The girl who was singing in the restaurant followed her father home, changing into a stool and sitting at a square table. The storyteller held a folding fan in her hand as she cleared her throat and began to talk about the interesting things that had happened since the ancient times.

There were not many guests here, but all hundred of them were familiar with each other. Even so, there were still people who stayed in inns and came to the restaurants, making them very interesting.

Gu Mingyan finally finished the bowl of soup. Her mouth was bitter, and along the way, she knew that this place wasn't rich. There wasn't much spice, so she added some spices and leaves into the soup. It was a bit astringent.

"I didn't expect you to find such a paradise." Gu Mingyan paid the silver and followed Duan Chengxuan to the direction of the old house at a moderate pace. She even noticed that the peddlers by the side of the road didn't shout and only chatted happily with the women before pushing their own dishes out.

Moreover, this place can be considered remote, and the reconstruction has not been completed for many years. The human heart is concentrated, and there are no walls in the surroundings, so even killing and looting here is useless. Duan Chengxuan explained in a deep voice.

The two of them were dressed in luxurious clothing, which made them seem like they were traveling alone in the village.

However, the majority of people did not care that such a distinguished official would come here to recuperate. They only discussed what had happened behind their backs.

"Your sentence is getting longer and longer." Gu Danyan raised his eyebrows and looked at him.

"I wonder who cried until their noses turned red first." Duan Chengxuan tightened her grip and slowed down his steps. "If I don't tell you now, after a few more days, you'll probably abandon me and the kids and take the Phantom to wander around."

"I will speak with ghosts first, but Qing Qing and this little fellow will come later. No matter what, we have to wait in the back line." Gu Danyan also tightened his grip and said, "I just remembered that you said before that you had a deal with the empress. This doesn't mean that you …"

"Not really." He only said in a low voice, "The word 'Empress' is just an empty title. In fact, you still have some relationship with her back then, but when you think back carefully, you didn't realize that she was always under the control of her clan. In this lifetime, however, she didn't love anyone but herself, and now that you cooperate with me, you're only thinking of getting away with it."

"Since we're cooperating with you, why did we poison the Emperor?" Gu Liuyan lowered his voice.

"There are quite a few women from Empress Xu's mother's house. How could those women not have their own selfish thoughts? If they could use this as an excuse to drag the Empress down, then they would have the chance to climb up to the position of the country's mother." As he spoke up to this point, Duan Chengxuan followed and let out a long sigh. "I wonder what's good about this Emperor?"

Not everyone wants a beauty. You can only blame your Duan Clan for being infatuated." Gu Ming Yan raised her eyebrows and lowered her head. "However, if I were a man, I probably won't marry anyone in my entire life. I might even practice medicine to save people, or open a small school somewhere and teach them how to read and write.

When Duan Chengxuan heard this person with six ranks, he found it rather interesting. "I thought you wanted to change the situation with a high position and a high reputation."

"I know my own limits." Gu Danyan glanced at him sideways, then patted Duan Chenxuan's chest with her slender jade hand with a playful look on her face, "They all know a lot about me now, and they're all on the same level as a Martial Immortal like you. But if you really think about it, all of these places are mountains that I've carved out for myself.

Duan Chengxuan didn't deny it, but he knew that gold shined wherever it was.

As the two talked while walking, they finally arrived in front of the mansion. The name Zhou Mansion was still there, but in the middle of the courtyard was a platform that was as tall as a person's calf. The top of the platform looked like it had not been repaired for a long time, and was surrounded by a long bamboo curtain.

The boss had just ordered his subordinates to clean up the place, when he saw Gu Danyan staring at the table, he quickly said, "This house used to belong to Old Master Zhou. Normally, he would teach people to read here, and when his life ended a few years ago, this school would be abandoned, but if you tear it down and ruin the feng shui of the house, then I will not tear it down."

"Boss's surname is Zhou?" Gu Danyan felt that this sentence was weird.

It was I who cared about the loneliness of Old Master Zhou's life, and sent someone to deliver the food every day. When he was well, he would personally hand over the land deed to me, and tell me to set up a study hall for the money I have spent on selling the estate. The boss felt a bit choked up.

If it wasn't for Duan Chengxuan who had a dark expression on her face, Gu Mingyan probably wouldn't have thought that he had already considered the boring matter.

He hugged his arm as he leaned towards Duan Chenxuan's side, and craftily said, "Looks like you're going to be so careless as well."

"You need to rest." Duan Chengxuan pulled her behind him as he was afraid that she would agree and continue to run a school here.

At this time, Gu Liuyan exerted some effort and took advantage of the time when Duan Chengxuan didn't dare to move his hand against her stomach to grab onto the man's shoulder. He waved her hand at the boss with his eyes slightly shining, "I have nothing better to do, I can teach my children how to read and learn, and can the boss shout for me …" "Woo! Woo!"

Duan Chengxuan gagged him as the man glared fiercely at her, "Rest."

Lifting the man's hand, Gu Danyan stuck close to his chest and raised her head to look at him: "I'm just a woman who can't rest. You offended me, yet now you still want me to be controlled by you?"

Duan Chengxuan took a step back as he was afraid that he would bump into Gu Liuyan's stomach. "Listen to me."

"Do you see what you're saying?" Gu Danyan was about to point at his nose and get closer, but it was interesting to see him step back with both of his arms placed at an unknown place: "You still want to imprison me? Or are you trying to trap me here and find some wild woman? "

Duan Cheng Xuan's face was so dark that water dripped down, and veins were popping out on her forehead.

The more reasonable a woman was, the more unreasonable she was when she got angry.

However, he didn't know that she had written off her old grudge just now. Now that it had been brought up again, he could only hold her back in anger. "Stop messing around."

"Then get someone to clean this place up, and buy some scrolls and papers, and I won't mess with you." Gu Liuyan turned around, but she was caught off guard by Duan Chengxuan, and her two arms were clasped behind her waist.

The boss and the waitress were both worried about the pregnant woman's overactive movements, so they quickly tried to smooth things over. "Otherwise, it's better if this academy doesn't …"

"No more."

"It must be done!"

Their voices sounded at the same time.
