Chapter 258: Chapter 258: Are You Moonlighting for Jingshi Room?

Huang Xiangwen, having just finished shoveling pig manure, saw his daughter-in-law gasping for air after vomiting and immediately felt a surge of pity. He dropped the shovel and hurried over to her.

"Oh my child, why are you vomiting so severely? Little ancestor, you’re really giving your mother a hard time! If you don’t grow up to be a magistrate and honor your mother, how will you ever make it up to her?"

Lei Qianqian raised her pale face, smiled, and said, "Mother, I’m fine!"

Huang Xiangwen’s laughter grew even more cheerful, "Look, look, your mother is worrying over you and speaking on your behalf."

The old lady of the Huang Family’s triangular eyes nearly shot out flames.

Little ancestor, indeed. It’s not even certain whose little ancestor it might be.

...

Gu Youyou was amusing Abao, who had been eating well and was growing fast. In just over a month, Abao had already grown to the size of a medium-sized dog.

Jin Zijin had said that it would grow much larger than an average dog, and she should be careful not to scare people.

Gu Youyou loved big dogs, so majestic!

In her past life, after she discovered her aunt’s deceptive ways—smiling on the surface while secretly stabbing you in the back—and her fear of dogs, she kept a house full of dogs. They were all large breeds, each one tended to by someone, with the sole purpose of keeping that aunt from bothering her.

Jin Zijin had been troubled by something for several days, wanting to ask, but had not found the right excuse, or rather, the right way to start the conversation.

Today, seeing Youyou so happy, maybe... it was time to ask?

But how could he broach the subject? Could he really just ask her outright if she’d purified Yuancheng?

If she inadvertently denied it, then he would assume Yue Rujing was just talking nonsense, having seen wrong.

But what if she admitted to it?

My goodness, how could a woman do such a thing? And as her husband, should he not take a principled stand and lecture her on proper conduct?

No, no, that idea was immediately dismissed as soon as it appeared.

Gu Youyou was no ordinary woman; she was a hot-tempered little cat with sharp teeth and a sharp tongue. If you annoyed her, she’d scratch you, and she might even bite you.

While earnestly working, his mind had already taken a dozen twists and turns, but he always maintained his composure, so nobody noticed his inner turmoil.

Gu Youyou, unaware of Jin Zijin’s internal struggles, continued to play with Abao.

Jin Zijin turned his head to look at the woman, whose smile was as captivating as a flower, and he couldn’t settle the tumult in his heart.

Does she not have the self-awareness of a woman at all? How could she do such a thing? Not even a doctor should.

Gu Youyou, without meaning to, turned her head and caught sight of Jin Zijin’s unfathomable gaze, tinged with grievance and resentment.

Why was Jin Zijin looking at her with such eyes? Gu Youyou was slightly startled.

"Is there something on your mind?" she asked, puzzled.

She took the initiative to ask, but Jin Zijin still couldn’t bring himself to do the same. Mainly because such matters were too awkward to mention. He finally understood Yue Rujing’s reluctant predicament.

It was too embarrassing to say!

This doctor of hers was also taking on the responsibilities of the Jingshi Room.

After much deliberation, he changed the subject.

"I heard from Ajing that grandmother caused a commotion at the clinic today?" Jin Zijin asked casually.

He swerved to a question that was totally unrelated, inwardly scolding himself thoroughly.

Gu Youyou restrained her laughter and cocked her head towards Jin Zijin.

He really couldn’t sit still. Even now, not needing to hunt in the mountains or using hunting as a pretext to meet Jin Ziyuan in the mountains, he still found other tasks to busy himself with, such as the wicker chair he was weaving at the moment.

But why did this wicker chair have no legs? Had he forgotten to make them? She was curious.
