The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 803

Chapter 803: 374 Abuse the Scum (first update)

Gu Jiao played chess with the old beggar for a while and then left, of course, she didn’t forget to take her earned gold ingot and "working fee".

However, she did have a bit of conscience; she left the copper coins and scraps of silver for the old man.

It was still early in the day, so Gu Jiao went to the Hanlin Academy. She originally planned to wait for Xiao Liulang to finish his duties, but after asking the academy’s Kong Mu, she found out Xiao Liulang had gone to the countryside again.

This time, it wasn’t to a distant place but within the Capital City, and he would be back by night.

"Thank you," Gu Jiao said politely and then turned to leave the Hanlin Academy.

Today, Xiao Jingspace was going to play at Xu Zhuzhu’s house; he had given notice in the morning, so she didn’t need to pick him up from Guozijian. The Xu Family would send him back to the Medical Hall in the evening.

Gu Jiao decided to go directly to the Medical Hall.

What even Gu Jiao hadn’t anticipated was that on her way back to the Medical Hall, she would encounter some hooligans.

Gu Jiao hummed in wonder—it was still far from the New Year, were they starting to do business so early?

There were six hooligans in total, dressed like bandits or refugees from their attire, but all of them were sturdy and wielded knives and swords with a certain air, suggesting they did have some martial arts skills.

The men were masked with cloths, staring at her menacingly.

After thinking for a moment, Gu Jiao asked, "Robbery?"

Given her current dignified appearance, it surely was not molestation, right? But one couldn’t be sure, as some men who hadn’t eaten meat for a long time wouldn’t care about the niceties.

Sigh.

Gu Jiao was not interested.

Gu Jiao turned around and walked away, too lazy to fight.

"Stop right there!"

The leader of the hooligans shouted fiercely.

The result of Gu Jiao stopping was that she beat up the hooligans until their noses and faces were swollen, and they cried for their fathers and mothers.

Gu Jiao didn’t bother to report it to the officials; given their miserable condition, it wouldn’t be long before they would attract the nearby officers, so there was no need for her to take action.

Gu Jiao dusted off her wide sleeves and walked back to the Medical Hall.

The reason she chose to walk was not that she had too much time on her hands, nor was it because she was too stingy to hire a carriage; she simply wanted to observe the shops along the street.

On her way back to the Medical Hall, she didn’t encounter any more trouble.

"Little Gu! You’re back!" _{freewёbnoνel.com}
