Chapter 1235: 603 Alone (Second Update)_2 Chapter 1235: 603 Alone (Second Update)_2 Gu Jiao looked at her puzzledly, “How do you know?”

Hua Xiyao thought to herself, I’m just guessing, who knew I would guess it right!

Mo Qianxue suddenly sat up straight, coughed lightly, and asked, “Aren’t you two in a good relationship? What happened? Did you have a fight?”

Having lived here for so long, she was completely aware of Gu Jiao and Xiao Liulang’s relationship. To her surprise, that guy had declared in Yan Country that he would never marry, only to turn around and, disguised as Xiao Liulang, marry a girl from Zhan Country.

She really didn’t know what he was thinking.

Didn’t he say his life wouldn’t be long and that he couldn’t mistreat the girl?

Could it be that he coveted Gu Jiao’s medical skills so much that he was willing to sacrifice his appearance?

No wonder she noticed that his physique seemed much stronger than when he was in Yan Country.

Mo Qianxue’s thoughts veered wildly off track.

Gu Jiao shook her head: “We didn’t fight, it’s just that he’s ignoring me now.”

“Pfft—”

Hua Xiyao laughed even harder, “Fighting at least means he’s willing to pay attention to you. If he’s ignoring you, that shows how dangerous your relationship has become!”

“Is it?” Gu Jiao didn’t understand this.

Mo Qianxue said hurriedly: “Let him ignore you then! You ignore him too!”

“But I want to pay attention to him,” Gu Jiao said earnestly.

Mo Qianxue’s face turned dark instantly.

Hua Xiyao was trembling with laughter.

The unhappier Mo Qianxue was, the happier she was.

Mo Qianxue was annoyed by the couple’s closeness, so she was determined to help them reconcile!

Hua Xiyao sat on her own little bamboo bed, shook her hand fan, and said with a seductive smile, “Why don’t you tell us what happened between you two?”

Gu Jiao was organizing the first aid kit when she heard this, paused for a moment, and talked about what had happened when she went to treat Liu Yisheng.

Except she didn’t mention Liu Yisheng’s name.

Hua Xiyao said: “So what you mean is, your husband hasn’t heard you play the zither, but you played it for another man?”

“Hmph!”

Mo Qianxue, out of sheer annoyance, slammed the pillow down on the bed!

Gu Jiao: Why do I feel like the backyard is on fire again?

After some thought, Gu Jiao said, “I suppose so.”

Hua Xiyao smiled and said, “Well, of course he’s angry; he’s probably fallen into a vat of vinegar, not enough with ten vats of aged vinegar to quench his thirst!”

Gu Jiao murmured: “Is it really that exaggerated?”

Hua Xiyao, shaking her hand fan, said: “But it’s nothing. You’re a couple after all, fight at the head of the bed, make up at the foot of it. Just appease him when he comes back tonight.”

“How do I appease him?” Gu Jiao asked.

“Do I need to teach you that? You’re a couple!” Hua Xiyao scolded Gu Jiao with a glance. Seeing that she still looked confused, Hua Xiyao used the hand fan to cover her face and whispered, “His favorite thing lately is…”

“Hua Xiyao, shut your mouth!” Mo Qianxue threw another pillow at her!

Hua Xiyao dodged to the side, having already said what she wanted.

But Dr. Gu’s reaction was not quite right.

Hua Xiyao frowned slightly and said, “You don’t even know what he likes the most… Have you two really consummated your marriage?”

Gu Jiao’s eyes whirled around.

Hua Xiyao glared, “Don’t tell me you really haven’t consummated! I heard he used to be crippled! Could it be that his leg is also broken and he’s impotent?”

Gu Jiao said solemnly, “He’s capable!”

Hua Xiyao’s gaze sharpened, “You didn’t answer my first question! You two really haven’t consummated! There’s only one possibility if a man doesn’t consummate with his own wife—that is—he’s impotent! Or maybe… he finds you ugly!”

“You’re the ugly one!” Mo Qianxue grabbed another pillow and flung it at Hua Xiyao.

This time with a bit of inner strength, Hua Xiyao didn’t dodge in time and was hit so hard her head buzzed.

Holding her head, Hua Xiyao gasped for air, “Mo Qianxue, are you sick?!”

Mo Qianxue flashed out the acupuncture needles, her voice cold, “Hua Xiyao, keep talking nonsense and I’ll cut off your tongue!”

Hua Xiyao couldn’t beat Mo Qianxue and could only retaliate with a roll of her eyes.

However, as Gu Jiao packed up and walked by her side, she surreptitiously tugged at Gu Jiao’s sleeve and, covering her face with the fan, whispered to Gu Jiao, “I’ll teach you a way to appease him that’s guaranteed to work.”

After dealing with the affairs of the old Princess Consort Liang, Xiao Hen went to Hanlin Academy.

He had been spending too many days at the Ministry of Justice and had somewhat neglected his duties at Hanlin Academy.

He busied himself until the end of his shift before coming out of the office.

He felt a little stifled today and wanted to go out for a walk; just as he reached the doorway, he heard a familiar voice calling him, “Liulang!”

He turned around in surprise, only to find Fen Lin bouncing off a carriage, beaming with excitement.

Fen Lin had gone back to Youzhou with Lin Chengye at the beginning of the year and was supposed to return to Hanlin Academy at the start of the year, but word was that there had been a minor emergency at home, so he took an extra month of leave.
