Gu Jiao worked with Gu Chengfeng all night, and only before dawn did Gu Jiao let him go.

Gu Chengfeng spent the whole night doing hard labor and being afraid. He was so tormented that his eyes no longer felt like eyes and his nose no longer felt like a nose.

But when he thought of the 1,000 taels that he earned, he felt it was worth all the effort.

Gu Chengfeng: Oh, that’s right! I still have to tell my third brother that his baldness can be cured.

Gu Chengfeng made his way back to the Marquis Estate exhausted but excited.

Like before, Gu Chenglin still lived in his courtyard.

Gu Chengfeng didn't bother to change his clothes and directly strode to Gu Chenglin's room.

"Third brother." He was about to raise his hand to knock on the door when he heard the door creaking and saw it being pulled open from the inside.

Gu Chenglin, wearing a hat, looked at Gu Chengfeng with a stunned look on his face, "Huh? Second brother? You’ve woken so early?"

Gu Chengfeng frowned, "And you? Why are you up so early?"

Gu Chenglin cleared his throat, "I'm going to the medical hall."

Gu Chengfeng: "What are you going to do in the medical hall?"

Gu Chenglin: "To get treated, the part of my hair that doesn’t grow."

He refused to say the word bald.

Gu Chengfeng frowned oddly. That’s not right. I don't think I've talked to my third brother about curing his baldness yet? How did third brother know about it? Could it be that their pair of brothers... have a strong telepathic connection?

Gu Chenglin said, "Second brother, I'm leaving."

"You’re going just like that?" No more explanations?

Gu Chenglin didn't understand what he meant, thinking that he was simply worried about himself. After pondering for a moment, he said, "Don't worry about the money. I've already given it."

Gu Chengfeng wondered, "To whom? How much did you give?"

Gu Chenglin curled his lips, "Who else can I give it to? It’s to that girl, 1200 taels. "

Wait, this number was a bit familiar.

Gu Chengfeng gave him a suspicious look, "Where did you get 1200 taels?"

Gu Chenglin let out an ‘oh’ then said, "I took it from your room."

Gu Chengfeng almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood——

That was all he had, stupid brother!

He just knew it! How could that girl suddenly become so generous! He really thought he had earned 1,000 taels of silver! In the end, it was him who had been cheated off 200 taels!

Ah, ah, ah! He really wanted to die!

Gu Jiao, who got a new mask and 200 taels of silver from Gu Chengfeng, returned to Bishui Alley with satisfaction.

Grannie Fang was already busy working in the kitchen.

After Yao s.h.i.+ and Grannie Fang moved here, Gu Jiao had much less housework to do, saving the time for making breakfast, which she then used to exercise by herself or trained with Little Jing Kong.

Xiao Liulang recently had to attend the morning cla.s.ses of the Imperial Academy and had been leaving before dawn, which was the case today as well.

Little Jing Kong was training in the backyard.

Gu Jiao trained with him for a while. Compared to when she first arrived here, her body had gotten much more flexible. She was now able to do backbending and splits with ease.

There was no cla.s.s in Qinghe Academy today. Gu Yan and Gu Xiaoshun were both still sleeping in their rooms.

Gu Jiao didn't wake them up. After having breakfast with Yao s.h.i.+ and Little Jing Kong, he sent Little Jing Kong to the Imperial Academy.

Walking into the alley, they met Uncle Zhao's eldest daughter-in-law, He s.h.i.+, and grandson Zhao Xiaobao.

He s.h.i.+ chased Zhao Xiaobao all over the yard to feed him.

"Xiaobao." Little Jing Kong pa.s.sed by their gate and said h.e.l.lo to him.

"Brother Jing Kong." Zhao Xiaobao greeted him back, and then ran away to avoid his mother.

Gu Jiao never mentioned this topic with Little Jing Kong before because she felt it was a bit sensitive. However, the arrival of Yu Qinw.a.n.g and Qinw.a.n.gfei forced her to seriously pay attention to this issue.

“Jing Kong.”

"Hm? JiaoJiao?” Little Jing Kong looked up at her with adorable eyes.

Gu Jiao asked, "Do you want to have parents?"

Little Jing Kong went ‘oh’ and said, "Jing Kong already has! JiaoJiao's parents is Jing Kong's parents!"

Gu Jiao momentarily paused before saying, "I mean, your real father and mother, your real parents."

Little Jing Kong stopped and looked at Gu Jiao with a hurt expression, "JiaoJiao doesn't want me anymore?"

This one question made Gu Jiao's heart feel as if it had been pierced by something.

She was so abrupt about it that she forgot that he was actually a sensitive and fragile little fellow.

Gu Jiao stroked his little head, "How could that be? You’re so adorable that I haven’t had enough time to like you."

"I knew it!" Little Jing Kong bounced about and became cheerful again.

After sending the little guy to the Imperial Academy, Gu Jiao made a trip to the imperial garden instead of going to the medical hall.

Yu Qinw.a.n.g didn't enter the palace today either. He stayed in the imperial garden with Yu Qinw.a.n.gfei.

Yu Qinw.a.n.gfei was so excited thinking that she could take her son back soon that she was unable to sleep all night.

She made a pair of shoes for her son overnight. She was a w.a.n.gfei, and this kind of thing was normally left for the servants to do. Therefore, her workmans.h.i.+p was rusty and the shoes she made were really not praiseworthy.

Holding these ugly shoes, she asked her husband shyly and joyfully, "w.a.n.gye, do you think he will like…?"

Yu Qinw.a.n.g looked at the shoes in his wife's hands and said, "You did a good job. He will surely like them. He is a sensible child."

"I mean us!" Yu Qinw.a.n.gfei looked at him with trepidation, "We haven't been with him for so many years. What if he doesn't like us? What if he doesn't want to go back with us?"

Yu Qinw.a.n.g shook his wife's hand, his eyes having a deep look, "Don't worry, we can definitely bring him back."

Yu Qinw.a.n.gfei's suspended heart went back to her chest, "I'm going to build him another small courtyard... He's still young, so he should sleep with us for the time being, but he should also have his own courtyard. We can’t let people look down on him... A sword practice platform can also be built later..."

Yu Qinw.a.n.gfei chattered on and on, her eyes full of longing as she looked forward to taking her son back to the State of Liang.

Yu Qinw.a.n.g looked at her quietly and responded from time to time.

Suddenly, a servant came to report, "w.a.n.gye, w.a.n.gfei, there's a person outside who claims to be Young Miss Gu."

"Young Miss Gu? Is it Jing Kong's sister? Did you tell her who we are?" Yesterday, Yu Qinw.a.n.gfei was so stirred up that she pa.s.sed out, and when she woke up, she was already back in the imperial garden. She kind of knew what Yu Qinw.a.n.g and Gu Jiao must have talked about after she fainted, because her husband a.s.sured her that everything was settled.

Yu Qinw.a.n.g frowned slightly.

He did not reveal his ident.i.ty to her.

Half an hour later, Gu Jiao appeared in the drawing room.

Yu Qinw.a.n.g looked at Gu Jiao, and this time, there was more inquiry and scrutiny under his gaze.

Only then did he realize that Gu Jiao, despite her flawed appearance, was not at all timid. She behaved calmly and naturally, not at all like a humble little medical woman.

Yu Qinw.a.n.gfei had a fond feeling for Gu Jiao. She greeted her with a smile, "Young Miss Gu, you come so early, have you had your breakfast yet? I’ll have people set the table."

"No, I have already eaten." Gu Jiao lightly refused, "I came here today to talk to you."
