In addition, Gu Jiao also noticed that Zhuang Yuexi was wearing a scarf around her neck.
Gu Jiao's eyes rested on Zhuang Yuexi's neck, making Zhuang Yuexi subconsciously raise her hand over it.
"Big brother is going to see the physician, why do we have to follow big brother here?" Zhuang Mengdie muttered discontentedly.
Although she liked to follow her big brother around, it was based on the premise of traveling and sightseeing.
"Then go to school by yourself, I'll wait for big brother here." Zhuang Yuexi said to Zhuang Mengdie.
An Junwang said to his two sisters, "It’s fine, both of you should go to your class. Don't be late."
Zhuang Yuexi pinched her fingers together, "That... Big brother, will you pick us up in the afternoon?"
An Junwang replied, "I have something to do. The coachman will pick you up."
Zhuang Yuexi looked at Gu Jiao.
She knew it.
Big brother wouldn’t come here just to pick them up.
Zhuang Yuexi went out with a cold face.
Gu Jiao looked at her departing back, revealing a thoughtful look.
An Junwang was done getting his medicine. He had come today to pick it up as well as for reexamination.
Before this, he had come for reexamination several times.
"You don't have to come for reexamination so often." Gu Jiao was only short of saying that it wasn’t a serious illness that couldn’t be cured.
An Junwang said with a smile, "I can see a little now. I put out the candle last night, and I can see a little bit."
A few nights ago, he could only sense the light. Last night, he suddenly saw a faint outline. He was so surprised.
"After a while, you can see more." Gu Jiao began to test his eyesight.
An Junwang stared at the strange drawings across the room and wondered, "What is that? You didn't have this last time I came. "
"An eye chart." She made it herself.
"Is it specially made for me?" An Junwang's eyes lit up.
Gu Jiao said, "We need to test your eyesight to see the specific improvement."
An Junwang was overjoyed, "So you specially made it for me."
Gu Jiao：“…”
An Junwang finished the reexamination, took the new medicine and left in a good mood.
The medical hall was busy and it wasn’t until around the period of wushi(11 am-1 pm) were they able to relax. Gu Yan would have his lunch with her at the medical hall. Gu Jiao went to the medical hall’s kitchen and instructed people to stir-fry two dishes for Gu Yan alone.
Gu Yan couldn’t eat heavy-flavored food. Usually, the family ate light-flavored dishes to accommodate his taste, but the people in the medical hall had to work after all, and they would lose some strength if they didn’t consume some oil and salt.
"Then shall I stir-fry green vegetables and stew a crucian bean curd soup for Young Master Gu?" ask the cook.
"That’s good." Gu Jiao was very satisfied with this arrangement. It should be enough for her and Gu Yan to eat.
Walking out of the kitchen, Gu Jiao didn't go straight back to her small courtyard, but went to the back door of the women's academy through the medical hall’s back door.
At the moment, the women's academy was having their lunch time. The women's academy had their own cafeteria, albeit it wasn’t inside the women's academy. The female students had to go out through the back door and walk across the street to reach it.
The reason being was that the building next door wasn’t sold to them at the beginning, so the place originally intended to be a cafeteria was converted into a music hall.
Then, they rented the restaurant opposite the back entrance to serve as the cafeteria of the academy.
Zhuang Yuexi and Zhuang Mengdie walked towards the cafeteria.
Zhuang Mengdie hung her head dispiritedly, "Ai! It's time for the exam again, so annoying! If we sit next to each other in the exam, let me copy your answers."
Zhuang Yuexi said with contempt, "Our seat is according to our rank. With your pig brain, how can we sit next to each other in the exam?"
Zhuang Mengdie said, steaming, "How could you say that to me? If I'm a pig brain, then what are you? We came out of the same womb! If I’m a pig then so are you!"
Zhuang Yuexi couldn’t be bothered with her. She stepped past her and walked forward.
Zhuang Mengdie wasn’t willing to be outdone and ran ahead of her, "Humph!"
Just as she was a few steps ahead, she thought that she couldn't give up so quickly. What if, for some reason, they really ended up sitting together? It was still necessary to make sure she could copy her answers.
"Let me tell you..."
Zhuang Mengdie turned around, intending to convince her sister once again, but where was Zhuang Yuexi’s shadow on the street where carriages came and went?
"You’re too much! I don't want to be sisters with you either!"
Zhuang Mengdie stamped her foot and walked away in a huff!
In a small alley near the medical hall, Zhuang Yuexi was thrown to the ground by Gu Jiao.
Zhuang Yuexi's body hurt from the fall. She frowned and looked at Gu Jiao, "What are you trying to do?"
Gu Jiao looked at her condescendingly, "It's you, isn't it?"
Zhuang Yuexi's eyes flashed with unknown meaning, "What do you mean it’s me? I don’t understand what you’re talking about at all!"
Zhuang Yuexi coldly stood up while leaning against the wall.
"Is that so?" Gu Jiao indifferently raised her hand and pulled off the scarf from her neck, revealing the newly scabbed wound under the gauze.
The blood from the wound clotted and stuck to the gauze. When Gu Jiao tore the gauze off, the scab was also ripped off and blood came out at once.
Gu Jiao was a physician, and she could see at a glance that this wound was less than twelve hours old.
Zhuang Yuexi took a step back and covered the wound on her neck, looking at Gu Jiao in a panic.
Gu Jiao and Zhuang Yuexi formally had a talk for the first time today, but apparently Zhuang Yuexi had been secretly observing her for a long time, otherwise she wouldn't have found out the area where her family lived.
Gu Jiao wasn’t interested in why she was trying to frame her. She had never offended her, but Zhuang Yuexi repeatedly found trouble for her. Then the problem could only be in Zhuang Yuexi herself.
She stepped forward, her eyes suffused with coldness.
Zhuang Yuexi had never seen such a terrifying pair of eyes; she couldn't help but take several steps back.
However, there was a wall behind her. After a few steps, she couldn’t retreat anymore.
Gu Jiao's slender fingers caressed her slender neck and lingered over her wound. She felt like she could break her neck with a single movement.
Gu Jiao stroked her neck gently.
Zhuang Yuexi, however, felt that she couldn't breathe, as if she was being choked by something.
Gu Jiao blandly said, "Girl, for the sake of having the same surname Zhuang as my Grandaunt, I will spare you once, but only this one time. Don't mess with me again, or you can't afford the price."
Her voice wasn’t loud, but every word she uttered made Zhuang Yuexi feel a great sense of danger.
Having said that, she let go of Zhuang Yuexi and walked away without looking back.
Zhuang Yuexi slumped to the ground weakly, drenched in cold sweat.
It took her a long time to find her voice, and realizing that she had just lost face in front of the other party, she growled, "Your Grandaunt... So what if your Grandaunt's surname is Zhuang... My Grandaunt is the Empress Dowager! The Empress Dowager——"
Gu Jiao ignored her and stepped out of the alley.
