He didn’t go back to the Marquis Xuanping Estate. He was still at their home in Bishui Alley, beside Little Jing Kong who was snoring and sprawled on his back, with one little foot on his chest.

No wonder he felt so stuffy in his dream. It was this little thing crushing him with his foot, right?

Xiao Liulang took the little guy's small feet off of his chest.

Later in the night, he wasn’t able to fall asleep again.

As soon as he closed his eyes, that painful feeling of being choked from Gu Jiao not knowing him was coming back.

It was a very strange feeling and was out of his control. Even if he tried to, he couldn’t restrain it at all.

The next day, when Gu Jiao got up early in the morning, Xiao Liulang was already gone.

Little Jing Kong slept soundly, and had no idea when his bad brother-in-law left.

When Liu Quan heard the movements here, he came and knocked on the gate, "Lady Jiao, it's me."

Gu Jiao opened the door for him, "Uncle Liu, it's still so early."

Liu Quan said with a smile, "Liulang came to me and told me that he has to leave ahead as he has something to do. He asked me to take Gu Yan and others to school later. I've also made breakfast, I'll bring it here in a moment."

Oh, the man was gone, but didn’t forget to make arrangements at home.

Gu Jiao didn't think much about it and said, "Thank you."

In fact, she could also send them to school herself, but Liu Quan could drive a carriage, and it was more convenient for the three little men to go to school by carriage.

After they set off for school, Gu Jiao went to the medical hall.

Today, two critically ill patients were discharged from the medical hall, which was a joyous event.

But having not seen Xiao Liulang early in the morning, she felt something was missing.

On the other hand, Marquis Gu was also heading outside.

After Yao shi moved to Bishui Alley, she refused to move back. Gu Jiao was also blocking his way, but he could neither beat her or rob people under her nose. Yao shi used to listen to him in the past, but since Gu Jiao appeared, he felt that his position in Yao shi's heart had plummeted.

Things couldn’t continue like this.

He had to meet Yao shi alone.

He planned to time his visit when Gu Jiao went to the medical hall, which was at this hour, but he also had to go to the yamen at this time.

After some struggle, he decided to skip work for the day!

Regardless of his ability to handle tasks, his attitude as an official was still considered good. This was the first time in his career as an official that he had skipped work.

But for his wife's sake, he threw caution to the wind!

Conveniently, he also calculated that after picking up Yao shi, he could go to the Ministry of Justice to see Jinyu.

Jinyu must have suffered a lot after being locked up for so long.

He set out with great ambition, but as soon as the main gate of the estate was opened, he froze in place.

Outside the gate stood an old man in plain clothing. He had a stature taller than him, and even though his hair already had traces of silver, he remained vigorous and imposing.

The baggage in Marquis Gu's hand fell to the ground with a bang. It was a gift he prepared for Yao shi.

"Fa… Fa… Father... You’re back?"

He was so nervous that he stammered.

Old Marquis's sharp eyes fell on Marquis Gu's face, "Shouldn't you be in the yamen at this hour?"

He didn’t have to go out early for court today, but the yamen was not on holiday.

Marquis Gu broke out in layer upon layer of cold sweat, "I… I was just about to go."

Old Marquis looked at the jewelry scattered on the ground, "With these things?"

Marquis Gu went straight from stuttering to completely mute.

How could he be so unlucky? He skipped work for the first time and was actually caught by his father...

On the way back to the capital, Old Marquis heard a lot of rumors about the Marquis Ding'an Estate, and he was very furious. Marquis Gu being caught skipping work at this time was no different from having court death.

Marquis Gu took a step backward and raised his arms to cover his face, "My face has just recovered!"

Marquis Gu was already a married man with his own career. Old Marquis usually didn’t beat him up unless he really couldn’t help it.

"Ah——"

"Ahh——"

"Ahhh——"

A quarter of an hour later, piercing screams could be heard from Marquis Gu's courtyard.

Huang Zhong, who wasn’t far away, covered his face helplessly, "…"

Sigh.

Let’s not look.

……

In the military camp, Gu Changqing received the news of his grandfather's return to the estate and immediately went back home.

At the same time, Gu Chengfeng in Qinghe Academy also heard the servant boy's report. He exclaimed, "What? My grandfather is back?"

The servant boy trembled and said, "Yes, second young master, don't run around after school, and remember to take the third young master home with you!"

Take Gu Chenglin home? This could be difficult.

Recently, Gu Chenglin's state had been getting more and more muddled.

Gu Chengfeng had never been able to eat meat since he witnessed that bloody operation scene with his own eyes. He often laughed at himself, fearing that he might become a monk someday. As a result, one day, a little monk really came to the door.

It was Little Jing Kong.

Gu Chenglin was resting in Gu Jiao's small courtyard. Little Jing Kong had been here a lot lately, so it was hard not to run into him occasionally.

Little Jing Kong didn’t know Gu Chenglin, and he knew nothing about the enmity and relationship between him and Gu Jiao. He just thought Gu Chenglin was an ordinary patient.

Little Jing Kong was an enthusiastic child. Seeing Gu Chenglin's melancholic and gloomy appearance, he proposed to read Buddhist scriptures for him, "When I was unhappy in the past, Master would recite scriptures for me. After hearing them, I would be happy!"

Gu Chenglin remained dull and continued to ignore him.

Little Jing Kong took it as him agreeing.

He dutifully dug out his small Buddhist monk's attire and small wooden fish, put on his Buddhist prayer beads and Buddhist cap, sat cross-legged on the floor and began to chant scriptures for Gu Chenglin.

Gu Chenglin didn't respond at first, but as he listened, he eventually sat upright with tears in his eyes, finding peace at the bottom of his heart.

"Can Bodhisattva… really save people from suffering?" He asked with a blank look.

Little Jing Kong answered seriously, "Of course! Master said so!"

Gu Chenglin suddenly stood up and bowed respectfully to Little Jing Kong, "I want to become a monk. Asking little master to shave my head for me."

Little Jing Kong: "Oh."

Little Jing Kong ran out, found the razor used to shave the legs of patients, and began to shave Gu Chenglin’s head.

He shaved from left to right, and soon, the left half of his head was shaved clean. When he was about to shave the right side, Gu Chengfeng arrived.

Gu Chengfeng went crazy as soon as he saw this scene, "What the hell are you doing?!”

Little Jing Kong turned to look at Gu Chengfeng with an innocent face and said, "I'm shaving his head. He wants to become a monk."

Gu Chengfeng:“…!!!”

How old are you to be shaving people’s heads? You two are really… one dares to offer his head and one dares to shave!

Gu Chengfeng said in distress, "Grandfather is back, we should hurry back to the estate!"

Gu Chenglin put his palms together and made a Buddhist gesture, "I am now a monk, I am no longer a young master of a Marquis Estate, nor do I know the benefactor’s grandfather. All mundane things have nothing to do with me anymore…… Can I still get back my hair? Wuwu~ "

Gu Chenglin returned to the Marquis Estate with his head half bald and half long-haired.

When Old Marquis, who would remain calm even if the sky collapsed, saw Gu Chenglin's indescribable appearance, he spurted a mouthful of tea!

Only two words flashed through Old Marquis's mind.
