Yao shi excitedly held her daughter's hand, asking, "JiaoJiao, why are you here?"
JiaoJiao answered in a soft voice, "I’m here to go to school."
Surprise could be seen on Yao shi’s face as she said, "You... You’re also going to enter the women’s academy to study? How did you get in? Did you pass the entrance exam?"
JiaoJiao shyly lowered her head and responded, "How come? I grew up in the countryside and don’t know how to read most words. It’s all thanks to Dad. Dad worked so hard to get me an admission card. Dad is so kind to me! Mom, don't be angry with Dad anymore!"
Yao shi looked at him in shame and took the initiative to pull his hand, "Lord Marquis, I was wrong about you before. You are indeed a father who loves his daughter the most in the world! I shouldn't have let you kneel on the washboard. We should really mend our relationship. Tonight, please do come to my room. "
"Hahaha, hahaha, hahahahaha..."
Marquis Gu rested both hands on his waist, imagining what would happen soon, and began laughing like a fool inside the carriage.
Yao shi and Gu Jinyu looked at him with a frightened face.
He continued laughing until Yao shi lifted the curtain and saw Gu Jiao.
“JiaoJiao!”
Yao shi lifted open the curtain and got off the carriage. She walked excitedly to her daughter and took her hand.
Marquis Gu recovered his senses in a second.
Come, come, come! Here came the highlight!
At last, his redemption for his past deed was about to happen. Once that past was erased, he could then reach the pinnacle of his life!
Gu Jinyu's look darkened. Her mother had been listless since early in the morning, and she only thought she was tired. However, after seeing her real daughter, she was instantly radiant.
Clearly, she was the one who deserved the most attention today!
"JiaoJiao, why are you here?" Yao shi asked.
Marquis Gu: Say it, say it! You’re here to go to school!
Gu Jiao answered, "I’m here to go to work."
Marquis Gu:“…?!”
Yao shi also didn't understand why her daughter came here for work.
Gu Jiao pointed to the medical hall behind her and said, "Our medical hall has just opened."
Yao shi didn’t know anything about her daughter's partnership with Second Owner to start a medical hall, and naturally, Marquis Gu had no idea either.
Last time, he asked Huang Zhong to go to Bishui Alley to find Gu Jiao, but Gu Jiao wasn’t at home. The elderly woman told him that Gu Jiao went to the medical hall next to the women’s academy.
Huang Zhong reported this back to Marquis Gu afterwards, and Marquis Gu only thought that she was working as a medicine girl again.
Marquis Gu was instantly furious. Wouldn’t it be better to be a student with high status than some small medicine girl?
Marquis Gu didn't want to act like a bad father in front of Yao shi, but he really couldn't control his temper at this moment, "Just what are you thinking? Why don’t you go to school? Didn’t you make a promise to me? I sent you an admission card, I gave you some silver banknotes, and this is the result you gave me?"
Gu Jinyu had understood what was going on. It turned out that her Dad secretly got an admission card for Gu Jiao.
She stepped forward and said, "That’s right, sister. It's hard to get into the women’s academy. Without the admission card, you can only take the entrance exam."
Gu Jiao cast a faint look at her and responded, "Oh, you’re thinking I won’t be able to pass the entrance exam?"
"That's not what I meant." replied Gu Jinyu. "I just think that sister shouldn't have wasted Dad's painstaking efforts. I’m definitely not looking down on you, sister. In fact, I have mentioned to Dad before that if sister is willing, I can come and help you read and write."
Gu Jiao said, "Then why didn't I see you come?"
Gu Jinyu was instantly choked into silence.

Don’t you think you’re not playing according to common sense too much?
Who answers like this?
Gu Jinyu let out a dry laugh and said, "Then, I'll come and teach sister every day."
Gu Jiao casually remarked, "No, I’m not going to study."
Gu Jinyu:“……”
Then why did you still ask that just now?!
Marquis Gu could not bear to see his most precious daughter being wronged and told Gu Jinyu, "You’re going to get late, Jinyu. You should go to class now. Don't be late."
Gu Jinyu bit her lip and said in a small voice, "Yes. Dad, Mom, I'm going in first. Take care of yourself, sister."
After Gu Jinyu left, Yao shi took her daughter by the hand and walked into the medical hall.
Marquis Gu followed the pair of mother and daughter without any sense of existence, completely forgotten like a lump of air.
Second Owner was very considerate. He had prepared a separate quarter for Gu Jiao in the back area, and this side room had its own quiet and secluded small yard.
When the mother and daughter entered the yard, Marquis Gu followed them, but was slammed on the nose by the shut door.
Marquis Gu, whose nose immediately swelled into that of a pig: "…!!!”
After entering the room, Gu Jiao checked Yao shi's pulse.
Without the influence of the devil's snare flower, the condition of Yao shi's pulse was much better.
Yao shi's depression and hysteria were not caused by the devil’s snare, but it did aggravate her condition. Fortunately at the beginning, she moved out of the Marquis Estate resolutely, otherwise she might not have gotten to the day when Gu Jiao appeared.
After that, the two talked about family affairs.
With the urgent task in the military camp, Gu Changqing hadn’t been able to return to the Marquis Estate for several days.
Gu Chenglin was released from the ancestral hall by Gu Changqing, but he still couldn't get out of bed.
Gu Chengfeng went to the academy every day. Without Gu Chenglin to stir up any trouble, his days were also more at peace.
The only person fraught with headache was Concubine Ling. Instead of Yao shi having a headache because of her, it was her who had headaches because of Yao shi.
These days, Yao shi had been going to the Pine Crane Courtyard more and more frequently to perform the duties of a filial daughter-in-law, not even missing a day.
Old Madame Gu found pleasure in asserting her dominance over her daughter-in-law. She always summoned Yao shi over, so that she could show her might as the mother-in-law in front of her.
However, while that was the case within the courtyard, outsiders didn't know. They thought that Yao shi suddenly received the Old Madame’s favor.
Add to that that every time Yao shi walked out of Old Madame Gu's courtyard, she would have quite a fruitful appearance. Anyone who saw her would think that the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law was extremely great!
Servants in the estate were accustomed to looking at people's status. Now that Yao shi was favored, the direction of the wind changed.
At first, it was just receiving more charcoal than Concubine Ling. Gradually, Yao shi's three meals a day were more abundant and extravagant than Concubine Ling's; even the winter clothes for the people in Yao shi’s courtyard were made ahead of those in Concubine Ling's courtyard.
This was never possible in the past.
Nevertheless, Concubine Ling had been managing the estate for many years, and she more or less had some ability.
Being suppressed like this by Yao shi, she still remained calm.
"She's too stable, it's hard for me to get my hands on her." It was also Yao shi’s first time taking part in an inner courtyard struggle and she lacked experience.
At this moment, the elderly woman, who had been sleeping in the inner room, walked out with a yawn and threw a pack of medicine in front of Yao shi, "Use this!"
