Chapter 1029: Feelings of Adoration
Grand Tutor Xie’s face turned red. He quickly stood up and walked around the room, waving his hands, "Look, look, I’m really fine now, thanks to the excellent medical skills of the National Lady!"Xiao Xizi smiled and returned to Sicui Palace to report to the emperor.
The emperor could hardly believe it, "Is he really recovered? Walking without any issues? And in such a short time!"
"A few days ago I saw him walking by the lake, leaning heavily on Young Master Xiao Xie, stiff as a board!"
Xiao Xizi nodded, "He’s truly recovered, Grand Tutor Xie was just in a hurry, walking around the room several times without any issues."
The emperor laughed, "He’s really lucky; his attack happened just as the National Lady was present."
"The National Lady saved Grand Tutor Xie, which is another great service to the nation."
Soon it was the end of July, and the mountains had already cooled down. The large group prepared to return to Xiang City.
Unlike the grand display when they arrived, the return journey was much simpler.
They still carried flags, but the band was absent.
Leaving Xiang City for more than two months, everyone was eager to return, quickening their pace.
They reached Xiang City on the third day.
Yun Jiao rested at home for a day, then went back to work at Renxin Hall.
After more than two months away, Zhang Shun saw her and exaggeratedly smiled, "Doctor Gu, you’ve finally returned."
"Every day patients come asking, ’When is Doctor Gu coming back from her summer retreat?’"
"If you hadn’t returned, I think they would have rallied a team to look for you at Dangu Mountain."
Yun Jiao smiled. At this moment, Gu Yuheng came out and, seeing Yun Jiao, was delighted, "You’re finally back, and you look like you’ve gained some weight. I guess the food at the traveling palace was quite good."
To Gu Yuheng, gaining weight was a compliment.
Yun Jiao knew her father well, and although a bit displeased, she still smiled.
"By the way, Xiao Chuan sent a letter yesterday."
"Let me see the letter." Yun Jiao followed her father inside and coincidentally met Ah Tie coming out. She said, "From today, you can start booking patients again, still twenty per day."
Ah Tie agreed.
Yun Jiao followed her father to the backyard, where Aunt Hua found a box containing a stack of letters sent after Gu Chuan left.
Gu Yuheng handed her five or six letters at once, "These are the ones you haven’t read yet. Once you read them, you’ll understand."
Gu Chuan seemed to send letters every half month, sometimes writing to Jiang Youzhi too, but those were about official matters, which Yun Jiao hadn’t read.
She took the letters, checking the dates, and started reading from the first one.
After reading through all the letters, Yun Jiao looked a bit strange, "Dad, I think Xiao Chuan might be getting married soon."
Gu Yuheng was puzzled, "Your Aunt Hua said the same, but I’ve read these letters several times and didn’t see anything like that."
"Although a girl who saved him was mentioned, he never said he wanted to marry her."
Yun Jiao shook her head, "Isn’t it obvious?"
"These letters are filled with Xiao Chuan’s admiration for that girl."
"How extraordinary she is, saving him from fighting villagers over water, how clever and brave she is, helping him stop the villagers’ upheaval."
Yun Jiao pressed her lips and smiled, "I bet in the next letter, he’ll mention her name and where she lives."
Gu Yuheng excitedly rubbed his hands, "If that’s really the case, no matter the girl’s background, we won’t care. Your Aunt Hua and I will go to the southern border to arrange the marriage for him."
