The Grand Secretary's Pampered Wife

Chapter 106.2

Before the young bodyguard could respond, Gu Jiao slammed the door shut!

Young bodyguard again: "..."

Second Owner couldn"t help laughing.

The more you get along with Gu Jiao, the more you would find that she was actually very protective, and there was no bottom line when it came to her protection.

A landscape screen was erected in the room, and two servants were guarding outside the screen.

The servants were not young, their age was similar to that of Gu Changhai and Gu Changlu, but they had a particularly feminine temperament, not like an ordinary male.

When Gu Jiao was about to bypa.s.s the screen, one of the servants stopped her, saying, "Please stay for a moment."

"What are you doing?" Gu Jiao asked.

The servant took a piece of cloth and planned to blindfold Gu Jiao.

Gu Jiao fended off his hand and said flatly, "As a physician, how can I examine a patient if my eyes are blindfolded?"

The servant replied, "You can examine people by feeling the pulse."

Gu Jiao said in a cold voice, "Inspection, auscultation and olfaction, inquiry and palpation are all parts of medical treatment. Do you think I’m some kind of immortal G.o.d who can treat patients by feeling their pulse alone?"

The servant frowned, and was about to open his mouth to reprimand her when the man behind the screen spoke in a hoa.r.s.e voice, "Let her in."

The servant immediately bowed respectfully towards the screen and said, "Understood."

Gu Jiao bypa.s.sed the screen and came to the bed.

The man lay within the draped curtains, showing only a skinny hand.

Gu Jiao first sat down on the stool beside the bed before checking his pulse.

"Whatever the girl wants to see, feel free to look at." As he spoke, he was about to lift the curtain.

Gu Jiao suddenly pressed his wrist and said, "No need, it"s not your face that I want to see."

This kind of big shot, would she still be alive after seeing his face?

Gu Jiao made sure that his face was blocked by the curtain, revealing only the position from below his waist and abdomen.

After the examination, the man"s face was red.

Meanwhile, Gu Jiao looked as calm as tranquil water.

The man cleared his throat and said, "Excuse me, girl, may I know what"s wrong with me?"

Gu Jiao glanced at the screen, and the man understood her meaning. He said, "They are trustworthy people. It"s okay for the girl to say it in their presence."

"Oh." Since the patient didn’t care, then the physician, Gu Jiao, had nothing to worry about.

"It’s venereal disease." Gu Jiao said bluntly.

"Nonsense!" A servant outside the screen rushed over and glared at Gu Jiao angrily, "My Lord..."

But he had barely spoken a word when the man’s strict voice cut him off, "Shut your mouth! Stand down!"

The servant gritted his teeth and retreated behind the screen.

"We offended the girl again and again, I hope the girl doesn’t blame us too much." There wasn’t much panic in the man"s speech and breathing, it could be seen that he was also a person who had experienced great winds and waves.

"You already know that, right?" Gu Jiao asked.

The man nodded sadly.

He had already been examined by a physician before who diagnosed him to be having venereal disease, but he never believed it all this time.

How did he get venereal disease when he never spent time with women outside, especially visiting a brothel?

Gu Jiao didn"t have much interest in the other party"s private affairs. She only gave him some knowledge about how the venereal disease was transmitted. As for how he exactly caught it, he had to figure that out by himself.

Gu Jiao then said, "Your disease has been going on for some time, and it has already reached the second stage. If you don"t get treatment, you will enter the late stage."

The first and second stages of venereal disease were relatively easy to cure. The late stage, although could also be controlled, but all kinds of damage to the body was irreversible.

After a long silence, the man asked in a low voice, "That, can the girl cure me?"

Gu Jiao glanced at him and said, "What am I doing here if I can"t?"

The man was stunned, "You, can you really cure me?"

Gu Jiao put down her back basket, saying, "I"ll try my best, but you"d better let them out first. They get shocked about almost everything, and that will affect my treatment."

The man looked at the screen and said in a low voice, "Do you hear that? Withdraw."

"My Lord!"

"Do you want me to say it again?"

"This humble one dares not."

The two servants were worried but could only go out helplessly.

"Why did you get out?" The young bodyguard asked upon seeing them exit the room.

