Chapter 122: 99 Truth (Second update)_2

The news quickly spread to the Yao family as well. _{frёewebnoѵēl.com}

Madam Yao had already moved back to Gu Yan’s courtyard, having awoken shortly after Gu Yan had left.

Indeed, she hadn’t managed to keep an eye on her son, and Madam Yao shook her head in resignation.

Her insistence on not letting her son leave wasn’t solely out of concern for his physical health. She also worried whether her daughter had fully come to terms with her own origins, and whether her son’s hasty visit might unsettle her.

When she learned that Gu Yan had decided to stay in her daughter’s village, oddly enough, Madam Yao was relieved.

If her daughter was willing to accept Gu Yan’s presence, it meant she didn’t feel intruded upon and might have already accepted her true identity.

However, Room Lady worried: “Madam, the conditions in the village are quite poor. How could the young master, who is used to a life of riches and comforts, adapt to living there?”

Room Lady could be somewhat obstinate and annoying in her ways, but her loyalty to Madam Yao and Gu Yan was genuine. As for Gu Jiao, Room Lady didn’t really hold her in high regard at the moment.

Madam Yao smiled and said, “Jiaojiao will take good care of him.”

Room Lady retorted, “He won’t get used to the food.”

Gently Madam Yao replied, “Jiaojiao is a doctor, she knows more than we do about what Yanyan can and cannot eat. Moreover, I’m sure he would enjoy anything she makes.”

Room Lady was skeptical: “She’s just a little herb girl who happened to treat you a couple of times. That doesn’t prove her medical skills are exceptional.”

Madam Yao clasped Room Lady’s hand, tenderly and solemnly saying, “Room Lady, you don’t know Jiaojiao yet. Once you do, you’ll like her too.”

Room Lady shook her head inwardly.

They were servants; their likes or dislikes towards the young master didn’t matter. As the daughter of the lady, Room Lady would see Jiaojiao as her young mistress in the future. Any past grievances, she would make amends for. But Jiaojiao’s heart seemed too cold to them, and Room Lady feared that her lady wouldn’t warm it up.

When Lord Gu came looking for Madam Yao, she was packing things.

Lord Gu asked in confusion, “What are you doing?”

Madam Yao replied, “Preparing a few sets of clothes for Yanyan to take with him.”

Her tone was relatively soft.
