The Grand Secretary's Pampered wife

If it was in the past, if such a noble person came to the village, they would all think they must have come to find the Gu Family, but a while ago, Old Mister Gu suddenly stopped being the Village Chief. Wu shi told people that he was now too old to manage the village, so he took the initiative to resign.

But it was spread all over the village that they had offended people and were dealt with by others.

As for who they had offended, the villagers speculated that it was Xiao Liulang’s family. Xiao Liulang had now become a Linsheng, and his grades were even better than that of Gu Dashun. The county magistrate valued him highly, so it wouldn’t be surprising if the county magistrate actually taught the Gu Family a lesson on his behalf!

Gu Jiao's family was renovating their house recently and had built two new brick rooms, which were just finished this morning. Gu Jiao and the craftsmen were moving in the newly added furniture at the moment.

After moving the last drawer, Gu Jiao felt someone approaching her from behind.

The person gave her a gentle poke on the shoulder.

Having learned from the experience with Yao shi, Gu Jiao was no longer too hasty and suspicious of everything these days. She calmly turned around and saw Gu Yan who was about to poke her again.

Gu Yan, who didn't expect her to turn around so quickly, suddenly froze.

That foolish and helpless appearance looked just like the puppy in the villa.

Gu Jiao chuckled and said, "You’re here?"

Gu Yan smiled back, "En, I came to see you."

Gu Jiao noticed that he was sweating and probably guessed how anxious he was on the way. She pointed to the chair in the main room and said, "Take a seat, I'll pour you a cup of tea."

Gu Yan sat down in the chair.

Gu Jiao went to the kitchen to pour him a bowl of hot tea while he began to look around at the main room. Gu Yan, who lived in brocade garments and jade meals since childhood, had never been to such a shabby house before. Let alone the Marquis Estate, even the woodshed in the villa was much wider than this place.

Gu Yan's initial excitement gradually cooled down, and he felt a great deal of heartache all of a sudden.

His heart was really hurting.

The mysterious connection between twins made him feel sorry for Gu Jiao more deeply than anyone else.

When Gu Jiao came over with a big bowl of hot tea, Gu Yan suddenly hugged her waist and rested his head tightly against her stomach.

He had never been so close to Yao shi since he was three years old.

But at this moment, his heart really hurt.

Gu Jiao was a very observant person whenever she was carrying out a mission, but she was a bit slow on normal days. However, there was such one person in this world whose joys and sorrows could be perceived by her without having to observe him.

This was probably the so-called special connection between twins.

She could feel that he was feeling sorry for her.

Gu Jiao put the bowl of tea on the table and patted his head gently, saying, "I'm fine."

"En." Gu Yan buried his face on her stomach.

Gu Jiao's eyes suddenly shed a tear.

Gu Jiao rubbed it with her index finger oddly, and said to Gu Yan, "Huh? Are you crying?"

"I’m not." Gu Yan choked and denied it.

Gu Jiao patted him on the head and motioned him to look up at the tears on her fingertip, saying, "You just cried, look."

Her eyes also cried with him.

It turned out that twins could also shed each other’s tears.

Gu Yan resolutely refused to admit that he cried. After wiping his tears, he raised his head and looked at her as if nothing had happened, "I'm hungry."

Gu Jiao said, "I'll make you something to eat."

Gu Yan asked, "Can I have a look?"

He was referring to this house.

"Sure." Gu Jiao nodded but thought of something. She said while pointing to Grandaunt's room, "Grandaunt is sleeping, just don’t go to that side."

Thereupon, Gu Yan wandered around Gu Jiao’s residence, but calling it a residence might be a bit far-fetched, since it was just one courtyard at most. Upon entrance was a bright and fairly spacious main room, with each room on both east and west sides, as well as another smaller eastern room which belonged to the elderly woman.

Across the main room was a backyard, to the north was the kitchen and the woodshed, to the east were two newly built rooms, and to the west were a chicken coop and a small vegetable garden of Little Jing Kong.

"This room seems unoccupied." Gu Yan pointed to a room in the east and said.

Gu Jiao, who was then picking vegetables in the small vegetable garden, said, "That's Xiaoshun's room. It was just built. He’s currently in the academy and won’t be back until the tenth-day holiday."

"Is he your brother from that Gu Family?" Gu Yan asked sourly.

Gu Yan had also heard a bit about the Gu Family, and knew that family was no good. Only Gu Xiaoshun among them had an excellent relationship with Gu Jiao.

"En, that's him." Gu Jiao nodded.

"What about that?" Gu Yan pointed to a brand-new henhouse, which was much bigger than the doghouse in his courtyard!

Gu Jiao said, "That's Jing Kong's henhouse. He’s raising a few chicks. He’s attending a primary school right now and won’t come back until evening."

Gu Yan certainly knew the little monk she brought back from the mountain as well.

Gu Yan only felt jealous. Who was her real brother here in the end?

Gu Jiao paused briefly and asked, "Do you... want to live here? If you want, you can stay here. Xiaoshun's room..."

What? Letting him borrow Gu Xiaoshun's room?

Gu Yan was so angry that he snorted and said in disgust, "I don't want to live here!"

Gu Jiao said regretfully, "I see, all right then."

Gu Yan coldly pointed to the room next to Gu Xiaoshun and asked with a terrible expression, "Which brother's room is this?"

"My biological brother." Gu Jiao answered.

"My biological brother? Oh! Wait, what did you say? Bio, biological brother?" Gu Yan pointed uncertainly at himself, "You mean me?"

Just now, was she actually saying that Gu Xiaoshun's room aside, there was also a room for him to live in?

"En." Gu Jiao nodded, "But you don't want to—— "

"I want, I want, I want, I want——"

Gu Jiao couldn’t finish her words as Gu Yan quickly slipped into his own room, slammed the door, and bolted it!

Nobody could get him out of this room!

From now on, he would grow roots here!!!
