Chapter 1256: A twist of fate, extremely coincidental

"Sister Ling'er, will this work?"

In the small courtyard, Gao Ling held a small jar for mashing garlic, her face full of seriousness.

Her small hand held the wooden stick for mashing garlic, and while fiercely poking at the garlic jar, she stared at the big rooster not far away, revealing a smile like a little devil.

An'an stood to the side and asked in a low voice.

"An'an, are you worried that if this big rooster is poisoned to death, Second Brother will punish us?"

Gao Ling's small face was childish as she asked An'an.

"No, it's just that this big rooster looks so strong and fierce; is one packet of laxatives enough?"

An'an's eyes showed concern, and fear flashed across her face.

"It should be enough. You don't know Second Brother's skills. Big Brother's poison strategies are invincible in the world, and Second Brother's poison-making is also invincible in the world."

"This 'Powerful Spraying King' explosive version—even if this rooster is big, how could it possibly withstand it?"

Gao Ling said as a matter of course, her face full of confidence.

But immediately after, she took out another packet of medicinal powder, her face full of seriousness.

"But just in case, we must be cautious like Big Brother and add another packet to be safe."

Saying this, the smile on Gao Ling's face became even richer.

The two carried the garlic jar and walked toward the big rooster, sprinkling the medicinal juice from the bowl.

Then the two revealed smiles in unison.

At this moment, a servant from outside the courtyard pushed the door open and said to Gao Ling, "Young Lady, the Second Master has returned."

"Daddy?"

Upon hearing this, a flash of surprise appeared in Gao Ling's eyes.

She wanted to rush directly to see Gao Linyuan, but seeming to think of something, her face was full of determination.

"The teacher said, 'If you borrow and return, it's not hard to borrow again.' After taking something, one must return it to its owner first."

"Ling'er wants to be an obedient child!"

Gao Ling held the garlic jar in her hands and rushed straight toward the kitchen.

She put down the garlic jar, which still had quite a bit of medicinal juice left in it, and then left directly. In the middle of winter, the water was too cold, and washing dishes was naturally left to the servants.

After Gao Ling left.

The servants of the Duke of Ding's Prefecture saw this garlic jar and instinctively wanted to wash it.

But someone said, "This garlic jar was used by the Young Master; it contains the Young Master's secret seasoning. I heard the Young Master even came up with some hot pot today and wants to open a shop in Da Qian."

"The Young Master has taken Lady Shangguan out shopping; we should wait until the Young Master returns and report it before handling this garlic jar."

"Otherwise, if there is something incredibly precious inside, we won't be able to bear the consequences."

Everyone nodded in succession.

"That makes sense!"

"Let's wait until the Young Master returns before making a decision."

In the kitchen, everyone performed their duties, and only the lonely garlic jar was placed on the chopping board...

On the other side.

"Daddy!"

"Ling'er!"

Gao Ling shouted from afar, which directly made Gao Linyuan extremely excited.

He took Gao Ling into his arms, and a look of gratification appeared in his eyes.

"Ling'er, did you miss Daddy?"
