The Fang family's old patriarch couldn't help but feel proud when he saw the helplessness on her face. He had completely forgotten how unhappy he had been before.

"Alright, you should go back first. This is my identity token. From now on, come here every five days and get used to it together with little Xin."

Old Master Fang handed over a wooden token after feeling proud of himself, then waved his hand for Gu Hua Jing to return.

The medallion was very heavy, it was unknown what kind of material it was made of, but when she held it in her hand, it felt as if it weighed a thousand pounds.

When Hours... Usually, at this time, she would still be in bed, not caring about her Shu. At dawn, she would report to the Fang Residence, so it wasn't too close! How early would she get up?! Who was he trying to scam?

Gu Hua Jing left the Bamboo Pavilion with a gloomy expression. The defeated look on her face made Qing Mei and Greenwood's hearts ache.

This Old Master Fang must be too serious. Look at the young mistress, since when did she have such an expression?

After she left the Bamboo Pavilion, Gu Hua Jing was no longer in a mood. Even Fang Wan Xin couldn't make her feel happy.

She simply sent someone to inform Fang Wanxin that she planned to return to the garden directly.

"If someone else became the Fang family's old patriarch's disciple, they would be tempted to announce it to the world. Why does Miss Gu seem like she doesn't want others to know?"

A lazy voice came from the front. Gu Hua Jing raised her head and saw Feng Rong leaning at her side with a smile that was not a smile on her face.

This huge blow caused Gu Hua Jing to instinctively resent Feng Rong's action, which made her a little indifferent. Who would still care about that?

"Greetings, Third Prince."

Gu Hua Jing greeted him nonchalantly and was about to walk towards a nearby alley.

"Miss Gu, shouldn't you thank me?"

Gu Hua Jing stopped, blinking woodenly. Suddenly, she remembered that she hadn't taken out her five hundred taels yet!

Thinking of those five hundred taels of silver, Gu Hua Jing's emotions were somewhat contradictory. It was good to be able to get that much, but if it wasn't for this, she wouldn't be where she was today.

Perhaps she finally realized that the person in front of her was not easy to mess with, but a perfunctory smile appeared on Gu Hua Jing's dull face.

"I thank His Highness the Third Prince for his rewards."

"Reward?"

Feng Rong's lips slightly lifted as she thought about the five hundred taels of silver. She couldn't help but have a faint light flash in her eyes.

In that case, I heard that Gu Hua Jing didn't want to participate in the poetry competition. Was that true?

She can't be... Was it because of his five hundred silver taels that he decided to participate?

The more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed.

Black lines appeared on Gu Hua Jing's forehead. A prince who was so beautiful, showing a strange smile in front of her. Gu Hua Jing didn't know how to describe this kind of scene.

A trace of resistance and fear emerged from the bottom of her heart. Gu Hua Jing felt that she had just gained a lot of courage and dared to be perfunctory in front of this kind of person.

"Your Highness Third Prince, if there's nothing else, I'll take my leave first."

Her sealed eyes slightly narrowed, and it turned into this sort of courteous respect again. It was as if her entire body was covered by a fake shell, causing people to … Very unhappy.

"Just now, this prince was in the Pavilion of Rejuvenation and had the fortuitous encounter to see a poem written by a young lady. I didn't expect this young lady to be such a loyal person. I can't help but sigh."

"Your Highness is too kind."

"It's just that Miss Gu knows that Bai Lingtian was also there just now. Moreover, it's because of him that Lady Gu was able to smoothly become the Fang family's old patriarch's disciple."

"…" Gu Hua Jing's eyes immediately rolled up, unable to retract the white in her eyes.

She had said it like that. Even though she had borrowed Immortal Fang's poems, it was clear from Madam Fang's intentions that she wanted to praise Yao Fengyu. How could she win so easily?

After all, it was Bai Lingtian... Did he have a grudge against him?

"Hahaha, Miss Gu is truly interesting."

"…" Gu Hua Jing raised her head in a daze. She didn't understand where Feng Rong's words came from.

She hadn't said anything, so why was it so interesting?

Moreover, she didn't know if it was because of her imagination, but she felt that the 3rd Prince's mood seemed to be a little different than before.

The strong sense of ambition he had previously felt seemed to have disappeared.

Why?

"Your Highness, if there is nothing else …"

Gu Hua Jing really wanted to leave immediately. If she stayed by Feng Rong's side for a little longer, she would feel a little more danger. If possible, she didn't want to come into contact with such a person at all.

"Calm down, Miss Gu. Your Highness has come today to ask Miss about some matters during the medicinal food."

"Your Highness, please speak."

Feng Rong retracted her laughter, but the smile still remained in her eyes. "I wonder if Miss has studied the medicinal food of children with diseases?"

