The Grand Secretary’s Pampered Wife - Chapter 155-2

Gu Jiao went to find Little Jing Kong’s stuff.

She came back a quarter of an hour later.

The couple watched as Little Jing Kong knocked on the small wooden fish, twisted the small prayer beads in his hand, and recited Buddhist scriptures while sitting on the bed. For a moment, they were speechless.

But that wasn’t the worst part.

While Little Jing Kong was striking the wooden fish, his head started to itch. He raised his hand and grabbed a handful of hair.

He was stunned in an instant, “Master, why do I have long hair? I can’t be a monk like this! Quickly shave my head, wu! I want to shave my head!”

He cried so hard that it was simply impossible to coax him.

Thus, Gu Jiao had to ask Xiao Liulang, his “temporary master”, to bring a razor and shave his hair that he had grown for more than half a year.

The next day, Little Jing Kong woke up with no recollection of what he did last night.

He didn’t even realize that his hair was gone.

Gu Yan didn’t need an injection yesterday and was quite smug about it. Today, however, he could no longer be proud.

His current state was even weaker compared to Little Jing Kong, and it was also accompanied by an irrepressible cough, causing him to vomit out all the medicine he had taken.

Only now when all three children fell ill at the same time did Gu Jiao finally realize what it was like to be overwhelmed.

“It itches so much!”

Little Jing Kong exclaimed again.

Gu Jiao walked into the room and said, “Don’t scratch, scratching will leave scars.”

Little Jing Kong was mad, “But I can’t stand it!”

Gu Jiao could only apply some cool ointment on his body to relieve the itching.

……

Gu Changqing hadn’t passed by the Imperial Academy for several days. Ever since knowing the identity of Gu Jiao and Gu Yan, he deliberately avoided this route, preferring to take the long road instead.

But today, out of nowhere, he came this way for some unknown reason.

The hoofbeats of the horse were so quiet that it didn’t alarm anyone.

He told himself that he was just passing by, just like any other time before.

He tugged at the reins, passing by the gate of Gu Jiao’s house with an expressionless face, but he suddenly heard a low cough.

The look in his eyes changed slightly and he subconsciously tightened the reins.

The horse wasn’t going fast, so it immediately halted after a gentle pull of the reins.

The cough was rapid and sounded painful, so that his brows couldn’t help but frown.

He hesitated for a moment and finally dismounted the horse.

He walked to the front of the gate, and as he was about to raise his hand to knock, he suddenly felt that it was inappropriate.

How could the grievances of more than ten years be written off by just once or twice of intersection? They should be the most familiar strangers.

He turned around to leave, but just then, the gate creaked open.

It was Little Jing Kong who opened the gate.

Little Jing Kong’s condition was much better today, except that his body itched so badly, but JiaoJiao just wouldn’t let him scratch it. Therefore, he planned to escape outside and scratch his body.

As a result, he was caught by his big brother.

Little Jing Kong put his little hands behind his back with a guilty conscience.

He wore a tiger hat, so Gu Changqing failed to discover his little bald head for the time being.

Gu Changqing looked at him suspiciously and asked, “Where are you going?”

“I…” Little Jing Kong’s eyes darted everywhere, “Came out to get some fresh air?”

Gu Changqing’s eyes rested on the rashes on his face and said, “You can still come out to get some air when you have pox disease? Does your sister know?”

Little Jing Kong covered his face with his hands.

Gu Changqing had no doubt that if he just left like this, the little one would run out immediately.

That’s it.

He had to escort him back to her.

It wasn’t because she was his sister, it was simply because of his duty as a soldier.

Gu Changqing took Little Jing Kong by the hand and led him into the yard.

Gu Jiao was cooking in the kitchen.

“He was going to run out.” Gu Changqing took Little Jing Kong into the kitchen and said.

Little Jing Kong, who tells on people all year round, was finally able to experience it himself.

It sure had a price for coming out without much thought.

Little Jing Kong drooped his little head guiltily.

Gu Jiao glanced at Little Jing Kong and then at Gu Changqing. She looked very calm as she said, “Thank you.”

After that, there was only silence.

None of the three people in the room spoke.

Little Jing Kong remained silent due to his guilty conscience. As for the two adults, it was unknown why they were also staying quiet.

“Who is coughing?” Gu Changqing heard the coughing again and opened his mouth to ask.

“It’s Gu Yan.” Gu Jiao answered and added, “He also has pox disease.”

Pox disease wasn’t a minor illness, not to mention Gu Yan also had a heart disease. Gu Changqing’s eyebrows furrowed, his mouth opened, wanting to say something, but he felt that he had no position here to speak.

“Have you ever had this disease before?” Gu Jiao asked.

“Yes.” Gu Changqing replied.

Gu Jiao looked at Little Jing kong and instructed, “Jing Kong, take your big brother to see big brother Yan.”

Great, now he had to face a harder situation!

Little Jing Kong grabbed Gu Changqing’s hand and took him to Gu Yan’s room.

Gu Yan didn’t drink the medicine properly; the moment he took a sip, he spit it out again all over his body.

Xiao Liulang had never tended to such a big younger brother like this before, and to be honest, he was a little inexperienced.

Moreover, Gu Yan wasn’t as durable as Little Jing Kong, so you couldn’t just take care of him casually. Xiao Liulang was worried that just a bit of carelessness might cause Gu Yan to lose his life…

“Give it to me.”

Gu Changqing suddenly spoke at the door.

Xiao Liulang looked back and gave Gu Changqing a watchful look. But when he saw Little Jing Kong holding his hand, the vigilance in his eyes dissipated.

Little Jing Kong said, “JiaoJiao asked me to bring big brother here!”

After hearing what Little Jing Kong said, Xiao Liulang had nothing to hesitate about even more. He stood up and walked out of the room on a crutch with Little Jing Kong.

Gu Changqing glanced back at Xiao Liulang.

He had never seen Xiao Liulang before but he thought he looked familiar.

In addition, the vigilance shown by the other party wasn’t like that of a simple scholar.

What kind of man did this sister of his marry?

No, she wasn’t his sister!
