The Prince Regent Is Powerful, And My Mommy Is Expecting Again!

178 If You Dare to Say Another Word Against My Mother, Don’t Blame Me For Falling Out With You

“I went to Jing City a while ago and was delayed for a few days. Thank you for your trouble. Here are some snacks brought from Jing City. I hope you will accept them.” Gu Qingxue handed the snacks to the teacher.

The old scholar declined several times. Seeing that Gu Qingxue insisted, he had no choice but to accept them. “Lady Gu, you’re too polite. Then, I’ll thank you on behalf of the students in the academy. I’ll distribute these snacks to them before we leave the hall later. Lil’ Lin, the journey has been tiring. It’s no harm for you to rest at home again. Anyway, we haven’t learned anything new in the past few days. I’ve only consolidated the contents of the previous exams. You got full marks in the previous exams, so it’s no harm if you don’t come.”

It was almost December, and the new year was coming in less than two months. Before that, they would not be able to learn anything new. Therefore, the old scholar had been reviewing what they had learned in the past few days and did not talk about any new knowledge.

Gu Lin did not agree, “Reviewing past knowledge is important. We can’t neglect our studies even for a day. I remember everything you taught me.”

“Good, that’s great. Lady Gu, please go to town. Leave Lil’ Lin to me,” the old scholar said to Gu Qingxue with a smile.

“Thank you, sir,” Gu Qingxue said politely. She bowed and left with a smile.

Behind the old scholar, an ordinary-looking young man walked out. He looked at Gu Qingxue’s back as she left and sighed, “This lady is different from before. She’s no longer so arrogant and domineering.”

“How can you be so direct in front of the child? Lady Gu is a proper woman! You’ll not have any snacks today as punishment. Time to go in!” The old scholar had always liked people who understood etiquette. Just now, Gu Qingxue’s every word and action was the proper demeanor, which made him quite satisfied.

“Grandfather, don’t be like this. I was just casually saying.” The young man was the old scholar’s eldest grandson, Zi Dehui. He was greedy for the snacks brought back from Jing City. He looked at Gu Lin and asked for help, “Junior Brother Gu Lin, quickly help me plead for mercy.”

Gu Lin was expressionless. “Senior Brother, disaster comes from the mouth. If Senior Brother dares to say anything bad about my mother in the future, don’t blame me for turning hostile.”

Dehui did not expect Gu Lin to be so sharp at such a young age. He was stunned on the spot.

Gu Lin ignored Dehui. After bowing to the old scholar, he carried the small satchel that Gu Qingxue had given him and walked into the school.

The old scholar looked at Dehui with disappointment and ignored him as he entered the school.

Dehui was ashamed. As the oldest apprentice in the school, he was everyone’s Senior Brother. In addition, his grandfather was an old scholar. Everyone had to respect him.

Gu Lin was the only one who had been at odds with Dehui ever since he was doing odd jobs here.

“You little brat, just you wait.” Dehui clenched his fists and angrily followed him into the school.

On this side, Gu Qingxue rented Li Dali’s carriage and arrived at Qingyuan Town.

The carriage went all the way to An Pharmacy. Gu Qingxue calmly got out of the carriage with the old woman in her arms and walked into the pharmacy.

Ever since Gu Qingxue’s reputation as a female doctor was made known, the business of An Pharmacy had improved a lot. Even if she was not there, there were still many more people who came here to buy medicine than before.

The servant saw Gu Qingxue at a glance and greeted her with a smile, “Lady Gu, you’re back!”

“Is everything okay without me here? I’d like to see Shopkeeper Huang,” Gu Qingxue said.

The servant smiled like a blooming flower, “Everything is fine in the shop. The shopkeeper talks about you every day. Lady Gu, this way please.”
