Chapter 550 - 560: Explaining the Reasons
Gu Youyou smiled gently, "I was just strolling through the garden with my cousin when we happened upon this place and saw your maid seeking a doctor. It must be fate."
As she spoke, she gently inserted a long needle into Miss Du’s back.
Miss Du let out a muffled grunt, biting her lip tightly.
Gu Youyou chatted idly with her to distract her attention.
"I heard that you are the legitimate second young madam of this residence, so why are you living in such a place?"
Gu Youyou’s direct question might have been offensive, but perhaps because her voice was gentle and pleasant and her expression was focused on administering the acupuncture, it did not provoke any resentment from Miss Du.
"For a woman not favored by her husband, her status does not matter. Whether the main wife or a concubine, it’s all the same."
Miss Du’s voice was light and weak due to her illness, almost as if she was murmuring to herself. If Gu Youyou’s hearing wasn’t sharp, she might not have caught her words clearly.
