The Grand Secretary's Pampered Wife Chapter 99.1

Chapter 99.1

Gu Yan’s two Dark Guards were speechless.

Was this some kind of golden or silver palace? Did you need to be so excited? Just looking at the power of those legs of yours, they were only afraid no one would be able to drag you out from there!

Did you forget that you were a heart disease patient?

Why were you acting as if the woodshed in your own home wasn’t much bigger and more luxurious than this small peasant courtyard?

And who was it again that disliked the residential environment of the villa every day for not being high-end enough?!

Humph!

Double standard!

Despite the two Dark Guards’ complaints in their hearts, they really couldn’t just grab their own young master from the inside and take him away. Their young master never thought about the consequence of his own actions, and they often had to deal with it for him.

He couldn’t be beaten, couldn’t be provoked, and couldn’t be angered. This was their family’s fragile and sickly young master!

Dark Guard A: "What should we do?"

Dark Guard B: "What can we do? Just keep watch!"

Dark Guard A: "I mean the people of the villa. After a long time without returning, the people over there will surely send someone to look for him."

If that happened, the young master and young miss’ time together would be disturb and the young master would definitely lose his temper. Young master was p.r.o.ne to getting sick when losing his temper...

The two men sighed!

How did they get such a fragile young master again?

After some discussion, one of the two Dark Guards stayed here alone while the other went back to the villa to report.

Inside the villa, Marquis Gu was directing people to renovate Gu Yan's courtyard, mainly to prepare another clean and tidy room for Gu Jiao, build a small flower shed and put on some brand-new and expensive furniture for her.

It was now an established fact that he recognized that girl. There was no way for him to resist.

Since that was the case, he wanted to establish his image as a good father.

.... And show it to Yao s.h.i.+.

"Make the shed wider!" Marquis Gu ordered seriously.

The man replied, "Lord Marquis, if we make it wider than it is now, we will have to relocate the pear tree of the young master."

Marquis Gu sneered, "He won't say anything even if you remove it completely!"

As long as it was for that girl, even if his courtyard were to be torn down, Gu Yan would never utter a word!

Marquis Gu suddenly felt a bit sullen when he thought of how that boy had been sulking with him for a whole month after he accidentally cut off a branch of his pear tree with his blade while practicing a sword dance.

Huang Zhong pondered and said, "Lord Marquis, isn’t it too early to renovate the courtyard? Will the eldest young miss really agree to stay here? If not, wouldn’t you have moved the young master’s pear tree for nothing?"

Marquis Gu said laughingly, "No need to worry, she will surely come and stay here! That pair of brother and sister are so close that she won’t be able to refuse Yan'er."

Huang Zhong, who only half understood, thought for a while again before asking, "What if the young master didn't ask?"

Marquis Gu looked at him with a glare and replied, "How could he not ask? Can't you see how much he likes that girl? He didn't know she was his sister before, but now that he knows it, can he still not take her home?"

While speaking, the Dark Guard suddenly appeared in front of Marquis Gu.

Huang Zhong pulled out the sword at his waist.

Dark Guard B showed a token and said, "I’m the Dark Guard of the young master, and I have come to report something to the Marquis."

The Dark Guards around Gu Yan were arranged by the Old Marquis. The Old Marquis trained an army of his own when he was young. Later, the army was incorporated by the palace court, leaving behind some soldiers who could no longer fight as per the Old Marquis’ request.

These Dark Guards were their descendants. They were skilled in martial arts and were mysterious individuals, but they were few in number. Marquis Gu himself had no such individual around him.

This was also Marquis Gu’s first time seeing a Dark Guard under his old man. He narrowed his eyes and said, "Did Yan'er ask you to deliver a message? What is it? Did he want this Marquis to arrange a grand and extravagant welcome when he finally brings that girl back, is that it?”

Dark Guard B said, "The Marquis misunderstood. The young master didn't ask me to deliver a message. The young master didn't even have time to talk to me. I just came to tell the Marquis that the young master won't be coming back."

"What, what?! Who's not coming back?" Marquis Gu suspected that he had heard wrong.

Dark Guard B also suspected that the other party’s ears were not working well. He thought about it carefully, and spoke clearly, word by word, "It’s your son, Gu Yan."

Marquis Gu was dumbfounded, "Why won’t he be coming back?"

Dark Guard B calmly answered, "He’ll be staying at the young miss’ house." He paused, worried that he didn't get it clearly again. He then said word by word, "At your daughter, Gu Jiao’s house."

Marquis Gu said, "You don’t have to tell me! I know it's that girl!"

