Also, many thanks to everyone who bought me coffee (*≧∀≦*)

At the period of Yous.h.i.+, the Imperial Academy and Qinghe Academy finished their cla.s.ses.

Gu Xiaoshun went to Nan Xiang and Master Lu’s place to attend his craftsmans.h.i.+p lessons after school while Gu Yan took a leave of absence on the grounds of physical discomfort.

Naturally, he wasn’t really feeling unwell. He deliberately took an absent in order to implement his Anti-Brother-in-Law Righteous Alliance’s plan with Little Jing Kong.

"Why isn’t that little monk back yet?" Gu Yan paced back and forth in the yard.

Yao s.h.i.+ asked humorously, "Feeling better now?"

Gu Yan cleared his throat and replied: "I, I just caught a little cold, but I'm much better now."

Yao s.h.i.+ knew that he had skipped cla.s.s on purpose, but she didn't say anything because of his physical condition.

Yao s.h.i.+’s belly was getting bigger and bigger. Gu Yan didn’t feel hot, but she felt so much heat that she was sweating all over, so she went back to the house and took a bath.

Gu Yan lingered around at the gate. It was unknown how long he had been standing in wait there when he finally saw the little monk come back.

"Why are you so late?" Gu Yan asked.

Little Jing Kong sighed like a grown-up and replied, "Isn't it because Granduncle was too slow? I told him I could come back by myself, but he wasn’t at ease and made me wait for him."

The Imperial Academy was not far from Bishui Alley, and Little Jing Kong walked there every day. He wouldn't get lost even if he closed his eyes.

But adults and children always had different ideas. His safety zone was just this alley, and the adults in the family wouldn't feel at ease if he went a little further.

Gu Yan looked at the two ends of the alley and took Little Jing Kong's hand, saying, "Okay, let's not talk about that. Sister and brother-in-law will be back soon."

This meant that they would start doing something bad in secret.

However, since it was their first time, they had to plan carefully.

The medical hall and Hanlin Academy were not busy today, so Gu Jiao and Xiao Liulang got home early. After they arrived home, Xiao Liulang went to the study to check Little Jing Kong's homework.

He did his homework faster than Gu Yan so Xiao Liulang usually checked his homework first.

At the same time, Gu Jiao went to the kitchen.

Gu Yan squinted his eyes and secretly peeked into the kitchen from outside, only to find that his sister was actually making salted soft bean curd!

Ah!

She had become addicted to sending soft bean curd to brother-in-law, hadn’t she?

She was even making the soft bean curd herself, unbelievable!

Gu Yan's heart was churning in a sea of vinegar. Little Jing Kong used the excuse of taking a pee to sneak out of the study. The two little troublemakers hid behind the jujube tree and exchanged information they had gathered.

Little Jing Kong said fiercely, "JiaoJiao went to Hanlin Academy to pick up bad brother-in-law. They went home together!"

Gu Yan was so angry. His sister didn't even pick him up or send him to school!

Gu Yan gritted his teeth and said, "Sister is making salted soft bean curd for brother-in-law again! There is no share for us!"

Little Jing Kong was struck with an idea!

"JiaoJiao! Granduncle is calling you!" Little Jing Kong came to the kitchen and said cutely to Gu Jiao.

Gu Jiao put down the spoon and said, "Oh, okay, I'll go over."

As soon as she left, the two little troublemakers sneaked in.

They glanced at each other with mischievous smiles, picked up the seasoning jar, and poured it into the soft bean curd!

"Add some salt!"

"Chili sauce!"

"Star anise!"

"Sichuan pepper!"

"And this!" Gu Yan grabbed a jar from the bottom of the cupboard, "Lotus seed hearts, super bitter!"

Little Jing Kong pretended to be overwhelmed by bitterness, rolling his eyes and falling to the ground, then he got up and laughed so hard that his whole body trembled!

After they finished their mischief, just as they put the last jar back in the cupboard, Gu Jiao returned. She said in puzzlement, "Granduncle didn't call me just now."

Little Jing Kong spread his hands innocently and said, "Ah, maybe I heard it wrong!"

"But what are you two doing here?" Gu Jiao asked.

The two people had a twinkle in their eyes.

Gu Yan remained calm and said, "Oh, didn't you make salted soft bean curd for brother-in-law? We can help you bring it over!"

Little Jing Kong echoed, "Yes! We’ll bring it to brother-in-law for JiaoJiao! "

Gu Jiao let out a cry and said, "The soft bean curd is not for your brother-in-law, but for you two. Last time, I only bought soft bean curd for your brother-in-law and didn't get any for you two. You seemed disappointed, so I came back early today to personally make you a bowl of it. You came at the right time, hurry up and eat!"

The two looked at the dark cuisine that they had mercilessly seasoned with countless ingredients, and felt as if thousands bolts of lightning struck their hearts—-

The two little troublemakers wanted to cry but had no tears. It was too late to regret it now, wu~

Gu Jiao noticed the gradually crumbling expressions on their faces and asked strangely, "What's wrong? Don't you like the soft bean curd I made?"

Wu~ They had to like it!

Otherwise, they would lose to their bad brother-in-law!

They loved JiaoJiao more than their bad brother-in-law did!

The two took out their small bowls, and Gu Yan scooped a big spoonful for Little Jing Kong, saying, "You're the youngest brother, so you should eat more."

Little Jing Kong then scooped an even bigger spoonful for Gu Yan, saying, "Just like how Kong Rong offered the bigger pear, Jing Kong offers most of the soft bean curd to big brother Yan. Big brother Yan should eat more."

Gu Yan refused and said, "No, you should eat more. You need to grow taller."

Little Jing Kong replied, "I'm still young, so I can take my time growing taller. Right now, it’s more important to take care of big brother Yan’s health."

Alas, the two of them ended in mutual destruction!

Thus, the Anti-Brother-in-Law Righteous Alliance’s first action ended in failure due to them destroying each other!

Until they finished eating, Gu Yan and Little Jing Kong both felt like their noses weren't noses and their eyes weren't eyes.

"Humph!" Little Jing Kong turned his head away.

"Humph!" Gu Yan also turned his head away.

Everyone was confused. What was going on? Why were they suddenly fighting again?

After dinner, Gu Jiao continued to experiment with her black gunpowder, but was interrupted by Eunuch Qin's arrival.

Despite his age, Eunuch Qin jumped down from the carriage, causing him to almost fall down.

"Eunuch Qin, please be careful!" Gu Xiaoshun happened to be at the gate and helped him up.

Eunuch Qin wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with a smile, "Thank you, Xiaoshun! Is your sister there?"
