Yang Meiqin has actually been released!

Lu Yanzhao heard the news at the academy, and his face turned cold on the way back.

He had heard about Wang Fu's arrest today, and it was his doing anyway. It was only a matter of time before Wang Fu couldn't escape. But Yang Meiqin's release so quickly was unexpected.

I wonder what Gu Nanjiao will think when she finds out. At the same time, I am worried about her injuries and want to go back to check on her.

Moreover, he hadn't been home for many days since he slept with her that night, and he couldn't stop thinking about her.

If it weren't for the upcoming autumn exams, he would have loved to go home every day and sleep in Gu Nanjiao's arms. But now, he could no longer control his longing and unconsciously quickened his pace.

Seeing Lu Yanzhao return, Gu Nanjiao couldn't help but ask, "Why are you back? The academy can't possibly be on holiday at this time, can it?"

"No." Lu Yanzhao suddenly stepped forward and hugged Gu Nanjiao, getting straight to the point: "I heard rumors in the academy during the day that Wang Fu was arrested, and Yang Meiqin was released without charge because there was no evidence of collusion!"

“Yes!” Gu Nanjiao wanted to break free from Lu Yanzhao’s hold, but he wouldn’t let her. She could only continue in his arms, “I underestimated her. Compared to Wang Fu, Yang Meiqin is the real viper with its tongue out, slippery and cunning, even more so than a fox.”

Lu Yanzhao frowned as he listened: "Things are probably not that simple. My father-in-law and I both put in some effort, and it would be difficult for Yang Meiqin to get away unscathed. Now she's out so easily, there must be someone behind her. It's also possible that the raid on the brothel affected the interests of certain forces, and releasing Yang Meiqin might be a warning. We all need to be careful."

"I know!" Gu Nanjiao felt a warmth in her heart. "No wonder Yang Meiqin was arrested so quickly that night; I never imagined it was you and Father who did it. And those beggars who insulted Wang Fu..."

Gu Nanjiao wanted to ask Lu Yanzhao, "Was it you who found him?"

Before he could even ask, Lu Yanzhao quickly said, "That's her own fault. She brought it on herself, so she's just reaping what she sowed."

Lu Yanzhao was worried that if Gu Nanjiao knew that he was the one who did Wang Fu's thing, she would think he was ruthless.

He dared not tell Gu Nanjiao about the Cabbage Gang, firstly because he was afraid that what had happened before would be exposed, and secondly because he was worried that Gu Nanjiao would look down on him for being associated with all sorts of people.

In Gu Nanjiao's mind, he was a hardworking, ambitious, and studious student.

That's enough! I don't want to think about this anymore!

Thinking about all the efforts he had made, yet Yang Meiqin was still released, Lu Yanzhao sighed helplessly and said in a deep voice, "It's my fault for being useless."

Gu Nanjiao was taken aback. Lu Yanzhao had already done his best to help her, and she was very grateful. How could she possibly think he was useless?

At his age, he would still be a college student in modern times, where studying is the most important thing. How could he possibly have such extraordinary abilities?

Gu Nanjiao wasn't very good at comforting people, so she reached out and patted Lu Yanzhao: "Evil people will get their comeuppance! By the way, did you have dinner before you rushed over?"

No, I'm worried about your injuries!

Lu Yanzhao's gaze fell on her wrist, and Gu Nanjiao said with a smile, "It's much better now, and it doesn't hurt anymore. My little sister always urges me to apply the medicine, like a housekeeper. She can't miss a single time."

Hearing this, Lu Yanzhao felt relieved and took her hand, saying, "Mother should have finished cooking dinner. Let's go eat!"

During this time, Lu's mother wouldn't let Gu Nanjiao do anything. Yingniang was temporarily staying at the Lu family home, and she took care of all the big and small matters. In her spare time, Gu Nanjiao would learn to play the zither and chess with her.

After dinner, Lu Yanzhao looked at the zither on the table and asked Gu Nanjiao, "Isn't my little sister learning the zither recently? Why is it in our room?"

When Gu Nanjiao heard the word "we," her heart warmed slightly: "I was just about to tell you this! I feel that my younger sister has little interest in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, but she is very interested in martial arts. Do you know where there is a place to learn martial arts? We can take her there!"

Lu Yanzhao frowned: "Nonsense, what kind of girl wields knives and guns?"

"How old-fashioned! If I were to learn music, chess, calligraphy, and painting now, would you also think I'm being ridiculous?" Gu Nan sat on the edge of the bed, pouting and turning her head to one side with her arms crossed.

"These are two different things?" Lu Yanzhao said helplessly, "What kind of talk is it for a girl to only know how to fight and kill! Besides, you are a girl, it's a good thing to want to learn music, chess, calligraphy and painting, just don't exhaust yourself, otherwise it's too hard to be busy with business and studying at the same time."

Lu Yanzhao was trying to comfort her, but Gu Nanjiao became unreasonable: "Is it not proper for a girl to fight? So you're looking down on me. I beat Yang Meiqin and pinned Wang Fu in a bucket of water. That's fighting, isn't it! I didn't expect you to see me like that."

Seeing Gu Nan's puffed-up cheeks, Lu Yanzhao couldn't help but poke her cheek: "Your cheeks are so puffed up, you look like a little toad."

"You're the one who's like a little toad, no, you're a toad!" Gu Nanjiao has always been the type to fight back when she's not convinced, and she doesn't know why she started acting unreasonably in front of Lu Yanzhao.

Will Lu Yanzhao think she's being difficult? I've heard that girlfriends who are difficult and unreasonable are very annoying to their boyfriends.

Gu Nanjiao felt increasingly annoyed by the thought of Lu Yanzhao losing patience with her, so she simply ignored him.

Lu Yanzhao patiently coaxed, "Alright, alright, I'm a toad, a toad that wants to eat swan meat, okay?"

Gu Nanjiao chuckled upon hearing this: "Alright, let's get down to business. I think every child has different interests and hobbies. My little sister likes to practice martial arts, so we should support her. I know that the premise of practicing martial arts is that it shouldn't interfere with her studies, but she really lacks interest in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. If we force it on her, I'm afraid it will backfire."

"I want to find a martial arts school so my little sister can dress up as a girl and learn martial arts. She can come back at night to study academic subjects." Seeing Lu Yanzhao pursing his lips and not speaking, Gu Nanjiao could only shake her arm and say in a coquettish voice, "Is that okay?" After saying that, she couldn't help but shiver and get goosebumps all over her body.

"Okay, whatever you say!" Gu Nanjiao thought Lu Yanzhao would refuse, and she had thought of many excuses, but she didn't expect him to agree.

Is it true that women who know how to be charming have the best lives?

The next second, Lu Yanzhao leaned over, grabbed Gu Nanjiao's head tightly with both hands, and gave her a hard kiss: "The perk you asked for!"

Gu Nanjiao was stunned for a moment, then her face flushed red: "You..."

Lu Yanzhao just smiled. He looked at Gu Nanjiao, whose face was flushed from the kiss, and his smile faded slightly: "Gu Nanjiao, you're almost seventeen, aren't you!"

"Yes! What's wrong?" Gu Nanjiao thought for a moment, and realized that she was indeed seventeen according to the ancient Chinese age reckoning system.

"It's nothing!" Lu Yanzhao lowered his eyelids. The autumn exams were coming up soon, and he was confident he would pass. Gu Nanjiao was seventeen, and he was eighteen.

When the time comes for the imperial examination, it will be the wedding night.

Just thinking about it makes me feel...

Something to look forward to...