Dark Guard B looked at him strangely, "Weird that you didn't know who the young master I was talking about but knows who the young miss was. Aren’t you too biased?"

Marquis Gu: It was an expression of disbelief, alright? Couldn’t you understand?!

Dark Guard B certainly didn’t understand.

The Dark Guard course didn’t teach them such a thing.

Marquis Gu was so furious that the pit of his stomach ached. I asked you to bring that girl back, who told you to be abducted by that girl instead?!

The news soon spread to Yao s.h.i.+ who had moved back to Gu Yan’s courtyard.

Yao s.h.i.+ actually woke up shortly after Gu Yan left.

She couldn’t keep an eye on his son for just a bit and sure enough, this was the result. Yao s.h.i.+ could only shake her head.

In fact, she didn't allow her son to go out entirely because she was worried that his body couldn't bear it. She also thought that her daughter might still haven't digested the truth about her background, and it would bother her if her son rushed to find her.

Yao s.h.i.+ was relieved when he learned that Gu Yan was staying in the same village where her daughter lived.

Her daughter's willingness to accept Gu Yan meant that she didn’t feel disturbed. Maybe she had now accepted her true ident.i.ty.

Grannie Fang, however, was a little worried. She said, "Madame, the conditions in the village are very poor. How can the young master, who lived in gold and jade his whole life, get used to living there?"

Grannie Fang was a bit obstinate and self-opinionated, but her loyalty to Yao s.h.i.+ and Gu Yan wasn’t false. As for Gu Jiao, Grannie Fang still wasn’t used to her right now.

Yao s.h.i.+ smiled and said, "JiaoJiao will take care of him."

Grannie Fang replied, "He’s not accustomed to the food there either."

Yao s.h.i.+ said in a warm tone, "JiaoJiao is a physician, she knows more than we do. She knows what Yan'er can and can't eat. And as long as she makes it, Yan'er wouldn't dislike it."

Grannie Fang disagreed, "She's just a medicine girl, who just happened to treat Madame twice. It doesn't mean she's skilled in the art of medicine."

Yao s.h.i.+ took Grannie Fang's hand and said gently and solemnly, "Grannie, you don't know JiaoJiao yet. When you get to know her, you will definitely like her."

Grannie Fang shook her head secretly.

As servants, did they have the capacity to choose between like and dislike towards their masters? As the daughter of her Madame, she would also regard her as her own young miss in the future. She had offended her in the past, and she would make amends to her later.

However, that child's heart was too cold. Grannie Fang was afraid that she would not warm up to Madame at all.

When Marquis Gu came to look for Yao s.h.i.+, Yao s.h.i.+ was packing things.

Marquis Gu asked doubtfully, "What are you doing?"

Yao s.h.i.+ said, "Packing up some change of clothes for Yan'er to send them there."

Her tone was mild.

At present, she still didn’t know about Marquis Gu inflicting an injury on Gu Jiao. Gu Jiao was not also someone to complain about such a thing. And even if she was, she wouldn’t bring up her feud with Marquis Gu in front of Yao s.h.i.+. Yao s.h.i.+ had a severe tendency towards hysteria and depression. As a physician, Gu Jiao would only try her best to avoid stimulating her.

Having found her real daughter, Yao s.h.i.+ was in a good mood, and even treated Marquis Gu a lot better.

Marquis Gu felt comforted in his heart, but after reflecting on her sentence, his nice feeling decreased, "You want to send clothes to Yan'er? Are you really going to let Yan'er live there?"

"Are you against it?" Yao s.h.i.+ asked.

"Ah..." Marquis Gu hesitated to answer. It wasn’t very easy for Yao s.h.i.+ to give him a good expression. If he said he was against it, Yao s.h.i.+ would definitely ignore him again. Thus, he smiled and said, "Of course not. I'm only worried that Yan'er won't get used to living without you."

"That’s also true." Yao s.h.i.+ nodded.

Marquis Gu was delighted, only to hear Yao s.h.i.+ say next, "Then, I'll also move there."

Marquis Gu：“…!!!”

No, no, no way!

How could he let her move there as well?!

"Nevermind, I'd better not act so hastily or I might scare her instead." Yao s.h.i.+ was able to feel her daughter's feelings about her last time... which wasn’t necessarily rejection. Even so, her daughter didn't seem to be ready to accept her yet.

Marquis Gu breathed a sigh of relief.

But before he could completely relax, he heard Yao s.h.i.+ say, "Why don't... I ask her for permission?"

Marquis Gu shook his head like a rattle!
