Chapter 83: 83 Beating up Dad (First Update)

The old chief doctor couldn’t help but admire Gu Jiao’s medical skills once again.

Heart disease… incurable heart disease, was truly a terminal illness at that time, to have such an improvement was indeed a miracle.

“The young master’s pulse is good, he just needs to continue taking the medicine.” Unknown to others, Gu Jiao had already given the medicine to Gu Yan several days prior. He continued his act, “I’ve been refining this medicine for a long time, and finally completed it last night. Miss Gu, did you bring the medicine? Remember to give it to young master Gu later.”

Gu Jiao: The medicine has already been given to him more than ten days ago.

The sudden blooper…

Gu Yan was rolling with laughter on the bed!

The events in the small garden were eventually reported to the housekeeper.

These past few days, the lady of the manor contracted a chill, she feared her sickness might infect Gu Yan—Gu Yan’s body was such that a little chill could spell death, so she moved to the Lan Courtyard alone.

As for important matters in the manor, they were up to Lord Gu to decide.

The household steward reported this to Lord Gu without any embellishments, he simply described the events as they happened, including Gu Jiao saving a puppy by pulling down a fence, the dispute between Yu Ru and Gu Jiao, the unintentional damage of Gu Jinyu’s peonies, and the maid offending Gu Yan.

The steward sighed: “Yu Ru is from the Capital City and has always looked down on the servants from the villa, so it serves her right to be taught a lesson… It’s a pity about the maid.”

Lord Gu snorted coldly: “What’s pitiful about her? Who does she think she is, trying to drive people out? She’s been a steward so long, she’s forgotten that she’s merely a servant as well!”

Whether he recognized the child as his or not, no one, especially not a worthless servant, had the right to disrespect the child.

The steward was at a loss for words.

What was wrong with being a servant? Wasn’t that a higher status than a little medicine boy?

Moreover, the maid had always been favored by the lord, she was such an important person in the house, how could he suddenly say harsh words about her?

Lord Gu said: “Weren’t they supposed to be here this afternoon? Why wasn’t it reported to me when they arrived early?”

The note said afternoon.

They were supposed to arrive in the afternoon, but didn’t expect Gu Jiao to leave in the morning.

The local doctors usually do not have any audience with the lord. At most, after treating the illness, they might get an opportunity to show their faces by kowtowing in front of the lord.

Which is why the steward had not reported it to the lord in advance.

If their maid was being scolded, the steward was naturally not going to shirk his responsibility: “It was my negligence, please forgive me, my lord.”

“Where is she now?” Lord Gu asked.

“She seems to have gone to the Young Master’s courtyard.” The young master’s attention towards the Huichun Hall visitors seemed a bit excessive. Even though the servants might have made mistakes, there was no need to kick out the maid and Yu Ru as well, was there?

If the lady and the young lady learn about this, wouldn’t it make things difficult?

“I’ll go and see,” Lord Gu announced, standing up from his chair.

“My Lord!” The steward called out to him, “What… what should we do with the people out there?”

Lord Gu pondered for a moment: “Keep the maid, send away the others.”

The maid was the lady’s personal servant. Dismissing her was not an easy thing to explain to the lady. If his son can drive her out, he can’t avoid bringing her back. It’s hard to be a father, even harder to be a husband.

Moreover, apart from her fussy nature, the maid harbored no ill intentions, was fiercely loyal to the lady, and was very efficient.

“And what about Miss Yu Ru?” the steward asked.

Lord Gu said coldly: “That yamen, who considers herself above everyone else and blames others, should we hold on to her for New Year’s? Are you responsible if she sets a bad example to Jin Yu?”

The steward hurriedly acknowledged: “Yes, yes, yes, I will set about it right away!”

“Also,” Lord Gu stated, “tell the maid not to go to Yanyan’s courtyard after she comes back.”

“…Yes.”

Gu Yan had a bad temper and would let go of some people every month, so this incident didn’t cause much of a stir on the estate at first. However, when the servants heard that the maid and Yu Ru were also thrown out, they were greatly shocked.

No matter how angry the young master was, he had never touched the people from the Lady and the young lady’s side before, so what happened this time?

Gu Jiao, the person involved, knew nothing about everyone’s doubts. After the blooper in front of Gu Yan, she quietly went to the front yard for a breeze, she wanted to be alone.

It was also her fault for not communicating with the old doctor beforehand, but she truly did not expect the old doctor to be so bold, imitating the shopkeeper’s boasting act. novelbuddy.cσ๓

The medicine he finished preparing yesterday was the one she gave to Gu Yan ten days ago. She was made a fool of, left with nothing!
