Chapter 103: 94.1

Gu Jiao was a bit taller than Gu Jinyu, and even though Gu Jinyu wore thick-soled embroidered shoes, Gu Jiao was still able to look down on her oppressively.

Gu Jiao said flatly, "If you don't even have this sincerity, don't try to persuade me to go back."

Gu Jinyu said with a slight redness in her eyes, "If you really want me gone..."

Gu Jiao said coldly, "I don't care. Do and take whatever you like. Just don't bother me."

This was the most words Gu Jiao had ever said to strangers, even though she was only so patient with people she cared about.

Afterwards, Gu Jiao demonstrated to Gu Jinyu what was called being treated as air.

Gu Jinyu put on a bold face and continued to burn paper money, but until the end, she failed to call Gu Sanlang and Xu shi parents in front of Gu Jiao.

Gu Jinyu sat on her knees for too long, and her legs were numb. It was the servant girl and the wet nurse who came forward to help her up.

She bowed to Gu Jiao and said, "I'm taking my leave first. I'll visit sister again when I have time."

Not long after she left, Little Jing Kong hopped over from another path, "JiaoJiao!"

He saw Gu Jinyu not far away and asked doubtfully, "Huh? Who are they?"

Gu Jiao answered, "Strangers."

"Oh." Just strangers, then Little Jing Kong didn’t have to pay attention to them.

"What are you doing here?" Gu Jiao asked.

Little Jing Kong replied, "When I got home, you weren’t there. Grandaunt said you came to visit the grave!"

Every day, Little Jing Kong had to do morning lessons, practice martial arts and visit his friends in the village in the morning. As soon as he got home after visiting his friends, he found that Gu Jiao was not there, so he asked Grandaunt where JiaoJiao had gone.

"Whose grave is this?" Little Jing Kong asked with his widened eyes.

Gu Jiao looked at the two old graves and said, "My parents, this one’s my father and this one’s my mother."

With his tiny hands behind his back, Little Jing Kong tilted his head in thought, "Since it's JiaoJiao's parents, then it's Jing Kong's parents as well!"

After saying that, Little Jing Kong knelt down and gave Gu Sanlang and Xu shi a few big kowtows.

He was so pious that he knocked his head into the dirty ground and referred to them as parents.

His voice was child-like, but his face was full of solemnity, and with his little body kneeling before the desolate grave, it simply made people shed a tear.

Even an adopted child could do this, and yet their own flesh and blood couldn’t even call them parents. Gu Jinyu, who hadn’t gone far yet, felt her heart was blocked by something, as well as a hand giving her a slap in the face.

"Young miss, are you all right?" The servant girl noticed Gu Jinyu’s abnormality and asked.

Gu Jinyu closed her eyes and replied, "I’m fine, let’s head back."

"Yes!"

Gu Jinyu and her party got into the carriages and traveled back to the estate.

On the other hand, Gu Jiao and Little Jing Kong cleaned up the grass in the grave and walked back home together.

"JiaoJiao, are you well?" Little Jing Kong took Gu Jiao's hand and asked.

"En, I’m alright." Gu Jiao nodded her head.

Her high fever was already gone, so she was fine now.

As for her wound forming scabs, it was a common occurrence and something she didn’t take to heart.

Hearing Gu Jiao say that she was alright, Little Jing Kong fully believed that she was really well. He cheered with delight, "Just now, I have a talk with our parents!"

"Oh? What did you say to them?" When Gu Jiao was weeding, she did hear the little guy muttering something, but she didn't know what exactly he was muttering about.

Little Jing Kong raised his chin and proudly said, "I asked our parents to bless JiaoJiao so she won’t get sick again! Our parents must have heard it, that’s why JiaoJiao is now better!"

Gu Jiao: Was that how it worked?

Little Jing Kong firmly believed that it was the work of Gu Sanlang and Xu shi in heaven, and since, obviously, it was him who made them manifest, so it was actually his credit. It was never the medicine that his bad brother-in-law brought back!

——You could say he was a little monk who liked to compete with his brother-in-law all the time!

Meanwhile, after Gu Jinyu left the village, she hurried back to the Hot Spring Villa. As soon as she arrived in the town, she found that something was missing.

"Stop the carriage." She ordered.

The coachman parked the carriage at the side of the street accordingly.

Huang Zhong, who was riding a fine horse, asked, "Young miss, what happened?"

Gu Jinyu rummaged carefully in her sleeve pocket and pouch, then frowned and said, "I dropped something."

"What did young miss drop?" Huang Zhong asked.

"A letter." Gu Jinyu answered.

"Then I'll ask people to come and help young miss look for it." Huang Zhong called the servant girl and the wet nurse in the carriage behind him to help Gu Jinyu look for the letter in her carriage together.

As a result, several people rummaged through every part of the carriage but never found what Gu Jinyu had lost.

"Is it an important letter?" Huang Zhong asked.

"En." Gu Jinyu nodded.

It was a letter written by Imperial Concubine Shu to her. There was a question inside it, which was originally addressed to the various princes. However, Imperial Concubine Shu’s son, the Fifth Prince, couldn't solve it, so she sent a letter to Gu Jinyu to answer it.

Gu Jinyu was exceptionally intelligent and much better than the companions of the Fifth Prince. Since childhood, she had basically solved problems for the Fifth Prince in secret. After solving the questions, the credit of solving them would be taken by the Fifth Prince.
