The Grand Secretary’s Pampered Wife Chapter 46

Chapter 46

Two guards were stationed under the archway and one could easily tell that they were not like those guards of the big families in town. They were brawny with sharp gazes, and with pikes in hand, their heroic figures stood tall and straight. Obviously, they were well-trained and well-regulated.
Because the post was delivered many days in advance, Second Owner’s name was impressively recorded in the guest book, so the guards let them in.
He pointed to the old physician and Gu Jiao, saying, "This is the physician of our Rejuvenation Hall and his medicine girl."
Although it wasn’t common for girls to be medicine children, there were still some cases of it.
The guards didn't say anything about their identities, but they were rather suspicious of Gu Jiao's back basket.
"What's in there?" One guard asked.
Gu Jiao showed him the back basket directly.
The guard checked its contents and found that there were only some wild mountain goods and a small tattered box inside. He then returned the back basket to Gu Jiao.
"Go straight along this road and pass through the first pavilion, someone will then receive you." The guard pointed the way to the three of them.
Second Owner thanked him and then walked towards the pavilion with Gu Jiao and the old physician.
They had just walked a few steps when another carriage arrived outside of the archway. Second Owner only thought that it was people from the villa, so he didn’t pay it any mind. However, before he could go far, who knew he would be stopped by a rather energetic voice, "Is that you eldest master?"
Second Owner halted his footstep and turned around in surprise, only to see a fat man about the age of Shopkeeper Wang striding towards him.
Behind the man were a physician in his fifties and a medicine boy carrying a medicine box on his back.
Second Owner’s face sank at once.
The man didn't seem to see the disgusted look on his face as he continued to walk forward with a smile and cupped his hands in greetings, "Eldest master, what a coincidence. Does the eldest master know that I would bring someone to treat the young master, so you specially waited for me here? But who are these two?"
"Physician of Rejuvenation Hall." Second Owner said dully.
Both of them. However, Second Owner didn't elaborate, and the man naturally thought he was only talking about the old physician, and that the ugly girl with the birthmark on her face was just a little medicine girl.
"Who is he?" Gu Jiao asked Second Owner.
Second Owner glanced at the man coldly and said, "Hu Family’s steward, as well as the shopkeeper of the capital’s Rejuvenation Hall."
"My surname is He." Steward He smilingly said to Gu Jiao.
Gu Jiao glanced at him sideways, “The same He in hehua(lotus)? The white type?” [T/N: For those who still don't know, white lotus is used to describe people, especially women, who are pure in appearance but malicious inside.]
Steward He: "..." I somehow feel she’s speaking ill of me.
"Let's go." Second Owner was too lazy to continue talking with him.
However, Steward He stopped him again, and this time, his tone carried a trace of ridicule, "It turns out that eldest master came to treat the young master too. I just wonder if His Lordship and Chief Owner know about this?"
Naturally… They didn’t know. If he had told the family about this, that old father of his would have been the first to disagree.
Second Owner clenched his fists and the expression on his face turned very unsightly.
At this moment, Gu Jiao said, "His Lordship? Chief Owner? Who are they?"
Second Owner took a deep breath and replied, "His Lordship is my father, and the Chief Owner... is my younger brother."
Gu Jiao was puzzled, "How come your younger brother is the Chief Owner? And you’re only the Second Owner? Are you a concubine born?"
No.
He was the son of the first wife.
He was the real Di eldest son of the Hu Family.
However, his own mother passed away early, and shortly afterwards, his father married a second wife. It didn’t take long before his stepmother gave birth to a younger brother who was smarter than him. And because of that, his younger brother was more pleasing to his father’s eye.
His old man gradually forgot that he still had such an eldest son. He threw him to the Rejuvenation Hall in a remote town on the grounds of his mediocrity and incompetence. All of the Hu Family's inheritance was almost handed over to his younger brother.
His status as the Second Owner, in fact, was just good in name.
Shopkeeper He was just a shopkeeper, but because he was the Chief Owner’s subordinate, even a person like him didn’t put Second Owner, the same master from the Hu Family, in his eyes. He said, "The young master of the Marquis Ding’an Estate isn’t just some commoner in town. If you’re put to death, then so be it, but don't get ahead of yourself and implicate the entire Hu Family!"
Gu Jiao looked at him and said impatiently, "Crowing so much like this, are you a rooster?"
Steward He choked up.
Immediately after that, Gu Jiao’s group of three left.
