Princess and the General

t.

He liked Yu Fu’s sweet voice carrying a smile and calling him Great General the most.

When the footsteps approached, Gu Huai Jiang eagerly raised his head, yet saw walking in Yu Fu holding the hand of an unfamiliar little servant girl.

That little servant girl also appeared to be only eleven or twelve, wearing plain and simple clothes.
Her round face carried a shy but sincere smile.

“Great General, she’s Yao Lan, the Yao Lan that I told you about before!”

Gu Huai Jiang momentarily couldn’t remember, but afterwards, as if suddenly coming to realization, pointed to Yao Lan in shock.

Dear Readers.
Scrapers have recently been devasting our views.
At this rate, the site (creativenovels .com) might…let's just hope it doesn't come to that.
If you are reading on a scraper site.
Please don't.

“You’re saying, she’s that maid that’s been serving you since you were little, Yao Lan?”

Yu Fu happily nodded her head.

“But why would she appear here……”

An Immortals Valley’s little servant girl soundlessly appeared in the Marquis Manor, and moreover, not a single manor guard detected her presence.

How was this possible?

Gu Huai Jiang slightly knitted his brows and looked towards Qi An.

Qi An naturally was aware that this matter was of great concern and thus hurriedly bowed to acknowledge his mistake.

He was the manor’s head steward.
Anything that happens in the manor were all his responsibility.

Seeing the situation, Yu Fu thought that Gu Huai Jiang was angry, and thus reached her hand behind her back to tightly grasp Lan Yao’s hand, indicating for her to not be scared.

“Great General, are you angry?”

As soon as Gu Huai Jiang looked down, he saw Yu Fu’s innocent pair of eyes, carrying a bit of panic.

He quickly smiled and explained to her, pacifying her mood.

“No, no, I was just curious.
How did she appear in the Marquis Manor?”

Qi Ting lowered her head in shock.
Just feeling that Gu Huai Jiang’s look just now was just like her father, Qi Zhou’s, whenever he was coaxing her.

But Qi Zhou was just a steward of the Marquis Manor, while Gu Huai Jiang was Eastern Ling’s dignified Great General Marquis that was below one and above thousands!

How could he be this doting towards an illegitimate daughter?

Qi An was already accustomed to seeing and wasn’t surprised.

From when Gu Huai Jiang helped clean the fragments out of her hair for her in front of Gu Xiang and Gu Yi, Qi An had already understood his doting.

Seeing him not get angry, Yu Fu finally let out a smile in relief.

“What’s so strange about this? My master is the medicine god.
If he wants to stuff a servant girl into the Marquis Manor, there were lots of ways.
Great General doesn’t need to worry.
I suppose, master is just worried about me, that’s all.”

Gu Huai Jiang nodded.

He had brought Yu Fu from the borders near Immortals Valley all the way to Eastern Ling’s imperial capital.
Xun Chi as her master, being worried, is also reasonable.

It’s exactly as Yu Fu said.
As the dignified, god of medicine, for him to want to stuff a little servant girl into the Marquis Manor, it indeed wasn’t difficult.

He rather helplessly shook his head.

“What is your master thinking? Wanting for you to descend the mountain to train, yet also arranging a fake mother and a servant girl by your side.
Where was this anything like training?”

When Yao Lan heard these words, she looked to Gu Huai Jiang in confusion.

Training?

So this was what Yu Fu said to them…….

Yu Fu pulled on Yao Lan’s hand behind her, indicating for her to not expose her.

She stuck out her tongue, “But I’m this small, coming down the mountain alone to train, wasn’t that just looking for death?”

That is also true.

She’d just exited the mountains, when her hired mother got scared away by the troops, and she herself also got kidnapped back by Old Jin.

If she’d encountered bad guys, afraid she would’ve long gotten into trouble.

“Don’t worry, with me here, you can train however you like in Eastern Ling, you can even walk sideways.”

Gu Huai Jiang carefully avoided her flower bud hair and patted the top of her head with a smile; his appearance exceptionally gentle.
