56 Apology

The two sides were in a stalemate for a while, and all the guys from Huichuntang were attracted.

Huichuntang only knows Gu Jiao's medical skills: the second boss, the shopkeeper Wang, and the old doctor.

Although the rest of the people often come over, they only think that she is the patient's family.

The second boss and the shopkeeper Wang were very polite to her, and everyone only thought that her husband was a student of Tianxiang Academy.

Don't underestimate any scholar, the future gentry, official, and local officials are likely to be them.

I just didn't expect her to do such a thing.

"I can't tell that the honest man is actually a habitual stealing person."

"Yes, I stole someone's jade pendant and my jade ring."

"I just said that her husband didn't come today, and she didn't need to get medicine. Why did she go to Huichuntang? She was targeting that daughter? She just chased her in and stole things!"

"She is not afraid of implicating her husband's reputation."

"Isn't it? It's really unlucky for a scholar to have such a bad woman on his feet!"

Everyone present is afraid that no one except the second boss believes that Gu Jiao is innocent.

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

"Miss, please put away the jade pendant." The little maid said, bowing and hanging the jade pendant on the girl's waist.

Gu Jiao reached out to get it.

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

However, before her slap fell on Gu Jiao's face, she was knocked down by Gu Jiao's backhand.

Everyone didn't know how Gu Jiao took action. When she realized that she was already lying on the ground, her cheeks were swollen.

The girl was also stunned.

Gu Jiao stretched out her little hand, which was scarred due to years of work, picked up the girl's curtain fence, and pulled down the jade pendant hanging around her waist.

During the whole process, Gu Jiao held her breath and didn't smell the fragrance of her body.

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

A country girl actually touched her with her hands!

After taking the jade pendant back, Gu Jiao did not rush to put it in her purse, but took out a clean handkerchief from her arms and wiped the jade pendant up and down.

The girl's breathing was stopped.

Is this village girl... disliked her dirty?

If Gu Jiao wants to be disgusting, she must be in all directions without blind spots.

The girl felt that her chest was blocked all of a sudden, and she was almost unable to get angry.

The girl gritted her teeth and shouted angrily: "Report to me!"

"Who wants to report to the official?"

Accompanied by a majestic but cold voice, the dean walked over with a stern expression.

Another thing that was not easy to mess with was coming, and the guys from Huichuntang gave in one way.

The dean entered the house and looked at the girl who was so angry that she was smoking. Then, the maid who was lying on the ground and couldn't get up for a long time. She came to Gu Jiao with a normal expression.

His position can be seen from where he stands.

He turned around and looked at the girl with neither humility nor arrogant attitude: "Is this girl going to report to the official? I don't know what happened, which made the girl so angry?"

He said politely, but his tone was not.

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

The dean said, "I am the dean of Tianxiang Academy."

Girl: "Director Li?"

Lord Dean: "It's right here."

Dean Li's name is well-known in the capital. Of course, it is impossible for the girl to have never heard of it. Although Dean Li retired to the town and became a teacher, his influence in the capital is still there.

The girl was quite polite to him, looked at Gu Jiao and said, "She stole the things from our house, and won't she return them to me."

"I didn't steal, the jade pendant is mine." Gu Jiao could no longer ignore the girl's opinion, but she cared about the dean's opinion. She was Xiao Liulang's wife, and she did not want to leave any stains in the dean's heart.

"What do you say about Jade Ring?" asked the girl.

"I accidentally fell into my sleeve, and I found out when I got home." Gu Jiao told the truth.

The maid said angrily: "That's not what you said just now. You admit that you stole it!"

Look, this is why Gu Jiao is unwilling to explain to them, because they don’t listen carefully at all.

"Show me the jade pendant." President Li said to Gu Jiao.

Gu Jiao handed him the jade pendant.

Dean Li remembered that the teacher also had the same jade pendant, and also remembered that the teacher had given Gu Xiaoshun the 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 Gu Xiaoshun, and Gu Xiaoshun gave it to Gu Jiao again, it was not important.

What’s important is that Gu Jiao absolutely did not steal.

When the teacher retired and did not want people to know where he was, he naturally would not move the teacher out.

He smiled faintly and said to the girl: "Miss is wrong. This jade pendant is not yours, it was given to me by my teacher, and then I gave it to her husband."

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

"Her husband is my personal disciple." President Li unilaterally declared the sovereignty of his disciples.

That's all, it's understandable.

President Li’s mentor was an old priest from the Imperial College. Before he retired, he was highly valued by His Majesty. It was not surprising that he would have court items in his hands.

But the girl was still a little incredible. How many people in the capital want to take President Li as their teacher, but they were rejected by President Li. This small village girl is so poor and she should be married as a poor country boy. Why did she catch the eyes of President Li?

Just as the girl was suspicious, a guy from Huichuntang ran over panting and said, "I found it!"

"Ah snee!" Gu Jiao smelled the aroma of the powder on the jade pendant and couldn't help but sneeze.

The jade pendant was found in the grass, and there was also a fragrance that was exactly the same as the girl's body. Compared to Gu Jiao's jade pendant, this part was obviously more like hers.

"Is the truth revealed now?" Gu Jiao asked.

"Even if you didn't steal the jade pendant, you would always steal the jade ring." The maid murmured in a low voice.

"Stop talking, Yuru." The girl stopped her, looked at Gu Jiao with a complicated expression, stepped forward, owed her body, and said, "I'm sorry, I misunderstood the girl."

"Miss!" The maid was shocked!

Her young lady is the daughter of a dignified marquis’s mansion. How could she be humble to a humble village girl?

Even if she is wronged, isn’t it just that she is innocent? Why do you need to apologize?

The girl said to the maid: "You should apologize to this girl as well."

"But……"

"Apologize!"

The girl's tone became stern in an instant. The maid did not dare to disobey and apologized to Gu Jiao with a dark face.

The girl turned to the second home and said, "I hope this incident will not affect Huichuntang's treatment of my brother."

The second boss looked at Gu Jiao quietly. Seeing that she did not object, he nodded to the girl with a smile: "What did Miss Gu say? We will help the world with the help of the people with a good hand and kind heart. We will not delay the treatment of the patient because of private matters."

"Thank you." The girl nodded and left with the maid with a bruised nose and swollen face.

President Li looked at her back and thoughtfully said, "The Gu family? Is the Gu family in the capital?"

The second boss sighed: "Besides the Gu family in the capital, who else can raise such a daughter who is Huai Jin and Ruyu?"

Who can do without mistakes in a sage? But being able to admit mistakes and repent in time and apologize sincerely to a humble village girl, which shows that her character is noble and Huai Jin is holding Yu.