One of the servants said, "We were asked to go out and we can’t just disobey. She’s just a teenage girl. She doesn’t even have the strength to truss a chicken, you can tell at first glance that she doesn’t know martial arts. She won"t be able to do anything to our Lord... "

His words had yet to completely fall to the ground when the young bodyguard clenched his fists and rushed into the room, but before he could open the door entirely, he was kicked out by Gu Jiao!

The young bodyguard was like a flying sandbag, slamming into a big tree and hanging upside down on the branch.

The young bodyguard spat out a rotten leaf and asked inwardly: Who said she doesn’t even have the strength to truss a chicken?

Gu Jiao bolted the door, then she took out the tools for a penicillin skin testing from the medicine chest and said, "Give me your hand."

The man looked at the strange needle through the curtain and was inexplicably afraid, "What are you going to do?"

Gu Jiao replied, "I"ll give you an injection. If you want to get better, just be obedient."

The man expressed he didn"t want to be obedient.

Gu Jiao said earnestly, "Alas, I’m a physician of this medical hall. All the medical hall’s people are being guarded by your men. Do you think I can still get away with it if I harm you?"

The man thought Gu Jiao"s words were reasonable, but he didn’t actually suspect that Gu Jiao would have ulterior motives in the first place. He was simply afraid!

Gu Jiao decisively grabbed his wrist. She was so good at dealing with disobedient patients that before the man could even have time to react, Gu Jiao was already done with the skin test.

The man looked at the small spot on his wrist and said, "…Hm?"

Penicillin was the best medicine to treat venereal disease. Unfortunately, there was no penicillin in ancient times, so a complete cure was very troublesome, and there were only a few cases of recovery. This was why the man felt hopeless.

However, this disease was really not an incurable disease for Gu Jiao.

The skin test showed that he was not allergic to penicillin.

Gu Jiao walked up to him with another needle in her hand and said, "Bear with it."

When the man saw that this needle was several times larger than before, his hands and feet fluttered with fear!

——As it turned out, no matter how powerful a man was, he could still be afraid of needles.

"Nggh—" The man bit the pillow and endured the most terrible torture so far.

Afterwards, Gu Jiao packed her things and said to him, "Do a good job of isolation and come back in seven days."

……

Meanwhile, after Steward Zhou negotiated with Xiao Liulang, a letter was immediately sent back to the Lin Family in the provincial capital using a pigeon.

When Master Lin learned that Xiao Liulang was willing to teach his son but only if his son went to his academy in person, Master Lin packed his son quickly and sent him over without saying another word.

Then, on a sunny afternoon, the chubby Lin Chengye appeared at the door of Tianxiang Academy.

Lin Chengye had a baby face. Although he was already twenty-one, he looked like only sixteen or seventeen.

Holding a heavy bookbag, he asked nervously and uneasily, "It’s, it’s, it’s here, right?"

He had stuttering problems, and the more nervous he was, the more he stuttered.

Steward Zhou shook his head secretly. Such a smart boy, if only not for his stuttering issues. He wondered if he would be laughed at and excluded after entering the academy.

That’s right, Lin Chengye grew up to this age being taught by a teacher at home, for fear of being laughed at if he entered a school.

But now there was no other choice. Although Lin Chengye had been admitted to Xiucai, he was just a Zengsheng[1]. He still needed to make great efforts to stand out amongst many students.

"It"s indeed here." Steward Zhou earnestly exhorted, "Xiucai Xiao will come out soon. Does the sixth young master still remember what I said?"

"Remember, remember." Lin Chengye nodded, "Less, less talking!"

Steward Zhou nodded with relief, saying, "That’s right, talk less so that no one will find out that the sixth young master stutters."

"En." Lin Chengye lowered his head.

The two people didn"t wait long. Xiao Liulang came out of the private academy of Little Jing Kong and Gu Yan, and behind him was Gu Xiaoshun as well as Feng Lin.

Feng Lin had been eating with them recently.

Steward Zhou stepped forward with a smile and greeted, "Xiucai Xiao!"

His eyes then fell behind Xiao Liulang.

Xiao Liulang introduced, "My younger brother Gu Xiaoshun, my cla.s.smate Feng Lin."

Steward Zhou smiled politely, "Ah, it"s Brother Gu and Brother Feng. Pardon my disrespect."

Feng Lin returned his greetings.

Gu Xiaoshun glanced at him and asked Xiao Liulang, "Brother-in-law, who is he?"

Xiao Liulang answered, "The steward of the Lin Family, surnamed Zhou."
