The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 81

Chapter 81: 81 puppies

Once these words were spoken, Du Ruohan understood that he was beyond salvation today.

He hated his own mouth with a passion. How could he speak the truth at such a critical moment!

As expected, by the time Governor Luo arrived to mediate, Du Ruohan had already been “taken care of” by Zhuang Xianzhi using family punishment until he was unrecognizable to his own parents.

Governor Luo, awkward yet respectful, asked, “Sir, should we investigate the two individuals?”

Zhuang Xianzhi vetoed it outright, “Does that kid ever speak the truth?”

A twitch appeared at the corner of Governor Luo’s mouth: The young master Du indeed spoke the truth when he criticized your test questions as very perverse…

Gu Jiao was oblivious to what was happening in Pingcheng. She was currently on her way to the hot springs villa.

This morning, the second shopkeeper personally came to her, telling her about the clinic schedule for the month, “….I understand that we have previously discussed outpatient visits, but you know Gu Yan’s situation. It is really not convenient for him to come out.”

The second shopkeeper did not know that Gu Yan had come to her not long ago, and she had given him a follow-up consultation.

Gu Jiao hesitated, then said, “Alright.”

“Eh?” The second shopkeeper was taken aback, She is so easy-going?

All my killer arguments prepared for the way here, never got a chance to use?

The weather was clear and the coach moved quickly. They reached the villa in less than two hours.

The attitude of the people in the villa had changed dramatically from their previous visit. The guards were still maintaining their stern faces, but their manners were highly polite.

The maid who came to meet them was the same as last time. Supposedly, her name was Yu Yaya.

Yu Yaya led Gu Jiao, the second shopkeeper, and the old doctor to a pavilion near the garden, “The young master is soaking in the hot springs, please wait a moment here. I will go and inform the young master of your arrival.”

The hot springs were close to the pavilion, Yu Yaya wasn’t sure where the young master would prefer to have the consultation, if it was at the hot springs, there would be no need to guide them to the main compound.

Yu Yaya went ahead to ask for the young master’s instructions, while she ordered another young maid to bring refreshments and tea from the kitchen to entertain Gu Jiao and the others.

Their treatment had greatly improved from the last time.

The second shopkeeper tasted a rose pastry and could not contain his grin.

“Is it that delicious?” Gu Jiao asked.

The second shopkeeper laughed, “Things from the Marquis Residence are precious not because they are delicious, but because they are hard to come by.”

What he was tasting wasn’t just a pastry, but honor itself!

“Woo! Woo!”

As they waited, a cry from a tiny creature sounded from the garden.

All of them heard, the old doctor looked in the direction of the sound and wondered brusquely, “What is that noise?”

The second shopkeeper paused his pastry-eating, he listened carefully but didn’t recognize the sound.

“I’ll go check.” Gu Jiao said.

“Eh… perhaps you shouldn’t…” The second shopkeeper tried to dissuade her, but was Gu Jiao the kind of person to be easily stopped?

After she spoke, she got up and walked down the stairs towards the garden.

Following the sound, she quickly found the small creature trapped under the fence.

It was a small puppy, recently born, somehow stuck in the fence. There were brambles under the fence, the result being that the more it struggled, the deeper the thorns penetrated its skin.

The puppy was in terrible pain, its eyes welled up. Seeing someone approaching, it extended its little tongue, whether from fear or excitement, unknowingly, it licked a thorn, which caused it to whimper in pain.

“What a silly little pup.” Gu Jiao squatted down, petting its fluffy head, “Stop moving.”

The puppy didn’t understand and continued writhing in pain.

To rescue it, she would have to move the fence and then carefully pull out the thorns embedded in the puppy’s skin, one by one.

Gu Jiao chose the best position and started to pull at the fence.

At that moment, a maid clad in apricot-colored armor approached, “Who are you? Stop what you are doing!”

Gu Jiao did not stop.

Gu Jiao was dressed in a simple peasant outfit, carrying a small basket on her back.

The maid found the outfit somewhat familiar, but didn’t pay it any mind. She stormed over, grabbed Gu Jiao’s basket and said, “Didn’t you hear me telling you to stop?” _{freewёbnoνel.com}
