Other courtyard.

Su Xiaomu has taken up a new hobby recently, which is to go shopping when she has nothing to do.

The most important thing around her now is money. In the past two months, Fucheng has given her a banknote every half month.

Although the above amount is not very huge, it is still enough for Su Xiaomu to spend a little money in the capital.

The financial freedom that I had not achieved before was finally achieved after I started working again.

Su Xiaomu bought herself many new clothes and jewelry, and also customized some novel small ornaments.

She also liked to visit some shops in the Western Regions and bought a lot of Strange Stories from the Western Regions for Gu Jingcheng.

Although Gu Jingcheng is currently busy with the imperial examination and has no time to read these idle books, Su Xiaomu upholds the principle of helping each other as a family and helps him read them all.

The two of them sat together for dinner in the evening, and Su Xiaomu also shared with him what she saw and heard on the street today, the stories she read in books and the principles she learned.

But this time was a little different from the previous nights.

"Today there was a bully in the capital. He was beaten for some reason, and he was beaten very badly. His head was broken, bleeding a lot, and his arm was broken. When he went to the hospital, he behaved in a very twisted way.

Fold back.”

Su Xiaomu looked at Gu Jingcheng's calm face and said slowly, "After suffering such a serious injury, that bully reported it to the police."

"Report to the official?" Gu Jingcheng repeated Su Xiaomu's words.

"Yes, you were beaten so badly, don't you have to report it to the official?"

Su Xiaomu had sharp eyes, and Gu Jingcheng saw the bruises on his wrists when he first walked in.

She grabbed his arm, staring at his palm-sized bruises and a few scratches, and said, "That bully was beaten, what about you? It's impossible for such injuries to fall on your own on the road.

Yeah, so, were you beaten too?"

"I just can't see others hurting you, and I want to use my own strength to protect you. That person is a bully. Since he is used to meeting violence with violence, it doesn't hurt if I beat him up."

Gu Jingcheng looked at Su Xiaomu with the same gentle eyes as before. He held her soft palm and said in a gentle and caring tone: "As long as I am here, no one can hurt you."

"But don't be so impulsive next time. It's too dangerous. I don't mean to belittle you. It's just that if you think about it, you only did reading in the first half of your life. You are definitely not as strong as that evil man who used his own strength."

Comparing your shortcomings with other people's strengths, don't you never do such stupid things?"

Su Xiaomu tried her best to persuade Gu Jingcheng. She was very touched that Gu Jingcheng protected her, but it was still not advisable to use brute force to solve the problem.

What's more, Gu Jingcheng is now about to take the exam, and she doesn't want Gu Jingcheng to get into trouble.

"Okay, I promise you whatever you say."

Gu Jingcheng rubbed Su Xiaomu's palm, and the smile on his lips continued: "I will do things more tactfully next time."

"I will also find a way myself. You have forgotten that I am not someone who will suffer the consequences of being dumb."

Su Xiaomu had his own plans for the bully.

But right now, she wasn't ready to deal with this bully. Su Xiaomu wanted to go back before Gu Jingcheng took the exam.

She was thinking about going home. She lowered her eyes and thought for a while before saying to Gu Jingcheng: "Yesterday I received a letter from Fucheng. There is something wrong with the business there. I plan to go back to check the situation, so I will talk to you today.

Farewell."

Su Xiaomu was also thinking about whether to say goodbye to Gu Jingcheng in person or leave him a letter before leaving.

After all, the relationship between the two of them has been good recently, so it is inevitable that they will be a little reluctant to part ways.

"Then will you come back?" Gu Jingcheng tightened his hands. He froze first, then looked at Su Xiaomu pitifully, "You promised me that you would accompany me in the exam."

"Of course I will come back. I will not forget the agreement I made with you. I just wanted to go back and have a look, and arrange some new things for them by the way. Don't worry."

Su Xiaomu solemnly promised Gu Jingcheng.

After the two of them finished eating, Gu Jingcheng went to the study room to read.

Su Xiaomu was busy packing things in the bedroom because he had to go back the next day.

Outside the window, there was the sound of wind, birds, leaves swaying, and the sound of human feet breaking dead branches and leaves that Su Xiaomu didn't hear.

Zhou Lin climbed through the window and entered Gu Jingcheng's study. He also bought a villa not far from this villa. The two of them were still neighbors in this "wilderness".

After coming to the moon, Zhou Lin wiped the dew off his head with a little irritability. He entered the room and found a seat farthest away from Gu Jingcheng and sat down. He said to Gu Jingcheng with a bitter look on his face.

"If your wife wants to go back, just go back. She has been on officialdom all the way. Nothing can happen to her. On the contrary, it's me. I haven't slept well in the past few days. I'm worried that if I stay up any longer, I'm going to die soon."

I won’t see the sun tomorrow!”

The wealth of the capital city is charming. Zhou Lin has been traveling around with his new friends these days, and he has seen a lot of the world.

No wonder everyone wants to come to the capital to make a living, and business people want to open their shops in the capital to attract customers from all over the world.

Those who study want to enter the Hanlin Academy, and become a bachelor and become a great scholar.

The capital was so tolerant, and Zhou Lin had so much fun that he couldn't bear to go back.

He spoke to Gu Jingcheng with a surging face. Gu Jingcheng naturally noticed the change in Zhou Lin's mood. If he felt a little guilty towards Zhou Lin at the beginning of this incident, now, Gu Jingcheng feels that his arrangement is very right.

"If you know that you have stayed up too late, go to bed early. Besides, even if it is official, it is still dangerous for a woman to walk for several days. You have nothing to do now, so why not help me send her back? Your father wrote to me a few days ago

, every time I ask you about your situation in Beijing, now that you have new considerations about your future, I can no longer help you deceive you like I did before."

After all, his father was worried about Zhou Lin in the capital.

But if he wrote a letter to Zhou Lin, his son, in person, Zhou Lin would not be willing to reply.

Gu Jingcheng acted as a hub between father and son, conveying what they wanted to say to each other. He also helped Zhou Lin, a good brother, hide many things from his father.

"I know you have trouble dealing with the old man, okay, okay, who made her your wife and my sister-in-law? Just send her back and go back, just in time to explain everything about me to my old man clearly, and..."

Zhou Lin approached Gu Jingcheng in a thief manner and said to Gu Jingcheng with ill intentions: "I know you are also worried that Mrs. Su will not come back after she leaves. You want me to help you supervise her. Don't worry.
