The Grand Secretary’s Pampered Wife

Shortly after Xiao Liulang left the house, Marquis Gu came to their door.

He came behind Yao shi's back, mainly because he couldn't rest assured leaving Gu Yan here. He always felt that this backcountry would ruin his precious son. He wanted to take Gu Yan back.

Gu Yan opened the door.

And then quickly closed it upon seeing it was his father!

Marquis Gu was so angry that Gu Yan was refusing to open the door. When he finally got around the back door, Gu Yan had already bolted the door of his room.

Marquis Gu whose teeth were chattering in exasperation: "..."

The baby chicks at home had yet to start their day's activities and were quietly locked in the chicken coop.

Marquis Gu found Gu Jiao who was busy in the backyard, pointed to the closed door of Gu Yan’s room and said, "You’re not concerned about him at all!"

Gu Jiao glanced at him openly and indifferently as though she was looking at a fool, and then proceeded to ignore him. Seconds later, she came out of the woodshed carrying an axe gleaming with cold light.

Marquis Gu gasped and said, "You... What are you planning to do? Are you going to kill..."

As soon as he spoke, he heard a loud clatter. It was Gu Jiao who impressively split a log of wood.

The wood was split into two with a perfect cut and an even force. One could easily tell that she was skilled in hacking people... Er, no, in chopping wood!

Marquis Gu gulped and it took him a long time to find his voice. He said, "Your place isn’t suitable for Yan’er. He grew up pampered, his food and clothing expenses are not common folks can afford. His health is getting better at last. Just a little neglect and he may get sick again. You are his sister, you don’t want him suffering, do you? If both of you, brother and sister, really want to be together, you can just move back to the villa. The villa is so big that you can live in whatever courtyard you want, and even if you don't like any of the existing courtyards, you can ask the servants to build another one for you."

He swore that this was the most earnest thing he had ever said with this girl.

He already made a great concession. Wasn't it about time for this girl to be moved?

He didn't yell at her, didn't hit her, he spoke to her very kindly. She should be satisfied now, right?

However, Gu Jiao was not touched at all. She said faintly, "He lives very well here."

Marquis Gu said angrily, "Look around you, can’t you see how shabby this place is? How can he be living well here?"

Gu Jiao chopped down another log of wood with the axe, saying, "Right. The Marquis Estate and the Hot Spring Villa are nice places. I wonder why he has been ill for years then?"

"This..." Marquis Gu was at a loss for words.

That's right. Gu Yan had lived in the most expensive house, had eaten the finest food, and had had many servants waiting on him. However, his health still worsened and worsened all these years. It was only when he met the Rejuvenation Hall people that he finally came back from the dead.

Marquis Gu knew it was impossible to separate the two of them now. Was it because they were twins? This pair of brother and sister were exactly the same when it came to opposing him.

Marquis Gu crossed his hands at his lower back, took a few deep breaths and said, "When do you plan to come back?"

Since she was so insistent on staying here, he should grant it, right? But there must be a deadline!

Imperial Concubine Shu was urging him so hard these past few days, he must take people back to the capital in the sixth month at the latest. He couldn’t allow this pair of brother and sister to act willfully and make a scene all the time.

"He will go back when he wants to go back." Gu Jiao didn't say anything about herself, because she never planned to go back at all.

It was now very clear to Marquis Gu how stubborn this girl was. Was she really going to oppose him to the end?

Forget it, forget it. Let Yao shi talk to her about it later.

The twins would accept it more easily if Yao shi were to do the talking.

Marquis Gu remembered his second purpose for coming here. He said, “It’s okay if you don’t come back with me for the time being, but you and that little cripple must part ways!"

Gu Jiao halted her movements of chopping wood.

Marquis Gu continued to say, "Since you two haven't consummated your marriage yet, you’re technically still a pure maiden. When we go back to the capital, never mention anything about having been married to someone. I will surely find you a good marriage partner!"

Dong!

Gu Jiao finished chopping the log of wood with the axe.

She could barely treat him as a fart whenever he pestered her about going back to the capital with Gu Yan, but asking her to separate with Xiao Liulang was simply outrageous.

What kind of a jerk father would secretly investigate whether his daughter had already consummated her marriage or not?

Gu Jiao actually misunderstood Marquis Gu. He just knew it because of the gecko cinnabar mark on her face.

But none of this mattered.

Gu Jiao had already lost her temper.

Marquis Gu was still chattering and persuading, and even recited a long list of famous and talented young masters in the capital, but before he could finish, he saw Gu Jiao stand up with a cold look on her face.

Caught in Gu Jiao's death gaze, Marquis Gu’s hair suddenly stood on end.

This girl, how could she have such terrifying eyes?

"For what reason are you poking your nose into my affairs?"

"Because I am your father!"

"Have you raised me? Have you provided for me for a day?"

Marquis Gu choked up, and it took him a while to mumble, "Isn't that because of the mix-up? Haven’t I come back to make it up to you now? As long as you come back with me, you will be the daughter of the Marquis Estate! Your mother and I will cherish and love you dearly!"

Gu Jiao sneered and said, "There’s no sincerity at all."

Marquis Gu said unhappily, "How did I not have any sincerity?"

Gu Jiao said unhurriedly, "If you really want to take me back, you should get rid of Gu Jinyu who has occupied my identity for more than ten years. This is the sincerity you should have."

Marquis Gu's face sank and he said, "How can you say such a vicious thing? This is not Jinyu's fault, and yet you are blaming her! She has been speaking for you all this time, saying that she is not sick because you bullied her or so on, but look at yourself. How could you be a sister to her?"

Gu Jiao said blandly, "I don't have a sister."

"You..." Marquis Gu remembered how Jinyu always called her sister with so much affection. Looking at this girl again, he only thought that there wasn’t a single good point in her, making people disappointed. He said, "I won't drive Jinyu away, stop dreaming!"

Gu Jiao: Oh, who cares?

Thereupon, Gu Jiao kicked people out and slammed the door shut!

Meanwhile, Huang Zhong was waiting at the entrance of the village for his own Marquis, but after waiting for so long without him coming back, he thought that something bad might have happened again. He was about to look for him when he finally saw his own Marquis walking towards him while covering his nose.

"Lord Marquis, what's wrong with you?" He asked anxiously.

Marquis Gu put down his hand that was covering his nose, rendering Huang Zhong dumbstruck, "Were you, were you beaten up again?"

Why was your nose bleeding? Why was your nose swollen?

"Isn't it because that girl slammed the door too fast?" He tried to take a step inside again, but was directly swatted by the door panel. His nose almost got crooked.contemporary romance

Huang Zhong let out a sigh and said, "Can't you just avoid making the eldest young miss angry?"

Marquis Gu glared at him and said, "How exactly did I make her angry? It’s obviously her that angered me!"

Huang Zhong asked, "What did she do to Lord Marquis again?"

Marquis Gu grunted coldly, "She brazenly asked me to kick Jin Yu out! You say, how can she be so small-minded that she can't even tolerate having another sister?! Did Jinyu say anything when she learned that she has a sister?"

Huang Zhong: That... is different.
