Chapter 52: Shu Younger Brother

Gu Hui Yan leaned over and asked in a whisper. Lin Wei Xi wrinkled her nose and said, “not really.”

He’d already pulled her hair. What else could she do?

Gu Cheng Yao felt some mild emotions. He took a step back, lowered his head, and said, “This son still has homework to finish and won’t disturb Father and Mother’s appreciation of the snow. Please excuse this son.”

Gu Hui Yan nodded and said, “Go ahead. The civil service exam is coming up. Prioritize preparing for the preliminary round. Don’t be distracted by the clamour for the next few days. Understand?”

“I understand. Thank you for teaching me Father.” After Gu Cheng Yao responded, he looked up at Lin Wei Xi again and cupped his hand to salute to her before leaving.

Gu Hui Yan was teaching his son, so Lin Wei Xi stood aside and listened. After Gu Cheng Yao turned around and returned the way he’d come from, she remembered something and asked suspiciously, “why did Shizi want to come over? He’s going back just like that?”

“Perhaps he got bored of sitting in the study and came out to get some air.” Gu Hui Yan glanced at Lin Wei Xi and said, “The weather will be cold these few days. Don’t let your temper get the better of you and be careful not to catch a cold.”

“I won’t. I’m not that unruly.” she mumbled, too lazy to care about Gu Cheng Yao. Anyway, how Gu Cheng Yao was faring had nothing to do with her. She’d handed over management of Qingsong Garden to the dowry servant Princess Consort Shen left behind. She made it very clear that she wasn’t interfering with Shizi’s matters. Whatever happened in his courtyard was their own business and she had nothing to do with it.

As for whether Gao Ran would overpower Granny Bu or vice versa, it would depend on their methods. Lin Wei Xi would watch the fun without getting involved.
