Chapter 232: 139 Discovery (Update 2)
Gu Jiao is a very straightforward person, and whether she accepts or rejects something, she always makes it clear.
Unable to unravel the emotional knots of her childhood, she still can’t live openly with the Yao Family, but that doesn’t mean she will ignore them.
She continues to interact with the Yao Family as a doctor and this visit can be considered medical treatment. Those unrelated to her has nothing to do with her and she doesn’t want nor need to meet them.
Nanny Fang understands Miss Gu’s temperament and knows that she won’t pay respect to Lady Gu or others in the Marquis Residence. In order not to give others ground for gossip, Nanny Fang simply doesn’t mention Miss Gu’s return to the Mansion.
The gatekeeper still thinks Nanny Fang just invited a doctor to the residence.
Gu Jiao sits in the carriage and moves straight into the inner residence of the Marquis.
The first courtyard she sees is called the Main Tea Court. Nanny Fang says it belonged to the late Madam, although she died many years ago, it remains empty. The heir occasionally sits there, reminiscing about the late Madam.
“The Madam’s courtyard is over there,” Nanny Fang points at the end of the alleyway.
“So remote?” Gu Jiao said.
Nanny Fang sighed.
Isn’t it, though?
With the Madam’s awkward position in the residence, how could Lady Gu let her live in a well-located courtyard?
The Courtyard of the Consort Ling is closer and closest to Lord Gu.
In fact, Lord Gu would pass by Consort Ling’s courtyard whenever he heads to Madam Yao’s.
To curry favor for Consort Ling, Lady Gu had worked out this scheme.
Unfortunately, even if Lord Gu passes by Consort Ling’s courtyard every day, he never enters her quarters.
“That’s Consort Ling’s courtyard.” Nanny Fang pointed at a courtyard.
Gu Jiao took a quick glance from the carriage window, the pavilions, terraces, and scattered flowers provided a fresh and refined view.
Gu Jiao didn’t pay much mind to it.
Just a concubine.
Not worth it.
The carriage stops in front of Madam Yao’s courtyard, as Nanny Fang was going to fetch a stool for Gu Jiao, she lightly jumped down from the carriage.
Nanny Fang was taken aback, which family’s young miss could be so spirited?
“Is the Madam inside?” Gu Jiao asked.
