Chapter 1228: Chapter 1223: In a Dilemma

Jin Zijin, puzzled, took the letter in her hands to read, and after a while, he burned the letter, saying, “It is naturally necessary to read it, but now is not the time. Let’s wait until after Madam Zuo has given birth, better yet to prove once and for all that the child isn’t King Jin’s.”

Gu Youyou gave him a nonchalant glance and continued to sigh.

The problem she and Jin Zijin saw were not the same at all, she rooted in humanitarianism, truly wanted to help her cousin, and her starting point was to save people.

While what Jin Zijin thought of was finding the right moment to expose King Jin’s infertility to give them a heavy blow.

Jin Zijin said lightly, “This matter… you want to save him, but it’s also harming him. They have already set foot on a path of no return, it’s not as simple as saying curing his illness will save him.”

Gu Youyou nodded lightly and said, “My cousin probably didn’t think so much, she just simply wanted to save King Jin.”

As she spoke, she pulled out another letter, sighing with difficulty, saying, “This is what she wrote to King Jin, asking me to help her pass it to him. Given our hostile relationship with King Jin, how can I deliver this letter to him and be okay?”

Jin Zijin glanced at it and said lightly, “Just burn it together.”

Gu Youyou quickly withdrew her hand, saying, “No way, as a person who upholds righteousness, even if I return the letter to her, I can’t decide to dispose of it for someone else.”

The principled stance of Gu Youyou made Jin Zijin feel speechless, it was just a letter anyway, he could not be bothered.

He just said, “If you have the guts, deliver it to Prince Jin Residence yourself.”

“Pfft~ I’m not that idle.”

See, she understands the reasoning, but she is just stubborn.

At this moment, Gu Youyou heard a rush of footsteps coming from outside the courtyard, and a moment later, she saw Xiang Chun through the window, followed by a frantic Cuiya.

Gu Youyou’s heart skipped a beat, only Miss Du and Jie Yi could make Cuiya this anxious, could something have happened to them?

She quickly lifted her dress and got up, walking towards Cuiya.

“What happened?”

“Doctor Gu, Doctor Gu, Jie… Second Young Master is back…” Cuiya said anxiously with a sobbing tone.

“What?” Gu Youyou thought she had heard wrong, and hurriedly asked, “Are you talking about Jie Zhonglin?”

Cuiya nodded hurriedly, saying, “Yes, he has returned.”

“Wasn’t he dead? Hacked to death and fed to wolves?” Xiang Chun exclaimed in surprise.

Cuiya gasped for breath while shaking her head, saying, “No, he didn’t die, he just lost an arm, and his leg is injured. But now he is nearly dead, my miss has brought him back to Jie Residence, asking me to please ask Doctor Gu to save him.”

Gu Youyou looked at Jin Zijin.

Jin Zijin frowned and said, “It is possible, Jie Zhongsen didn’t find his complete body, only found an arm.”

“Yes, yes!” Cuiya nodded hurriedly.

Oh, so the returned Jie Zhonglin missing an arm matched up.

It’s just unknown what he went through to escape from death.

Gu Youyou glanced at the sleeping Jin Xuyao, then said to Jin Zijin, “Then I’ll go to Jie Residence first, you stay home and take care of the child.”

“Yeah, go ahead.”

“Xiang Chun, go call Searcy.”

Searcy is a good assistant, why not use him when he’s available.

She took her tools and assistants and quickly got on the carriage, she arrived just as Miss Du’s carriage also arrived.

Cuiya had run ahead to inform Gu Youyou, with Miss Du and Jie Zhonglin following behind.
