Lin Chengye and Fen Lin returned home to discover a new guest had joined their household.Fen Lin was puzzled, wasn’t the old woman found fainting at the doorstep of Gu Jiao and Xiao Liulang merely a nondescript leper?How did she turn out to be a relative?He did not doubt the validity of her identity; instead, he assumed they were separated in the past.“How did he find his way to the Capital City?” Fen Lin asked.After all, the old woman was found in a county town miles away from the Capital City.Gu Jiao fished the fried meatballs out of the pot: “Maybe he asked around in the next village.”Fen Lin nodded: “That’s possible. No matter what, a reunion is always good!”Last year’s celebration in the countryside had Xue Ningxiang and puppy, this year they had Lin Chengye, Gu Yan, and the old monk. Although it was just one additional person, the atmosphere felt much livelier.Mainly because Fen Lin and Gu Jiao had grown to know each other well, becoming the second biggest chatterbox in

So, they would go through the Suo Bridge.Because of the crowd, traffic was tight, and progress was quite slow.Maybe she could still catch up.No, she must catch up.The market was closed on the first day of the lunar new year, and no carriages could be rented, but the elderly neighbor had some.Gu Jiao went to knock on his door, saying she needed to go to the temple to offer incense.The old priest nodded and hurriedly asked Liao Quan to drive the carriage, taking Gu Jiao to the temple.The road was fine at first, but it became congested as they approached the temple.The road was already narrow, and half of it was sealed off for a noble’s exclusive passage.Gu Jiao lifted the curtain: “Uncle Liu, you go back first, I’ll walk from here.”“Are you sure?” Liao Quan looked at the vast sea of people, somewhat worried.“It’s not far off.” Gu Jiao jumped off the carriage.She squeezed through the crowd until she reached the riverbank.From here, she could clearly see the temple on the oth

Xiao Liulang withdrew his foot from the suspension bridge.“Are you coming or going? If not, move!” An burly man rudely pushed Xiao Liulang to the side from behind.“Hey! Why are you pushing? Liulang! Liulang, come up quickly—” Fen Lin, who had been squeezed onto the bridge by the crowded throng, initially thought Xiao Liulang would follow him up. He didn’t expect his spot to be claimed by someone else.He reached out to grab Xiao Liulang.But he couldn’t.“You should come back too!” Xiao Liulang said to him.But it was too late.There were too many people, and Fen Lin was quickly pushed to the center of the crowd.Lin Chengye was behind Xiao Liulang.Since Xiao Liulang didn’t go up, he didn’t either.Gu Jiao was still shouting not to come over, that the bridge was about to break, but only those about to ascend the bridge heard her. Those who did hear didn’t believe her and shook their heads before heading towards the temple.“Oh, no!”Fen Lin was jostled across the bridge by the crow

If things happened in the past, it wouldn’t have been a big deal. After all, it is impossible for the royal family to travel without pomp.As long as nothing goes wrong, everything is fine.But the problem is that something has happened, a big issue concerning human life!The Emperor expressed his dissatisfaction. He was furious but didn’t want to scold a woman. So he called the Crown Prince to the Imperial Study Room and rebuked him: “Look at the mess you’ve made! On New Year’s Day, at the beginning of the national fortune, you two poked such a big hole for me! Do you think my throne is too stable? Trying to give me trouble?”The Crown Prince also felt wronged. Doesn’t the royal family always travel with pomp? Especially when it’s the Crown Princess, the future Empress of Zhan Country. It is not considered wrong even if she blocked a road, a bridge, or even a temple, forbidding others from entering.This is not the Crown Prince favoring the Crown Princess, this is how the royal famil

The news of the Suo Bridge collapse spread quickly among the people, reaching the ears of the old lady and elder wine priest.However, as their children were unharmed, they did not delve into the matter too much.The Imperial Exam is coming next month. Though Guozijian did not start classes, Gu Jiao urged her husband to study every day.Xiao Liulang, who was held down in the study room… suffered in silence!On the tenth day, Gu Jiao visited the Marquis Residence.She did not disclose the startling events at home to Yao Family, but Madam Fang, who visited Bishui Alley every other day, knew some of them. Gu Jiao asked her not to speak of it.Madam Fang now listened to Gu Jiao even more, truly not uttering a single word.The condition of the Yao Family was not bad.Gu Jiao thought that at this rate, it wouldn’t be long before the antidepressants could be stopped.“The flowers in the Plum Garden have bloomed. Let’s take a walk in the Plum Garden,” said the Yao Family’s daughter.Gu Jiao r
