It was green and elegant, with a peach wood hairpin in her hair. She seemed more like a young miss that had hidden herself from the world.

He could hear that Gu Zhiyuan was currently asking about how Gu Qingzhou was doing in school, and at the same time, he also occasionally glanced at Gu Xu, who had just recently entered the room and was having a meal on the table.

Gu Xu, on the other hand, was wearing a white robe with a light purple belt. Even though he was young, he had a handsome face and with the immaturity of a child, his eyes were filled with innocence and cowardice.

It was just like what she had taught him.

"Mister taught me a few days ago, and you even said that you've never heard of it before!" Gu Zhiyuan slammed the chopsticks on the table, causing Gu Qingzhou's entire body to tremble. Only the Madam Liu glanced at Gu Qingzhou unhappily, and then pulled Gu Zhiyuan along. "Qingzhou didn't do it on purpose, I presume that mister didn't fulfill his duty, so why aren't you teaching him properly …"

"They are all for you to spoil!"

On the other hand, Gu Zhiyuan reprimanded Madam Liu once again, and then looked at Gu Mingyan: "In these few days in the infirmary, have you brought any trouble to His Highness?"

"Never."

After saying those two simple words, Gu Mingyan put down the bowl and chopsticks and took a handkerchief to wipe the corners of his mouth without raising his head.

Gu Zhiyuan was already so angry at Gu Qingzhou, but seeing Gu Mingyan's indifferent attitude, he took out the appearance of a strict father to teach him a lesson.

"In the future, you must listen to Teacher's teachings in the academy. Don't be rude again."

"Daddy is right."

As he agreed, Gu Mingyan simply folded his hands and put the handkerchief away. His fingertips impatiently tapped the table, while he glared coldly at Shang Rong who was at the side.

Shang Rong also blinked, and hurried over: "What orders does young miss have?"

Before he finished speaking, Gu Mingyan took the chopsticks and ate his egg roll.

Everyone opened their eyes wide, Shang Rong wanted to puke but did not dare, instead, he casually opened his mouth and asked: "Is it delicious?"

Shang Rong quickly nodded.

"Go to the kitchen and have someone put it in the food box. I need to take it and give it to Mr. Yu and Mr. Xu. Then, take these fish skin wontons and two bowls as well.

Shang Rong ran and disappeared in a hurry, it was forbidden for people to come onto the table to eat.

The little Madam Liu covered her mouth and coughed a few times, but she was still unable to stop Gu Zixi from opening her mouth. "How can you let your servant eat the food on the table!?"

"Since Mr. Yu and Mr. Xu are too busy cooking for the medicine hall, and have no time to eat breakfast, and have the same taste as Shang Rong, naturally, we'll let him taste it. Otherwise, if you let me taste it, I would definitely want this Jujube Mud Cake and Sweet Rice Cracker. Mr. Yu doesn't eat the Jujube Mud Cake, and Mr. Xu doesn't eat Sweet Rice Cracker either. "

Gu Mingyan looked at her doubtfully. "To be able to win over the hearts of others, it is what it is. The matter of the servants not allowed to be served only depends on the Patriarch's intentions. Father, do you think that what Ming Yan said is right? "

"Daddy, look at her! She seems to have gone beyond the control of her authority!" Gu Zixi stomped his feet anxiously.

"Master's will is the rule. "Ming Yan already knows this logic at such a young age. How can she not leave the infirmary? Perhaps, she might be able to become a female official in Wen Lai's day."

Gu Zhiyuan looked at Gu Mingyan with a rather appreciative gaze.

In his heart, he couldn't help but wonder how good it would be if she were a son. When the time came for her to become an official, she would definitely be a great general by his side.

Towards this suggestion, Gu Mingyan only gave a shallow smile as he stood up and said, "Daughter is full, let's go take a look at the kitchen first."

"Go." Gu Zhiyuan was not angered at all, he only glared at Gu Zixi, and told her to obediently sit down to eat, causing the little Madam Liu by the side to be unable to watch any further, afraid that Gu Zixi would say more words that would displease Gu Zhiyuan, and pull him back into the courtyard to teach him a lesson.

The crowd dispersed, and only the Madam Liu called for Gu Xu, and only the two of them knew what had happened.

Gu Mingyan found a small stool outside the kitchen and sat down. On the other hand, Shang Rong took an egg roll from the aunt's place, and asked while eating: "Why does the young miss insist on saying such words?"

"Since I want to continue to stay here, I can't stay out of this matter like I used to." Gu Mingyan took down half of the egg roll in his hand and said while eating: If I break the engagement in the future, no matter how useless I will be, let alone helping Xu'er create a heaven and earth, I'm afraid that even I will be taken care of.

Shang Rong bit onto half of the egg roll, and looked at Gu Mingyan with slight resentment. "Eldest Miss is so cautious, don't you feel tired?"

"Go ask your majesty if he's tired from battling the battlefield."

After wiping his fingertips, Gu Mingyan wanted to ask the aunt in the kitchen if she had finished preparing something, but he suddenly saw thick smoke billowing out, causing the servants outside the courtyard to be even more confused.

"I'm going to see what's going on." Shang Rong rushed out.

After a while, Shang Rong jumped back using his movement technique and muttered: "It seems to be Third Young Miss's courtyard is in water. At that time, Second Madam and Third Young Miss were talking inside the house, but the door was closed and a group of people were trying to open the door."

"Let's go and watch the show."

Gu Mingyan quickly walked out.

On the other hand, Shang Rong choked on his own saliva, opened his eyes wide and followed up — — Does young miss have such a strange temper!

When Gu Mingyan ran into the courtyard, he finally managed to hide the smile on his face.

The hot flames engulfed most of the room.

All the doors and windows were locked from the outside. Only a few bold servants were still trying to find a way to unlock the door, instead of knocking it open with brute force. They were afraid that the sudden fierce fire would burn down the beams of the house.

Shang Rong looked at the useless appearances of the servants, he did not really dare to kick open the door to prevent it from collapsing, he raised his blade and cut the lock into two, then obediently returned to Gu Mingyan's side.

Gu Mingyan watched him sheathe his blade in disbelief: "You really have mediocre martial arts?"

"It was all given by Big Sister." On the other hand, Shang Rong rubbed his head in embarrassment, and stealthily pushed aside all the people who were trying to get close to the house, in case he bumped into Gu Mingyan.

Madam Liu said today that he wanted to go to the Academy, and he was no longer in the Palace.

saw Gu Zixi and the little Madam Liu being pulled out from a distance and they were called to Shang Rong who was beside them. "Go investigate around, and see if we can find the person who set the fire."

Shang Rong instantly disappeared into the group of servants.

Gu Mingyan pushed the person in front of him away and spoke out loudly, "Send the Second Madam and Zi Xi to the main hall to rest. The servants in front will stay here to extinguish the fire.

Most of the people quickly left.

Seeing such a big fire burning in the sky, Gu Mingyan and the others were still thinking of using the water to extinguish it. They hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed onto someone, "Go and use the sandbags on the road to extinguish the fire!"

Only then did the few of them realize that the sand and stones were originally meant to be used as a garden, but they had never used it before.

Everyone brought sand and stone over, but were still unable to extinguish the fire. Gu Mingyan watched as the thick smoke gradually rose up, and with a light cluck, before she could come back to her senses, she saw a shadow flash past her, and the two bags of sand rose into the air, kicked into the flames by the man.

The sandbag was ripped open in midair, causing sand to scatter in all directions, causing the house to collapse with a loud bang, while Gu Mingyan watched as the person landed in front of him.

"The Director?"