When they walked through the pavilion, they did meet a few servants of the villa.
These servant’s clothes were actually more nice-looking than those of the masters of the big families in town. They looked good both in appearance and demeanor. Although the way they treat people wasn’t as simple as that of the Dean's servant, they all strictly followed the rules, so that people could not nitpick any mistakes.
Just as Gu Jiao’s group of three were led away by a young servant boy, Shopkeeper He’s group arrived.
"It's Rejuvenation Hall again? How many people from Rejuvenation Hall have come?” Shopkeeper He was received by a rather sharp-tongued servant girl.
Don't look at the fact that Shopkeeper He had the Hu Family and Rejuvenation Hall behind him. In fact, he didn't dare to be pretentious with any of the little servant girls in the Marquis Estate.
Shopkeeper He smiled politely and said, "Girl, please take a closer look at this token. I am the one from the Rejuvenation Hall in the capital. Those people are from the Rejuvenation Hall in Qingquan Town. They have nothing to do with the Rejuvenation Hall in the capital and the Hu Family! If something bad happens later, I hope the girl will not blame our Rejuvenation Hall together with them."
"Both are Rejuvenation Halls, isn’t it all the same?" The servant girl asked.
"It’s different, different." Shopkeeper He smilingly replied.
The servant girl thought for a while and said, "Then, your medical halls just happen to have the same name?"
"Uh… You can say that’s the case." Shopkeeper He couldn't find a more appropriate explanation for a moment.
The servant girl nodded, "I see, our Marquis Estate will not incriminate innocent people."
Shopkeeper He breathed a sigh of relief. That mediocre master of his couldn’t possibly hire a formidable physician at all, otherwise he wouldn’t have borrowed Physician Zhang from the capital’s Rejuvenation Hall for treating patients. This time, he would probably get into big trouble.
Fortunately, he was clever enough to get rid of the relationship between him and that master in time.
Steward He’s group walked so fast that they actually arrived at the same time as Gu Jiao’s group of three. [T/N: It’s the author that keeps altering between Shopkeeper and Steward, not me. XD]
The servant girl who was leading Shopkeeper He and his group opened the curtain and entered the main hall. She whispered to the Head Nursemaid inside, “Those three belong to the capital’s Rejuvenation Hall, and these three are from the town.”
Her meaning, it seemed that Gu Jiao’s group wanted to mooch off of the other group’s reputation.
The Head Nursemaid had seen a lot of this kind of situation, but since people were already here, there was no reason to kick people out without letting their physician have a look. She said, "Let those three come first."
"Understood." The servant girl responded.
The servant girl invited Shopkeeper He’s group in.
The young master had been ill for so many years, during which they had invited numerous physicians, but every physician was given a gag order after they conducted their examination. Therefore, it wasn’t known what illness the young master had and how sick he was in the end.
This time, Shopkeeper He brought a godly physician who was known as Hua Tuo’s reincarnation of Jiangnan. He especially excelled at difficult and complicated diseases and illnesses. Before coming, both of them were full of confidence. However, after only one glance, the so-called godly physician went stupid.
"What's wrong, Physician Liao?" Shopkeeper He asked.
Godly Physician Liao didn’t respond to Shopkeeper He, but instead turned to ask the servant girl in the room, "How long has the young master been in a coma?"
"It has been ten days." The servant girl answered.
Godly Physician Liao’s face turned white.
He braced himself to take the young master’s pulse, and as a result, he staggered to his feet.
"Forgive this surnamed Liao for his lacking medical skills, simply unable to treat the young master. Your estate... may better find someone more qualified!"
What he really wanted to say was that your young master was suffering from a heart disease, and this kind of disease didn’t have any cure. He had already been in a coma for ten days, even the Daoist immortal of Da Luo wouldn’t be able to save him, so just hurry up and prepare for the funeral!

Everyone But Me Is Reborn
Her father is a coward and senselessly filial. Her mother is weak and gullible. Her elder brother is a wastrel.
When she married into the Wangfu, she suffered and was coldly treated. And by the time she was in labour, she was fated to die with the unborn child in her belly.
This was supposed to be Ning Nuan's life.
However this time, everyone but her is reborn.
Ning Nuan is at a loss. She felt that her dad has suddenly become the pillar of the family, her mother’s temper became fierce, and even her elder brother, who would only walk the dogs and play with birds all day, has begun picking up books and reading them carefully.
There is also that juvenile that shows up at the wall of her courtyard everyday, calling her “Ah Nuan, Ah Nuan” with an honest face.
