Chapter 115 Gu Chengyan Wants to Kill Someone?
Chu Nanxin emerged from the shadows, glanced at the guards in front of the Marquis's mansion, and then got into her sedan chair and left.
As a concubine, she was not entitled to ride in a carriage; she had to rent this sedan chair at her own expense.
When Gu Chengyan saw it was her, a flash of undisguised disgust crossed his eyes, and he said coldly, "Why are you here?"
The disgust in his tone was like the frost of the twelfth lunar month, chilling to the bone.
Chu Nanxin seemed oblivious, her eyes crinkling with a smile as she handed over the bundle in her hands, inside which lay a pair of brand-new boots.
"The weather is getting cold, and it must be tiring for you to study. I have made you a new pair of shoes. If you wear them, your feet will be warm, and your body will be warmer as well."
Chu Nanxin deliberately let Gu Chengyan see the needle marks on her fingertips.
Although she was a concubine's daughter, she had been pampered and spoiled in the Chu family. She had learned needlework, but only embroidered ordinary handkerchiefs.
Making shoes was a first for me.
"Thanks for your hard work."
Gu Chengyan noticed the needle marks on her hand, but his tone remained indifferent, revealing no emotion.
These three simple words were enough to make Chu Nan's heart leap with joy.
She thought that since she was the only woman by Gu Chengyan's side now, as long as she was patient, she would be able to win his heart in time.
"Young master, is there anything else you need? I will send it to you in a few days."
Gu Chengyan didn't reply, leaving her with only a cold back view before striding away.
Chu Nanxin took a deep breath, suppressing the slight disappointment rising in her heart.
It's okay, there's plenty of time, she can take it slow...
Gu Chengyan, carrying his bundle, strode into Baima Academy. Ancient trees towered along the way, and only the sound of students reading aloud could be heard from time to time.
As soon as Gu Chengyan entered his study, before he could even sit down, he keenly sensed an unusual atmosphere.
"Oh, look who it is!" A shrill voice suddenly rang out, breaking the tranquility of the study.
Gu Chengyan looked up and saw several classmates surrounding him with ill intentions.
These individuals, relying on their families' influence, acted arrogantly and domineeringly in the academy.
Since he arrived, the group has tried every means to make things difficult for him and ostracize him.
All of these people combined are not as noble as the third young master of the Marquis's mansion.
Gu Chengyan initially thought they were sent by the Prince Yong's Mansion and the Duke of Wei's Mansion, which is why he had been holding back.
Marquis Anyang also instructed him to study hard and not to cause trouble.
Little did he know, these people were all bribed and instructed by Chu Ruohan...
Liu Kang looked Gu Chengyan up and down, a mocking smile on his lips, and said in a sarcastic tone, "Judging from your expression, Young Master Gu, it's as if you've been bewitched by something. Could it be that you've been bewitched by some vixen, which is why you look so lost and disoriented?"
After saying that, he deliberately glanced sideways at the bundle in Gu Chengyan's hand, his eyes seeming to imply something unsavory.
Upon hearing this, the people around burst into laughter.
Gu Chengyan frowned slightly. He realized that simply enduring it would only embolden these people.
Seeing that Gu Chengyan remained silent, Liu Kang assumed he was afraid and became even more smug.
"Young Master Gu always acts so aloof, I thought he had some great abilities, but it turns out he's just a mediocre person indulging in romantic entanglements..."
As he spoke, he reached out to snatch the bundle from Gu Chengyan's hands.
Gu Chengyan dodged Liu Kang's hand by sidestepping, and forcefully pressed him down onto the desk.
Liu Kang was caught off guard by this sudden counterattack, and his body slammed heavily against the edge of the desk with a dull thud.
"Gu Chengyan, this is the academy, do you dare to make a move?"
Gu Chengyan's face was as cold as frost. The brush in his hand moved over Liu Kang's neck. The movement seemed gentle, but it made the surrounding air seem to freeze.
No one expected that this seemingly ordinary calligraphy brush had a tiny sharp knife hidden at the other end.
"Liu Kang," Gu Chengyan's voice was low and cold, "you have repeatedly provoked me. Do you really think I, Gu Chengyan, am a pushover?"
"Today I'm going to show you that some people are not to be trifled with."
Liu Kang felt a chill on his neck, and his body trembled slightly. His previous arrogance vanished without a trace.
His legs went weak, and he could barely stand. He began to stammer and beg for mercy: "Young Master Gu... I... I was wrong. I was blind to your greatness. Please forgive me this time."
The classmates around were stunned. They stared wide-eyed at the scene before them, not daring to breathe.
Originally, it was thought that Gu Chengyan would continue to endure, but unexpectedly, he launched such a strong counterattack, and the methods were so unexpected.
They secretly rejoiced, thankful that they hadn't gone as far as Liu Kang, otherwise they might be the ones with knives pressed against their necks right now.
Just then, there was a burst of hurried footsteps outside the door.
Gu Chengyan felt a chill run down his spine. He knew that if the academy's teachers or other managers saw this scene, even if he was in the right, he would still be punished.
But he was unwilling to let Liu Kang go so easily. He quickly thought of a solution, but his grip on the dagger remained firm.
The footsteps grew closer, and a glimmer of hope flashed in Liu Kang's eyes. He began to shout again, "Help! Gu Chengyan is going to kill someone!"
Gu Chengyan snorted coldly and said in a low voice, "If you dare to shout again, I'll send you to your death right now."
Startled by his words, Liu Kang immediately shut his mouth and could only look at Gu Chengyan with a terrified expression.
The door creaked open, and Mr. Hu came in. Inside, several people were reading or practicing calligraphy, creating a peaceful atmosphere.
The air was thick with the stench of urine, and Liu Kang was so frightened that he wet himself; his legs were still trembling.
A cold smile curled at the corner of Gu Chengyan's lips. He could finally have some peace and quiet for a while...
Autumn is in full swing, the sun hangs high in the sky, and its gentle rays fall on the sandalwood desk.
Gu Yun sat on Gu Junze's lap, looking exceptionally well-behaved.
Gu Junze leaned down slightly, his large, kind hand gently holding Gu Yun's small, tender hand. "Yun'er, watch carefully. Writing the character '一' may seem simple, but it's actually quite intricate."
After saying that, he took Gu Yun's hand and slowly placed the brush on the clean white Xuan paper.
"When you put pen to paper, you should pause briefly, maintain a steady pace, and apply firm pressure. Just like in life, you must accept the pauses that bring setbacks in order to have a smooth life ahead."
The brush fell steadily on the paper. Gu Junze exerted a little force with his wrist, guiding Gu Yun's small hand. The stroke was smooth and the pressure was even, just like a gently flowing stream.
Gu Yun stared intently at the tip of the pen, her little head filled with her father's words.
On the soft couch to the side, Chu Ruohan leaned back, holding an ancient scroll in her hands, but her eyes were glancing at the father and son.
Gu Junze appeared to be teaching Gu Yun to write, but in reality, he was teaching him principles of conduct and life, not wanting his father's death to leave a shadow in the little guy's heart.
A servant rushed in, disregarding all decorum, his voice filled with anxiety, "Young Master, something terrible has happened! The Marquis is going to throw the Second Young Master out! You'd better go and see!"
