A day, a couple, a hundred days.

The love oath they made back then was now no longer possible to fulfill between Gu Zhiyuan and Madam Liu.

The moon was up and the wind was cold. Qiu Fu did not know how many connections he had made to be able to enter the Han Courtyard in the dead of the night without anyone knowing, but if it was in normal times, even if a servant entered the young miss's room at night, he would still be whipped thirty times.

Right now, Gu Mingyan was only sitting on a chair wrapped in a quilt with a Mrs. Tang in his arms.

It was just that she had stayed up too late, when she just finished showering, she noticed that Qiu Fu had come over and hurriedly sent the two little girls over. Right now, her hair was still wet from the cold wind, but unexpectedly, her bitter heart had also been frozen.

He could only hide within the square inch of the brocade bed and listen to Qiu Fu tell him about the matters of the Madam Liu.

Looking up and down, Gu Mingyan suddenly laughed, "No wonder you could climb to this position. Even if Aunt knew that I was the one who did this, she would only blame it on Daddy."

Gu Zhiyuan wanted to borrow her hands to raise Gu Xu properly, but he didn't know that there would be a day where she would treat him like a blade.

The relationship between husband and wife had been harmonious for many years, and was half true and half false. After all, blood was something that the two of them could not discuss, and now that she pretended that it was the borrowed blade and Qiu Fu, the fourth power, was deliberately protecting her, something must have happened to her.

Qiu Fu did not dare to look at Gu Mingyan with her head lowered, as she did not want her sight to be glued to the slender fingers outside the quilt.

"Qiu Fu thanks young miss for her advice today."

If Gu Mingyan did not inform Gu Xu about this, he might have underestimated this young master.

"No need to thank me. In the end, I am still a woman who cannot inherit her family's business. You might as well look for my worried little brother as you wholeheartedly work for me. He is currently lacking someone by his side."

Gu Mingyan retracted his neck, and flipped through his manuscript with his fingertip, taking a quick look.

"Little Young Master is still young, Qiu Fu is willing to follow Big Miss ahead of time. In the future, if there are any more matters, Qiu Fu will be willing to take care of them."

Repeated requests could be considered a huge help to her now.

If he didn't agree, it would be a bit unreasonable.

"I promise you, but why do you want it? In the future, I'll do the same …"

"In the future, I will naturally inform Eldest Miss of the things I ask for. Even if it is deeper, it would be inconvenient for Qiu Fu to stay, I hope that First Miss can rest early. "

Qiu Fu interrupted her and stepped into the darkness.

What seemed to be wrong?

Gu Mingyan couldn't find any flaws either, but he was still on his guard.

She could be a double-sided spy for others, and maybe Qiu Fu could do the same.

With this thought in mind, she simply went to the door and blew on the wind. Because there was a wall between them, Han Chao's courtyard, which was normally quiet, was eventually somewhat noisy. Now, she could only hear the chilly wind blowing in her ears.

The bedding was the safest.

He slept soundly the whole night. When he woke up, the sky was still dark and he could not see the light.

After hastily changing his academy's clothes, Gu Mingyan did not want to go to the hall to eat breakfast early in the morning and be lectured by others. He was probably not as relaxed and carefree as when he was grounded, and carefully avoided the servants nearby, before saying to the guard at the entrance that he wanted to go study early in the academy, so no one dared to stop him.

The small vendors had already returned seven or eight days ago. Gu Mingyan continued to eat his breakfast, thinking that it would be best if he could find a good job with Mr. Xu Chang, and avoid the problem.

However, he never thought that there would be such a golden opportunity for him to kill his way out.

Just as she turned two streets, she saw Shuang Hua seated on the horse carriage and immediately went to welcome him.

Shuang Hua sat outside the carriage, raised his hand to stop the carriage, jumped down from the carriage, and walked to Gu Mingyan's side and bowed: "Eldest Miss, why are you out so early?"

"I didn't want to hear the aunt's lesson, so I went out early to look for the Mr. Xu to avoid the test."

Gu Mingyan smiled and moved closer, affectionately holding Shuang Hua's arm and smiling.

The matter of entangling herself with Xiao Qiran had already been tossed out the window. She only knew that the people in the Seventh Prince Palace were all cute and lovable, especially a beauty like Big Sister Shuang Hua!

However, Shuang Hua thought that the young miss did not hate him, and guessed that she did not have much enmity with his Highness, and heaved a sigh of relief.

"Big Sister Shuang Hua is the real deal. Where are you going so early in the morning?"

Gu Mingyan looked up and glanced at the Flood Dragon's Bell on the carriage and couldn't help but frown.

Could it be that Xiao Qiran was in the carriage?

Thinking about it, she took Shuang Hua one step away.

Knowing what she was thinking, Shuang Hua pressed his hand against the back of her hand. "Your Highness isn't here.

"Me?" Gu Mingyan did not know what Xiao Qiran was thinking.

Is it personal or business?

Shuang Hua pulled her up onto the carriage first, and had her subordinates stop the carriage at the side of a street where no one was around.

"The young miss has been grounded for a month, her Shengan has long changed, now that Xue Zhu and Jing Peng is staying at the mansion, she did not expect that the crown prince would go and try to rope National Duke's Mansion in, probably for the sake of Mrs Xu, and would like to invite the young miss to find a time to go over to the National Duke's Mansion."

Shuang Hua's gaze landed on her waist, but he did not see any trace of Linglong.

"Moreover, National Duke's Mansion has not sent anyone over."

As he said till here, Shuang Hua gave her a helpless look.

This half a month of confinement was all thanks to the relationship between His Highness and Eldest Miss.

Yet, it had allowed the crown prince to take advantage of the situation and enter the room, and had actually caused his Highness to lose contact with his National Duke's Mansion in such a manner.

"No worries. It just so happens that after school today, I want to go to that National Duke's Mansion to walk around." She subconsciously patted her own small purse, where the Jade Carp was still lying unharmed. Her cousin Bai Song, whom she had met a few times, was still waiting for her to return the important keepsake.

Shuang Hua nodded his head and frowned, "If the young miss wants to go to the Academy now, then what about this pile of stuff?"

"Since it's from His Highness's heart, we'll send it to the Seven Stars Academy in the mansion. Then we'll say that it's His Highness's filial piety to our grandmother." Gu Mingyan playfully blinked her eyes, and laughed: "Of course I have to act out this play, but I will have to trouble Big Sister Shuang Hua to inform Your Highness that I have already taken my oath as true, and do not go against my words."

Thinking that the poison smell on his body had not completely dissipated, Gu Mingyan felt like he was leaving with the wind, but after a while he disappeared around the corner, alone.

Shuang Hua could only follow Gu Mingyan's orders, and deliver the items to the Prime Minister's Mansion personally. Unavoidably, there was a burst of hostility, but what made Gu Zhiyuan and Madam Liu extremely angry was the huge mansion, where even the young miss could no longer look at it, and had people leave early, missing the chance to talk to Shuang Hua.

As for Gu Mingyan, he had actually arrived at the academy's library early, and Xu Chang seemed to have been waiting for him for a long time.

"You're so impatient to go to school?" Xu Chang was arranging the books on the shelves, smiling at her.

"Be at ease here."

His calligraphy was ruthless. It was unknown how much better it was than a love affair where his family had a different mindset.
