The Grand Secretary’s Pampered Wife

Marquis Gu didn't share Yao shi’s worries. After all, he didn't intend to acknowledge this marriage from the beginning.

A poor Xiucai wasn’t good enough for his daughter! Later, he would just hand the poor guy some money before sending him away, and once he brought that girl back to the capital, who would know that that girl had been married? When the time came, he would find a suitable partner for her and marry her off!

Although that girl's character and appearance were far from Jinyu's, she was nevertheless the young miss of the Marquis Estate, so she would not be unable to get married.

Meanwhile, Xiao Liulang, who hadn’t the slightest idea that he was going to be sent away by his father-in-law with a sum of money, just came out of the academy and was about to go to the nearby private school to pick up Little Jing Kong.

But he had just taken a few steps when a carriage blocked his path.

This was no ordinary carriage. The wheels were different from those normally seen on the streets. They were bigger, taller and sturdier. The carriage’s body was made of the finest rosewood, the silk on the canopy was also overflowing with magnificence and colors, and it was inlaid with eight huge night-luminescent pearls, each worth a hundred taels of gold.

The coachman was a black-clad man wearing a hat, with thick arms, tall figure and powerful aura.

Even the horse looked powerful and valiant—— a black Mongolian horse. It seemed to have fought in the battlefield before and was simply covered with murderous aura that none of the horses of nearby carriages dared to approach it.

An elegant-looking man stepped down from the carriage, about the same age as the Second Owner of the Rejuvenation Hall, but his imposing manner was far from being comparable to that of ordinary people.

From time to time, people in the surroundings looked their way.

The man seemed to be indifferent to this. He came up to Xiao Liulang, looked at Xiao Liulang carefully and asked with a smile, "Are you Xiao Liulang?"

Xiao Liulang asked with his guard up, "Who are you?"

The man raised his hand with a gentle smile and responded, "No need to be wary, my surname is Liu, and my master asked me to come and find you."

Saying so, he untied a token from his waist and said to Xiao Liulang, "Do you recognize this token?"

….

Private school.

When classes were over and the children were finally dismissed, the teacher and the students alike breathed a sigh of relief. The students left their classroom with their bookbags, running as fast as a thief, as if some ferocious beast was chasing after them.

The teacher couldn't leave the classroom yet because Little Jing Kong was still there.

The teacher let out his 108th deep sigh today.

If not for his own son being a student of Tianxiang Academy, he would have expelled this annoying little guy from school a hundred times already!

Unlike how Little Jing Kong was always like a noisy trumpet at home, he was actually very quiet in class. However, when he did make a sound, it would spell death for the teacher!

It could be said that Little Jing Kong also had a somewhat formidable background. After all, his brother-in-law was the direct disciple unilaterally recognized by Dean Li, and driving Little Jing Kong away from school was about equal to Dean Li giving his son a hard time.

But looking at him right now, the teacher really felt pain in his eyes ah...

Little Jing Kong was holding the Three-character Scripture in both hands, and while chanting on the surface, he would glance outside from time to time.

"Jing Kong, isn't your brother-in-law here yet?" The teacher in the classroom asked.

"Hm." Little Jing Kong answered in a small voice.

The teacher asked again, "Would you like me to accompany you to the gate and have a look?"

Little Jing Kong harrumphed and said, "Does he even want to pick me up? In any case, I don't want to see him!"

Having said that, the number of times he glanced outside with his little eyeballs obviously increased.

He bet his bad brother-in-law really didn’t want to pick him up, right?

Just like those people who once promised to adopt him but eventually abandoned him.

“Jing Kong.” The teacher, who arrived at his side who knew when, patted his tiny shoulder and said, "Your brother-in-law is here."

Finally! At last! Today’s nightmare was over for the teacher!

"Really?" Little Jing Kong immediately rose to his feet, but soon he realized that he was overreacting. He quickly adjusted his behavior, put on a calm little expression, packed up his things and said goodbye to the teacher, and then went to see Xiao Liulang outside the private school.

"You are late!"

After getting on the oxcart, Little Jing Kong discontentedly said to Xiao Liulang, "Did you not study well again so that you were detained by Teacher Zhang?"

Xiao Liulang gave him a surprised look, "You know that my teacher is surnamed Zhang?"

"Brother Xiaoshun told me!" Little Jing Kong replied then thought to himself: I know a lot, not only that your teacher is surnamed Zhang, but also that Gu Dashun’s teacher is surnamed Chen and your Dean is surnamed Li!contemporary romance

Little Jing Kong said seriously, "You haven't answered my question, have you been detained by the teacher? Don't be complacent just because you are now a Xiucai. Don't forget that you’re still only a student of Class B!"

Of course, he also knew he was in Class B.

Xiao Liulang looked at him, amused and vexed at the same time. He said, "Why does a little kid like you talk so much?"

Little Jing Kong rested his fists on his hips and replied, "You’re obviously late at picking me up, but I am not allowed to say anything about it? You adults are so unreasonable!"

Xiao Liulang said, "Are you saying you’re reasonable?"

Little Jing Kong crossed his arms over his chest, saying, "Of course, I’m very reasonable!"

Xiao Liulang raised an eyebrow and said, "Then who talked back to the teacher in class and embarrassed the teacher?"

Little Jing Kong said carefully, "It was him who said the wrong thing! I was just correcting him!"

Xiao Liulang replied, "Then who played truant in the middle of class?"

The righteous Little Jing Kong said solemnly, "That's because he wanted to hit me! I didn't do anything wrong! He shouldn’t punish innocent children!"

The teacher had a ruler for hitting disobedient children twice in the palm of their hands. During class, Little Jing Kong questioned the teacher and argued with him till the teacher’s face was red. The teacher was so angry that he took out the said ruler and tried to punish Little Jing Kong. As a result, Little Jing Kong directly ran away from the private school with the bookbag on his back!

Xiao Liulang said lightly, "Since you think you are reasonable, why don't we discuss this incident in front of JiaoJiao and let her be the judge."

Little Jing Kong stopped talking at once.

Although he firmly believed that he was on the right side, at the same time, he instinctively felt that JiaoJiao would not agree with his approach.

Xiao Liulang said, "Why are you quiet so suddenly? Are you afraid to know that you’re being unreasonable, or are you afraid that JiaoJiao will be unreasonable as well?"

Little Jing Kong confidently said, "JiaoJiao is of course a reasonable person! But what I said is also right! It’s JiaoJiao's reasoning and my reasoning that disagree with each other, not me and JiaoJiao!"

Xiao Liulang: If not for the fact that I already know you quite well, I would be thrown dizzy by your words.

They arrived at the village while bantering all the way.

They got off the oxcart and walked towards their own home. As soon as they entered the door, they found that there was one more person at home.

The young man was well-dressed and good-looking. One could tell at first glance that he wasn’t a villager.

"Who are you?" Little Jing Kong asked with his head tilted.

"I'm JiaoJiao's younger brother." Gu Yan stressed, "Biological younger brother."

Little Jing Kong's small body shook!
