Xiao Liulang wasn’t so easily fooled by the little guy.

The main reason was that the monthly rent Little Jing Kong received was kept by Gu Jiao. Although he could use it at any time, every detail of it was recorded by Gu Jiao.

If he were to not pay the rent in whatever month, Gu Jiao could immediately detect something fishy between them.

Little Jing Kong, who always liked to squeeze his bad brother-in-law, actually exempted his bad brother-in-law from paying the rent for a month. Just how much trouble had he caused him?

Gu Jiao wasn’t stupid. She wasn’t easy to deceive.

Hence, Xiao Liulang decisively refused Little Jing Kong's bribe.

Little Jing Kong didn’t know that his bad brother-in-law had a deeper heart than the sea, and only thought that he was simply being just and upright, making his heart full of distress and shame.

He waited nervously for JiaoJiao to come to the Imperial Academy to pick him up from school. He wanted to see JiaoJiao, but he was afraid to face JiaoJiao. He really had never felt so contradictory before.

Meanwhile, Gu Jiao was also in serious trouble. Jumping from the roof, she stepped on the air, fell into the carriage, and crushed people.

She was confused for a while and finally came back to her senses. She quickly got up from the other person’s back and looked at the other person seriously. She asked, "Uncle, are you okay?"

Would Marquis Xuanping be okay?

He was choking to death.

He was the Military Marquis of the State of Zhao. He fought countless battles throughout his life, killed many enemies, and made brilliant achievements. He survived to be worthy of people’s admiration, but in the end, he didn’t die a glorious death, and instead died in such a lame way.

He suddenly thought how his death would be recorded in the history books in the future—— Highest rank Military Marquis, Xiao Ji, choked to death at the age of so and so during the year of so and so.

Fuck!

As Marquis Xuanping repeatedly cursed Chang Jing, the one who dismantled the carriage, in his head, he suddenly felt a pair of little hands coming from behind him, passing under his arms, and lifting him up. Then the other party’s arms wrapped around his abdomen and gave it an upward thrust.

He felt a rush of air in his chest and the winter jujube stuck in his throat was spit out by him.

At the same time, Chang Jing put the canopy roof of the carriage on the ground, crouched down, rummaged through the roof, and finally found his hidden marble weapon!

Chang Jing put away the marble, then lifted the canopy roof and turned to install it back to the carriage. As a result, he saw Marquis Xuanping looking at him with a livid face.

And there was a little girl beside Marquis Xuanping.

Chang Jing: Huh... What just happened?

The corner of Marquis Xuanping's mouth twitched in anger.

Chang Jing blinked his eyes and realized that he might have made his Lord Marquis angry again. He said, "I was looking for my marble."

Marquis Xuanping: So this Grandpa isn’t as good as a marble in your heart!

Chang Jing slowly and carefully put the canopy back on top of the carriage, and did not forget to remind people, "Watch your heads."

Marquis Xuanping: Oh, now you care about people. Where were you when I was dying just now?!

On the other hand, the four imperial experts continued to chase over.

Marquis Xuanping was asked by his sister, Empress Xiao, to pick up his little nephew, Qin Chuyu, at the Imperial Academy after hearing the news that something happened to him at school. Empress Xiao couldn't get out of the palace herself, and the Crown Princess was still grounded, so Empress Xiao could only request for her brother’s help.

Without any ostentation and extravagance, Marquis Xuanping took an unremarkable carriage with Chang Jing as the coachman.

Therefore, none of the four experts recognized that it was Marquis Xuanping's carriage.

They chased all the way to the roof when the girl suddenly disappeared on the other side. Nine times out of ten, she was hiding inside the carriage below.

The four people didn't ask if there was anyone else in the carriage and just went straight to apprehend people.

Chang Jing's eyes flashed a murderous look, rose to the air, and kicked all four people away!

Gu Jiao oh’ed in appreciation behind the curtain. Good skills!

