Also, many thanks to everyone who bought me coffee (*≧?≦*)

Xiao Heng helplessly held his forehead.

This girl…

There was no way to stop her from going. She might agree nicely in front of him but would sneak away as soon as he turned around.

Don’t be fooled by how easygoing Gu Jiao usually was at home; that was because she was extremely tolerant of her family. With outsiders, it was a different story.

Han shizi brought those Shaolin martial monks who injured all the players of Tianqiong Academy. If Gu Jiao could swallow this, she wouldn’t be Gu Jiao.

She was like a young wolf facing a fully grown tiger. Even if she couldn’t win, she would still bite off a piece of flesh.

This fierce spirit was in her bones.

Moreover, it was pointless to suggest avoiding conflict with the Han Family to prevent their retaliation. The moment Han Che coveted the horse king, the feud was officially established.

People from the lower states had no status in the upper countries. If the Han Family desired something from them, they would just take it without any qualms.

But Gu Jiao was definitely not a lamb that could be slaughtered at will.

No one could take anything from her.

She wouldn’t allow it, and Xiao Heng wouldn’t either.

……

"That’s all for this morning’s classes."

In the prodigy class at Lingbo Academy, Teacher Lu ended the lesson after reciting the last poem.

Since they were all children, most had adults picking them up.

Little Jing Kong was the youngest in the class, yet he behaved the most like a little adult. While the other children rushed out eagerly, he remained seated, calmly packing his school bag.

In reality, his idea of packing was just stuffing his books in haphazardly, and Xiao Heng would have to reorganize them when they got home.

Even so, Little Jing Kong packed very slowly, slower than a tortoise.

There was also this rule in the prodigy class at the academy: the teacher couldn't leave until all the students had gone.

After all, they were all little kids, and there was a concern about accidents.

Teacher Lu sat at his desk, watching the little guy slowly pack his school bag, his dignified Confucian demeanor giving way to tapping his foot impatiently.

It wasn’t that he was hungry or had something urgent to attend to; it was purely the child’s slow pace that was driving him crazy.

Couldn’t he move a bit faster?

After waiting a while longer, Teacher Lu seriously suspected that half a cup of tea’s time had passed, and the child still hadn’t packed even half of his bag.

Teacher Lu couldn't hold it in any longer and said to Little Jing Kong, "Jing Kong, let me help you pack."

Little Jing Kong replied seriously, "No, I must do my own things. I’m not a little kid anymore."

Teacher Lu felt like losing it. If you’re not a little kid, then who is? You're the youngest in the class! In my twenty years of teaching, this is the first time I've had such a young student!

Teacher Lu stretched out his legs and changed his sitting position.

Little Jing Kong continued packing slowly.

Teacher Lu changed his sitting position again.

Little Jing Kong was still packing.

Teacher Lu’s blood pressure was about to spike.

Finally, Little Jing Kong finished packing.

Teacher Lu breathed a sigh of relief, thank goodness——

Crash—— freeweɓnovēl.coɱ

Little Jing Kong dumped the books out of his bag again, "I can't find something."

Seeing the pile of books on the desk, Teacher Lu finally rolled his eyes and fainted backward!

Little Jing Kong was taken away by Teacher Cheng.

Teacher Cheng, holding Little Jing Kong’s hand as they left the classroom, kindly said, "I’ll take you to lunch today."

Teacher Cheng was a teacher at Lingbo Academy, highly skilled in calligraphy. Xiao Heng had asked him to teach Little Jing Kong calligraphy.

Little Jing Kong was top of his class in every subject except for his handwriting, which looked like a battlefield of defeated soldiers——a trait he had definitely adopted from Gu Jiao.

"Oh." Little Jing Kong responded calmly.

Teacher Cheng: "..."

Why does it feel like this child has lost his soul today?

The polo matches had ended, and he was leaving the school without even seeing JiaoJiao. His tiny soul seemed to leave with JiaoJiao, and now he was a soulless Little Jing Kong.

……

After Han shizi and Ming Junwang came out of the pavilion’s top floor, they went to the entrance of Lingbo Academy, where Ming Junwang’s carriage and Han shizi’s horse were already waiting outside.

"I’ll escort you home first." Han shizi said.

"Thank you, cousin." Ming Junwang replied with a smile.

Han shizi mounted his horse and escorted Ming Junwang back to the Crown Prince Estate.

Ming Junwang lifted the curtain of the carriage window and called out to Han shizi, "Cousin."

Han shizi glanced at the road ahead and then turned to look at him, "What is it?"

Ming Junwang said, “You didn’t finish what you were saying earlier. What do you mean by saying that His Majesty no longer avoids his birthday?”

