Kapitel 2118: Reason 1

She had first encountered this servant when she arrived at the yard half a month ago. Back then, he appeared immaculate, maintaining a neat and gentle demeanor while dutifully carrying out her instructions. With his polite manners, it was evident that he was a well-mannered individual. Now, as she saw him for the second time, she couldn't help but notice the numerous wounds marring his otherwise clean and innocent face.

Gu Chaoyan was not one to easily tolerate disturbances, yet she couldn't simply disregard the welfare of the servants responsible for her well-being. Thus, she felt compelled to understand the reason behind the injuries he bore.

Approaching him, Gu Chaoyan requested his presence. The servant, however, tried to conceal his face, hesitating to approach her. As she caught sight of the wounds on his face, she sensed his reluctance. It wasn't due to guilt but rather a reluctance to burden her with his troubles.
