Chapter 52: Irony



Zhao San knocked on the door and entered the room.

"Sir, I will change the medicine for you."

Liu Zhao silently took off his clothes, revealing his wound.

Scarring has begun to form around the wound.

Granulation tissue has grown in the center of the wound, which is also the most seriously injured area, and it is about to heal.

Zhao San squatted down and cleaned Liu Zhao's wound first.

No matter how many times I have experienced it, every time I clean the wound, it is a test.

Zhao San said, "Sir, please be patient, it will be fine soon."

Liu Zhao said softly: "It's okay!"

After cleaning the wound, he began to apply medicine.

Zhao San said, "The medicine Miss Gu prescribed is really effective. With your permission, I would like to promote this medicine in the military camp."

Liu Zhao was silent.

Zhao San suddenly became nervous, fearing that Liu Zhao would refuse.

After a moment, Liu Zhao said, "Yes, but only for the royal guards."

"Thank you, Master!"

Zhao Sanda was overjoyed.

He mentioned another matter, "Sir, I heard that the people in the neighboring courtyard will be leaving for the governor's mansion tomorrow."

"Okay, I understand." Liu Zhao looked indifferent and did not express anything.

Zhao San didn't say much. He bandaged the wound, stood up and walked out.

Liu Zhao stretched his legs and endured it for a while, and he was able to walk normally again.

Liu Zhao walked back and forth in the room several times, and the noise from the courtyard next door would occasionally come over.

Liu Zhao listened attentively. Are you happy to go back to the governor's mansion?

As soon as it was dawn, Gu Jiu was woken up by Qingmei.

"Miss, it's time to get up. We have a long journey today. The weather is hot, so the earlier we leave, the sooner we can get home."

Gu Jiu sat up from the bed and rubbed his eyes, but he was still sleepy.

I stuck my head out and looked towards the window. It was just dawn. It was so early!

She said to Qingmei, "Help me wash and dress."

"yes!"

Thinking that he would be going back home today, Gu Jiu wore plain clothes.

After breakfast, we loaded our luggage onto the ox cart and prepared to return home.

When leaving the hospital, Gu Jiu subconsciously glanced at the meditation courtyard next door.

The meditation courtyard was quiet, as if no one lived there.

Gu Jiu retracted his gaze and said to the maids, "Let's go."

After saying goodbye to Master Huitong, Gu Jiu got on the ox cart and set off for home.

The ox cart swayed all the way to the second gate of the governor's mansion.

Gu Jiu had slept all the way and was now full of energy.

As soon as she got off the car, the old woman guarding the second gate came to meet her.

"This servant has met the second young lady. Madam was very happy to know that the second young lady had returned. She told the second young lady to go to the upper room after returning home. The other young ladies are also in the upper room at this time."

Gu Jiu smiled and said, "It's hot and stuffy in the car. I'm sweating all over and I'm afraid it will sting Madam. Let me wash up and change clothes first, and then I'll go and pay my respects to Madam."

As soon as she finished speaking, Qingmei calmly stuffed a purse into the old woman's hand.

The old woman weighed the item and smiled, thinking that the second young lady was really generous.

The old woman said hurriedly, "The second young lady has just returned and is tired and thirsty. She should rest for a while. I will go to see the mistress and tell her. Please also hurry up and don't keep her waiting too long."

Gu Jiu nodded, "Thank you, Auntie."

The old woman left.

Gu Jiu brought his people and luggage back to Zhilanyuan.

Qingmei helped Gu Jiu wash and change his clothes, while Qingzhu and Xiaocui put away the gifts given by Lord Gu and locked them in a cabinet.

Gu Jiu changed into a dress with a slightly more lively color, and fanned herself casually with a round fan in her hand.

She said to Qingmei, "Ask Jiang Yan to come see me."

Qingmei bowed and accepted the order, then went out to call Jiang Yan.

A moment later, Jiang Yan came to the study on the east side.

"This servant pays respects to the young lady."

