The Grand Secretary’s Pampered Wife

How could Xiao Liulang know about the elderly woman's inner drama?

Though he had no idea where she got the Jinchuang medicine, now wasn’t the time to think about it. Gu Jiao's condition was very serious, and she must be treated immediately.contemporary romance

Even though they had already shared a bed together, it was just genuinely sleeping together and with their clothes on at that. However, at present, he had to actually lift her clothes.

After a pause, Xiao Liulang turned her over gently and let her sleep on her stomach.

With a slight quiver, his slender jade fingers held her slightly warm clothes, and slowly lifted it a little.

The whip mark was extremely long, spreading from her faintly discernible right back dimple to her left shoulder.

He had no choice but to lift up her entire upper clothes, revealing her whole smooth back.

Her hands were on the pillows, and her body was pressed into a beautiful shape unique to a young lady.

In order to see her injury clearly, Xiao Liulang lit the oil lamp in the room, but his eyes inadvertently landed in the wrong place.

He was instantly short of breath, and quickly turned his face away, afraid to look around again.

After a second pause, he dipped his fingertips in the cool ointment and smeared it on her whip marks little by little.

She seemed to feel the pain in her sleep, but she only frowned gently.

The whip mark was really ferocious, not like just any ordinary whip.

She didn’t seem to be bullied by people, at least not anymore. Xiao Liulang couldn’t help wondering how she got this injury in the end? Who did she get into trouble with exactly?

Also, she didn’t care about her injury at all, as if she was very used to it, which was actually puzzling.

Although she had had a hard time growing up, she wasn’t always beaten.

After applying the medicine full of doubts, Xiao Liulang found a clean cloth to cover her wound, then put down her clothes and covered her with the quilt.

After that, he planned to go back to his room, but he kicked something as soon as he stood up.

There was a bang, just like the sound of a box falling to the ground, and then the contents tumbled all over the floor.

Xiao Liulang picked up the wooden box and put it on the table, and then picked up the things on the ground one by one and also put them on the table. When he stared at the things piled up on the entire table, however, he was somewhat at a loss.

"What are these things?"

"Also, how can there be so many?"

These strange things had covered the whole table. He simply couldn’t comprehend how a small tattered box could hold all of them.

On the day when Gu Jiao first fell into the water, he came to Gu Jiao's room to look for something, and he was extremely sure that she didn't have this box at that time.

First, the inexplicable injury, then this strange box, just how many secrets were hidden in her body?

Xiao Liulang took a complicated look at the sleeping Gu Jiao, and suddenly felt a little irritated, but he couldn't say what he was upset about.

But he really didn't have the habit of investigating people's privacy. Instead of continuing to study the medicines on the table, he put them back in the small medicine chest one by one.

He felt amazing after he finished loading them all. What kind of box was this, really? It could actually contain so many things.

Then, he really headed for his room.

But perhaps he didn't put the small medicine chest firmly, it snapped and directly fell off the table once again.

And for the second time, the contents rolled out again.

Surprisingly, however, what fell out this time seemed to be different from just now!

"Am I seeing things or..."

Xiao Liulang looked at the medicines on the floor strangely and doubted his eyes for the first time.

He put the things back, intending to knock over the box again and verify it. Suddenly, Gu Jiao on the bed turned over. The wound on her back was pressed, and she let out a groan of pain.

Xiao Liulang suddenly realized rummaging through people's boxes in the middle of the night didn't seem right. He sighed, put the box back on the table and walked back to his room.

The next day, Xiao Liulang got up early.

Gu Jiao's high fever had gone down by half, but she was still asleep because she was too exhausted.

Xiao Liulang didn't wake her up. He went to the kitchen to make breakfast, told the elderly woman the situation, and then went to the academy.

Meanwhile, Yao shi, who had been waiting all night in the villa for Marquis Gu to take her to the village, finally arrived at Gu Jiao’s house.

