This time, the Gu Family could be considered to have suffered a serious injury, and forty taels of silver had also been confiscated from their assets. Furthermore, the public image that Gu Dashun had painstakingly created, this time, had collapsed as well.
For a long time to come, the Gu Family should not have the strength to come to their doorstep and pick fault with them.
Gu Jiao was very cheerful that she ate half a bowl more during dinner.
There was a little snow this afternoon, but it wasn’t heavy and it stopped after a while. It didn’t affect the road, though it was a little cold. When Xiao Liulang got home, his hands were freezing.
Gu Jiao hurriedly handed him the ginger soup she boiled.
Ginger Soup
Even though he was already freezing like this, the way he drank the ginger soup was still neither too slow nor too fast. Such natural nobility and elegance should run deep in his bones.
Gu Jiao watched him unblinkingly.
"What's the matter?" Xiao Liulang turned to her and asked.
Gu Jiao, who was caught in the act, was not the slightest embarrassed. She smiled and said, "Nothing, drink it well. I'll bring the meal!"
Gu Jiao brought out the food she heated up in the pot and called the elderly woman to have dinner.
Halfway through the meal, an unexpected visitor came knocking at their door.
"I'll go check." Gu Jiao put down her bowl and chopsticks.
"I'll do it." Xiao Liulang stood up one step ahead of her on his crutch.
"Eat your food." The elderly woman said to Gu Jiao.
Although the elderly woman knew that Xiao Liulang was her grandnephew and Gu Jiao was only her grandniece-in-law, she had never been partial to Xiao Liulang.
Gu Jiao continued to eat her food. Xiao Liulang took off the latch and opened the door. He found that it was not the villagers but a pair of young master and servant standing outside the door.
The young master was dressed luxuriously and was noble in temperament. At first glance, you could tell that he was from a wealthy family.
Xiao Liulang was somewhat surprised by the unexpected visitors. Of course, the other party’s shock wasn't any less. They came looking for the Gu Family’s miss and never expected for a young man to open the door instead.
The young man was wearing the white uniform of Tianxiang Academy, and his whole body exuded a clean temperament, as though free from all vulgarity. He had refined facial features, simply a picturesque appearance.
To find such a young man as exquisite as jade in such a poor and remote area, was indeed surprising. The pair of young master and servant were stunned for a moment.
The young master finally opened his mouth and said, "May I ask... Is this Miss Gu's home?"
"I wonder who is his Excellency? For what reason are you looking for my wife?" Xiao Liulang asked coldly.
Wife?
The young master was stupefied again and then he replied, "My surname is Qin..."
“Young Gentleman Qin?” Gu Jiao came over at some time and looked at the young man outside the door curiously, "Why are you here?"
When Young Gentleman Qin saw that it was her, he was so scared that he almost turned around and ran away. He said, "I should ask you this! Why are you here!?"
Gu Jiao said, "This is my house. Where should I be if not here?"
"How can that be..." Midway through his sentence, Young Gentleman Qin suddenly realized something and gaped, "You... Are you... Miss Gu?"
Gu Jiao raised an eyebrow and stroked her chin, saying, "So you don't know who I am."
The foolish original soul had been pestering him for so long, and yet he did not even inquire about the identity of the original soul.
Xiao Liulang's expression turned cold. He glanced at Young Gentleman Qin coldly and entered the house without looking back!
Gu Jiao: "Ai——"
Somehow, she felt that her husband was angry!
At that moment, Young Gentleman Qin discovered Xiao Liulang's leg problem, and thought to himself: I say, how can such a handsome young man marry a little fool who lacked virtue? He turned out to be a cripple.
"What are you doing in my house?" Gu Jiao asked in a cold tone.
Young Gentleman Qin then discovered another thing. That was, the little fool's eyes seemed to no longer possess her previous enthusiasm for him. Also, this little fool didn't look like a fool at all.
"Speak if you’ve got something to say. If there’s nothing, then take care, I won’t see you out." After saying that, Gu Jiao was about to close the door.
Young Gentleman Qin recovered from his stupor and pressed the door still, "I came to ask if you found a letter?"
The silver in the bundle was picked up by Zhou shi and Liu shi, but the letter inside was missing. It must have been thrown into the street at random. When the constables couldn't find it, they thought of the Gu Family’s miss who had come back to the scene, thinking that she might have found it.
