The Grand Secretary’s Pampered Wife

Xiao Liulang couldn't wait to find a crack to crawl into.

Gu Jiao left in a good mood and washed all the dishes while humming a tune.

The next day.

Xiao Liulang and Little Jing Kong went to the Imperial Academy as usual.

Gu Xiaoshun was someone who ate fast while Gu Yan was someone who ate little. Both of them had already gone out with their book bags too.

Xiao Liulang didn't take the dismissal documents written by Director Zheng to heart. He was simply too familiar with the rules of the Imperial Academy. Director Zheng’s tricks could scare others but not him as the real dismissal documents must be signed by the Chief.

It was worth mentioning that after the student mistreatment and corruption case of Director Zheng came out, the Chief seal in his possession was taken back by His Majesty.

The real plan of Director Zheng should be to scare Xiao Liulang and make Xiao Liulang and Little Jing Kong quit on their own, and then he would report that they dropped out of school voluntarily.

Xiao Liulang sent Little Jing Kong to the gate of the private elementary school and said, "No more getting into trouble today."

Little Jing Kong rolled his eyes, "Is tomorrow fine then?"

Xiao Liulang: The older you get, the more worrying you are, aren’t you?

"Go to your class!" Xiao Liulang said solemnly.

"Oh." Little Jing Kong slowly headed inside with the bookbag in his arms.

"Wait a moment." Xiao Liulang stopped him and ordered, "Hand over the stone in your pocket."

Little Jing Kong said in a serious tone, "Little Stone said it wanted to attend class today."

Xiao Liulang replied with a deadpan face, "Does that slingshot want to go to class as well?"

Little Jing Kong choked up. How did you know I brought a slingshot with me? I hid it so well!

Xiao Liulang: Hehehe. You might have fooled me once, but do you really think you can fool me again?

In the end, Little Jing Kong's playthings were successfully confiscated by Xiao Liulang.

Little Jing Kong walked forward with his bookbag, drooping his head and sighing as he walked.

Sigh.

....It really wasn’t easy.

Looking at the slingshot in his hand, the corner of Xiao Liulang’s mouth couldn’t help but twitch. The bigger the little guy got, the more ideas he had in his head.

Meanwhile, shortly after Director Zheng was left fuming by His Majesty, this one big cheater, he got a big fright from Marquis Xuanping, this one Killer God, and really fell ill. He wouldn’t be able to do evil for at least a month.

There was less snow in the first month than in the twelfth month, but the weather had yet to completely warm up.

Yao shi sat in the heating room making clothes for Gu Jiao. Gu Jiao had grown taller again. Perhaps it was because she was malnourished in the past, but now she had started to grow properly.

Yao Shi didn’t like to make clothes that were too big for her daughter. They all fit just right, so Gu Jiao was already unable to wear them in a month or two.

"Where is the gold thread sent by the Old Madame?" Yao shi asked Grannie Fang.

Nowadays, Yao shi gained the favor of Old Madame Gu, who gave her daughter-in-law a lot of good things.

Naturally, Old Madame Gu was doing this not because she liked Yao shi, but because she enjoyed the way Yao shi obediently waited upon her. Yao shi's massage was especially good and her snacks were also delicious.

"Ah? I remember putting it in the basket." Grannie Fang went to search the embroidery basket.

Yao shi said, "If you can't find it, hand me the silver thread first. I'll first embroider the cloud pattern."

People were getting on in years and their memory started to get bad. Recently, Grannie Fang had repeatedly lost some things.

Grannie Fang handed the silver thread to Yao shi.

Yao shi thread the needle and was about to pierce it down when a servant girl outside the door drew open the curtain, "Madame, the Old Madame wants you to go to Pine Crane Courtyard."

Yao shi put down the needle and thread in her hand and said, "I understand. Go and report back, say I'll be right there in a minute."

"Yes!" The servant girl went accordingly.

Grannie Fang felt sorry for Yao shi, saying, "Madame just came from Pine Crane Courtyard. Madame has it hard."

Yao shi smiled faintly, "What's hard about this? I'm just being a filial daughter-in-law in front of my mother-in-law. Which daughter-in-law isn’t the same? When it comes to hardship, this can’t even compare to half of what JiaoJiao had gone through, can it?"

Grannie Fang was unable to refute.

Eldest young miss had really suffered so much hardship. In the first few years, she was mentally challenged and was bullied by that damn Gu Family in the countryside. Although she had now recovered, her husband in the family had to study.

Right now, four of her family members were studying, but she had never taken a coin from the Marquis Estate and instead earned all the money by herself.

"Alright, let’s go to the Pine Crane Courtyard. Let’s not keep the Old Madame waiting." Yao shi packed up half the clothes she made for her daughter, put on a cloak and went to Pine Crane Courtyard.

When she arrived at the Pine Crane Courtyard, she found that Concubine Ling was also there.

Concubine Ling didn’t look well.

"Mother." Yao shi gave Old Madame Gu a salute.

Concubine Ling stood up with a smile and saluted Yao shi, "Madame."

Yao shi nodded at her.

Seeing Yao shi giving Concubine Ling such face, Old Madame Gu was very pleased and asked people to serve Yao shi tea.

Yao shi took a seat, and the servant girl served her warm tea.
