Gu Chaoyan ceased her steps and looked at Shui Lan.
Shui Lan kneeled down. “Please, Miss. Gu, I did not know why I was asked to serve Young Master all of a sudden.”
“....”
“No matter what happens in the future, I am still the maid!”
“....”
“I won’t disobey you!”
Shui Lan kowtowed and threw a sincere look at Gu Chaoyan.
Gu Chaoyan frowned and looked at this girl in front of her on knees, not realizing what Shui Lan was talking about.
She did not like her actions, but she was the maid of the Lin Mansion and said patiently, “You are the maid of the Lin Family, so as long as you don’t disobey the master and mistress, all will be fine. Alright, get up now.”
Shui Lan let out a sigh of relief.
As long as she did not disobey the master and mistress... so Miss. Gu accepted her now?
Shui Lan thought that it was a nice step she had taken.
Also Gu Chaoyan did not know that her words had caused misunderstanding towards Shui Lan.
As she went back to Jingxin Hut, Gu Chaoyan started to practise Yoga.
Although the medicine with the spring water was making her skinnier and prettier, exercise was very necessary. She had to put more effort to get back her original physical quality.
Gu Chaoyan was just in the middle of exercise, when Qing started to think more about what had happened.
“Miss, I find Shui Lan very weird.” Qing said with confusion. “Also, Miss, she is not the only one. Every maid and servant of the Lin Mansion gives us a weird look. They are also whispering between themselves, for some reason.”
Gu Chaoyan was practising Yoga when she heard what Qing said.
She thought for a while and said, “Maybe it is because of the relations.h.i.+p between the Lin Family and the Gu Family. Remember what the housekeeper said to us when we first came in?”
Qing nodded with a vague understanding.
In the following few days Gu Chaoyan did almost the exact same thing every single day.
She went to do the acupuncture for Lin Jiashu in the morning and left after he finished the medicine. Then she exercised and practised Yoga at Jingxin Hut, where she occasionally read and drank tea.
A long while later some servants from the Lin Family asked Qing what Gu Chaoyan was doing with those strange actions. Qing answered that she was trying to lose the weight, so some servants from the Lin Family started to imitate the moves.
When Gu Chaoyan learned of that she asked Qing to tell them that they could join her in the yard of Jingxin Hut, where she could teach them the right moves.
Therefore, Jingxin Hut was no longer barren.
Every day, Gu Chaoyan and a group of maids were running and practising Yoga, causing quite a bustling atmosphere.
Those maids started to like Gu Chaoyan more and more. They even believed that if Miss. Gu became their mistress, they would be extremely glad.
It was a usual afternoon.
They were just practising Yoga when the housekeeper came rus.h.i.+ng to them and showing an anxious expression on the face. “Miss. Gu, something has happened at Chuyun Pavilion!”
Something had happened?! That was impossible!
Everything was fine with the acupuncture and medicine... Theoretically speaking, Lin Jiashu should have been cured. What was going on?
Gu Chaoyan put down everything she was busy with, and hurried towards Chuyun Pavilion. It was quite lively there at Chuyun Pavilion at this hour.
Without caring about anything more, Gu Chaoyan walked straight into the room.