Han shizi gazed ahead, his eyes deep, and said, "Either he has forgiven the former Crown Princess, or he has completely severed ties with her. Judging by the current situation, the latter seems more likely."

Ming Junwang muttered, “Then why hasn’t Imperial Grandfather deposed the eldest imperial grandson yet?”

When the Emperor demoted the Crown Princess to a commoner and exiled her to the imperial mausoleum, the eldest imperial grandson was not implicated. But unexpectedly, the eldest imperial grandson insisted on following his mother.

The Emperor said then, “If you dare to leave, Zhen will consider you no longer my grandson!”

The eldest imperial grandson still left.

Logically, this should have meant a severed relationship with the Emperor, and since that day, the Emperor had never mentioned the eldest imperial grandson again, so many people believe the Emperor no longer acknowledged him as a grandson.

But the Emperor never issued a decree demoting the eldest imperial grandson to a commoner. In the end, was he still an imperial grandson or not?

No one dared to question the Emperor or speculate about his thoughts. In any case, the title “eldest imperial grandson” was considered unlucky, so the Crown Prince simply ordered his subordinates to keep silent and not refer to Ming Junwang as “eldest imperial grandson.”

Ming Junwang snorted, “I was clearly born as the eldest imperial grandson, but the former Crown Princess suddenly brought back a child from outside, claiming he’s months older than me, taking my position as the eldest imperial grandson!”

He dreamed of being openly addressed as “eldest imperial grandson.”

Han shizi said sternly, “You don’t need to worry about him anymore. Spoken words from the Emperor are also an imperial decree. If His Majesty says he no longer acknowledges him, then he won’t be acknowledged. You are the true eldest imperial grandson of Great Yan, and the entire Han Family is behind you.”

Indeed, the whole Han family was his backing. How could an illegitimate child with an unknown father compete with him?

Recalling something, Ming Junwang asked mysteriously, “Cousin, do you think that rumor is true?”

Han shizi glanced at him, "What rumor?"

Ming Junwang signaled to the embroidered-uniform guards, who surrounded the carriage, preventing anyone from approaching.

Only then did Ming Junwang whisper, “That he is a child brought back by the Crown Princess from outside and is not her biological offspring.”

If this was true, then that person would be completely unrelated to the position of eldest imperial grandson.

Han shizi frowned a bit and said sternly, "Junwang, it’s best not to spread such rumors. This concerns the imperial family’s reputation, and if the Emperor holds you responsible, you may not be able to bear the consequences.”

Thinking of the Emperor's unpredictable and ruthless nature, Ming Junwang felt a chill down his spine.

Han shizi pressed his lips tightly together. This cousin of his was excellent in many ways, with high talent in studies, but he had been overly pampered and lacked steadiness.

PLEASE CHECK OUT OUR NEW PROJECT:

Description:

In the suspenseful supernatural novel “Records of Mortals,” Jiang Baiyan, once a solitary and impoverished youth, finds refuge in the Shi family of Chang’an due to his extraordinary bloodline. With his clear and captivating peach blossom eyes, this seemingly innocent young man conceals a fanatical and malevolent lunatic within. Destined to succumb to darkness amidst hardship and degradation, he becomes a harbinger of chaos.

When Shi Dai suddenly transmigrates, she takes on the role of the Shi family’s young lady, the one who subjects him to countless trials, eventually leading to her demise.

The twist? She never got to finish reading the novel.

From what she knew of the plot, Jiang Baiyan was just a silent, timid, and often bullied pitiable character.

***

Jiang Baiyan had never encountered someone like Shi Dai.

After he had slaughtered all the evil creatures in the garden, the blood-stained young man, exuding a murderous aura, approached her step by step, his lips curling into a malicious smile, "Scared?"

Shi Dai responded, “You’re really amazing! I applaud you until I spin like a spiral and fly around the moon three hundred times! And also——you have dimples when you smile!"

Jiang Baiyan: ...?

—

After seeing her at a lantern festival with another man, Jiang Baiyan lowered his eyes, his fingers twirling her hair. He said in a mocking and sinister tone, "The mansion in the western suburbs...if I hide you there, no one will find you, right?"

Shi Dai replied, "Does it come with meals and lodging? Can I sleep in everyday? Oh, and your cooking is the best!"

Jiang Baiyan: ...?

—

Jiang Baiyan was supposed to dislike her, even hate her, but as their separation drew near, his eyes turned red and he grabbed her sleeve, pleading, "Don't abandon me, alri—”

Shi Dai responded, "Alright, alright, I’ll only have you. Mwah."

Jiang Baiyan: ...?

He hasn't finished his lines yet though…
