The Grand Secretary's Pampered wife

Gu Jinyu and Gu Yan grew up together since childhood. Marquis Gu had already lost count of how many means he tried to get the pair of brother and sister closer, but the two just didn’t get on well together.

In fact, it wasn’t only Gu Jinyu, but other people also found it hard to get along with Gu Yan. That child was covered with thorns, and whoever approached him would be stabbed.

Marquis Gu had never seen a docile appearance from his son before. Right now, his temper was simply nowhere to be seen. Same for that girl who also seemed to be much calmer.

If that girl was like this all the time, she wouldn't seem so annoying.

"Don't do it like that, it's ugly." Gu Yan was talking about the roof made by Gu Jiao.

"But I don't think it's ugly at all." Gu Jiao replied.

This was the final step, they just had to nail the roof and they were done making the doghouse.

Gu Yan looked up at the sky and said, "I don't care! I don't like it!"

"All right." Gu Jiao took apart the roof that she had worked hard to make and made another one.

Second Owner was quite fascinated by this scene. This little girl was easily irritable, and he had never seen her so patient with anyone aside from Xiao Liulang.

Gu Yan's little thought couldn’t be hidden from Marquis Gu.

After they finished making the doghouse, there was no reason for Gu Jiao to stay here any longer, but Gu Yan didn’t want to part with her yet.

Twins were always special. Even if they were doing just the same thing as others, watching twins was more interesting than watching other children.

Perhaps it wasn’t a bad thing to recognize her after all.

But once he did, he was only afraid of Jinyu being wronged.

Marquis Gu was worried that Gu Yan would bully Gu Jinyu even more when the time came.

If the ones to do it were his other sons, Marquis Gu could use a harsh method to stop them. But Gu Yan was born with a disease. If he was unhappy, it could lead to a death on the spot!

Marquis Gu had a headache.

“Lord Marquis.” Huang Zhong came over at this moment.

"What are you doing here?" Marquis Gu had been remaining outside to prevent people in the courtyard from seeing him, and disturbing the two children's play as a result.

Huang Zhong solemnly said, "I heard that the young miss is here. I will protect Lord Marquis from being beaten by the young miss again!"

Marquis Gu gave him a sharp and cold gaze, saying, "Who told you I can't beat her? I just gave way to her last time!"

"Oh." Huang Zhong didn't believe it.

Thinking of something, Marquis Gu asked, "Do you have a silver needle there?"

"Yes!" Huang Zhong took out a box of hidden weapons from his bosom, then questioned, "What does Lord Marquis need a silver needle for?"

Marquis Gu: "This Marquis is going to take a drop of her blood."

Huang Zhong asked again, "What does Lord Marquis want with the young miss' blood? Does Lord Marquis still not believe that the young miss is his own?"

Marquis Gu grumpily replied, "Is it this Marquis who doesn't believe it? It’s clearly her that doesn't believe it!"

Huang Zhong suddenly remembered Marquis Gu's sentence "I am your old man", and managed to say from the corner of his mouth, "Wasn’t it because there’s something wrong with the way Lord Marquis said it..."

Marquis Gu grunted coldly, "Whatever, if she doesn't believe it, this Marquis will come up with evidence to make her believe this time!"

Huang Zhong said, "Then why don’t Lord Marquis just ask the young miss directly?"

Marquis Gu glanced at him and asked, "Do you think she'll give it to me if I ask?"

Huang Zhong: "Er... Not at all. But wouldn't it be too much for Lord Marquis to prick a needle into the young miss?"

"Why don't you do it then?" Marquis Gu looked at Huang Zhong coldly.

"You, you, you... you go ahead and do it." Huang Zhong broke into a cold sweat. He really didn't dare.

Carrying a silver needle, Marquis Gu really walked over to them.

When people in the courtyard saw him, they got up and saluted; even Second Owner and the old physician who were drinking tea in the courtyard stood up.

He waved his hand, indicating that everyone could continue what they were doing, and not make any noise.

He came up to the pair of brother and sister.

As soon as the light dimmed overhead, the two people looked up to take a look and saw him, but neither paid any attention to him and just continued to immerse themselves in making the doghouse.

The neglected Marquis Gu: "..."

Forget it, he was here to get blood anyway. They ignoring him just made it more convenient for him to sneak up on her.

He remained standing on the same spot and waited for an opportunity.

In a moment, the two people lifted their heads again and looked at him with disdain.

Marquis Gu smilingly said, "Is there something you can't do? Let me give you a hand!"

Gu Yan said in a shunning tone, "You are blocking the light."

With a black face, Marquis Gu silently walked around behind the two of them.

Soon he found this position better.

He could casually stick the needle anywhere, and once was enough.

Marquis Gu secretly positioned the needle, finding the right moment.

Gu Jiao was nailing the roof together when she suddenly felt a pair of eyes that couldn’t be ignored landed on her. She turned her little head impatiently and immediately caught Marquis Gu's gaze that was too late to retract.

Marquis Gu was already preparing to poke her with the needle, but he didn't expect Gu Jiao to be so sharp that she almost caught him in the act!

He swished the hand holding the silver needle to his back!

Gu Jiao looked at the wandering hand he had taken back, then shifted her gaze at her own shoulder. She felt that his guilty appearance... was very creepy!

"Don't get in our way here!" Gu Yan noticed Gu Jiao's rejection of Marquis Gu and directly drove people away.

Marquis Gu almost collapsed in anger!

Was he still their father or not? If they weren't his own children, he would have already beaten people up!

Marquis Gu didn’t give up so easily though. If doing it in the open wouldn’t work, he would do it in the dark.

He coughed softly and said, "You people have worked hard all the way. This Marquis has a lot to ask about his son's illness. I believe Miss Gu is also tired, why don't you first go to the wing room and have a rest. Second Owner Hu and Physician Li will come to the study with this Marquis."

Second Owner and the old physician went to Marquis Gu's study while Gu Yan and Gu Jiao went back to the wing room with the little puppy.

It was impossible for Gu Yan to stay with Gu Jiao all the time. Taking advantage of when he was away in the latrine, Marquis Gu also used the excuse of going to the latrine to leave the study.

He quietly put some nerve-calming drug in the tea and found a servant girl to send it to Gu Jiao.

Once she had fallen asleep, taking her blood would be a piece of cake.

He had a good idea, unfortunately, Gu Jiao smelled something wrong at once.

She stopped the servant girl and asked, "Who told you to send this tea?"

The servant girl answered, "It's Lord Marquis."

The glint in Gu Jiao's eyes turned cold.

He was unsuccessful in touching her with those wandering hands earlier so now he was trying to drug her, was that it?

He was old enough to be her father. She didn't expect him to be so perverted to the bones!

Gu Jiao clenched her little fists, making a crackling noise. She slowly came up to the window, pushed it open, and saw Marquis Gu crouching stealthily under the windowsill.

Gu Jiao’s murderous look was like a sharp blade!

From her threatening murderous aura, Marquis Gu sensed that something was amiss. His heart shook at once and he stepped back, saying, "Well, listen to me first, actually I am..."

"Fo. Shan. Shadow. Less. Kick——"

"Ah——"

Bam!

Thump!

Thump, thump, thump!

Bam!

Dong!

Ugh.
