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

This little slap was not very harmful but extremely insulting.

With so many people watching, Ming Junwang lost all face and dignity.

He might not have revealed his identity, however, except for Xiao Liulang, this clueless person from a lower state, who couldn't recognize the imperial guards from the Crown Prince Estate by his side?

He was baffled.

How did this kid become his little aunt's teacher?

What was going on here!

“Wait a minute!”

Furious and ashamed, Ming Junwang suddenly realized something important. He looked angrily at the Little County Princess being held in front of him, pointed at Gu Jiao, and said through gritted teeth, "Why didn’t you believe me when I said I was here to make friends, but you quickly believed him when he said I was here to steal his horse! That's unfair!"

The Little County Princess choked up.

She suddenly felt a bit guilty.

It seemed she indeed had been unfair just now.

However, the Little County Princess also needed to save face, so admitting mistakes was out of the question!

Her eyes darted around, and she said seriously, "Isn't it because you always lie? You have a bad record, and your words are not credible! You can't be trusted!"

“You!”

Ming Junwang was almost angered to death by her!

It was one thing to be slapped by her in public, but now she was even exposing his flaws!

The Little County Princess found a reasonable argument to support herself and immediately felt justified and emboldened, "You don’t admit it? Last year, you secretly went to a cockfight and were caught by the Crown Prince. This year, you cheated by having someone else write your essays! Last month, you lied to the monarch! Humph! Do you think I'm a child too young to remember things?"

It was over, completely over.

His faults were thoroughly exposed by this little one.

Actually, these were all small matters. The cockfighting was just for fun, and the cheating was because he was too lazy to do his homework, not because he couldn't do it. As for lying to the monarch, how could that be called lying?

He said he missed the Emperor day and night; was there anything wrong with that?

How could there be such an annoying child in the world!

Ming Junwang couldn't argue with the Little County Princess. Not only could he not argue, but he also had to coax her and always give in to her.

Otherwise, she would run to the Emperor and complain about him again. After all, she loved to tattle!

Couldn’t he just tattle on her too? Of course, he could, but wouldn’t that be embarrassing?

How old was the Little County Princess and how old was he?

The Little County Princess was completely unaware that Ming Junwang was always giving in to her because of her young age. She always thought it was because her seniority was higher and he had to be filial.

Due to the unexpected intervention of the Little County Princess, Ming Junwang had to leave in disgrace.

Before leaving, he was even forced to bow by the Little County Princess.

Dean Cen and all the students who had secretly gathered to watch breathed a collective sigh of relief.

The Little County Princess had arrived just in time.

Otherwise, who could deal with the mighty Ming Junwang?

Speaking of which, the Little County Princess just berated Ming Junwang for bullying her teacher, but which teacher was she talking about? Xiao Liulang?

At this moment, Mu Qingchen was hurriedly called over by Gu Xiaoshun, only to find that Ming Junwang and Han Che had already left, rendering all his plans useless.

“Little County Princess, why are you here?” Mu Qingchen greeted the Little County Princess.

“Put me down.” Said the Little County Princess.

The servant girl put the Little County Princess down.

The Little County Princess didn’t have others carry her often as that would make her seem very young, and she always remembered that she was a senior in the hierarchy.

The Little County Princess pointed at Gu Jiao and said to Mu Qingchen, "I'm here to find him."

Gu Jiao asked curiously, "What do you want with me?"

"I'm here to learn how to ride a horse." The Little County Princess answered, "I asked you yesterday when you were coming again but you didn't give a definite answer."

Oh, it turned out she should have responded. Gu Jiao thought she could just go over after school.

Gu Jiao sincerely reflected, "That's my fault. I'll pay attention next time."

She had no adult burdens in front of children.

This attitude pleased the Little County Princess very much. She hated it when people beat around the bush, made all sorts of excuses, and treated her like a child, like that disrespectful nephew of hers, Ming Junwang!

The Little County Princess looked at Gu Jiao and said, “You can give me an answer now.”

Gu Jiao replied, "Today after school, I will come to find you. School ends at the hour of youshi(5-7 pm ), and I will be at your place in about half an hour."

The Little County Princess nodded, "Good, that's settled then."

After that, she bid farewell to Gu Jiao and Mu Qingchen, and rode back in a carriage.

Gu Jiao was a bit confused. She had traveled all this way just to ask about the time for her equestrian lesson?

She really didn't understand the world of these little heirs of the imperial family.

......

On the other side, within the mining camp surrounded by mountains, Gu Chengfeng and his team had been digging shafts all day long. The weather was scorching hot, and some of the laborers collapsed from heatstroke on the spot.

Gu Chengfeng himself felt slightly dizzy from the heat, nauseous and weak, but he hadn't reached the point of collapsing.

His sleeves were rolled up high, revealing skin tanned to a wheat-like hue. Every forceful strike of the pickaxe revealed the tight but not overly pronounced muscles on his arms.

Finally, as dusk approached, the grueling labor ended. The laborers were almost paralyzed from exhaustion, and Gu Chengfeng sat down heavily on a stone, sweating profusely and gasping for breath.

Such days had begun for him since he entered the State of Yan. It was either in the mines or somewhere else, but there was never a peaceful day.

During war and battles, he had endured the hardships of life and death, but never had he experienced such a humiliating ordeal as now.

His hands were already calloused, thick with layers of hardened skin, and today even those calluses had been worn through, leaving painful blisters.

He didn't even furrow his brow. He unstrapped a worn-out waterskin from his waist and took a gulp of water mixed with sand.

“Dinner time!”

A supervising officer shouted.

Tired as they were, they still had to eat. Dragging their exhausted bodies, everyone staggered to the tent for their meals.

This time, Gu Chengfeng didn't wait till last. He rushed to the front, grabbed a bowl of thick porridge, and took two large cornmeal steamed buns.

Afterwards, he found a secluded spot and sat down, quickly gobbling down his food.

Looking at the weather, it seemed it would rain tonight.

For this reason, they wouldn't need to continue digging shafts tonight, lest they be buried in them.

After dinner, everyone was escorted back to the barracks and not allowed to go in or out freely.

The weather was oppressively hot, and the barracks were packed with twenty or thirty people, resembling a steaming pot. The unpleasant smell fermented constantly inside.

Gu Chengfeng lay on a wooden plank at the far end, his expression unchanged, as if he had long been accustomed to the stench.

About half an hour later, dark clouds loomed overhead, instantly darkening the sky.

Soon after, lightning and thunder began.

Gu Chengfeng understood——the opportunity to escape had arrived.

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…
