Chapter 823: 381 Real Married Couple (Second Update)_2 Chapter 823: 381 Real Married Couple (Second Update)_2 The Crown Princess Consort spoke earnestly, “Youngsters from Jianghu inevitably harbor a sense of adventurous spirit, and their youthful recklessness is probably hard to avoid, Your Highness. Just make sure to treat others with courtesy and not let incidents like that with Bi Nu happen again.”
At the ntion of this, a hint of discomfort flashed across the Prince’s eyes.
Bi Nu was a powerful martial artist from the Turkic tribes, with imnse strength and swift moves, ranked thirty-ninth among the experts. The Crown Princess Consort had instructed the Prince to try and win him over, but the man ended up berating the Prince with arrogant words, and the Prince had him whipped for his insolence.
This incident occurred outside the Martial Arts Arena, and although the arena itself did not interfere, the Turkic martial artist spread the word, causing several experts who disapproved of the Prince’s actions to sever ties with them.
The Prince cleared his throat and said, “Rest assured, I will definitely not use my status to oppress others this ti. I will speak to him calmly and amicably.”
Gu Jiao was still unaware that she had once again attracted attention.
It was still early, not yet ti for Xiao Jingkong to get out of school. She left the Embroidery Building and headed back to the dical Hall for a while.
She entered through the back door, unseen by others.
She ventured into her own Courtyard, took off her mask, freshened up, and changed into her usual attire.
Just as she finished, a clamor arose from outside the Courtyard.
“Why did you bump into !”
It was a young girl’s voice.
“Who bumped into you! It was clearly you who bumped into !”
…It was a man’s voice, sowhat familiar, like… Gu Chengfeng’s.
“Bumblebee!”
“Cylinder!”
Indeed, in the Backyard of the dical Hall, Gu Chengfeng, who had co to buy Hair Growth Potion for his brother, encountered Yuan Tong, who had accompanied her sister to seek dical advice.
Their encounter was like a needle against wheat awn.
Yuan Tong glared, her eyes round with anger, “You did it on purpose! To think a grown man like you could be so petty! You bully won!”
Gu Chengfeng, bristling, lifted his right foot, “Who is bullying you! Look at my shoe! You clearly stepped on ! And before I could say a word, you turn around and accuse of bumping into you! Have you no sense of reason?”
Yuan Tong took a closer look, and indeed, there was a shoe print on it. Her gaze flickered, and she stamred, “Who… who told you to not watch where you’re going?”
Gu Chengfeng chuckled, “I don’t watch where I’m going? Alright, even assuming I don’t, you do have eyes, don’t you? Why didn’t you dodge? So it seems like you saw coming, not looking, and intentionally stepped on my foot, bumped into on purpose!”
Gu Chengfeng had no other intentions, but this sounded to Yuan Tong like he was insinuating she was shaless, lacked modesty, and was deliberately trying to catch his attention.
Yuan Tong was furious, “You… you’re shaless!”
Gu Chengfeng coldly retorted, “Who’s shaless?”
Yuan Tong huffed, “Whoever responds is the shaless one!”
“You…”
“Hmph!”
“Yuan Tong, co back.”
At the back entrance of the Grand Hall, the pale-faced little Taoist nun said to Yuan Tong while being supported by a maid.
Yuan Tong turned and her face drained of color as she walked over, “Sister, why have you left the carriage? Didn’t I tell you to wait for there? I’ll go and fetch Miss Gu for you!”
Gu Chengfeng had no grievances with the little Taoist nun, and seeing her so ill, he knew it was not appropriate to continue the quarrel with her sister.
He snorted through his nose and walked away.
Just as he reached the entrance of the Courtyard, Gu Jiao ca out.
Gu Jiao had already seen the little Taoist nun; her complexion didn’t look good.
Gu Chengfeng cleared his throat and said, “Go and see your patient first, I’m not in a hurry.”
“Okay,” Gu Jiao nodded, the Consulting Room was full at that mont, and she invited Yuan Tong to help the little nun into her own Courtyard.
Gu Chengfeng, finding it improper to follow them, waited in the Grand Hall. Still not seeing Gu Jiao coming out, and feeling uneasy to urge her, he began to wait listlessly in the Hall as he was not in a rush.
The little Taoist nun lay on the bedchamber, clutching her belly, beads of cold sweat erging layer upon layer.
“Where do you feel uncomfortable?” Gu Jiao asked her.
The little Taoist nun glanced at the maid and Yuan Tong beside her.
Gu Jiao turned and said, “You two, go out for a bit. I’m not accustod to being watched while I’m treating a patient.”
Yuan Tong opened her mouth to speak, “Oh, then please take care of my sister.”
Gu Jiao nodded.
Yuan Tong and the maid left the room.
Gu Jiao turned to the little Taoist nun again, “Now, can you tell where you’re uncomfortable?”
The little Taoist nun hesitated, obviously too embarrassed to speak. After a long mont, she murmured, “I… my belly hurts…”
“Let take a look,” Gu Jiao reached for her wrist to take her pulse.
As the little Taoist nun watched Gu Jiao’s silent deanor, she lost her usual calm, bit her lip, and whispered, “Have I… am I experiencing a miscarriage?”
