Chapter 92 Chapter 92 Gu Shi Lingchuan reunites!!!

Li Daniu blinked his eyes. The child's eyes were actually quite big, but because he was fat, his big, dark eyes were squeezed smaller by the flesh on his face.

"Everyone likes me. Maybe the emperor likes me too and buys me lots of delicious food."

He suddenly threw himself into Tao Jinrong's arms and hugged him tightly.

"Do you like me, pretty sister?"

Before she could react, Qin Sizhao stood in front of her, pushed the little brat aside, and acted like a teacher:

"Li Zhang, you're grown up now. Do you understand that you should respect women? You shouldn't behave frivolously."

He took out his ruler and asked coldly:

"How dare you behave so frivolously? Are you asking for a beating?"

Li Daniu shrank his neck in fear, took a few steps back, and said:

"I won't dare to do it again. I won't dare to do it again."

He followed Qin Sizhao into the study obediently. Qin Sizhao took out the pen, ink, paper and inkstone and said lightly:

"Recite the entire Great Learning from memory."

His tone was light, as if he was talking about today's weather, but to Li Daniu's ears it was like thunder.

He couldn't even copy it completely, let alone memorize it. Li Daniu looked embarrassed in an instant.

"Master...I...I..."

"Isn't it time to be punished for holding the pen incorrectly?"

Sitting at the desk, Li Daniu suddenly broke out in cold sweats, began to shiver from time to time, and his legs kept shaking.

"What? Can't you recite it? Then copy the Great Learning three times to memorize it."

He took a volume from the shelf and placed it on the desk.

"I'll eat after I finish copying."

Li Daniu sniffed and resigned himself to copying the book. As he was copying, he smelled the aroma of rice. Tears flowed from the corners of his mouth. He couldn't help but wipe them away and continued copying the book on an empty stomach.

Finally finished copying! Just in time for dinner!

He shook his sore arms and went straight to the dining table.

He ate some rice and said:

"Master, my father said... the emperor came in a hurry. I don't know why, but... except for my father, no one in this county has the conditions to entertain him. My father is the most powerful person in this county."

"Don't talk while eating, just focus on eating."

Qin Sizhao just glanced at him and he fell silent.

He cleared out a room for Li Daniu that was farthest from his bedroom, took him in, and said:

"You can live here."

"Master, this place is empty and I'm scared to be alone."

"You're old enough, you should be used to being alone. Don't bother me at night. Do you really want to find someone to accompany you in the middle of the night?"

He nodded honestly and said:

"My nanny sleeps with me every night."

"What about your parents?"

"have no idea."

Qin Sizhao felt a little headache when he saw the mischievous look of the child. He wondered if County Magistrate Li had been used to being a local tyrant in such a small place and was very domineering, which really caused him a lot of trouble.

At least someone should be sent to look after this kid. To be honest, he and Tao Jinrong are not old enough to be the child's parents.

"Just get over it and go to sleep. If you can't sleep, just lie down under the covers and cry quietly. Don't disturb me."

The child lay on the bed with a wronged look on his face. Qin Sizhao held his forehead and thought that he would have to ask someone to go to County Magistrate Li's house tomorrow to complain, and then ask someone from his house to serve this little ancestor.

Fortunately, his headache didn't last long, because Li Daniu's wet nurse came right away, carrying a lot of things.

"Master Qin, you can just call me Aunt Qian. This child can't be left alone, and he's picky about food. The master and mistress originally wanted to discipline him, but they were still worried, so they asked me to stay with him."

Qin Sizhao just took her to Li Daniu's room indifferently.

"Okay, just don't let him disturb my rest."

"Excuse me, this is tea. It was originally a tribute, but we don't need it this year. Please take it and drink it."

Qin Sizhao couldn't help but smile bitterly.

I really don't know what County Magistrate Li was thinking. Sending his own child to the home of a newlywed couple is such a nuisance.

Fortunately, someone was sent to keep an eye on him.

After returning to the bedroom, the first thing Qin Sizhao did was to close the windows and doors.

"A Zhao, it's so boring. Why are you closing the windows and doors for no reason?"

Qin Sizhao looked back at her, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and his long eyelashes drooped slightly, casting a shadow.

"Of course, I'm afraid people will hear me."

He blew out the light and walked towards her step by step. She grabbed his wrist and buried her head in his shoulder.

…

Gu Shi couldn't count how many days had passed since Lingchuan's death. He only knew that he had regained his sanity and recovered from his excessive madness.

He was able to handle government affairs calmly, and then he had a moment of freedom... He could no longer stay there for a moment, and every day he would walk around Cong Cui Palace, not looking, not thinking, and only imprisoning himself in a strange identity.

