“Young Master!”
Nurse Fang and the rest hurriedly paid their respects to Gu Yan.
The second-in-command also made a bow.
Rankings were clearly paramount in Zhan Country, as a businessman, the second-in-command bowed to the son of a marquis. Gu Jiao was no exception, but she was not accustomed to bending her knee to people.
She simply stood, fixedly looking at Gu Yan.
When everyone else bowed down, she became the odd one out. It was impossible for people not to notice.
The second-in-command subtly tugged at her sleeve, signaling her to greet him.
Though they were here to treat the young master, it didn’t mean they could be disrespectful to him, right?
Gu Yan, however, seemed to ignore it. He didn’t greet Gu Jiao, nor did he force her to.
He turned to Nurse Fang, “Are you going to make me ask a second time?”
Nurse Fang was too astonished earlier, and forgot to respond. As she regained her senses, she told Gu Yan how Gu Jiao was refusing to throw out the puppy.
As for the matter of Gu Jiao breaking the peony flower, she did not mention that. After all, she did not witness it, and it was not her place to mention it even if she had.
All the servants of the house knew how much Gu Yan hated such little creatures for being noisy. Not long ago, a rabbit kept by Gu Jinyu, despite being silent, was thrown out by Gu Yan. This girl was like a moth to a flame, she probably doesn’t even know how she’ll die!
As expected, when Gu Yan’s eyes fell on the bloody puppy held by Gu Jiao, his aura turned cold at once.
Nurse Fang coldly huffed.
You wouldn’t discard it when told, now it falls into the young master’s hands, right?
“Where did this dog come from?” Gu Yan asked.
“I found it.” Gu Jiao said, “It was stuck in a fence, and injured by the thorns.”
Gu Yan’s gaze swept toward the fence.
The fence that Gu Jiao had picked up had been reinserted, but the freshly disturbed soil still showed signs of movement.
Yu Ru glanced at the broken peony flower and took the chance to say, “She even snapped the young lady’s peony flower! All for this dog!”
Yu Ya snorted, “You were the one who broke it!”
“It was her!” Yu Ru coldly pointed at Gu Jiao.
“You did it!” Yu Ya stood with hands on hips.
Gu Yan’s face became icy cold, and it was clear to all that he was angry.
He had a heart condition, and he was not supposed to get angry easily as it could make him ill. Otherwise, the lord and the lady would not have spoiled him so. Even when he took the ancient painting just to tear it apart in a tantrum, they let him have it even though they knew.
“Both of you, shut up!” Nurse Fang scolded harshly.
The two maids immediately fell silent.
Gu Yan looked at everyone present and then back at Gu Jiao in the flower bed, “You all saw that it was her who did it, right?”
The tone was clearly accusatory, and everyone bowed their heads in tacit agreement.
“No… it wasn’t her…” Yu Ya was somewhat frightened by Gu Yan’s aura, her voice weakening.
Gu Yan said indifferently, “They all say it was her who did it, yet you’re the only one saying it wasn’t.”
“Because it wasn’t.” Yu Ya muttered softly.
Yu Ru smirked in triumph.
No matter what, the young master was the biological brother of the young miss. How could the young master ever choose not to believe the personal maid of the young miss, and instead believe an outsider?
As for the maid Yu Ya, she was only a third-grade maid in the young master’s courtyard, without the eligibility to serve the young master up close.
The weight of her words was certainly minimal.
“Very good.” Gu Yan nodded, “What’s your name?”
Yu Ya was taken aback, “Me?… Yu Ya.”
Gu Yan ordered, “Everyone except the bean sprout, leave my villa immediately!”
“It’s Yu Ya!”
Wait, should they leave the villa? Does he mean her?
Yu Ya was stunned.
All present were shocked with the sudden change in color on their faces. Why was the young master not punishing Yu Ya and the young apothecary, but instead driving them away?
The only person with a normal expression was Gu Jiao, who had not shown even the slightest facilitation on her face from start to finish, focusing solely on soothing the injured puppy.
In disbelief, Yu Ru rushed forward, “Young Master, I am…”
Who do you think you are?
Two guards swiftly appeared, pinned her down with one finger, and threw her and all those who tried to smear Gu Jiao out.
The guards preparing to step forward to execute the order were stunned.
Where did these two come from?
Brazenly grabbing their jobs in broad daylight?
Mysterious guards: Heh, you know nothing about our young master.
Such a good opportunity to curry favor with him, how could we let you have it?
Finally, only Nurse Fang was left.
She was the personal maid of Yao Family. If the guards from the villa were there, they would surely not dare touch her. But the secret guards did not hesitate to carry her out.
Nurse Fang: “Let me go! I want to see madam! I need to see the madam!”
Shoosh!
One of the guards sealed her mute point, and she was unable to make a sound.
The guards all gave a thumbs up in admiration, even daring to handle Nurse Fang, you guys are tough.
The guards quickly disappeared into the dark after finishing their task.
When the young master needed them, they were his hidden weapons. When the young master didn’t need them, they were simply like air!
The second-in-command’s mouth fell open in astonishment.
Gu Yan motioned for his palanquin to be put down and got off it. He walked up to Gu Jiao and smiled gently, “Satisfied?”
Second-in-command: Wait a moment, what is happening? Did you throw all those people out just to appease a little maid?
Gu Jiao considered his question seriously, then nodded, “Satisfied.”
Gu Yan’s smile widened.
He was already good-looking, so a smile turned him simply astonishing and outshined everything else in the courtyard.
“It’s bleeding a lot, is it severely injured?” Gu Yan asked, looking at the puppy in her arms.
“Yes, I need to find a place to bandage it.”
“You can do it in my courtyard.”
Gu Yan led Gu Jiao back to his room, “Bean sprout, get a clean small mat here.”
It’s Yu Ya!!!
Yu Ya, hands on her hips, roared internally!
Glum-faced Yu Ya grabbed a small mat and placed it on Gu Yan’s desk.
Gu Jiao used iodine and cleaned the puppy’s wounds, applied some of her homemade wound-healing herbs, and in some places wrapped it in gauze.
“Do you have sheep’s milk?” she asked.
“Yes, Bean Sprout!” Gu Yan ordered Yu Ya to fetch a bowl of fresh sheep’s milk.
The puppy lapped up the milk, then drifted off to sleep.
Gu Yan sat cross-legged on the bed, intently playing with Gu Jiao’s stethoscope.
He put the stethoscope to his ear, bowed his head, and alternated between listening to his heart and stomach.
Wow!
The sounds were so loud!
The grim and desolate young master Gu had finally become a curious baby.
The old doctor took Gu Yan’s pulse as a matter of routine.
Gu Yan cooperated well with the old doctor, his good manners surprising the latter.
The doctor was also pleasantly surprised by Gu Yan’s pulse. Of course, compared to a normal person, there was still quite a gap, but compared to his past readings, he had vastly improved.
