The officer asked, “Is there only one basement? What’s over there?”The innkeeper replied, “Over there is also a basement, very small, used for storing miscellaneous items.”The officer looked at the chaotic scene and asked, “Is there anyone in the small storage room?”The first maid impatiently said, “How could there be anyone there?”Had she checked it thoroughly?The second maid tugged at her sleeve, hinting that she had spoken out of turn.She cleared her throat and said, “Stop dawdling! Our lady’s suffering down there, can’t you hear her struggling to speak?”The fact that she was struggling to speak meant that she could still talk.Indeed, although she was buried underneath, she was not injured and could slightly move.Gu Jiao in the small storage room, was in a much worse situation. Two slabs of stone formed a wedge that pinned her in the middle, with a massive slab sitting on top of the wedge.Because of the weight of the slab, the two smaller stones were being forced sideways

“Thank you, Brother Xiao, I can finally have a good New Year. I’ll seek your help again next time!” A student from Guozijian bid farewell to Xiao Liulang as he saw him out of the mansion.This person was Fen Lin’s classmate and a year junior to Xiao Liulang. His entry via a backdoor, combined with mediocre talent, often made him anxious to impress his numerous relatives during holidays. But with the poems and prose written by Xiao Liulang, he wouldn’t have to fear coming up short.Xiao Liulang tailored his writings to this person’s level, ensuring that they were neither ostentatious nor underwhelming.“Excuse me.” Xiao Liulang kept his farewell brief, leaving the mansion on his own.The sky was overcast and seemed colder than before.Xiao Liulang climbed into his carriage, headed toward the patient that Gu Jiao was tending to.The woman saw him and said, “She’s already left; she said she was going to get some candied haws across the street.”She pointed to the syrup shop diagonally op

ba.Sigh.Quite dissapointed.Xiao Jingkong unwillingly accepts the fact that his bad brother-in-law is still human, for now.Xiao Liulang wears a confused expression.What’s going on?Did he disappoint him just because he didn’t play with him and their dog early in the morning?He hadn’t even blamed him for arbitrarily changing the dog’s name.Gu Jiao went to the kitchen to make breakfast.After eating, as Gu Jiao heads to clear the dishes, Xiao Liulang says, “I’ll do it.”The old lady brazenly says, “No need, go about your business, someone else will clean up.”That someone is the old priest.After the looting of his private savings and the invasion of his room, the old priest’s life started revolving around being ruthlessly exploited by the old lady.There was a lot going on at home these days, and Gu Jiao stopped visiting the Medical Hall. Only today, a little patient on Vermilion Bird Avenue, who had been sutured, needed her stitches removed.Gu Jiao packed her small bag and left

Fen Lin, suddenly abandoned by his brothers: “….”Last New Year’s Eve was a bit rushed, one because Gu Jiao had just arrived not long ago and was still in a daze and had not fully adapted to her identity…well, actually she was just broke.The second reason was also being broke.This year, they are not so broke anymore.Xiao Liulang had made quite a bit of money from Lin Chengye’s business, the money he earned in the county had been invested in mining, and the money he made in the Capital City had been invested in a medical hall. But Xiao Liulang had more sources of income apart from Lin Chengye’s business.He occasionally wrote articles and poems for others and managed to earn a hundred taels of silver.A hundred taels of silver was not a small amount. It could buy a mansion in the county. He gave thirty taels for Xiaojingkong’s rent for the month, and gave the remaining seventy taels to Gu Jiao for household expenses.Xiaojingkong didn’t leave after receiving the rent, he stayed in t

Marquis Xuanping held the fox-fur hand warmer in his hands, nonchalantly getting into the carriage.Observers would find it hard to associate this serene and graceful man with a first-rank warlord who orchestrates strategies from behind the scenes, winning battles from thousands of miles away.“To the residence,” he ordered.The carriage started moving.The horses of Marquis Xuanping’s residence were reputed to cover a thousand li in a day, their mere presence often intimidating other horses on the road into retreating.The cold wind bit harshly, ruffling the elaborately embroidered curtains of the carriage.Marquis Xuanping sat in the carriage with his eyes closed, seemingly in deep thought.However, sensing something, he opened his eyes and said, “Stop the carriage.”The carriage halted.Xuanping lifted the curtain to look back. Besides an ordinary-looking carriage, there was nothing else to see.“My Lord, is something amiss?” one of his personal guards asked.His expression dubious
