The Grand Secretary’s Pampered Wife

"Young Master!"

Grannie Fang and others promptly made their salutations towards Gu Yan.

Second Owner also cupped his hands in greeting and bowed down.

The State of Zhao was strict in regards to social hierarchy. Second Owner, as a businessman, of course had to bow down and salute in greeting when meeting the son of the Marquis. Gu Jiao was no exception to this, it was just that she had no habit of kowtowing to others.

Hence, she merely stared at Gu Yan.

With everyone having their heads bowed, she simply stood out from the crowd, and people didn’t even notice it.

Second Owner tugged at her sleeve unobtrusively and motioned for her to salute.

Even though they were here to treat the young master, that didn’t give them the right to be rude to the Young Master, no?

But Gu Yan didn't seem to see her. He was neither greeting Gu Jiao nor forcing Gu Jiao to salute.

He looked at Grannie Fang and said, "Are you waiting for this grandpa to ask for the second time?"

Grannie Fang was so shocked that she forgot to answer for a moment. But now that her senses had returned, she told Gu Yan about Gu Jiao picking up the puppy and refusing to throw it out.

As for Gu Jiao's breaking the peony, she didn't mention it. After all, she didn't see it with her own eyes, which meant it shouldn't be her turn to say it.

Everyone in the villa knew that Gu Yan hated these little things most because they were noisy. Not long ago, Gu Jinyu wanted to raise a rabbit that didn’t even make a sound, and it was thrown out by Gu Yan forcibly. This little girl really ran into a blade this time, afraid she would not know how she died!

Sure enough, when Gu Yan's eyes fell on the bloody little puppy Gu Jiao held in her arms, his aura suddenly grew cold.

Grannie Fang coldly snorted.

I already told you to throw it out, who told you to wait till you fall into the hands of the young master?

"Where did you get that dog?" Gu Yan asked.

"I picked it up." Gu Jiao said, "It was stuck under the fence and stabbed by thorns."

Gu Yan's eyes swept to the fence.

The fence pulled out by Gu Jiao had already been reinserted, but traces of movement could still be seen in the remolded soil.

Yuru cast a glance at the broken peony and had a sudden idea. She said, "She also broke the peony of the young miss! Just for this ugly puppy!"

Yu Ya'er chimed in with a shout, "You obviously broke it!"

"It's her!" Yuru coldly pointed to Gu Jiao.

"It's you!" Yu Ya'er rested her hands on her hips.

Gu Yan's expression turned so cold that anyone could tell that he was furious.

He had a heart disease and mustn’t get angry rashly, otherwise he would have a flare-up. If not for that, the Marquis and Marchioness wouldn't spoil him so much, to the point that even the precious antique paintings of the Marquis were given to him despite knowing that he would rip them off to vent his anger.

"Shut up, both of you!" Grannie Fang shouted sternly.

The two servant girls fell silent in an instant.

Gu Yan glanced at everyone present, and then looked at Gu Jiao among the flowers and asked, "Did you all see her did it?"

It was a criticizing tone, and everyone bowed their heads in tacit agreement.

"No... It’s not her..." Yu Ya 'er was somewhat frightened by Gu Yan's aura, and her voice became weak.

Gu Yan said flatly, "They all said she did it, you were the only one who’s denying it."

"It’s not true." Yu Ya'er protested in a low voice.

Yuru proudly hooked up the corner of her lips.

No matter what, the young miss was the young master’s elder sister. How could the young master not believe the personal servant girl of his elder sister, but believe a wild girl from the outside?

As for this Yu Ya'er, she was just a third-class servant girl in the courtyard of the young master, who didn’t even have the qualification to serve the young master in close quarters.

Of course, her words didn’t carry much weight.

"Very well." Gu Yan nodded his head and asked, "What's your name?"

Yu Ya'er was stunned as she replied, "Me... Me? It’s Yu Ya'er."

Gu Yan then said, "Except for Douya, this young master wants everyone else driven out of the villa!"

"It's Yu Ya!"

[T/N: Douya means beans sprout | Yu Ya means Jade Sprout/buds (lit.)]

Wait, he was driving them out of the villa? Not her?

Yu Ya'er froze.

At the same time, everyone’s expressions changed. Why did the Young Master want them driven out instead of punishing Yu Ya'er and the medicine girl?

Gu Jiao was the only one whose expression remained unchanged. From beginning to end, not a single ripple was seen on her face, and she only focused her whole attention in comforting the injured little puppy.

Yuru couldn’t believe it and pounced towards Gu Yan, "Young Master, I’m..."

What the?!

The two dark guards quickly appeared, pinned her down with ease, and threw her out with all the other servants who tried to slander Gu Jiao.

The guards of the villa, who were about to come forward to execute the orders, were all dumbfounded.

Where did those two fellas come from?

They actually robbed their livelihood in broad daylight?

The black-clad dark guards: Heh, you people simply know nothing about the ‘little darling’.

How could they just hand over such a good chance to please him to you?

Grannie Fang was the only one left.

She was Yao shi's dowry maid, and the guards of the villa dared not touch her, so the dark guards took her out as well without saying a word.

Grannie Fang: "Let me go! I want to see my Madame! I want to see my Madame!"

Press!

One of the dark guards pressed her mute point, so that she couldn't make any noise in an instant.

The villa guards gave him a thumbs up, even they didn’t dare to touch Grannie Fang. You, fella, was simply awesome.

The black-clad dark guards immediately disappeared from the scene after finishing their job.

When the young master needed them, they were hidden weapons! When the young master didn’t need them, they were air!

Second Owner gaped his mouth and could not close it for a long time.

Gu Yan had the sedan chair put down, alighted it and came over to Gu Jiao. Then, with a soft smile, he asked, "How was it? Did it relieve your anger?"

Second Owner: Wait, what's going on ah? You throw so many people out just to relieve the little girl’s anger?

Gu Jiao thought carefully and nodded, "It did."

Gu Yan’s smile became wide.

He was born good-looking. When such a handsome countenance pulled a smile, even the garden filled with the beauty of spring seemed bleaked in comparison.

"It lost a lot of blood. Is it badly hurt?" Gu Yan looked at the little puppy in Gu Jiao’s arms and asked.

"En, I need to find a place to stop the bleeding."

"You can come to my courtyard then."

Gu Yan took Gu Jiao back to his courtyard and said, "Douya, bring a clean mat."

It's Yu Ya!!!

Yu Ya'er rested her hands on her hips and growled inwardly!

Yu Ya'er brought the mat to Gu Yan's room with a black face and spread it on Gu Yan's table.

Gu Jiao took out an iodophor to clean the wound of the little puppy, applied some of her homemade Jinchuang medicine on it, and wrapped some parts in gauze.

"Do you have any goat's milk?" She asked.

"Yes, Douya!" Gu Yan asked Yu Ya'er to fetch a bowl of fresh goat milk.

The puppy licked and drank the milk for a while before falling asleep.

Gu Yan sat cross-legged on the bed, playing with Gu Jiao's stethoscope very intently.

He wore the stethoscope on his ear, lowered his head, and listened to his heart for a moment, then to his stomach next.

Whoa!

What a loud sound!

The world-weary and bad-tempered Young Master Gu finally became a curious little darling.

The old physician routinely checked Gu Yan's pulse.

Gu Yan was very cooperative with the old physician, and the old physician was flattered by his good attitude.

The condition of Gu Yan's pulse also surprised the old physician. Of course, there were still many gaps compared with normal people, but compared with the past, his condition had already greatly improved.
