All the major academies in the Capital City have started their academic year, including the Qinghe Academy.Early in the morning, Gu Yan and Gu Xiaoshun arrived at the academy with their book bags in hand to report for school.The first day’s homework wasn’t much; the primary focus was to settle in.As they entered the academy gates with their book bags, they bumped into the Marquis Residence brothers, Gu Chengfeng and Gu Chenglin, whom they hadn’t seen for days.Gu Chenglin had been recuperating from injuries for two whole months. He could finally walk normally, but the profound psychological shadow he had incurred made him feel like he would get hurt every few steps he took.The four of them meeting at the entrance was indeed pretty awkward.Gu Chenglin’s gaze towards Gu Yan was still filled with bitterness, but underlying that bitterness was even more trepidation.Every time he saw Gu Yan, he was reminded of the scenes where Gu Jiao tormented him in a small dark room, which is why

Officer Tong informed the fourth prince: “Your Highness, a girl attacked me in the street when I tried to question her, and she even fought back.”The fourth prince’s gaze landed on the chunky swelling on Officer Tong’s left cheek. “So, you’re telling me you were beaten by a girl?”Officer Tong shamefully lowered his head.The second boss hadn’t yet figured out who the fourth prince was. He started: “Young Master, here’s what happened. Our medical hall just opened, we’re not very familiar with the Capital City. We treated a patient that upset this gentleman here, who picked a fight with our doctor, and even called for backup.”“Four… Your…” As the guard began to speak, the menacing glare of the fourth prince silenced him. He stammered: “Your Highness, they treated Liu Yisheng!”The Liu family once plotted against the fourth prince’s late Emperor father. How could the fourth prince allow the descendants of Liu to be treated?Stinking girl, you’re dead meat!“Who treated him? This lady?

the saying goes, good deeds never leave home, but bad ones travel a thousand miles.The news of Miao Shoutang treating Liu Yisheng spread quickly, attracting many on-lookers in the afternoon.They weren’t disappointed either.By the time of sundown, the bruiser that Gu Jiao had knocked flat came back, along with a squad of guards.They weren’t officials, but rather looked like guards from some affluent homes.The burly man pointed his shaking hand at Gu Jiao and glared, “Master Tong! That’s her! She was the one who beat us all up!”The guard called Master Tong looked in the direction he was pointing, only to see a fourteen or fifteen year old girl. He was bewildered, “Who?”“Her! That woman!” said the burly man.Tong frowned and looked at Gu Jiao, then at the burly man, “Are you telling me that you all got beaten up by a girl?”Wha… What’s this about a dog?The large man refused to admit it!But recalling how they were scrambling around on the ground looking for their teeth, they loo

This name sounded somewhat familiar.But Gu Jiao couldn’t recall where she had heard it for the moment.Gu Jiao ordered someone to prepare his medicine, but did not accept his money.Carrying the medicine, Liu Yisheng stumbled away.He had barely taken two steps when suddenly he turned around: “Maybe you shouldn’t have treated me after all.”Many times he had been deceived. Each time he harbored hope, but each time only met disappointments.But this time, he knew the medicine she gave him was authentic.Countless times he had wished that the medicine given by others was genuine, but this time alone, he wished it to be a hoax.Liu Yisheng left.When Gu Jiao returned to the medical hall, except for Dr. Song and Shopkeeper Wang, who looked puzzled, the other local Capital City staff all kept their heads down, not daring to utter a word.“Little Gu! I’m back!”The second owner entered the medical hall, cheer and excitement in his eyes, “Being wealthy indeed feels different, it even makes

The landlord’s wife initially thought Gu Jiao would ask why he had suddenly changed his mind, but instead, she promptly started waving SILVER bills in their face.Isn’t that way too showy?The landlord’s wife was dumbstruck: “Where did you get so much silver?”“Well…” Gu Jiao thought for a moment, “Extorted them.”The landlord’s wife: “…”I also want to extort as much, take me with you!Gu Chengfeng actually wasn’t this rich, he didn’t have more than a thousand taels in total, the other two thousand were borrowed.In order to pay back the silver, he had already started secretly taking on extra work, and it was not as simple as shoveling a few mounds of chicken dung, those tasks were all dangerous and strenuous.His days were squeezed dry by school during the day and by tasks at night, it was a miserable existence, to say the least.On the first day of opening after the New Year, the Medical Hall had a lot going on.Gu Jiao and Dr. Song took out some of the medicinal herbs from the cab
Chapter 324
The Emperor left the soon-to-be incumbent official without a backward glance.He was on his way to look for the elder ritual wine official.The elder official hadn’t included his address in his letter, but the Emperor was not incapable of finding him.The messenger who delivered the letter had said he was just running an errand for a guest staying at the Eastward Inn.Eastward Inn, splendid.The Emperor personally went to the Eastward Inn, but found that the elder official had already left by the time he arrived.“When did he leave?” The eunuch by His Majesty’s side asked.The innkeeper replied, “He left a while ago. He goes out every day and only returns late.”“How many days has he been staying here?” The eunuch probed further.The shopkeeper glanced at his ledger and replied, “Five nights.”The Eastward Inn was an unremarkable inn, one so downtrodden that was scorned even as a lavatory for the Emperor.The Emperor felt deeply saddened when he thought about how the elder official ha
