32 Embrace

Gu Jiao had never had a bed with anyone in her previous life, and she didn't even have a female roommate. She thought she would be unable to sleep, but in a short while she fell asleep in that reassuring breath.

She went to see Duke Zhou, but Xiao Liulang didn't fall asleep so quickly.

He looked at Gu Jiao who was lying beside him, and the thin snow light fell on her face through the window paper. She lay on her side, and half of her face with birthmarks was pressed down below.

She was probably really afraid of the cold, her little face was flushed with cold, her eye feathers were long, and her facial features were delicate. If she had no birthmark, she would have been a beautiful and unconventional girl.

Inexplicably, a trace of regret flashed through Xiao Liulang's heart.

But soon, he frowned again and wiped this emotion out of his heart.

Xiao Liulang had a very good sleeping look and almost motionless all night.

Gu Jiao was quite obedient. Apart from leaning against Xiao Liulang, she hugged Xiao Liulang with her hands and feet, and her little head was also resting on Xiao Liulang's shoulders. There was nothing else.

Gu Jiao slept until dawn. When she woke up, Xiao Liulang had already gotten up and was sitting by the window reading a book.

The sky shone through the window paper, reflecting his handsome face. I wonder if it was Gu Jiao's illusion, but he seemed to blush a little.

"You're awake." Xiao Liulang greeted Gu Jiao seriously, but his eyes did not look at Gu Jiao on the bed.

"Well, I'm awake, it's early." Gu Jiao rubbed her eyes and yawned a little. She had just woken up and was still confused, unconsciously carrying a hint of lazy little breasts.

Early in the morning, who can stand this normal man?

Xiao Liulang felt his chest swelling and almost stood up: "I'll buy breakfast!"

After saying that, he opened the door and went out, leaving only Gu Jiao scratching her little head with a confused look on her face.

The snow stopped in the middle of the night, and the sun was particularly bright today.

Because the academy is resting today, after breakfast, the two of them hired a mule cart to return to the village.

When I passed by the entrance of the village, I heard the villagers who were fetching water by the ancient well: It suddenly snowed yesterday, and several nights of people who returned to the village were injured. There were also people who overturned mule carts into the gutter in the next village. I heard that everyone had lost half their lives.

Xiao Liulang thought about the fact that he wanted to hire a car to return to the village last night. If she hadn't suggested staying in the inn for one night, they might have suffered an accident.

Xiao Liulang just didn't know what to say now.

After all... this is the third time she has avoided a disaster.

The two went home.

The old lady got up and was sitting in the main hall sulking.

Yesterday, Gu Jiao thought the matter would end very early, so she and Xiao Liulang could come back before the snow, so she only left a lunch in the pot. Unexpectedly, the teachers in the academy were so good at doing things, and pestered Xiao Liulang to ask about the heavy snow.

In order to avoid the misfortune in her dream, she could only pull Xiao Liulang to stay overnight in the town.

The old lady can’t burn the fire. She gnawed the cold steamed buns last night, and this morning she gnawed the cold steamed buns again, and her teeth were almost broken!

Gu Jiao was quite puzzled. You said that you were poor and old ladies, why wouldn’t you burn the fire? Are you an old lady from a wealthy family or the empress dowager in the dynasty?

Gu Jiao silently took out a bag of candied fruit and a box of osmanthus cakes: "Allow you to eat two more today."

Old lady: "No! Five!"

Gu Jiao: "Three."

Old lady: "Trade!"

The old lady carried candied fruit and osmanthus cake, carried her body and started eating.

The arrest of Gu Dashun and the Zhou Liu family had already spread in the village, and even the village next door had come to see the fun. They didn't know what this matter had to do with Xiao Liulang and Gu Jiao, so they all went to the Gu family's old house to find out the news.

At noon, two constables came to the door and they came to find Gu Jiao.

It turned out that after Zhou and Liu were arrested and went to the yamen, they honestly explained the origin of the silver under severe interrogation: it fell from the man who fought with the little fool. They became greedy for a moment and returned to the village with the silver before the little fool came back.

"Ah, so that's the case. I asked why I didn't see the two aunts when I went back?" Gu Jiao said with a sudden enlightenment.

The detective looked at him: "Why are you fighting?"

Gu Jiao said coldly: "He hit me! He bullied me! He even scolded me!"

I was hit and scolded by someone, so I chased and chopped them up with a sickle and cut them down for several streets. Girl, you are a hero.

If someone else did this, the constables would be suspicious. However, they had learned from Zhou and Liu that Gu Jiao was a fool and that his behavior could not be judged by common sense.

Therefore, even when I got here, no one suspected that Gu Jiao was deliberately squatting there and waiting for the rabbit, and deliberately drove the thief away, leaving money for the Zhou and the others to be greedy for. Even the Zhou Liu family thought that everything was just an accident.

Only Xiao Liulang felt that everything was so coincidental.

"That person may be a thief, how did he end up doing?" said the detective.

"He ran away." Gu Jiao spread her hands.

"Do you still remember his appearance?" the detective asked again.

"He looks... well..." Gu Jiao gesturing while recalling. Another constable was a painter in the yamen. He drew the look of a thief, "Is that true?"

"Well..." Gu Jiao frowned.

At this time, Xiao Liulang walked out with a portrait.

Gu Jiao's eyes lit up: "Yes! That's this person!"

The constable exchanged an awkward look with the painter. The dignified yamen painter suddenly couldn't draw a student. Is it true that the job was smashed?

After getting the portrait, the yamen quickly solved the case.

However, Zhou and Liu were not released by the yamen immediately because when the yamen's constable came to the Gu family to ask where the money came from, they swear to insist that they were sold by themselves.

The amount was huge, and the lying and refusing to pay the money was completely constituted for the crime of embezzlement. One person was fined twenty taels of silver and beaten thirty pounds.
