In the afternoon, it was arithmetic cla.s.s, and Gu Jiao still sat next to Zhong Ding.
The one teaching them was a teacher surnamed Gao, who was known to be very strict. But Gu Jiao continued to rest her head on her hand and dozed off.
Zhong Ding was sure she hadn't listened to a single word, so he kindly made a set of notes for her. This time, he was smart enough to use the State of Yan's language instead of the State of Qing.
"What were you doing last night?" Zhong Ding asked Gu Jiao after cla.s.s.
"Nothing much." Gu Jiao replied.
"Here." Zhong Ding handed her the notes, "Don't do this again. Teacher Gao is one of the strictest teachers in the academy. He gives exams every month, and if you fail, it will be very tough for you."
"Got it." Gu Jiao yawned, took the notes, and started packing up to leave.
Zhong Ding continued to work on the problems.
"The third answer is wrong." Gu Jiao said nonchalantly as she stood up.
Zhong Ding was stunned, looking at Gu Jiao and then around him, "Are you talking to me?"
"The answer is nineteen." Gu Jiao said without looking, grabbing her book bag and leaving.
"How could it be nineteen? Isn't it seventeen? Did you even look at the question? You're just guessing." Zhong Ding didn't believe someone who slept through the cla.s.s could know how to solve the question.
After dinner, Gu Jiao decided to go to the inner city again.
Lady Nan said, "There's a curfew in the inner city. You should wait until things calm down."
Gu Jiao replied, "I don't know when this situation will calm down. Ah Yan's illness can't wait."
Actually, Lady Nan thought that after asking so many medical halls, the operating room Gu Jiao was looking for probably didn't exist.
But the unyielding determination in Gu Jiao's eyes made Lady Nan unable to say it out loud.
Some people accepted their fate; some did not. Gu Jiao not only didn't accept it but even fought against it.
"Take care of yourself." Lady Nan advised.
"I will." Gu Jiao said as she changed her outfit and had Gu Xiaoshun take her to the gate of the inner city.
"That child..." Master Lu sighed.
Lady Nan said, "She reminds me of someone."
Master Lu asked, "Who?"
Lady Nan replied, "The Duke."
"Do you mean Duke An?" Master Lu's face darkened. "Why do you keep mentioning him lately? I'll get angry if you continue on like this!"
Lady Nan glanced at him reproachfully, "I just think JiaoJiao's determination is similar to how Duke An was in his youth. Do you remember the engagement between Duke An and Young Miss Xuanyuan?"
Master Lu responded grumpily, "I'm not from the State of Yan, nor have I lived here for years like you have. How would I know?"
Lady Nan stared at him, annoyed yet amused, "Young Miss Xuanyuan once told Duke An, 'You can't even carry or lift anything. You couldn't withstand a single move from me. My father said that a daughter of the Xuanyuan Family should marry the most valiant man in the world.'"
Master Lu asked in confusion, "So why did she end up marrying the Duke?"
Lady Nan chuckled, "Indeed, she still married him. Everyone thought it was impossible, but the Duke never gave up. JiaoJiao is the same."
Master Lu pondered for a moment, "But I think... curing Ah Yan's illness is even harder than the Duke marrying Xuanyuan Family's daughter back then."
To say it was as difficult as reaching the heavens wouldn't be an exaggeration. At least the Duke was just trying to win a daughter from Xuanyuan Li's hand, while JiaoJiao was trying to s.n.a.t.c.h someone from the clutches of the King of h.e.l.l.
Lady Nan sighed, "Who says it isn't? Moreover, JiaoJiao is all alone in the State of Yan. It's really tough for her."
……
Security in the inner city has tightened even further. This time, Gu Jiao didn't choose to hang under a carriage but instead found a cargo box to hide in, covered with brocade cloth.
"Stop!"
At the inner city gate, the carriage was stopped by guards. They checked thoroughly, even checking under the carriage. They also opened each box to ensure that it indeed contained cloth before allowing it to pa.s.s.
Once the carriage stopped, the coachman went to get people to unload the goods.
Gu Jiao took the opportunity to get out of the box. Looking around, she suddenly realized she was lost again.
How come she ended up at the Duke Estate again?
"Alright, you guys, take the top two boxes of silk to the Second Madame's courtyard!"
