Gu Chengfeng stumbled out and his whole person pounced into the snow right at Gu Changqing’s feet!

Gu Changqing：“…”

Gu Chengfeng：“…”

Gu Chengfeng was careless. He didn't expect that little girl to be so nasty. After taking an IOU from him, she still kicked him out in the end!

Gu Changqing frowned and looked curiously at his younger brother lying on the ground, "What are you doing?"

As soon as he spoke, Gu Jiao came out of the cabin.

Gu Changqing’s expression looked even weirder.

Gu Chengfeng had never been so tricked and humiliated like this before.

This girl... Was this her revenge on him for scheming against her the other day?

Gu Chengfeng got up from the snow in anger, took a glance at Gu Jiao, and said angrily, "Nothing, I just accidentally fell."

Gu Changqing asked, "Why are you here?"

Gu Chengfeng answered, "I’m picking fruits for third brother."

There was indeed a basket and scattered red fruits on the ground, which were fruits Gu Chenglin liked to eat. Gu Changqing also picked them for him sometimes.

Gu Changqing looked at Gu Jiao next, asking, "What about you?"

"Pa.s.sing by." Gu Jiao replied.

Pa.s.sing by? Gu Changqing looked at the traces of fighting in the snow and thought to himself that the two must have fought.

But soon, he felt that this guess wasn’t reliable.

He had seen Gu Jiao's skills before, and it was more than enough to beat a weak scholar like Gu Chengfeng.

Therefore, if she had truly fought Gu Chengfeng, Gu Chengfeng would have been dead by now.

"Did you see anyone else here?" Gu Changqing concluded that some other experts had been here.

Gu Chengfeng decisively denied, "No!"

Gu Jiao came to the Wutong tree and slowly reached out a hand to pluck the hidden weapons from the tree trunk while hooking up the corner of her lips wickedly.

Gu Chengfeng's eyelids jumped, "One thousand taels of silver!"

Gu Changqing frowned at his younger brother, "What are you saying? What one thousand taels of silver?"

Cold sweat broke out all over Gu Chengfeng's body. He looked back at his older brother, and said after a brief pause, "I… I’ve been wanting to buy something, and it costs one thousand taels of silver."

"What thing is so expensive?" Gu Changqing asked.

Their family didn’t lack money. He always made sure that his two younger brothers weren't mistreated in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation. However, there was a limit to everything. Being too indulgent wasn’t good as well.

With his expression looking as usual, Gu Chengfeng opened his mouth and said, "It's an antique piece of calligraphy."

Gu Jiao put the pulled out hidden weapon in her pocket.

Soon, she looked at the second hidden weapon and revealed another evil smile.

Gu Chengfeng felt worse, "Another, another one thousand taels!"

Gu Changqing doubted whether this younger brother took the wrong medicine.

Gu Changqing raised his hand and touched his forehead.

No fever.

Just a sweat.

"... I remember wrong! The other party said it cost two thousand taels of silver!" Gu Chengfeng tried his best to lie his way out, "I wonder, eldest brother, do you have any money to lend me?"

Gu Changqing sternly refused, "No, don't buy such expensive things!"

Gu Chengfeng: "Oh."

Gu Jiao pulled out the second hidden weapon and put it into her pocket as well. Then, she took out her small notebook and charcoal pen, came to Gu Chengfeng and said, "I’m not that literate and can't write some words. Please help me write them."

Gu Chengfeng gritted his teeth and took the small notebook and charcoal pen from her hands.

The character 川 formed between Gu Changqing’s eyebrows.

Gu Chengfeng swiftly made adjustments to the IOU, and then returned the small notebook and charcoal pen to Gu Jiao.

Gu Jiao put it away with satisfaction.

Just then, Gu Jinyu also came.

"Sister! Eldest brother? Second brother?" She gave them a salute with a look of surprise, as if she hadn't seen them here beforehand.

Neither brother was very happy at the moment.

Gu Chengfeng was blackmailed for three thousand taels of silver in total.

As for Gu Changqing, his reasons for feeling angry were unknown.

The two of them didn't pay Gu Jinyu any attention and simply left with a cold look.

When Gu Changqing pa.s.sed by Gu Jiao, not clear what he was thinking, he paused for a bit, turned back to look at her and said, "I… I also had an education!"

Gu Jiao：“…”

After the two brothers left, Gu Jinyu stepped forward and asked, "Sister, what are you doing here? What did eldest brother and second brother just talk with you about? Second brother seems to have written something for you. What did he write?"

"Nothing." Gu Jiao said as she tied the ribbon of her pouch.

Gu Jinyu pinched her finger together. Ever since the incident with the broken porcelain vase, her three older brothers in the family hadn’t spoken to her for a long time. But just now, she saw her eldest brother and second brother talking to Gu Jiao here for a long time.

She tightly squeezed the handkerchief in her hands and said softly to Gu Jiao, "Sister, mother doesn't like us a.s.sociating with our three older brothers. Don't talk to them or get close to them again in the future, or else mother will be unhappy."

"Let’s go back." Gu Jiao didn't answer her and simply turned towards the direction of the plum blossom garden.