Little Jing Kong opened the door.

Generally, countryside folks wouldn’t lock their doors during daytime, but today Gu Jiao was sleeping, and Little Jing Kong plugged in the latch to prevent people from disturbing her.

Little Jing Kong poked his round little head out of the door and looked curiously at Yao shi and Marquis Gu outside the door.

He recognized Yao shi. She was the beautiful benefactor who always went to the temple to offer incense.

He recognized Marquis Gu as well. He was the evil man who ordered people to take him and JiaoJiao away!

The two of them were together...

Little Jing Kong pondered seriously, bowed his head and asked, "Benefactor, are you caught by him, too?"

Yao shi looked puzzled.

Marquis Gu, who suddenly felt embarrassed, "..."

Last night, Yao shi asked Marquis Gu a lot about Gu Jiao, but how dare Marquis Gu tell her everything? At least he didn't say that he had Gu Jiao and the little child beside her arrested.

He inquired afterwards and learned that the child was someone adopted by Gu Jiao from the temple.

With her already poor living conditions, she still had the mind to adopt a small drag bottle. He seriously didn’t know what that girl was thinking!

Yao shi didn't understand what Little Jing Kong’s words meant, but she vaguely remembered him as the little monk in the temple. She crouched down and looked at Little Jing Kong gently, saying, "I remember you, you’re the little monk in the temple, what's your name?"

Little Jing Kong blinked his big black eyes and said adorably, "My name is Jing Kong! I'm no longer a little monk now. I already descended the mountain!"

Yao shi touched his little spiky head, and smiled gently, "I'm looking for JiaoJiao, is JiaoJiao home?"

Little Jing Kong was surprised and said, "En, do you know JiaoJiao too?"

Yao shi nodded, "Yes, I know her."

Little Jing Kong hung his little head down and said sadly, "You may not see her today. She is sick and can't see visitors."

Yao shi was immediately worried as she asked, "Why is she sick?"

"Grandaunt said she was exhausted." Little Jing Kong thought about it and said with self-blame, "Raising me must have exhausted her."

After all, he ate so much.

Marquis Gu was a little guilty. Afraid that girl was injured by his whip yesterday, wasn’t she?

He didn't dare to tell Yao shi about it ...

Yao shi looked at Little Jing Kong imploringly, with a soft voice but an urgent tone, "Can I go in and see her? I promise not to disturb her."

"I'm not sure if JiaoJiao wants to see you. Wait a moment, I'll ask her." Little Jing Kong closed the door, ran into the house, came up to Gu Jiao's bed, and asked softly, "JiaoJiao, the benefactor of the temple has come to see you. Do you want to see her?"

Gu Jiao was fast asleep!

After a while, Little Jing Kong opened the door and said to Yao shi, "Well, JiaoJiao has no objection, you can go in!"

Yao shi entered the house full of excitement.

Marquis Gu wanted to go inside too.

Little Jing Kong held out his small hand to stop him, "You can't go in."

Marquis Gu frowned, "Why?"

Little Jing Kong raised his chin and replied, "JiaoJiao didn't agree to let you in!"

Marquis Gu was dumbfounded.

Did she really say that? You black-hearted little monk actually didn't ask at all, did you?

Marquis Gu said seriously, "Ask again if you have the ability! I don't believe she will object!"

People were fast asleep, how could she object?

Little Jing Kong thought for a moment and responded, "Alright."

Little Jing Kong ran into the room and said, "JiaoJiao, JiaoJiao, the evil man has come to see you. Do you want to see him?"

What evil man?

That girl alone was already irritating enough, how come even the little monk she adopted was very irritating too?

Marquis Gu's face went black all over!

Little Jing Kong grabbed Gu Jiao's hand and shook it, "I understand, you don't agree!"

He walked out with his head held high and sternly said to Marquis Gu, "JiaoJiao refused to let you in!"

Marquis Gu：“……”
