Just as Qiao Xi was muttering in her heart, Gu Zheng suddenly coughed.

Liang Pingchuan knew that Gu Zheng must have heard something. Moreover, Little Six did not know this secret. He did not know what nonsense she was thinking about in her mind.

He looked up at Gu Zheng and realized that he was also looking at him. The two of them looked away.

Qiao Xi suddenly said, “Teacher, you seemed to have something to tell me just now. What do I not know?”

Liang Pingchuan hesitated. He wanted to tell Little Six that using blood to save someone had side effects. The other party would be able to hear her thoughts.

Now…

Liang Pingchuan frowned.

Gu Zheng seemed to enjoy this kind of feeling. If he told her about this, would it not ruin the fun between the couple?

Hence, he cleared his throat and said, “I don’t remember.”

Qiao Xi sighed. “Alas, you’re old now and your memory isn’t good anymore.”

Liang Pingchuan: “…”

Little brat!

When Liang Pingchuan left, he instructed in a low voice, “Little Six, we’re not on the mountain now. You have to restrain yourself outside. Don’t—”

‘Don’t keep thinking nonsense. There’s no need to pretend to be weak on the surface.’

However, before he could finish his sentence, Qiao Xi said with a puzzled expression, “Restrain myself? Gu Zheng is very good to me!”

Liang Pingchuan: “…” ‘You don’t understand me!’

He looked at Gu Zheng with a meaningful gaze and wanted to say something, but he suddenly saw a very ordinary-looking jade token hanging on Qiao Xi’s neck. His entire body instantly trembled.

This was…

Liang Pingchuan looked up in shock. “President Gu? You gave this to her?”

Gu Zheng’s expression was calm. “I gave her a small gift.”

Qiao Xi nodded. “Yes, Teacher, what’s strange about it?”

It was just a jade token. Compared to the other gifts Gu Zheng had given her, this was considered cheap. However, the center of the jade token was empty. It was just enough to hold a few silver needles. If necessary, it could be used as a concealed weapon.

Liang Pingchuan: “!!!” This jade token was the Husband’s Decree of the Gu family! How could Little Six not know this?

Liang Pingchuan had heard of the Husband’s Decree. It was something only the mistress of the Gu family could possess. A Husband’s Decree could command the entire Gu family.

The Gu family’s a.s.sets were owned by the head of the family and the madam who held the Husband’s Decree. With the Husband’s Decree, it meant that Little Six owned half of the Gu family’s a.s.sets.

Rumor had it that the Husband’s Decree was lost and no mistress had received it in the past hundred years.

Liang Pingchuan thought that the Gu family had long since abolished the Husband’s Decree. Who would have thought that Gu Zheng would actually give it to Qiao Xi?

Most importantly… she did not know!

Liang Pingchuan was speechless. “President Gu, I’m afraid that’s not appropriate.”

Little Six was holding the Husband’s Decree. If someone were to see this, they would definitely think of ways to deal with her.

Gu Zheng said indifferently, “There’s nothing wrong with it.”

Liang Pingchuan was about to retort when Gu Zheng said seriously, “Since I gave it to her, it means that I can protect her.”

She was the person most qualified to hold the Husband’s Decree.

Liang Pingchuan took a deep breath and waved his hand to get Qiao Xi to leave his side. He lowered his voice and asked, “President Gu, Little Six is stubborn by nature. She grew up on the mountain and hates being tied down. Even with the Husband’s Decree and the blood treatment, you can’t control her.”

Gu Zheng understood Liang Pingchuan’s intentions, so he promised, “Mr. Liang, I’m not trying to control her, but I think she has the right to hold the Husband’s Decree. I also have the ability to protect her without worry, and the blood treatment…”

Liang Pingchuan thought that Gu Zheng would promise not to hurt Little Six because of her blood.

However, Gu Zheng became serious. “I won’t take her blood anymore, much less let her be injured.”

That time, he had lost consciousness because of the poison and allowed Qiao Xi to save him with her blood.

If his poison remained a mystery, wouldn’t he have to continue taking Qiao Xi’s blood? It might even cause irreversible harm to her.

Gu Zheng could not bear to see her take such a risk.

Liang Pingchuan’s heart trembled as he sighed. “Alright, bring Little Six home, then.”

The man Little Six had taken a liking to was really not bad. After all, they had known each other for ten years.. He was bold and responsible. He was a good man!
