Chapter 394: Chapter 404: Someone from the Lin Family Has Arrived

A moment later, Gu Youyou gave a wry smile. "Have you still not figured it out?"

"I..."

"Alright, you don’t have to say it, I’ll wait for you. But the deadline depends on your performance."

Since he mentioned the word ’wait,’ Gu Youyou was not a fool; she believed he had his difficulties.

His stubborn temperament was probably hard to change, and he loved to bottle things up. Before it killed him, she decided to just bear with it.

What should have been a tacitly joyful ending was, unfortunately, complicated by her, unable to resist adding, "If you’re really sick, don’t be embarrassed. The longer you drag out an illness, the harder it is to cure."

Jin Zijin’s face suddenly darkened. The flicker of emotion she had stirred was swiftly snuffed out by her thoughtless words.

Once again, in a fit of anger, he yanked her over; his strength caused her to cry out as, the next moment, she found herself straddling his lap.

Gu Youyou saw the almost man-eating glare in his eyes.

...This embarrassing position...

Gu Youyou’s cheeks flushed red, and she stammered, "I... I think that illness might not be... here."

After she spoke, she regretted it, wishing she could slap herself.

Jin Zijin ground his teeth, "Gu Youyou, has anyone ever told you that your mouth really needs to be kept in check?"

"Who would dare?" Gu Youyou reflexively retorted.

Right, she remembered that there were quite a few who despised her sharp tongue. Who could blame them when she never held back her criticism? Even the veterans in her company would often end up in tears because of her scolding.

But after transmigrating, she had already changed a lot.

So she had the confidence to glare back at him.

"Who would dare?" Jin Zijin sneered, "From now on, you’ll be dealt with twice a day."

"What do you mean by twice? Hey, why twice?"

His desire not yet quenched, he glanced towards those wicked lips and said indifferently, "Once in the morning and once at night; I’ve already dealt with you once, so we will leave the next time for tomorrow."

A morning and evening kiss?

...

Early in the morning, just as the doors opened, Butler Qiu, whom she hadn’t seen in a year, arrived, causing Gu Youyou’s jaw to drop.

How did he come here? Did the Lin Family already know about her accident, and that she was in Lingnan?

"Miss Gu!" Butler Qiu led a horse and quickened his pace.

"I heard you opened a medical clinic in Lingnan for women, didn’t expect it to be true."

"Ah...?" Gu Youyou was dumbfounded.

After ushering Butler Qiu inside, he immediately started to chatter away.

"A while back we received a letter from Master Jin stating that your illness had healed and that you had even apprenticed under a famous doctor. Later, you moved to Lingnan and opened a clinic specializing in treating women."

He looked around the clinic, continuously saying how good it was, "If the Great Scholar and Madam knew about this, they would be so happy."

Gu Youyou replied with an awkward smile, "How are Uncle and Grandmother doing?"

Butler Qiu beamed with pride, "The Great Scholar is a favorite of the Emperor, and Madam is a First Class Madam honored by the Emperor himself, so naturally they are well. They have been concerned about Miss Gu, though, as the Great Scholar, being an important court minister, cannot leave the Emperor’s side, and Madam, given her age, cannot endure the travel. When can Miss Gu come to Beijing to visit?"

Her? Gu Youyou paused for a moment.

It was certain she would go to Beijing, but now was not the time.

Because she had asked Jin Zijin before, and learned that the Emperor’s favored minister, the Great Scholar, did not amount to much in front of the State Preceptor.

How could she possibly involve them?

Besides, having never met her Uncle’s family, who knew what to expect?