"Yes!"
"Take the rest of the silk and jewelry to Young Miss Mu. She deserves a reward for treating Lord Duke."
"Understood!"
As the voices approached, Gu Jiao walked out from the other side.
Suddenly, a shadow moved quickly through the bushes nearby, so fast that if Gu Jiao hadn't been there, she might not have noticed it at all.
She frowned and instinctively sensed a killing intent.
The shadow headed straight for the southeast corner.
That was the location of the Duke's courtyard.
Someone was going to a.s.sa.s.sinate the Duke!
Lady Nan had warned Gu Jiao not to get involved with the Duke Estate. The Duke was just a stranger with no connection to Gu Jiao.
"Forget it, the Duke Estate has its own guards. I don't need to interfere."
The shadow moved skillfully, evading all the patrol guards and successfully entering the Duke's courtyard.
That servant girl named Lianqiao had sneaked off to play again, leaving the Duke alone in the room.
The gray-clad a.s.sa.s.sin, holding a gleaming dagger, approached the bed.
The cold light from the dagger fell on the Duke's closed eyes. Perhaps sensing something, the Duke's hand began to tremble.
Without hesitation, the a.s.sa.s.sin stabbed towards the Duke's heart!
Bang!
A small figure swiftly kicked the a.s.sa.s.sin away!
The a.s.sa.s.sin crashed into a pillar and fell heavily to the ground. Gu Jiao didn't give him a chance to get up and kicked him again, causing him to roll over and spit out blood on the spot!
The a.s.sa.s.sin coldly stared at the masked youth who suddenly appeared. Knowing his mission had failed, he didn’t engage further and fled through the window.
Gu Jiao picked up the dagger he left behind and tucked it into her robe.
She approached the bed. Although the a.s.sa.s.sin hadn't succeeded, the knife tip had still grazed the Duke's hand and arm.
"You're hurt. Let me bandage it for you." Gu Jiao said in her own voice since no one else was around.
The Duke's fingers twitched.
Gu Jiao murmured, "Can you hear me?"
The Duke's fingers twitched again.
It seemed he could hear. This response to external stimuli was a good sign.
Gu Jiao took out her first aid pouch from her robe, "I'll treat your wound, don't move."
After a pause, she added, "It won't hurt."

PLEASE CHECK OUT OUR NEW PROJECT:
Description:
In the suspenseful supernatural novel “Records of Mortals,” Jiang Baiyan, once a solitary and impoverished youth, finds refuge in the s.h.i.+ family of Chang’an due to his extraordinary bloodline. With his clear and captivating peach blossom eyes, this seemingly innocent young man conceals a fanatical and malevolent lunatic within. Destined to succ.u.mb to darkness amidst hards.h.i.+p and degradation, he becomes a harbinger of chaos.
When s.h.i.+ Dai suddenly transmigrates, she takes on the role of the s.h.i.+ family’s young lady, the one who subjects him to countless trials, eventually leading to her demise.
The twist? She never got to finish reading the novel.
From what she knew of the plot, Jiang Baiyan was just a silent, timid, and often bullied pitiable character.
***
Jiang Baiyan had never encountered someone like s.h.i.+ Dai.
After he had slaughtered all the evil creatures in the garden, the blood-stained young man, exuding a murderous aura, approached her step by step, his lips curling into a malicious smile, "Scared?"
s.h.i.+ Dai responded, “You’re really amazing! I applaud you until I spin like a spiral and fly around the moon three hundred times! And also——you have dimples when you smile!"
Jiang Baiyan: ...?
—
After seeing her at a lantern festival with another man, Jiang Baiyan lowered his eyes, his fingers twirling her hair. He said in a mocking and sinister tone, "The mansion in the western suburbs...if I hide you there, no one will find you, right?"
s.h.i.+ Dai replied, "Does it come with meals and lodging? Can I sleep in everyday? Oh, and your cooking is the best!"
Jiang Baiyan: ...?
—
Jiang Baiyan was supposed to dislike her, even hate her, but as their separation drew near, his eyes turned red and he grabbed her sleeve, pleading, "Don't abandon me, alri—”
s.h.i.+ Dai responded, "Alright, alright, I’ll only have you. Mwah."
Jiang Baiyan: ...?
He hasn't finished his lines yet though…
