Knock knock!
They both heard a knock on the door. Gon got up and opened the door.
Qiang popped up and asked, "Uncle, what about the dinner? What do you want to eat today? Mr. Secretary, it's vegetable porridge for you today! No excuses!"
Gon gave a short smile and said, "Thank you young master but I am going to our basement after finishing the reporting."
Qiang widened his eyes and said, "You cannot! It's my responsibility to take care of you!"
Uncle Song chuckled and added, "He is right, you should sleep here tonight," he looked at Gon and said in his mind, 'else your Miss will scold me for that! didn't you see how she shot a glare at me!' Gon understood the meaningful look and nodded, "Ok master, I will stay here tonight."
Uncle Song said to Qiang, "Actually I can't come to cook now, tell butler Lin to prepare whatever you want for dinner, and don't forget to ask Hao what he wants to eat! I am ok with anything."
Qiang smiled cheekily and said, "Thanks Dae Hyun ah, I will tell uncle Lin right away!" and waved back at his uncle.
"Lass! How dare you call your uncle by name!" uncle Song scolded while laughing.
When the door was closed, the happy atmosphere once again changed into the serious one. Gon showed all his working papers to his master. He asked, "Master, we reincarnated in this world because we got a second chance. So that means… at that time, the old man didn't get what he wanted, right?"
Master Song was reading the documents. He thought about it and said, "What you said… it might be possible. If this is the case, this time too whatever he is planning must be related to your Miss, but we don't know that who is that old man this time.
One thing is good that the old man will get confused about Su Yeon and Lufan just like me. Even if they have the same faces, their personality and profession are totally opposite this time."
Gon got nervous and looked downwards. Master Song found it odd so he asked, "What happened?" Gon contemplated about something.
Finally, he decided to tell and said, "Master… about that… actually Miss and Young Master haven't changed at all… even their profession…"
Master Song creased his forehead and asked, "What do you mean by that? Lufan was not only a great warrior but also good at government affairs... Our little dumpling always used to spend time in the garden learning about different plants. I personally appointed our Royal Physician as her tutor."
Master Song remembered those days. When he found out that his little dumpling had started reading medical books, he was quite surprised but appointed the royal physician as her tutor. She was quite happy. Also, he liked the Head Eunuch's adopted son Hao Lui, who is Song Hao in this life. He was a very smart and dedicated kid.
When he saw that Hao Lui was actively helping Royal Physician in his work, he suggested him join her so both of them can learn. Soon, his little dumpling and Hao Lui became good mates. Crown Prince used to join them for studying.
Gon hesitantly said, "Master… the thing is… Miss and young master used to swap their work. Young Master was indeed a great warrior, but he was also the best physician next to our Royal Physician. About Miss, she always liked politics… they both started doing this when Crown Prince asked for the decision rights… it was actually Miss's idea."
Master Song was utterly shocked. Exactly how many things they both used to do behind his back! And his notorious little dumping… no doubt she chose business in this life.
Gon continued without making eye contact, "Due to court work, Crown Prince never had time to learn thoroughly about medicine. So, Miss used to learn it for him. She used to write down each and everything because… she couldn't understand it at all."
Master Song laughed, "So this is how it was. I am sure she must have used you to recite whatever was taught that day, after all, you have an extraordinary memory… and it would have become easier when Hao joined her."
Gon nodded embarrassingly. Master Song asked, "Then what about Lufan? I remember that even those stingy ministers used to like his method of governing. Was it…"
Gon once again nodded and told, "That is right master, those decisions were taken by Miss." Master Song got confused and asked, "But how is it possible?"
Gon told how the siblings used to do it, "Master, do you remember that Crown Prince used to take all the scrolls and join Miss and young master Hao while studying?"
When Master Song confirmed, Gon continued, "At that time, they used to swap their positions. Crown Prince would study whatever Miss had written down and Miss would check all the scrolls and then discuss her solutions with the Crown Prince.
Miss knew what was happening in the country because… we used to sneak out from the Palace… She asked to prepare clothes the same as mine but of her size and used to disguise as my younger brother while roaming in the capital. Sometimes, Crown Prince also joined us."
Master Song said, "Yes I know that Lufan used to disguise to check upon the capital but our little dumpling…" he squinted his eyes at Gon and said, "and you never ever restricted her! Ahh, forget it! Even I couldn't reject her request then how would you!"
Gon smiled while thinking about those days and said, "Ministers would have never allowed Miss to enter into the court. So to deceive them, she used to study medicine as it will shut them up and will be useful for Crown Prince. 'Two birds with one stone' that is what she said."
Gon looked at his master. Master Song was also thinking about those days; a sad smile was on his face. He asked, "Master, I have written all those memories. Should I give you that file?"
Master Song straightened up and said, "Of course, I would like to see what did they used to do." Gon nodded and sent the file to his Master's laptop. Master Song was looking at Gon's happy face and said, "Gon ah, you miss your little Miss and Young Master, right?"
Gon nodded. He then started to tell the reports of their company. Just like that, the happy atmosphere once again turned into a serious one.
…
A few minutes ago,
Qiang closed the door and went towards the stairs while whistling. When he reached near the stairs, he stopped whistling and looked back at the door while thinking something with a confused face.
Just then he heard a cold voice from behind, "Where did you get that?"
