Chapter 392: 201 Witness Testimony (Updated)_2
The Fourth Prince didn’t know much about the Marquis Residence, he had only met Gu Jinyu.
Prince An added: “I just left the palace, and I heard that the emperor is looking for some of you, I’m not sure if there’s anything urgent.”
After hearing this, how could the Fourth Prince still be in the mood to flirt with beauties?
The Fourth Prince looked deeply at Prince An and Gu Jiao, then boarded his carriage and left.
Prince An turned his head to look at Gu Jiao, his demeanor gentle and his voice soft, “That was the current Fourth Prince.”
Seeing that she wasn’t surprised, Prince An delayed for a moment, then laughed, “Makes sense.”
She certainly wasn’t some flower in a greenhouse, it would take more than a random man to trick her into a carriage.
“Do you want to go back to the Medical Hall?” he asked.
“Hmm,” Gu Jiao nodded.
As Prince An was about to offer to take her, there was a sound overhead, a tile from the eaves had fallen.
Gu Jiao was surrounded by the wall on one side, the carriage on the other, and Prince An in front, there was nowhere for her to hide.
Prince An stepped forward, using his towering figure to shelter her, blocking the falling tile.
However, the expected pain didn’t come, he blinked, then looked up to find that the tile was nailed to the carriage’s roof by a silver needle in Gu Jiao’s hand.
Prince An was speechless.
With a resigned laugh, he stepped back and said, “Lady Gu, were you always this amazing? You don’t even allow someone to play the hero.”
Guozijian, school’s out for Xiao Liulang.
As he walked out, he saw Gu Jiao waiting for him under the big tree with a small basket on her back.
She also held two stacks of medicine packs in her hands, one stack on each side.
Although the weather had cleared, it was still not warm, especially after sunset, the street side wind became colder.
Xiao Liulang hastened to her with his crutch, “Why didn’t you wear more clothes?”
“It wasn’t cold when I left home,” she said.
So, she was cold now.
Xiao Liulang quickly picked up on the message in her words, he took off his cloak, intending to give it to Gu Jiao.
However, Gu Jiao glanced at the medicine packs in her hands, clearly indicating that both hands were full.
People around them were looking over.
Despite the attention, Xiao Liulang draped the cloak around her, gently tying the silk ribbon with his slender fingertips.
“Liulang, your wife is here to pick you up again?” a student, who had become acquainted with Xiao Liulang through Fen Lin, teased as he walked by.
“Hmm,” Xiao Liulang replied vaguely.
Gu Jiao looked at him with sparkling eyes.
A look that said, am I your wife? Really? Really? Really?
Xiao Liulang coughed lightly and averted his gaze, “Time to go home.”
Gu Jiao followed him, slowly walking towards the exit.
Suddenly, a pile of snow fell from the tree above.
Xiao Liulang pulled her into his arms, with one arm raised to shield her head, and snow fell onto his arm.
She was motionless in his arms, looking at him with wide eyes, almost unbearably adorable.
This demeanor was too deceptive. Even Xiao Liulang, who was with her day and night, was taken aback, a surge of warmth spreading in his chest.
She was too cute, he couldn’t handle it.
Xiao Liulang’s breathing became chaotic, and he quickly turned his face away.
However, Gu Jiao rested her little head against his chest and exclaimed, “Your heart is beating really fast.”
Xiao Liulang stepped back quickly, “No, it’s not!”
Gu Jiao looked at his flushed ears, “Yes, it is.”
Xiao Liulang stated firmly, “If I say it’s not, then it’s not!”
After saying those words, he fled in a panic but took the wrong path due to his nervousness and ran into a tree.
Gu Jiao burst out laughing!
As the spring exams passed, the atmosphere at home became much more relaxed. The grandmother went out to play cards, making sure to take her “old partner” with her. If they lost, it was the “old partner’s” fault, if they won, the credit was all hers.
Every day after school, Gu Yan and Gu Xiaoshun would go to the Lun Family to learn crafts, and they would eat dinner there too.
Truth be told, their teacher’s cooking skills weren’t great, on par with Xiao Liulang’s. But they had to eat it out of respect for their teacher.
Xiaoshun, ever since making his first friend in Guozijian, would always spend his post-school time playing. And today was no different.
Compared to academics, Gu Jiao felt that Xiaoshun lacked interaction with his peers, thus she greatly supported his post-school activities.
However, today, there was an extra person in the duo’s group – Qin Chuyu.
Xiaoshun looked at him confused, “Why is he here?”
Xu Zhuzhu whispered, “Sigh, my dad insisted I bring him along, it’s really bothersome.”