The constables didn't tell him that the Gu Family’s miss was the little fool of Qingquan Village, otherwise Young Gentleman Qin wouldn't have come here personally.
After hearing Young Gentleman Qin's words, Gu Jiao was surprised.
To be honest, she didn't expect the owner of the stolen stuff to be him. In her dream, she was focused solely on Xiao Liulang. How could she still remember what the victim looked like?
But she did find the letter.
Gu Jiao walked into her room and then came out with the letter in hand, asking, "Do you mean this?"
Young Gentleman Qin's eyes lit up, "You really found it! But why didn't you tell the constable?"
Gu Jiao spread out her hands and answered, "The constable didn't ask."
That... That was true.
The constable had forgotten.
"Here." Gu Jiao generously gave him the letter.
Young Gentleman Qin quickly took the letter which was still sealed with wax and showed no sign of being opened.
To regain something he had lost was such a pleasant thing that Young Gentleman Qin instantly changed his attitude towards her. Perhaps she did those stupid things only because her brain wasn’t very bright, but she was actually not bad in nature. She was a good girl who would return other’s property to their owner.
"Many thanks!" Young Gentleman Qin said sincerely.
Gu Jiao cast him a sideways glance and said casually, "Just a verbal thank you?"
Young Gentleman Qin froze.
Gu Jiao smiled faintly, "How about you give me something more substantial, such as silver?"
Young Gentleman Qin was petrified.
Where was the good girl who would return other’s property to their owner?
A quarter of an hour later, Gu Jiao walked into the house with one hundred taels of silver in her hands. This was three times as much money that Zhou shi and Liu shi brought back, and it was even willingly given by Young Gentleman Qin. It was from a reasonable and legal source!
"Huh? What about husband?" Gu Jiao asked the elderly woman.
The elderly woman pouted her lips, pointing towards Xiao Liulang's room.
Gu Jiao pushed the door and entered his room.
Xiao Liulang was copying books with a cold expression on his face.
Gu Jiao held the money she extorted… Er, no, she received and placed it on Xiao Liulang's desk.
But Xiao Liulang didn't even look at it.
Gu Jiao said in a low voice, "Are you angry?"
Xiao Liulang indifferently turned his back on her and ignored Gu Jiao.
Such an ‘unfriendly on the outside, but warm on the inside’ little appearance, Gu Jiao really found it too adorable.
Gu Jiao moved closer, bent down her waist, and whispered in his ear, "Say, how could I be so blind at such a young age? Clearly, he is so ugly... "
Xiao Liulang's eyelids trembled slightly.
At such a short distance, all her breath fell on his earlobe.
Gu Jiao whispered gently, "I didn't know it was his letter. I just picked it up casually and even forgot about it afterward. He just came to get the letter, and I even cheated a hundred taels of silver out of him."
All the unhappiness in Xiao Liulang's heart disappeared in the last sentence.
She actually extorted money from Young Gentleman Qin. It seemed she had indeed given up on him.
Actually, he shouldn't be angry. Their relationship as husband and wife wasn’t real. He would leave her and leave this place one day. What about her and Young Gentleman Qin? He didn't mind it before and shouldn't mind it now.
Only, he himself couldn’t explain it. He didn't know what that anger just now was all about.
Gu Jiao coaxed him gently, "Don't be angry anymore. I won't look at him again in the future."
"You can look at him as you please." Xiao Liulang said coldly.
Gu Jiao smiled and whispered into his ear, "But he’s not as good-looking as you."
Xiao Liulang,“…”

Everyone But Me Is Reborn
Her father is a coward and senselessly filial. Her mother is weak and gullible. Her elder brother is a wastrel.
When she married into the Wangfu, she suffered and was coldly treated. And by the time she was in labour, she was fated to die with the unborn child in her belly.
This was supposed to be Ning Nuan's life.
However this time, everyone but her is reborn.
Ning Nuan is at a loss. She felt that her dad has suddenly become the pillar of the family, her mother’s temper became fierce, and even her elder brother, who would only walk the dogs and play with birds all day, has begun picking up books and reading them carefully.
There is also that juvenile that shows up at the wall of her courtyard everyday, calling her “Ah Nuan, Ah Nuan” with an honest face.
