Gu Chaoyan frowned and had no idea what Shanhu’s grandma had to say, but she stopped, looked at Shanhu’s grandma and waited for her to speak.

The Village Chief had just been helped up by Xiu Jie and felt very complicated inside, feeling both grateful and unsure of what to say.

However, when Shanhu’s grandma said that she had something to say, the Village Chief was a bit confused. When they left the village, he said that they should only talk about payment, so several aunts from the village were asked to come along. He did not ask Shanhu’s grandma to come, she just wanted to tag along. At first the Village Chief did not think that Shanhu’s grandma was well enough to join them and that it was not proper to come with them, but she insisted on coming. The Village Chief considered that Shanhu’s grandma was experienced enough and Shanhu’s achievements might be good enough for her to have a say about something, so she was asked to come along anyway.

However, Shanhu’s grandma had personal things to discuss with Lady Chaoyan. She was not here to talk about payment.

He had no idea what she was about to say, so he stayed silent.

Shanhu’s grandma, upon seeing that Lady Chaoyan was listening to her, said with a smile, “Lady Chaoyan, Shanhu was helping with some housework and fell accidentally. He has not recovered from the old wound and now he is getting worse. He is now in bed.”

“…”

“The Village Chief said that they were coming to the clinic, so I came along too, hoping that you can check on Shanhu,” Shanhu’s grandma said with a smile.

She had checked Shanhu’s injure the day before.

He had fallen, but it was not that serious or fatal, just a small rip in the original wound. The cream from Xinlin Clinic was very useful, and could help him to get better within a couple of days.

However, when Shanhu’s grandma heard that the Village Chief wanted to come to the clinic… She thought for a while and decided to come along.

She decided to make the story sound worse, so that Lady Chaoyan could go to Shanhu’s place and check on him personally.

In this way, Shanhu could make a deeper impression on Lady Chaoyan, and Shanhu could come to get treated at the clinic again.

By the time he recovered, it would be best if Lady Chaoyan could allow him to stay by the lord and work for him.

She had already learned from the pageboy working for the clinic that Lady Chaoyan was a nice person who liked to hire talented people. She paid the pageboy well and she believed that Shanhu was definitely more capable. If Shanhu could be hired, he would not be working at the clinic. He was going to work by the Lord’s side.

She felt that if he could work for the people from the imperial family, it would be a huge honor.

The Village Chief was a narrow-sighted person, and Shanhu was not the Village Chief’s son, so the Village Chief kept asking Shanhu to find a chance to work for the court, but working for the court was worse than working for the Lord!

If he worked for the court, he would start from the lowest position and it would take years before he achieved something great.

That was not what Shanhu’s grandma wanted.