Only the pain caused by the foreign object on the tip of his tongue reminded him every moment that Lingchuan was dead.

She is the person closest to him in the world, but also the one who hates him the most. This is undoubtedly a complete denial of his personality. Even his wife, who is closest to him, hates him. Then he must be a useless person. What is the point of living in this world?

He thought that Lingchuan not only died, but also died on the eve of going to find another man, and that man knew nothing about it. This was totally unfair.

Gu Shi sneered and gently bit the silver nail that pierced his tongue. Qin Sizhao must have loved her. If he knew that she was dead, he would be heartbroken. In this way, he could taste his pain from a high position. Presumably, his pain could also bring him some comfort.

He must tell him the news in person, and the expression on his face must be very interesting.

He couldn't wait any longer, so he rode his horse as fast as he could and rushed to the small county.

The county magistrate received him with great flattery and flattery. He did not dare to bring out anything too luxurious, nor did he dare to bring out anything too poor. His trembling and dilemma gave Gu Shi a sense of happiness that he was superior to others.

He didn't need this kind of low-level happiness before, but now he has to savor it carefully, just like a rich man who suddenly goes bankrupt and has to cherish even a little bit of rice.

He glanced at him with his sunken and violent eyes, admiring the trembling of his knees, and asked:

"Did you know that this county once produced a top scholar?"

"This... I don't know, I don't know..."

"Qin Sizhao, do you know?"

Gu Shi was a little impatient.

"Of course I know, of course I know. I have a very naughty puppy, so I sent him to him to discipline him."

"Send someone to take me to his house."

"Your Majesty, if you are looking for him, I would rather send someone to call him to you."

"No need, I will go to his house myself."

"This... my son is so naughty, I'm afraid he disturbed you..."

He was so frightened that his voice trembled and he knelt on the ground trembling.

"It's still early, find someone to take me there."

"I will take you there myself."

"Didn't you hear? Find someone to take me there."

Several servants looked at each other tremblingly, and no one was willing to take the lead.

"Ergou, take His Majesty away."

County Magistrate Li stretched out a finger as thin as a dry stick and pointed at the servant who had the best relationship with his son and who he always played with.

"yes……"

Ergou was already trembling with fear, and he knelt down with a thud to receive the order.

He was just a country boy and had never seen such a scene before.

…

At noon, Tao Jinrong had just woken up and hurriedly put on the clothes scattered on the bed. When he turned his head, he saw a figure from afar through the window.

She was so scared that she quickly covered her mouth for fear of screaming.

The man's figure was very similar to Gu Shi. She didn't dare to see his face clearly, but he looked much thinner.

She didn't care about her disheveled clothes and hurried to Qin Sizhao's study.

"Rong'er, why are you so anxious?"

Her face was pale, and she leaned over to his ear and said:

"Gu Shi is here."

Qin Sizhao was surprised at first, but then quickly calmed down.

"Don't be afraid, hide first, I'll deal with him."

He took her into a dark room at the back of the reception room. It was very hidden, but there was a tiny hole through which one could observe the situation outside from inside.

"This is where I hid my silver. Hide for a moment and don't make any noise. The door can be opened from the inside."

She nodded, touched his face and said:

"Qin Sizhao, remember, he thought I was dead."

He nodded, but they both knew at this moment that this was not a long-term solution after all. Everyone knew that he had a wife, and anyone could find out with just a little inquiry.

Tao Jinrong put his eyes close to the small hole and tried to get closer.

She suddenly gasped.

How did Gu Shi become like this?

His eye sockets were deeply sunken, with two black bruises under his eyes, his lips were as pale as paper, and his whole body looked like a paper mannequin in a funeral home, tall, long, and thin. If a fire was thrown on him, he would be burned to ashes without leaving any bones.

"Qin Sizhao, do you know? Tao Jinrong is dead."

He gave him a sinister smile.

"she……"

Gu Shi swallowed his saliva and changed his words:

"She had already made up her mind to come find you, but she died on the eve of her visit. Like her parents, she was burned to death in a fire. I buried her body in her hometown. Do you want to go and see it?"

Tao Jinrong was stunned and took half a step back.

He actually came to tell Qin Sizhao the news of her death.

She understood instantly that Gu Shi was suffering himself and did not want Qin Sizhao to have an easy time. He came here to taste Qin Sizhao's pain.

But not only did she not die, she was even living well. Last night she had a sweet time with Qin Sizhao in bed. But at noon today, Qin Sizhao had to act heartbroken in front of him to satisfy his despicable taste.

She frowned and gritted her teeth.

But Qin Sizhao suddenly said...