Wait, this guy looked familiar.

Gu Jiao did meet Chang Jing when she was buried in the ruins of the music house, and it was Chang Jing who removed the stone slabs together with the other guards from the Marquis Xuanping Estate.

Unfortunately, Gu Jiao only managed to briefly glance at him and failed to see his face properly.

A while after the four imperial experts were knocked down, the Fourth Prince arrived on horseback.

Others might not recognize the carriage of Marquis Xuanping Estate but he would never fail to recognize it, especially when Chang Jing, the strongest expert of Marquis Xuanping, was standing in front of the carriage.

Chang Jing didn’t often appear in public. He was originally a dark guard, but recently he started hiding his presence less.

The Fourth Prince immediately guessed who was sitting within the carriage. He got off the horse, came up to the carriage, cupped his hands in greeting, and said with a smile, "Uncle."

Marquis Xuanping was the elder brother of the Empress, and the Empress was the mother of all the princes. Therefore, it was just right for the Fourth Prince to address him as uncle.

But whether or not Marquis Xuanping would recognize him as a nephew was another matter.

There was no response from inside the carriage.

The Fourth Prince was a member of the imperial family while Marquis Xuanping was an official. Even when the Fourth Prince's biological uncle saw him, he also had to give him a respectful salute of an official to his monarch.

But Marquis Xuanping hadn’t been arrogant for a day or two. Not to mention a mere Fourth Prince, even the Crown Prince had to respectfully call him uncle.

The Fourth Prince’s face was slightly flushed in displeasure, but he didn't really dare to use his position as a prince to oppress Marquis Xuanping. He looked at the four imperial experts who staggered on the ground, then at Chang Jing, who had a disdainful look on his face. He gritted his teeth and continued to cup his hands, saying, "Just now, my men didn't have eyes and bumped into uncle. Hoping for uncle’s forgiveness."

A pretentious sigh came from within the carriage, and then the curtains were lifted.

Marquis Xuanping's cold and disdainful eyes fell on the face of the Fourth Prince, "Keep an eye on your dogs properly, or I might kill them."

After he said that, he didn’t wait for the Fourth Prince’s answer and coldly put down the curtain!

The Fourth Prince tightened his fingers and bowed with his hands still cupped together, saying, "Yes, this nephew will remember."

"Stilt not going away?" Chang Jing urged.

The Fourth Prince frowned and left with four imperial experts who were seriously injured.

His men had gone far away, but the Fourth Prince looked back with resentment at the motionless carriage.

Marquis Xuanping, you'd better sit up high all your life without falling!

After the Fourth Prince left, Marquis Xuanping took a good look at the little girl beside him.

She looked... quite unexpected.

He first saw Gu Jiao’s right face, which was as beautiful as a celestial being from heaven, but as soon as she turned around and he saw her left face, he nearly ascended to heaven himself!

Marquis Xuanping: "Do you often walk on the carriage roof?"

Gu Jiao: "Occasionally."

Every injustice had its perpetrator, every debt had its debtor. The chief culprit of today’s incident was Chang Jing, and Marquis Xuanping wouldn’t take it out on her. Besides, he could also guess why she had been leaping onto roofs just now.

"You’re a medical woman?" Marquis Xuanping asked.

"Physician." Gu Jiao corrected him.

Marquis Xuanping scoffed, "So, a medical woman."

"No." Gu Jiao said seriously, "Medical women only treat women, but I just treated you."

Are you saying that you’re a woman?

Marquis Xuanping:“…”

Marquis Xuanping felt his tooth ache!

Her looks weren't very pleasing, but she sure had an eloquent tongue.

Marquis Xuanping took out his purse and rummaged inside of it for a long time before pulling out the smallest silver ovule ingot. He still looked unwilling as his face displayed an expression of pain, "Here. Treatment fee!"

This time, it was Gu Jiao’s turn to feel her tooth ache.