Gu Jiu said, "No need to be polite! During the time I was away, have you been in contact with your fellow villager Guo Taohua?"

Jiang Yan nodded slightly, appearing more calm and reliable.

She said softly, "I met my fellow villager Guo Taohua twice and heard some of the situation."

"Tell me about it."

Jiang Yan pondered for a moment and said, "On the day Mr. Xie was kicked out, I heard that his wife smashed things in the room and cursed at people, making quite a commotion.

The third girl hasn't gone out for the past few days. She might have been punished by the lady.

However, since that day, the third girl suddenly went out, and together with the fourth girl, she went to the upper room to pay her respects every day.

In addition, Dr. Xu came to my wife's home to take care of her health and stayed for quite a long time.

The master has been staying at Aunt Bai's place for the past few days.

I heard that Concubine Wei was dissatisfied and picked a fight with Concubine Bai. Instead of gaining any benefits, she suffered a loss at the hands of Concubine Bai. She was scolded by the master and ordered to reflect on her mistakes.

After listening to this, Gu Jiu nodded with satisfaction.

Before leaving, she just gave Jiang Yan a few words of advice, asking her to spend more time with Guo Taohua when she was free, because Guo Taohua was working in the upper room.

Jiang Yan was indeed a clever girl. She had found out so much in just a few days. It was not easy.

After all, she was a newcomer to the mansion and had no money. If she wanted to get information, she had to have some tricks.

After this incident, Gu Jiu had an intuitive understanding of Jiang Yan's abilities.

She then asked, "Have you visited Xiaohong?"

Jiang Yan lowered her head and said graciously, "Miss, I have visited Sister Xiaohong twice. I told her to take good care of her injuries and not to worry about the errands.

The girl has arranged a new person to take over her job.

After hearing this, Sister Xiaohong became very emotional and her condition worsened. The doctor said she would need another half a month to recover.

When Gu Jiu heard Jiang Yan say this, he immediately laughed.

Jiang Yan is really a mischievous person.

Knowing that Xiaohong would be upset, he still deliberately mentioned the job.

She said, "You have done very well. Now, come with me to the upper room to see the mistress."

Jiang Yan was overjoyed and smiled, "Thank you, young lady."

Qingmei warned her, "Go change your clothes quickly. When you get to the upper room, don't talk nonsense without the girl's permission."

Jiang Yan smiled and said, "Thank you, Sister Qingmei, for the tip. I'll go change my clothes right away."

Jiang Yan left happily.

Qingzhu was jealous, "The girl really values ​​Yan Zi."

Gu Jiu laughed and pinched Qingzhu's face. It was full of collagen and it felt really comfortable to pinch.

She smiled and said, "I value you more."

Gu Jiu ate two pieces of snacks to fill his stomach, and then took the maids to the upper room.

Before I even entered the door, I heard the laughter of my third sister Gu Yue. She laughed so brightly and seemed to be in a good mood.

After being informed by the maid, Gu Jiu entered the upper room.

The light in the room was a little dim. Gu Jiu squinted his eyes and after two or three seconds, he finally adapted to the light in the room.

Xie was sitting at the head of the table. She looked fine, though a bit thinner. The veins on her hands were slightly bulging, a bit scary.

Gu Jiu quickly retracted his gaze and bowed, "Greetings to the Madam. How are you these days, Madam?"

"Good! Thanks to you, I'm fine."

Xie emphasized the word "good", but still had a kind smile on her face.

Gu Jiu laughed. She was happy that Xie was feeling uncomfortable.

"I'm relieved that Madam is fine. When I just returned home, I heard that a lot of things happened in the mansion during my absence.

I was worried before that my wife might get sick from being angry. Now that she's fine, I realized I was overthinking it.

Xie smiled, "Second girl, you are so thoughtful. You are weak, please sit down and talk."

But in her heart she was screaming, Gu Jiu, bitch! How dare you mock her?

She endured it!

Be patient during this period of time, and when the master calms down, I will definitely teach Gu Jiu a lesson.
