The spring sun was shining brightly. It should have been a good day to go out for a walk.

However, Gu Mingyan was scratching her head as she stood in front of the private school teacher. The two boys from the Wind Listening Pavilion were still holding on to the hem of her clothes.

"If I hadn't seen them, the two of them would not have known how to bully others." The teacher was so angry that his face turned red, and he slammed the table loudly.

The two kids felt wronged and wanted to retort, so Gu Pingyan could only put on a changed face and say to the teacher, "I've troubled you these past few days. I'll bring the child back to the house to teach him."

When the teacher heard this, he felt that Gu Danyan was purposely provoking him, so he quickly waved his hand to get Gu Shenwei to bring him back.

As they walked, they held each other's hand. Gu Danyan even bought two sweets that they liked, but the older one held her in an aggrieved manner: "They said we were fatherless children, and they said …"

"I will be your father from now on. Who said you have no father?" He wanted to pick up the brat, but looking at the two's round face, he could only choose a relaxed person and rub his head in front of the two: "I won't blame the two of you for your actions. As long as you hold it back slowly in the future, when you hear this, you have to tell me directly, or else you two will have to go back and be seen by the girls again."

Some of these children were orphaned, while others were children left behind by the Wind Listening Pavilion. Their parents lived far away, so they were left here to raise them.

Who knew that not only did they not comfort the two kids, but the kids started crying loudly, wiping their tears and mucus on Gu Daiyan's body. Gu Daiyan hurried to bring the two back, but he still had to protect them along the way, making them feel funny.

When they returned to the Wind Listening Pavilion and found out that the private school no longer wanted them, the girls all had troubled expressions on their faces.

Ah Zi accompanied the two kids and said, "I'll be troubling you. The ladies of Wind Listening Pavilion are easily misunderstood by others, that's why …"

"It's just a small matter, and each child is more mischievous than the last. However, each child is more interesting than the last." Gu Danyan poured himself a cup of tea: "Since the private school doesn't accept it, it's good for you to take your time to teach and teach."

The girls all had difficult expressions as they patted her head in a ghostly manner, "Don't forget where this is. When the child comes out in the future, how will he be able to meet anyone?"

Only then did Gu Danyan remember, although the ladies of Wind Pavilion were all good at acting, they could still kill people with their gossip. Thinking of this, she helplessly said: "Just let them take care of themselves for now, the Third Prince's private school will be finished in a few months. I'll compensate them when the time comes, and send the children in there won't be a problem."

"This silver is not easy to earn." Ye Zichen frowned.

"But silver is used for spending. If not, these little girls would have started a ruckus again." Gu Danyan pointed his fingers at the two kids and said with a smile: "From now on, just say that I'm your father and see who bullies you."

Gui Gui still wanted to drag her out to properly educate her, but the few kids nodded their heads seriously.

The few girls in the building were afraid that this would be bad for Gu Daiyan. After all, she was a girl, and if they adopted so many children from the Wind Pavilion as their adopted son, they would inevitably talk a lot when they went out.

However, after Gu Danyan finished talking, he went to tell the other children, and the few girls quickly told the matter to Yun Dian. Yun Dian's eyebrows raised, and hurriedly ran downstairs to talk with Gu Danyan, only to see Ping Chuan carrying the child, snatching his bone fan back, and said helplessly: "His Highness Third Prince just sent someone to send a letter, she just left."

"This child!" Yun Wan stomped her feet in anger, while the other girls hurriedly comforted him again.

Gu Liuyan was on his way to the third prince's residence, but he stopped in front of a stall. Looking at the hairpin on the stall, he felt that it looked pretty good, so he bought it and wrapped it around his chest.

Although the two of them were always busy together, but in the short span of a few days, Yun Diao had clearly remembered her preferences. Normally, when he saw her, he would not try to find fault with her and would often cause the two of them to feel awkward, but it still made Gu Lianyan's heart warm.

However, before he could take two steps, he saw the owner of the shop walk over and return the two taels of silver to her. "The Duke of Jing sent someone to tell you what you want in the future. He even asked me to pass this item to you."

Gu Danyan was slightly stunned. He turned around and saw Duan Chengxuan's figure disappearing into the crowd.

"No need, then take two taels of silver." Gu Danyan turned around, handed the silver back to the boss and left.

However, at this moment, she didn't dare to openly go to the Third Prince's residence. She only contacted people and met him in the teahouse.

They knew that these corrupt officials were more or less related to Duan Chengxuan, because earlier, Duan Chengxuan had lost the Emperor's trust and the military power in his hands was in disarray. Now, he could only start with the silver coins and still wanted to cultivate his own forces, but they had only noticed the corrupt officials previously, so they had not expected that the person behind all these people was Duan Chengxuan.

"To think that he would do such a thing." When Gu Danyan heard the news, he also found it hard to believe.

"These are all messages sent by the two brothers Meng Xu and Meng Shu. There shouldn't be any lies." Duan Chengrui also took a look at the news that the Wind Listening Pavilion had heard, and frowned: "However, today, Imperial Uncle seems to be going to see a high official, and it's not easy to get close to my person. See if there's anyone that can help me scout it out."

The two of them knew what the other wanted to do, but when encountering such an important matter, compared to finding out about the other party, both sides were more inclined to defend and try their best to not be overheard.

Thus, Duan Chengrui had no choice but to turn to Gu Tinyan.

Gu Mingyan had wanted to ask the ladies of the Wind Listening Pavilion to come forward, but when she saw the name on the board, the corner of her mouth twitched: "I can't let the ladies of the building go to the brothel."

"Don't you have a man with you?" Duan Chengrui was shocked for a moment. "Or find a small street …"

She temporarily had to wait for the situation to settle before she could reveal her identity. After thinking for a moment, she could only helplessly say, "I think it's better if I go by myself. I know Duan Chengxuan's habits, so avoiding the people around him can be considered as getting used to it."

"But you are also a girl …" Duan Chengrui was slightly hesitant from beginning to end.

"Don't worry, I have a thick skin. I can't find anyone better than me right now." Gu Danyan patted his chest and continued, "And he won't suspect me even if I show that I am before."

While the two of them were speaking, Yue Qing, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke in a low voice. "Why don't I accompany the young lady and have someone to look after her for me?"

Just as Duan Chengrui wanted to agree, Gu Pingyan opened his mouth: "No need, I'm the only one who will be honest. Nothing will happen to me."
