Gu Jinyu interrupted him through her tears, “I won’t go back. I want to honor Mom and Dad for the rest of my life!”
Poor child, going back would make her an orphan. The Yao Family actually didn’t have the heart to do that, particularly after learning how much Gu Sanlang’s couple had adored Jiaojiao. They couldn’t treat Jin Yu unjustly anymore.
She caressed Gu Jin Yu’s face, “However, even if you don’t return to the Gu Family, you should still pay respect at your biological parents’ grave.”
“Okay,” Gu Jin Yu agreed tearfully.
The Yao Family responded with a nod of relief and prepared to visit Gu Yan with the Marquis. Suddenly, Gu Jin Yu grabbed her sleeve and choked out, “I’ve been bad. I’ve stolen my sister’s identity for all these years. I’ve taken away the world’s best parents, too. When my sister comes home, I will treat her well and give her all the love and warmth that Mom and Dad have given me all these years.”
The Yao Family patted her head.
The married couple then went to see Gu Yan.
Gu Yan had been up all night, excited as a little mouse, chirping non-stop, much to Yu Ya’s annoyance!
Oh, how she missed the quiet and unassuming Young Master!
Gu Yan was so happy that he had even forgotten to roll his eyes at his biological father.
Gu Yan stated, “She likes me!”
Yao Family looked at her son with a spoiling gaze, “Mother knows.”
Gu Yan added, “I like her too!”
The Yao Family nodded with a smile, “Mm.”
Gu Yan straightened up, “I want to go to her!”
Yao Family held her son’s hand and softly said, “Give her some time to digest everything first.”
Gu Yan restrained the ants in his pants, “Um, okay.”
—
The village.
Gu Jiao had not kept her true heritage a secret from her family, and Xue Ningxiang was present as well.
Since Gu Jiao was hurt and the old lady couldn’t stomach Xiao Liulang’s cooking, Xue Ningxiang was summoned to help prepare the meals.
After she finished cooking, the old lady attributed her to stay and eat with Gouwa.
The old lady brought up the matter of the Yao Family and the Marquis during dinner, and Gu Jiao glossed over the details of their identities and the identity swap incident.
Everyone in the room, except Gouwa, understood it clearly. Gu Jiao was actually Gu Jinyu, and Gu Jinyu was actually Gu Jiao- the two had exchanged identities.
But Gu Jiao’s tone was so calm, it was as if she were talking about having cabbage for dinner.
Xue Ningxiang’s jaw dropped. She had been living next to the Marquis’s daughter for so long? She was eating at the Marquis’s daughter’s home?!
Xue Ningxiang felt like she could barely hold onto her chopsticks.
She looked at the old lady, Xiao Liulang, and Little Jingkong, only to find that they remained very calm throughout the conversation, except when they learned of Gu Jiao’s identity swap.
Don’t you think Lady Jiao’s identity is quite impressive? Her father is a noble marquis!
The old lady: I’ve beaten up the most powerful man in Zhan Country, a Marquis is nothing!
Xiao Liulang: a second-rank marquis, with no substantial power.
Little Jingkong: he’s just a big bully who only picks on women and children. What’s so great about him? Humph!
Xue Ningxiang stared in amazement at her composed and unruffled neighbors: “…”
Had she discovered something remarkable?
After dinner, Xue Ningxiang told Gu Jiao to go back to her room and rest; she would take care of the dishes.
Gu Jiao, indeed, was feeling kind of weak, so she didn’t fuss and returned to her room after thanking her.
Xue Ningxiang washed the dishes, Little Jingkong went out to walk the chickens, and Xiao Liulang prepared the medicine he had retrieved from Huichun Hall and brought it to Gu Jiao.
The door was open.
He hesitated for a moment, then knocked softly.
Gu Jiao closed the first and kit, looked up: “What happened?”
Xiao Liulang’s gaze subtly drifted from the first and kit to her, speaking in a serious tone,” The medicine is ready, it’s for fever.”
“Oh,” Gu Jiao pushed the first-aid kit aside and reached out to take the medicine from him.
She disliked bitter medicine, but considering that he had painstakingly prepared it for her, she gulped it down without leaving a drop.
She handed the medicine bowl back to him, “Thank you.”
Xiao Liulang replied dryly: “It was no trouble.”
Watching his retreating figure, Gu Jiao smiled warmly, “Actually, I was thanking you for putting medicine on my wounds last night.”
Xiao Liulang’s back stiffened.
Gu Jiao had woken up to find that her wounds had been tended to, there was the smell of medicinal ointment all over her body, and there was a bandage covering an injury on her back. It was inconceivable that the old lady could have done such a meticulous job.
Xiao Liulang didn’t turn around, but he could feel Gu Jiao’s intense gaze on his back; which made him recall the sight of her bare back and the curve of her body beneath him.
