Chapter 249: 145 Domineering! (Second Update)_2

On the first day of the Medical Hall’s opening, all patients enjoyed free consultations, herbs were offered at a 20% discount, tonics at a 50% discount, and a secret recipe of Longan Red Date Tea was given out for free.

This tea was made from premium dried red dates and longan meat, with goji berries added. It could replenish vitality, nourish blood, beautify skin, and most importantly, it was generously sweetened and tasted great!

An elderly lady sat by the stove, slurping bowl after bowl!

There were not many customers yet half of the soup had already been consumed.

The female school was also starting today.

Gu Jinyu woke up very early. When she went to greet her parents all dressed up, she saw that the Marquis and Mrs. Yao were also well-dressed, as if they had somewhere to go.

Gu Jinyu was slightly taken aback, “Father, mother, are you…”

The Marquis smiled and said, “Isn’t today the first day of the new term?”

Upon hearing this, Gu Jinyu understood, “Father, mother… are you sending me to school?”

Lately, the relationship between her parents seemed strained. Mother seemed to have become a different person, squabbling with Aunt Ling in the house, which culminated in less attention paid to her.

Uncontrollably, joy radiated from her face, “Father, mother, you’re so nice!”

The Marquis affectionately patted his daughter’s hand, “Well, it’s almost time to leave. Don’t be late!”

If they were late, they wouldn’t see that damn girl’s glorious entrance into the school!

He definitely wanted his wife to see the effort he was making for that girl!

“Hurry, hurry, my lady!”

If they’re late, the surprise would be gone!

Since last night, he had been hinting to Mrs. Yao about a surprise. She didn’t know this surprise was to usher Jin Yu into school.

All the way there, Mrs. Yao’s mood wasn’t very high.

As a mother, she should have been excited about Jin Yu’s entry into the school, but for some reason, she just wasn’t.

Gu Jinyu noticed her mother’s mood but given her recent disputes with Aunt Ling, her mother often looked this somber, so she didn’t dwell much.

The carriage arrived at the women’s school in no time.

The Marquis had already visualised the touching scene when his wife saw that girl!

Mrs. Yao excitedly held her daughter’s hand, “Jiaojiao, why are you here?”

Jiaojiao softly replied, “I came to study.”

Mrs. Yao was stunned, “Are… Are you also enrolling in the women’s school? How did you get in? Did you pass the exam by yourself?”

Jiaojiao shyly lowered her head, “How could I? I was raised in the countryside, I can’t read a single word. It’s all thanks to father, who went through so much trouble to get me an admission ticket. Father is so nice to me! Mother, don’t be angry at father anymore!”

Mrs. Yao looked at him guiltily, took his hand, “Mr. Marquis, I was wrong to blame you before. You are the world’s most loving father! I shouldn’t have made you kneel and wash clothes, let’s make amends, come to my room tonight.”

“Ha ha ha, ha ha ha, ha ha ha ha ha ha ha…”

The Marquis was lost in these thoughts, laughing like an idiot on the carriage.

Both Mrs. Yao and Gu Jinyu looked at him with surprise and fright.

That was until Mrs. Yao pulled aside the carriage curtain and saw Gu Jiao.

“Jiaojiao!”

Mrs. Yao lifted the curtain, swiftly got off the carriage, and walked excitedly towards her daughter, holding her hand.

The Marquis snapped back to reality in a second.

The moment that he had been waiting for had finally come!

He was about to clear his name, correct his wrongs, and stand at the peak of his life!

Gu Jinyu’s face dimmed, her mother had been listless since early morning, and she thought she was tired. But on seeing her biological daughter, her face lit up.

She was supposed to be the star of the day!

“Jiaojiao, why are you here?” Mrs. Yao asked.

The Marquis thought: Come on, say it! I’ve come to study!

Gu Jiao said, “I’m here to work.”

The Marquis: “…?!”

Mrs. Yao also didn’t understand why her daughter would come here to work.

Gu Jiao pointed to the Medical Hall behind her, saying, “The Medical Hall is opening today.”

Mrs. Yao was unaware that her daughter had partnered with the second landlord to open the Medical Hall, neither did the Marquis.

When he sent Huang Zhong to Bishui Alley to find Gu Jiao, she was not at the Courtyard. The old lady said Gu Jiao had gone to the Medical Hall next to the women’s school.

After Huang Zhong reported this to the Marquis, he thought she had gone to work as a medicine girl again.

The Marquis was furious. Wasn’t it nicer to be a student?

The Marquis didn’t want to be a bad father in front of Mrs. Yao, but he couldn’t control his temper, “What were you thinking? Why didn’t you attend school? Didn’t you promise me? I gave you the admission ticket and the money. Is this what you give me in return?”
