Chapter 335: Chapter 313, Bluff_1

Daohua returned to Taohua Temple and found the courtyard to be serene, with the sound of cooking coming from the kitchen. She went over to take a look and saw her grandmother preparing soup.

Lady Yan hurriedly waved Daohua over when she saw her, “You’re back just in time. Quickly, take this rock sugar, honey, and snow pear soup to Granny Gu.”

Daohua was startled, “Is Granny Gu coughing again?”

Lady Yan stretched her neck to look towards the main house and whispered, “Just now, your master said something to Granny Gu, and from what I could tell, it seemed like he upset her.”

“I’ll go have a look.” Daohua quickly ladled a bowl of the snow pear soup and then turned to head for Granny Gu’s room.

“Take it easy, don’t burn your hands,” Lady Yan called out loudly.

Inside the room, Granny Gu’s emotions had stabilized, and she had closed her eyes to sleep by the time Daohua entered.

Gu Jian made a gesture for silence, then gestured for Daohua to follow him outside.

Once outside, Daohua asked anxiously, “Master, hasn’t it been a long time since Granny has had a cough? What’s happened today?”

Gu Jian glanced at his disciple and shook his head, “It’s nothing now.”

Daohua looked at her master’s expression and tentatively asked, “Is it because of Xiao Yeyang?”

Gu Jian looked at his disciple again but remained silent.

Daohua fell silent for a while, set the bowl of soup on the table, thought for a moment, and then decided to speak up, “Master, tell me the truth, do you and Granny Gu have some kind of grievance with Prince An Jing?”

Gu Jian sighed inwardly, having a clever disciple was a blessing, but such cleverness could also be exhausting. He sat down on a chair before replying gruffly, “So what if there is? What if there isn’t?”

Daohua quickly sat opposite him, “So there really is something?” She narrowed her eyes and began to analyze, “You wouldn’t give Xiao Yeyang the precious swordsmanship techniques if he were your enemy.”

“You and Granny Gu were shocked and excited the first time you saw Xiao Yeyang, and you kept asking Prince An Jing about him. I guess that you must know Prince An Jing.”

“But this time when Xiao Yeyang came over, you weren’t too friendly towards him, so even if there’s no enmity, I guess there isn’t any particular favor either…”

Having said this, Daohua paused.

It wasn’t that she didn’t want to continue speculating, but she knew too little about Imperial family affairs to guess further.

If Granny Gu were twenty or thirty years younger, Daohua would have speculated whether she could be Xiao Yeyang’s mother or something.

But Granny Gu was even older than her own grandmother and could be Prince An Jing’s mother. What was she to make of that?

Seeing her cheap master looking at her expressionlessly, with a ‘go on, keep talking’ look, Daohua gave an embarrassed smile and then forged ahead despite her hesitation.

“But then, you had Xiao Yeyang personally repair your roads, so I’m thinking, does Prince An Jing owe you and Granny Gu something?”

“What could he owe? Being a Prince, he has money if he needs money, power if he needs power; it should be easy for him to repay any favor.”

Hearing this, Gu Jian’s heart skipped a beat. Seeing Daohua’s eyes spinning around, he quickly interrupted her, “If you’re so bored you’re delirious, go memorize the ‘Herbal Compendium’ for me. Why waste time on such pointless thoughts?”

Daohua said earnestly, “Master, this matter is very important to me. You are my master, which practically makes Granny Gu my elder, and Xiao Yeyang, he’s my friend. I must understand the grievances between you all to know how to respond.”

Gu Jian was at a loss for words, “What kind of response are you planning to make?”

Daohua replied, “For instance, if Prince An Jing really does owe you, then I definitely can’t let Xiao Yeyang keep coming here and bothering you.”

“And for another, if there’s some kind of misunderstanding between you, then I could try to help you resolve it.”

Gu Jian felt helpless. He knew that without a reasonable explanation, this girl would relentlessly pursue the matter. He said abruptly, “There’s no misunderstanding, and Prince An Jing doesn’t owe us anything.”

Daohua looked skeptical, “That doesn’t seem right. I saw that Granny Gu is actually quite nice to Xiao Yeyang.”

Gu Jian took a deep breath, “That’s because she mistook him for her grandson.”

At this, Daohua’s eyes widened suddenly.
