First Lady of the Crown Prince

  Chapter 56 Apology

  The two sides held a stalemate for a long time, and the folks of Huichuntang were all attracted.

  Huichuntang only knows of Gu Jiao's medical skills: Er Dongjia, Wang's shopkeeper, and the old doctor.

  Although Gu Jiao is often seen by other people, they only treat her as a family member of the patient.

  The second boss and shopkeeper Wang treated her very politely, and everyone only regarded her as a student of Tianxiang Academy.

  Don't underestimate any scholar, the future squires, officials, and magistrates are likely to be them.

  I just didn’t expect that she would do such a thing.

   "I can't tell, a person who is usually honest is actually a habit of stealing."

   "Yes, I stole other people's jade pendant, and also stolen other people's jade finger."

   "Let’s just say, she didn’t come here again today, she didn’t have to grab medicine, so why did she still go to Huichuntang? Is she eyeing that daughter? Just chasing in and stealing things!"

   "She is not afraid of jeopardizing her reputation as a friend."

   "Isn't it? It's really unlucky for the scholar to stand such a wicked lady!"

  Everyone present, I'm afraid no one believes that Gu Jiao is innocent except for the second house.

   Isn’t this obvious? She is so poor, how could she have such a good jade pendant?

   "Miss, take the jade pendant away," said the little maid, and hung the jade pendant on the girl's waist.

  Gu Jiao reached for it.

   "Bold!" The little maid's eyes were cold, she raised her hand and slapped Gu Jiao.

  However, before her slap fell on Gu Jiao's face, she was beaten to the ground by Gu Jiao with a backhand.

  Everyone simply didn't know how Gu Jiao made the move. When the reaction came, the little maid was already lying on the ground, her cheeks swollen.

  The girl was also startled.

  Gu Jiao stretched out her little hand that had been scarred by her years of work, opened the girl’s curtain, and pulled down the jade pendant hanging from her waist.

   During the whole process, Gu Jiao held her breath and did not smell the fragrance of her body.

  The girl stared at her with round eyes: "You... presumptuous!"

  A country girl in the country touched her!

  After taking the jade pendant back, Gu Jiao did not rush into her purse, but took a clean veil from her arms and wiped the jade pendant up and down.

  The girl's breathing was stuck.

  This village girl...is she despising her for being dirty?

  If Gu Jiao wants to respond to people, there must be no dead ends in all directions.

  The girl only felt that her chest was blocked all of a sudden, and she almost couldn't get her breath.

  The girl gritted her teeth and said angrily: "Report me to the officer!"

   "Who wants to report to the official?"

   Accompanied by a majestic but cold male voice, Master Dean walked over with a stern look.

  There is another uncomfortable one, and the guys at Huichuntang gave up one after another.

  The dean entered the house and looked at the girl who was so angry that she was smoking. He also looked at the maid who was lying on the ground and couldn't get up for a long time. He looked at Gu Jiao's side as usual.

  You can see his position from where he stands.

  He turned around and looked at the girl without humbleness: "Is this girl going to report to the official? I don't know what happened to make the girl so angry?"

  He was polite, but his tone was not polite.

  The girl frowned and asked: "Who are you?"

Dean   Humanity: "I am the dean of Tianxiang Academy."

  Girl: "Dean Li?"

  Master Dean: "It's right here."

   Dean Li’s name is like thunder in the capital. Of course, it’s impossible for a girl to have never heard of it. Don’t look at Dean Li’s return to the small town as a teacher, but his influence in the capital is still there.

  The girl was quite polite to him, glanced at Gu Jiao, and said, "She has stolen things from our house and she hasn't returned it to me."

   "I didn't steal it, Yu Pei belongs to me." Gu Jiao can no longer care about the girl's opinion, but she cares about the dean's opinion. She is Xiao Liulang's wife, and she doesn't want to leave a stain on the dean's heart.

  "What did you say about Jade Pulling Finger?" the girl asked.

   "I accidentally fell into my cuff, and only found out when I went home." Gu Jiao told the truth.

  The maid said angrily: "You didn't say that just now, you admit that you stole it!"

  Look, this is why Gu Jiao is reluctant to explain to them, because they simply don’t listen well.

   "Let me see the jade pendant." Dean Li said to Gu Jiao.

  Gu Jiao handed Yu Pei to him.

   Dean Li remembered that the teacher also had an identical jade pendant, and also remembered that the teacher once gave Gu Xiaoshun a New Year gift, and he knew what was going on.

  This jade pendant was given by the teacher. As for whether it was given to Gu Jiao himself, or to Gu Xiaoshun, Gu Xiaoshun forwarded it to Gu Jiao, none of these matter.

  The important thing is that Gu Jiao absolutely did not steal.

  The teacher retired, and he didn't want people to know where he was going, so he would naturally not move the teacher out.

  He smiled faintly, and said to the girl: "The girl made a mistake, this jade pendant is not yours, it was given to me by my teacher, and then I gave it to her husband."

  "She...Manimate?" The girl looked up and down Gu Jiao.

   "She Xianggong is my direct disciple." Dean Li unilaterally declared the apprentice's sovereignty.

  In this way, it's all explainable.

   Dean Li’s mentor was the old sacrificial wine of the Imperial College. He was highly regarded by his Majesty before returning to hermit. It is not surprising that he would have palace objects in his hands.

But the girl is still a little unbelievable. How many people in the capital wanted to worship Dean Li as a teacher, but they were rejected by Dean Li. This little village girl is so poor, and she should be married to a poor boy from the countryside. Why did she come into Dean Li’s eyes ?

   Just as the girl was suspicious, a guy from the Rejuvenation Hall ran over breathlessly: "I found it!"

   "Sneez!" Gu Jiao smelled the fragrance of the powder on the jade pendant, and sneezed again.

  The jade pendant was found in the grass, and there was a fragrance on it that was the same as that of a girl. Compared to Gu Jiao's jade pendant, this one was obviously more like hers.

  "Has the truth come to light now?" Gu Jiao asked.

   "Even if you didn't steal the jade pendant, you will always steal the jade finger." The maid whispered.

  "Stop talking, Yuru." The girl stopped her, giving Gu Jiao a complicated expression, stepped forward, leaned forward, and said, "Sorry, I misunderstood the girl."

  "Miss!" The maid was shocked!

  Her young lady is a daughter of a dignified mansion, how can she whisper to a humble little village girl?

   Even if she is wronged, what's wrong with her, can't it be her innocence? Why should I apologize?

  The girl said to the maid: "You also quickly apologize to this girl."

   "But..."

   "Apologize!"

  The girl's tone became severe in an instant, and the maid did not dare to rebelliously apologized to Gu Jiao with her dark face.

  The girl turned her head and said to Erdongjia: "I hope this incident will not affect the treatment of my brother by Huichuntang."

The second owner gave Gu Jiao a calm look. Seeing that she had no objection, he smiled and nodded to the girl: "Where did Miss Gu say? The treatment of the patient."

   "Thank you." The girl nodded, and left with a swollen maid.

   Dean Li looked at her back, and said thoughtfully: "Gu family? Is that Gu family in Beijing?"

  The second owner said with emotion: "Apart from the Gu family in Beijing, who else can raise such a wealthy daughter?"

People can not escape from doing wrong? But being able to admit his mistakes and repent in time, and sincerely apologize to a humble village girl, shows that he is noble and has a good attitude.

What Dean Li didn't say is that the daughter's name is really Gu Jinyu.
