astray?"
The Chief Steward hurriedly replied, "Yes, yes, yes, this humble servant will do it now!"
"Also..." Marquis Gu ordered, "Tell Grannie Fang not to go to Yan'er's courtyard after she cos back."
"...Yes."
Gu Yan had a foul temper and he would drive away a group of people every month, so this incident didn't cause an uproar in the villa at first. However, after hearing that Grannie Fang and Yuru had also been thrown out, people were really shocked.
No matter how angered the young master was in the past, he never touched the people around the Marchioness and the young miss. What was the matter this ti?
Gu Jiao, the person involved, knew nothing about the puzzlents of the people in the villa. After her cover was blown in front of Gu Yan, she silently went to the front yard to get so air. She wanted to be alone.
It was also her fault that she didn't communicate with the old physician in advance, but she really didn't expect the old physician to be so thick-skinned, he actually learned Second Owner and Shopkeeper Wang’s boastful way of taking other’s credits.
He actually said he finished it just last night after refining it for a long ti. She already gave it to Gu Yan ten days ago! To think she would be sold like that and not even her underpants was left!
Gu Yan, who was on the porch, looked at her smilingly.
Gu Jiao: What are you still looking at?! And with that smile to boot! Let save so face here alright!
Gu Jiao turned her head away from Gu Yan.
Just then, the little puppy woke up and began to look around for Gu Jiao.
Gu Yan picked it up.
As soon as the little puppy was approached by Gu Yan, it grew afraid, and its little body shivered as it whimpered.
Gu Yan was not stingy with his death gaze at all.
He was soone who didn’t have compassion generally. He hated these cute little things, especially this one who had been held in her arms...
She never even hugged !
Gu Yan stared at it with jealousy, as if he was about to crush it to death the next second.
The little puppy felt Gu Yan's murderous intentions and barked even harder.
"Woof! Woof! Woof!"
Gu Yan harrumphed, "For her sake, I’ll spare you."
Although he hated this little thing, she liked it, so it was fine to not hate it so much.
When Marquis Gu stepped into the courtyard, all he saw was Gu Jiao and Gu Yan crouching on the lawn of the front yard and making a doghouse.
There was a pile of wood scattered on the ground. Gu Jiao was responsible for cutting the woods while Gu Yan was in charge of putting them together. Finally, Gu Jiao was also the one to do the nailing.
There was a tacit understanding between the two people. Often after Gu Jiao finished one step, Gu Yan would imdiately know what ca next, even though he had never built a doghouse before.
The way the two of them looked at things was the sa.
People brought all kinds and sorts of bed mats for dogs, and they either liked them or didn’t like them.
They both looked like children who were playing earnestly, and they enjoyed each other's company.
They were truly twins of mixed sex, weren’t they?
