Transmigrated to Ancient Times as a Female Prison Guard-Chapter 37: Are You, Are you Hurt

Gong Xiaohua watched the Twelfth Princess walk away, thinking it was just a joke the young lady had said.

She smiled, took the horse, and prepared to go to Elder Brother's side to see if they had already gone home first.

She had communicated with her superiors before coming to see the princess that they would go home by themselves after this and would not go to the Ministry of Justice anymore.

The pedestrians on the road came and went, and from time to time they would secretly glance at Gong Xiaohua as they walked on the road.

These looks were too fiery, making Gong Xiaohua feel a little uncomfortable, so she had to quicken her pace to get away from these glaring eyes.

Halfway there, she met the Qin family’s carriage.

Little Uncle had already left the Qin Residence. Now, apart from getting along relatively well with Qin Chuyuan, if she ran into other people from the Qin family, it would definitely be hostile. Not wanting to cause trouble, she decided to stay far away from them.

Just as she was about to detour behind the Qin family’s convoy, the last carriage in the Qin family’s convoy stopped, and a soft, low voice called out from the carriage, "Miss Gong."

Gong Xiaohua stopped and looked towards the lifted carriage curtain to see the “Qin Beauty” whom she hadn't seen for a long time.

Why is it that every time she saw Qin Beauty, she would be shocked by his looks once, and it got more enchanting each time. How could this person look so good?

Suppressing the astonishment in her heart, she looked around, confirming that the other party was calling her, and curiously asked, "Young Master Qin, may I ask what business you have with me?"

Qin Chuyuan saw the change in the other's expression, first shock and admiration, then calm and indifferent.

It seemed that to her, if it wasn't for his good looks, in her eyes he was completely a stranger.

This made him inexplicably irritated in his heart, and also a little disappointed.

Seeing the other party silent for a long time, Gong Xiaohua pointed at herself and said to Qin Chuyuan in the carriage, "Sir, please go on with your business, I'll take my leave first."

"Ahem, um, were you injured in the competition?"

After saying this, Qin Chuyuan's entire ears and face turned an odd pink.

He didn't know why he would say such a thing, feeling a little annoyed in his heart, and also somewhat expectant.

Gong Xiaohua almost thought she was hearing things.

Did this young master eat the wrong medicine today? Usually when he saw her, he had an aloof appearance, as if saying don't come near me, we're not close.

"I got a minor injury, it's no big deal." Gong Xiaohua said.

Hearing that the other party was injured, Qin Chuyuan took out a medicinal ointment from the carriage and handed it to Gong Xiaohua outside, "This is a special ointment for external injuries made in the palace. The effect is quite good, take it."

"This medicine must be very precious. Young Master Qin should keep it for yourself or your family to use." Gong Xiaohua did not reach for the small bottle handed over by the other party. She just declined, "It's just a minor injury. My family also has self-made golden sore medicine. I don't want to owe your family another favor."

"Once I give something out, I won't take it back. If you don't want it, it would be a pity to throw it away."

This young master was really arrogant. One who doesn't run the household doesn't know the value of firewood, rice, oil, and salt.

"Then I will unceremoniously accept it. Thank you, Young Master Qin."

Taking the ointment from Qin Chuyuan's hand, looking at the exquisite bottle in her hand, it looked high-end at first glance. Based on this bottle alone, it should sell for a lot of money.

"Be more careful in tomorrow's competition. Also, be vigilant of the Sixth Prince in your daily life."

Why did a Sixth Prince pop up suddenly? What had she done to be wary of the so-called Sixth Prince? Did they know each other?

She almost wanted to roll her eyes at the Qin Beauty. What was this young master being eccentric about? First he gave her medicine, then told her to be wary of someone she hadn't even seen before.

"I'm just a petty prison guard. I haven't even seen him before, what's there to be wary of?"

"I can't explain it to you in a short period of time. In short, remember what I told you."

"I see."

"Then I'll take my leave." He said, but the carriage remained unmoved.

Seeing that the other party's carriage remained unmoved, Gong Xiaohua could only say, "Have a safe trip."

Only then did the other party's carriage start moving.

Looking at the carriage in front, Gong Xiaohua felt that she was getting stranger each time she met this Qin Beauty.

Setting aside her doubts, Gong Xiaohua headed to her elder brother's stall.

She saw that her elder brother and mother were still there, and there were no customers at the stall at this moment. There was also no more braised food on the stall. It seemed like all the braised food they brought today had been sold out.

"Xiaohua."

"Little sister."

"Mother, brother."

"Brother, how did the braised food sell?"

"Sold out. Many said the taste was great and bought more after buying some." Gong Dafu said excitedly to Gong Xiaohua.

The trip today earned back all their principal. 𝒻𝘳𝓮ℯ𝑤𝘦𝒷𝓷𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝑐𝑜𝓂

The people of the capital were just different. They bought things without blinking an eye.

"Xiaohua, how was it? Did you get to compete today?"

"Yes, I participated in a competition today."

"How did the competition go? Were you injured?" Madam Gong hurried to Gong Xiaohua and looked around her daughter's front, back, left and right, then asked.

"Mother, I'm not injured at all. I'm fine. I still have to continue the competition tomorrow."

"That's good as long as you're not hurt. Why do you still have to compete tomorrow? Shouldn't it take several days to select the competitors?"

"The rules of the competition changed this time. It will only last two days. After tomorrow's competition ends, the preliminaries will be over."

"Oh, this horse is assigned by your department? It looks shiny and slick, a good horse." Madam Gong looked at the big horse Gong Xiaohua was leading. Such a horse would cost several dozen taels of silver.

"Yes, Mother. Do you want to try it?"

"I dare not. I'm afraid it would shake apart my old bones."

"Mother, you're not old at all, still young."

"Yes, auntie, you look very young." Gong Dafu chimed in next to her.

"You two and your sweet talk. Alright, enough said. Let's pack up and head home."

"Alright."

"Right, brother, let's come early tomorrow and bring as much braised food as possible to sell. If there are leftovers, we can also sell them at the market."

"Sounds good, little sister."

After packing everything up, Gong Xiaohua and Gong Dafu pushed the wheeled cart they borrowed from a neighbor towards home, while Madam Gong led the horse behind them.

From a distance, Lin Yueru had already seen the entire exchange where Qin Chuyuan passed medicine to Gong Xiaohua. Humph, sure enough it was because of her.

Now looking at Gong Xiaohua's group of three ahead, she called over a servant beside her.

"Follow them quietly and find out if the Gong family is doing business."

This was really a timely coincidence. Just the right opportunity.
