The Divine Physician’s Overbearing Wife
chapter-866

In the chief manor.

Gu Shi narrowed his eyes and scanned the girl standing in front of him.

“You want to go to the back hill?”

Feng Ruqing slightly nodded. “Yes.”

At that moment, Gu Shi was so scared that his heart was about to stop beating. But he pretended to be indifferent.

Did Feng Ruqing know that a woman was imprisoned by him in the back hill? Did Feng Ruqing come to expose his secret?

What to do…

If his secret was exposed, his reputation that he had built his whole life would completely be damaged.

“Ahem.” Gu Shi cleared his throat. He was embarrassed. “Lady Xiao Qing, there is really nothing in the back hill behind my manor. I am not lying to you. There is really nothing there.”

The more he explained, the more he felt guilty.

Gu Yiyi was suspicious. “Father, are you really hiding a woman in the back hill? Otherwise, why is the back hill a forbidden area? I haven’t been there in the past few years. Are you really hiding a woman there?”

She really had not been to the back hill. Furthermore, she did not have much interest in the back hill. But now that Feng Ruqing had mentioned it, she, too, wanted to follow along.

Too bad that her father was petty and did not allow anyone to enter the back hill.

Was he really hiding a woman?

If Gu Shi did not know that Gu Yiyi was just making random guesses, he might have thought that she had found out his secret.

His heart trembled after hearing what she had said.

“Yiyi, you know that this is a rule that has been passed down from the former manor masters. How could I not follow the rule when I am the manor master of Tian Shen Manor?”

Gu Yiyi did not really care about it. “You are not the kind of person that would follow the rules. When you first served as the manor master, you took out the grave of the former manor master. I don’t believe that you would follow Tian Shen Manor’s rules.”

It was ridiculous. Her father was not someone who would obey the rules.

Gu Shi was speechless.

‘Little Devil, is it really good to expose me like this in front of others?”

‘I still had to protect my reputation.’

“Yiyi, it’s not that I’m petty. I don’t allow people to enter the back hill because there is really nothing there.”

“It’s okay, it doesn’t matter. Xiao Qing and I just want to go to see the scenery.” Gu Yiyi smiled. “Father, even if you disagree, I will still bring Xiao Qing there, unless you lock me up.”

‘Lock her up?’

How could he do it?!

“Yiyi, let’s talk about it…”

Gu Yiyi picked up a white jade token and played with it before Gu Shi could finish his words.

“Father, whose grave have you robbed this time? Who has left this white jade token here? I can see spiritual qi flowing inside this white jade token. The person who can seal the spiritual qi within this token is strong. The sound of the token falling to the ground is also very pleasant.”

Gu Shi was speechless.

Gu Shi’s face was pale. He was about to cry. “Little Devil, don’t be impetuous. The sound is not pleasant. Please put it down.”

Crack!

Gu Yiyi smashed the white jade token onto the ground. It was broken into pieces. The sound as crisp as a bell made Gu Yiyi feel better.

Then…

She took another jade bottle from the shelf next to her.

Her father did not have many hobbies. The only thing he liked was these pieces.

She also did not have many hobbies.

The only thing she liked was the smashing sound of these pieces.

“Yiyi!” Gu Shi really wanted to cry. “You have already smashed so many things in the past. This is another batch that I have managed to get recently. Little Devil, please don’t do this to me. I’ll take you to the back hill now.”
