The Challenge of a Farmhouse Son-in-Law-Chapter 960 - 954 Recognized

Thankfully, or Xiang Chun’s remark might have stirred up a hornet’s nest.

The little maid’s face turned white and then red as she huffed, "Your miss will surely end up an unmarried spinster."

"Hey, what did you say? I’ll tear your mouth apart!" Xiang Chun threatened to hit her, raising her voice quite a bit, which drew the attention of everyone else.

Gu Youyou quickly called Xiang Chun back.

"Xiang Chun, come here."

Only then did Xiang Chun, still huffing, spare the little maid and asked, "What other instructions do you have, cousin miss?"

Gu Youyou said, "Let’s tidy up our things. We’re living together in tight quarters; leaving a pile here takes up space."

There, the little maid muttered Xiang Chun’s words to her own miss, who, after glimpsing at Gu Youyou, said thoughtfully, "You must be Doctor Gu."

Gu Youyou nodded lightly and said, "You must be Miss Zhang."

She seemed even more surprised and asked, "How did Doctor Gu recognize me?"

Gu Youyou motioned for her to look at the handkerchief.

Sure enough, she held in her hand an exquisitely embroidered handkerchief with the delicate character "Zhang" stitched onto it.

Miss Zhang broke into a smile and said, "Doctor Gu is truly meticulous."

Although the people here might not all have met Gu Youyou, the name of Doctor Gu from Jisheng Hall was well-known; once mentioned, everyone knew of her.

Under normal circumstances, they might have swarmed her to make connections, but in this situation, as competitors, they thought better of it.

They whispered among themselves instead.

"Who would have expected Doctor Gu to come here as well."

"Yes, I heard that Doctor Gu is in her twenties and still without a husband’s family. I thought that someone like Doctor Gu, who dedicates her life to medicine, wouldn’t marry. I didn’t expect she had such hopes."

In the face of these comments, Gu Youyou just smiled.

When Princess Jin Liuying heard that Gu Youyou had come to the palace, she rushed over that very day.

"Master, master, are you going to be my sister-in-law?" The ten-year-old princess still had a child’s mentality.

Gu Youyou didn’t answer her question; any response would have attracted harsh reactions. She was already conspicuous enough as an older girl among others; there was no need to stand out more.

She bent down to gently tap the princess’s nose, saying with a smile, "Your Highness, what are you doing here? Come, let your master see if you’ve grown taller."

Gu Youyou hadn’t seen Princess Jin Liuying for quite some time. Pulling her in front for comparison, then raising her hand to mark the height, she said, "You’ve grown this much."

In another year or two, she would enter the golden period of a girl’s springtime growth, innocent and vivacious just for a year or two more.

"Really? Have I grown that much? I can’t tell," said the princess in delight.

Gu Youyou replied, "After you return to Liuying Hall, mark your current height on the wall. After some time, compare it again and you will know."

At that moment, her palace maiden rushed over, relieved to find Jin Liuying safe and sound.

"Princess, why have you run off here? You gave your servant quite a scare."

Jin Liuying put away her smile and said to Gu Youyou, "Master, I must go back now. I’ll come see you when I have time. If you need anything, send someone to find me."

"Alright, go on!" Gu Youyou said with a light smile.

The roommates, having seen the princess come to find Gu Youyou and even calling her master, were all filled with envy.
