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

At this point in time, the Duke was still very young, handsome and elegant, looking completely different from the gaunt middle-aged man lying on the sickbed.

So why she recognized him immediately was something she couldn't explain herself.

In any case, the moment this man appeared, his identity became clear in her mind.

"Yinyin."

The man began searching each room.

"Yinyin, stop hiding. It's time to practice your writing."

"Alright, I won't force you to practice writing. Let's go out and play. Come out."

"Yinyin."

"Yinyin!"

"Yinyin, where have you gone?"

The young Duke's voice became tense.

"Yinyin, don't scare me. Come out quickly!"

"Where did you go, Yinyin?"

"Father misses you, Yinyin, come out quickly!"

His eyes turned red, tears welling up and his voice involuntarily trembling and choking with emotion, "Yinyin... Yinyin... Father misses you, Yinyin..."

He staggered and fell onto the steps.

Gu Jiao instinctively reached out her hand, seemingly wanting to help him.

But Gu Jiao stood at the gate while he was on the steps to the house, with an entire yard between them.

She lowered her hand again.

At that moment, the young Duke suddenly lifted his head and looked towards the gate, "Yinyin!"

Gu Jiao's heart jolted, and she abruptly opened her eyes, waking from her dream.

The dream in her mind receded like a tide, and she quickly forgot what had happened in it, only remembering a panicked, handsome face.

"Looks a bit like the Duke."

Gu Jiao remarked, raising an eyebrow.

Had she seen the Duke so many times that she even dreamed about him?

After daybreak, Gu Jiao, Gu Xiaoshun, and Gu Yan were ready to go.

Gu Yan was weak and had difficulty walking, but fortunately, Master Lu had made a wheelchair for him.

Master Lu drove the carriage and took the three of them to Tianqiong Academy.

Teacher Wu led the group as they departed from the academy. Mu Qingchen and Mu Chuan had returned to the inner city the previous night and were heading to Lingbo Academy on their own.

Gu Jiao wanted to bring Gu Yan along, and neither Dean Cen nor Teacher Wu had any objections.

The group took a carriage into the inner city.

Meanwhile, Second Master Jing was also pushing his elder brother out of their courtyard in a wheelchair.

"Hey! What are you doing?" Second Madame stopped him and asked.

Second Master Jing looked at his elder brother in the wheelchair and replied to Second Madame, "There's a polo match today. I'm taking my brother to watch it."

Second Madame quickly responded, "Your brother is in this condition, and you still want to take him out?"

Second Master Jing replied seriously, "He's much better. I even saw him open his eyes last night!"

Second Madame glared at him, "Was that really opening his eyes?"

After opening them, he just stared blankly without closing them, and didn't respond when spoken to. It seemed like a mere muscle spasm.

Second Madame scoffed, "I think you just want to watch the polo match yourself! Why use your brother as an excuse?"

Second Master Jing cleared his throat, "Ahem! I'm just worried about leaving my brother alone at home. Assassins keep trying to attack him. I feel more at ease watching over him myself. Besides, the imperial physician advised us to take him out in the sun more often!"

Second Madame said coldly, "Are you really going to watch the polo match or to see those beauties at Canglan Women’s Academy?"

Second Master Jing assertively said, "Of course, I'm going to watch the polo match!"

And also… to see those beauties.

Second Madame frowned and muttered, "But there's something going on at the house today, I can't leave."

If you can't leave, then that’s perfect

If you go, how can I look at those beauties?

Second Master Jing smilingly said, "You handle your matters first. Come over when you're done; I'll save you a seat!"

Second Madame glared at Second Master Jing coldly.

Second Master Jing swaggered away, pushing his elder brother’s wheelchair.

Second Madame called over a young servant, "Go attend to the Second Master. Make sure to keep a close watch on him; don't let him fool around outside!"

The servant responded, "Yes, Madame!"

…..

Lingbo Academy, as the venue for the tournament, granted students a holiday today. Although Canglan Women's Academy did not officially announce a holiday, they essentially arranged for self-study sessions, and most of the students went to Lingbo Academy to watch the match.

Lingbo Academy had the largest polo field in the inner city, with viewing platforms set up on both sides where the view was the most open.

"I want to go watch polo!"

In a dormitory of Linglong Pavilion, Little Jing Kong protested against his bad brother-in-law who was forcing him to study.

"No." Xiao Heng said.

Little Jing Kong exploded on the spot, "You're indeed such a bad brother-in-law! You won't even take me to watch polo!"

Xiao Heng said indifferently, "There will be a lot of people there. You're so small, you wouldn't even know if someone stepped on you."

"I've grown taller! I'm not small anymore! I...I...I'm this tall!" Little Jing Kong stood on his tiptoes, trying hard to measure his height with his hand above his head.

Xiao Heng glanced at him and continued flipping through his book.

Little Jing Kong was really angry.

He was going to run away from home again!

Knock, knock, knock!

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

"Who is it?" Little Jing Kong asked.

His bad brother-in-law couldn’t speak in a female voice, so he always pretended to be mute.

A girl outside the room laughed and said, "Is Jing Kong there? Is your sister home? We're here to invite her to watch the polo match next door."

Little Jing Kong looked at Xiao Heng as if he had seen a ghost, "Someone actually invited you to watch a polo match?"

His bad brother-in-law was so bad he had no friends!

Xiao Heng didn't move.

Little Jing Kong was going crazy!

Someone wanted to be friends with him, and he was still being picky!

Little Jing Kong snorted, "If you don't go, I'll go!"

Xiao Heng didn't even lift an eyelid, "Heh."

Little Jing Kong decisively abandoned his bad brother-in-law and dashed to the door, looking cute as he said to the three young ladies outside, "My sister won't go with you, but I'll go with you!"

The three of them were taken aback.

The girl who had spoken earlier said, "Uh, well, that's not possible... Without your sister's consent, how can we dare to take you out?"

It wasn’t like they were genuinely inviting her, a person from a lower state, as a friend. They only invited her so they could get good seats.

The young masters from those noble families had already reserved the best spots, eager to save them for the most beautiful woman of their academy!

The three girls, unwilling to give up, thought of something. One of them looked at the refined beauty inside the room and said, "I heard Tianqiong Academy is participating too. Young Master Qingchen will be playing. Don't you want to see him?"

Xiao Heng's reading paused.

PLEASE CHECK OUT OUR NEW PROJECT:

Description:

In the suspenseful supernatural novel “Records of Mortals,” Jiang Baiyan, once a solitary and impoverished youth, replaces refuge in the Shi 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 succumb to darkness amidst hardship and degradation, he becomes a harbinger of chaos.

When Shi Dai suddenly transmigrates, she takes on the role of the Shi 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 Shi 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?"

Shi 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 replace you, right?"

Shi 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—”

Shi Dai responded, "Alright, alright, I’ll only have you. Mwah."

Jiang Baiyan: ...?

He hasn't finished his lines yet though…
