Huang Zhong found his own Marquis on a big tree a hundred paces away from the courtyard.
Marquis Gu was carried up by Gu Jiao and hung on a big branch, just like hanging a wet cloth dripping with water without a single dry place all over.
When Huang Zhong saw him, he got a real fright. If not for the clear sky and the daylight, he would have thought he had seen a ghost at night!
"Lord... Marquis, why did you hang yourself in the tree?"
Did I do this? It's that extrely audacious girl!
"And why is your face swollen?"
It’s still that girl’s doing!
Nothing good happened every ti he saw that girl. There was almost no intact place all over his body!
He figured it out now. That girl ca to make him suffer!
"I don't want to recognize her back——"
……
Gu Jiao bid goodbye to Gu Yan. Gu Yan was very reluctant to part, and only after Gu Jiao promised to co see him again soon did he reluctantly let Gu Jiao go.
He sat in his sedan chair with Gu Jiao and sent Gu Jiao off to their carriage.
These actions made the jaw of all the servants drop in surprise.
It should be known that Gu Yan's sedan chair was his absolute private domain. Once, the young Gu Jinyu climbed in out of curiosity and was kicked down by Gu Yan on the spot.
"I'll also give you a lift next ti you co back." Gu Yan said to Gu Jiao.
Gu Jiao nodded, "Alright."
Instead of heading back to town imdiately after leaving the Hot Spring Villa, Gu Jiao went to Dean Li's residence first.
Dean Li was in the academy at the mont, and there were only Old Mada Li and her servant at ho.
Old Mada Li didn’t spend much ti awake in a day, and it was said that sotis she didn’t even recognize Dean Li.
However, she seed to recognize Gu Jiao as she smilingly grabbed a lot of candy for Gu Jiao at this mont.
Gu Jiao gave her a check-up. She was fine overall, but she was already advanced in age and her mory had deteriorated and her body had beco weak.
As Gu Jiao was leaving a basket of fresh mountain goods, she noticed that Old Mada Li had been looking at a mulberry tree outside the wall, drooling. Thus, Gu Jiao went out of the yard, intending to pick so mulberries for Old Mada Li.
But when she got closer, she found that the mulberry tree was actually not a wild tree on the roadside, but planted in the courtyard next door. Because the tree was too tall and the tree crown was very high, it could be seen from inside Dean Li’s courtyard.
Gu Jiao thought for a mont before walking over and knocking on the other party’s gate.
"Cough, who is it?"
Along with a low cough, the scarlet door was opened, and the one who opened it was a lady with a gentle and graceful temperant.
Gu Jiao recognized her at a glance.
She also recognized Gu Jiao.
She covered her mouth with a handkerchief, coughed twice gently, and then smiled, "Girl, it’s you?"
Gu Jiao was in a daze for a while. She ca just to pick so mulberries, how did she end up eting the Mada of the temple?
"Mada, you live so far away?" She actually ca from here to the temple to burn incense? To say it was a very long and arduous trip was not an exaggeration either.
"My surna is Gu." Yao shi said softly.
Gu?
Was there a second rich and noble Gu Family here? The answer was no.
Gu Jiao quickly guessed her identity, but since she didn't say that she was the Marchioness, Gu Jiao didn't ntion it either.
Yao shi invited Gu Jiao to co in. She was just basking in the sun in the yard earlier. The rattan chair, tables and other furniture were all available.
She pointed to the wooden bench and said, "Have a seat."
Gu Jiao sat down, and she found that there were no servants around the yard.
Yao shi saw her puzzlent, and said with a smile, "I want to be alone so I let them all go to the front yard. This is the backyard. Does the girl also live near here?"
Gu Jiao replied, "I was passing by and saw that the mulberry looks delicious, so I wanted to co in and ask for so. Did I disturb Mada Gu?"
"No matter." Yao shi was very happy to see Gu Jiao, though she herself couldn't tell why. She said, "I'll have soone pick them for you."
Yao shi called a servant girl to pick so mulberries for Gu Jiao. She took Gu Jiao around the backyard and said, "I don't know the girl's na yet."
“Gu Jiao.” Gu Jiao answered.
Yao shi smiled pleasantly, "You’re also surnad Gu? We were a family five hundred years ago. "
Gu Yan also said the sa. They were indeed mother and son.
Yao shi's condition wasn’t very good. She would cough violently after a few words.
Gu Jiao observed her pale face, paused, and said, "Mada Gu, if you don't mind, can I check your pulse?"
"Gu girl is proficient in the art of dicine?"
"I know a thing or two."
Yao shi smiled and put her hand on the table.
After the servant girl was done filling up a basket of mulberries, she ca over and asked Yao shi to take a look. Yao shi then signalled her to step down.
The servant girl put the mulberries gently on the table and then withdrew.
The condition of her pulse wasn’t very good, but her actual condition was actually even worse compared to her pulse condition.
Gu Jiao quietly retracted her hand and asked Yao shi, "Mada Gu, how is your sleep?"
Yao shi answered, "It's not good, I’m having a hard ti falling asleep."
Gu Jiao asked, "How about your appetite?"
Yao shi shook her head slightly, "I don’t have much appetite."
Gu Jiao paused, then continued to ask, "Is it already like this before you catch a cold?"
Yao shi: "Yes."
Gu Jiao: "How long has it been?"
Yao shi: "I don't rember exactly, but it's been a long ti."
Gu Jiao asked so more questions.
As a matter of fact, other physicians had also asked her the sa questions, but Yao shi was reluctant to open up, so she just always gave out perfunctory answers.
But Yao shi sohow trusted Gu Jiao and answered them all truthfully.
Gu Jiao added, "Mada Gu has seen a physician before, right? What did they say?"
Yao shi smiled wryly and said, "They said I’m overly anxious and worried, and told to relax and don't think much about anything. They also prescribed dicine for . However, after taking it, it didn't help much. Afterwards, I stopped taking it."
This was it.
The overly anxious and worried in the physician’s mouth was, in other words, depression.
But she was also accompanied by hysteria, which was very dangerous once it flared up.
Gu Jiao took two boxes of antidepressants from her dicine chest and transferred them into porcelain bottles.
Yao shi sat opposite Gu Jiao and could only see the erected box cover, which prevented her from seeing what Gu Jiao was doing.
Gu Jiao handed the porcelain bottle to Yao shi, explained the usage and dosage, and exhorted, "Mada Gu, you must take this dicine. Only in this way can you get better."
If the dicine of the physician was ineffective, how could the dicine handed by a little girl be effective?
But the little girl prepared this for quite a while, and Yao shi couldn't bear to refuse her kindness. She took the dicine and smiled, "I understand."
Gu Jiao looked into her eyes carefully and said, "You can't throw away the dicine. You have to promise that you will really take the dicine on ti."
Yao shi hadn't seen such sincere eyes for a long ti. Those who wanted to cure her were not looking at her, but at the Mada of the Marquis Estate.
If she wasn't the Marchioness, no one would put her in their eyes.
But this little girl in front of her was truly sincere in trying to cure her.
