Li Wanwan, falling short skill-wise compared to Gu Jinyu and Zhuang Yuexi, ended up tied with Zhuang Yuexi for second place in this round.Despite keeping her first-place position, Gu Jinyu felt little joy.The performance had been outstanding; she felt completely overshadowed.Only after hearing from the Empress that the Crown Princess had invited musicians from the palace for the examination did she decide to choose a more impressive piece. Otherwise, any piece would have sufficed to win the relatively minor competition.She didn’t realize it would be that bad if she hadn’t revised her choice.Winning first place with her masterful skill wouldn’t have attracted any criticism.Now, compared to Li Wanwan, her piece seemed more like a joke.Gu Jinyu never dreamed that her limelight would be snatched away by the seemingly unimpressive Li Wanwan.After the examination, the music master stayed behind to give some pointers to Li Wanwan about her zither playing technique, highlighting areas

She strode into the Medical Hall and said to Gu Jiao, pointing at herself: “Miss Gu, do you remember me?”Yes, she already knew the other party’s surname was Gu.Gu Jiao was in the process of classifying the medicine she had just purchased, and upon hearing the sound, her actions didn’t stop. She gently replied, “Dr. Song is in charge of the clinic today.”“I’m not here to see a doctor! I’m here to find you!” said Du Xiaoyun, “I’ve wanted to come a while ago, but my recent homework has been too busy!”The coursework for female students wasn’t always this busy, but for some reason, the students in the class made a lot of progress all of a sudden, and almost all the homework was correct, almost catching up with Zhuang Yuexi and Gu Jinyu.Some of it were copied, but some were genuinely understood the problem. When the teacher asked them to explain, they were spot on!The teacher thought he was really good and raised the difficulty level of the entire class.Du Xiaoyun’s learning was not

On the other side, Gu Changqing led his horse, escorting Gu Jiao back to Bishui Alley.He couldn’t figure out why the Capital City’s infamous thief, Fei Shuang, would know Gu Jiao. Perhaps Gu Jiao was overthinking it.Fei Shuang always stole valuables, either treasures or state secrets. The most valuable item in Gu Jiao’s small basket was just a tiny first aid kit.Even if it was filled with premium medicinal herbs, it wouldn’t pique Fei Shuang’s interest, would it?Could it be that she was really after Gu Jiao herself?But Gu Changqing didn’t believe there was anything suspicious about Gu Jiao.Or maybe… Fei Shuang was actually targeting the Marquis Residence instead?“We’re here,” Gu Jiao’s voice interrupted Gu Changqing’s thoughts.Gu Changqing looked towards the mansion behind Gu Jiao. It was a smaller place than his own courtyard, but it radiated a unique aura. He couldn’t quite place what was different about it, but it was somehow inviting.“Would you like to come in for a bit?”
Chapter 291
The man had been a notorious figure in Capital City for years, fierce and domineering, this was the first time anyone dared to ridicule him like that. His face darkened!Gu Jiao really didn’t have the time to waste on him, she still had to go home and cook dinner.Gu Jiao raised her hand and swung at him.The man’s movements were more elusive than Gu Jiao had imagined, after a few rounds, she was unable to gain the upper hand.However, he obviously wasn’t going to pin Gu Jiao down that easily either.He brow furrowed.When he made a move, it was always decisive within three strike.But this young girl managed to endure more than ten rounds.In the midst of their fight, galloping horse hooves echoed down the alley, followed by a stern shout from Gu Changqing: “Who’s there?”The man’s body froze.Seizing the opportunity, Gu Jiao slashed down with a palm strike and reclaimed her miniature backpack. She then raised her other hand, palm facing down and a dagger flew out from her sleeves. W

Gu Changqing took a deep breath.He was probably bewitched…After arriving home, Gu Changqing first dismounted, then picked up Gu Yan, carrying him down and took all the items from Gu Yan’s arms inside, placing them on the stone table in the front courtyard.“I’m leaving.” He came out and said.Gu Yan looked at him with hopeful eyes, “Won’t you stay for dinner? My sister is a great cook.”That girl colder than an assassin?It was hard for Gu Changqing to imagine what her cooking would be like.He glanced at the kitchen behind the passageway, a flicker of desire in his eyes, but eventually resisted, “No, I should head home.”“Oh.” Gu Yan appeared disappointed.Gu Changqing mounted his horse and glanced at Gu Yan, “Go inside.”“Okay.” Gu Yan nodded but didn’t move, watching him ride away until he disappeared at the end of the alley. Then, with a spring in his step, he cheerfully entered the house.That’s right.What ankle sprain?None at all!—“Alright, your foot is fine now. Rest in b

“Humph!”Gu Yan turned his back!He’s so angry that the tuft of hair on the top of his head was standing up, expressing its displeasure in the cold wind!Gu Changqing chuckled lightly.His voice was cold and magnetic, and particularly irresistible when he laughed.Gu Yan’s little eyes attempted to glance back.Then he began to walk away.After only one step, Gu Changqing noticed something was off: “What’s wrong with your leg?”Gu Yan pouted and mumbled, “Nothing, just a little twist.”Their home was right in the middle of the alleyway, not too far but not too close to where they were now. An average person would definitely limp all the way home, but this was Gu Yan.Looking at his frail and skinny body, Gu Changqing let out an involuntary sigh: “Get on.”“Huh?” Gu Yan glanced back, displaying a devious yet feigning innocent face, looking utterly conflicted.Gu Changqing was reminded of the dopey roe deer in the woods, only this one seemed slightly arrogant.Gu Changqing, with his broa