Pediatric disease? Gu Hua Jing straightened her expression, "This little girl indeed has the same fur as I do. I wonder how old your highness is when you speak of children?" "What are the symptoms of a disease?"

"Ah …" Feng Rong pondered for a moment, "She was eleven or twelve years old, but she suffered from a serious illness earlier. Her spleen and stomach were weak, and she was unable to recover from it. Her face was pale and listless."

While Feng Rong was speaking, Gu Hua Jing's mind was working at high speed.

If he was eleven or twelve years old, he probably wouldn't be Feng Rong's child. However, marriage in the imperial court was already unimaginably long. Who knew?

Feng Rong actually had such a child by her side? She did not want to interfere, as she was sure to be either a rich or a noble.

Gu Hua Jing seemed to be deep in thought for a moment. "Listen, it seems to be due to the deficiency of blood, as well as the lack of Qi from the transformation. You can let your Master prescribe a few medicines and slowly raise him."

"But he doesn't want to take the medicine."

"Your Highness, what a bitter medicine …"

Gu Hua Jing was planning to persuade her well when she heard Feng Rong lightly say, "His mother died from a bowl of medicine causing blood to flow from her seven orifices. Even if it wasn't a bitter medicine, he wouldn't drink it."

Gu Hua Jing was startled, her expression flurried. She didn't know why Feng Rong would say these things to her so casually.

These... Isn't it a secret? Why does he seem to be speaking casually?

"Your Highness …"

"Since you are able to tell the symptoms, Your Highness believes in you. In the future, someone will come to the Flowing Garden to pick you up."

"…" Gu Hua Jing opened her eyes with a face full of surprise. Why? She didn't agree to anything. Did the third prince like to talk to himself so much?

Seeing Feng Rong's peerless figure disappear, Gu Hua Jing was on the verge of collapse. Her brain was swelling, and she was a little dazed.

The blow had been too great. He had first become the Fang family's old patriarch's disciple, and now the Third Prince had come to pick him up …

That's right, there was also her five hundred taels! Things had already gotten to this point, so Gu Hua Jing wouldn't let go of another five hundred liang. Otherwise, wouldn't this day just be a blow to her?

Gu Hua Jing sent someone to get it while she quickly left the Fang Residence.

What a joke, if he stayed any longer and met Bai Lingtian or Han Xizhi again, he would be in deep trouble.

But perhaps, the heavens didn't hear Gu Hua Jing's thoughts. She was halfway through the carriage when, at the mouth of an unremarkable alley, her carriage was stopped.

Qin Fan and Calligraphy Shadow were about to make their move, but the other side did not act impolitely.

"Miss Gu, this one has two words to ask the young lady. Please meet me."

Gu Hua Jing rolled her eyes, "Please leave Master Bai. I have nothing to say to you."

"I am truly confused by Miss's poems today. I am well aware of how much pain they have brought to Miss, but I am only willing to make up for it. Since Miss has treated me like this … Why can't you give me a chance to make amends? "

Bai Lingtian's voice was somewhat stiff, it was really hard for him to say all these.

However, when Gu Hua Jing heard this, she didn't feel moved at all. Instead, she felt a belly full of anger.

She lifted the carriage's curtain and climbed out, looking down at Bai Lingtian, who was standing next to the carriage.

"Young master, are your words truly true and true? But I've already made it clear that you want to make up for it?" Do you think that everything can be made up for? "

"But your poem …"

"What happened to my poem?"

"That poem was written by me. It was written when I was still naive and fantasizing, but now, this poem is only used by me to win the position of the Fang family's Old Master's disciple. Isn't that laughable?"

Gu Hua Jing smiled as she spoke, but her eyes turned ice-cold.

"I just don't want to be a stepping stone for others, so even if I know that it's not suitable, I will take it out and use it. Bai Lingtian, if there's any relationship between us, it can only be hatred. Can you not think too much about it?"

The eagerness on Bai Lingtian's face had disappeared bit by bit. Although it was not easy to see the emotions on his face, it was obvious now.

The servants behind Bai Lingtian were filled with hatred. They hated Gu Huanjing for being so heartless and for hurting their young master's heart so much.

Gu Hua Jing could feel it, but she didn't care.

He was heartless? With all his heart, who would be so ruthless as to just leave a weak girl to fend for herself in the backyard?

She should be hated for not accepting an apology? Sorry, she didn't care who hated who.

"Really? Is there no leeway left?"

Bai Lingtian muttered to himself, making Gu Hua Jing feel a little annoyed. What's the point of having such an influential general like him?

Gu Hua Jing really wanted to find a chair and have a good talk with him. There was no such thing as grass in this world. A good horse doesn't eat grass!

"Yes."

Bai Lingtian looked up in a split-second. The warmth in his eyes that was always filled with coldness made Gu Hua Jing's heart soften for an instant.

But when she thought of the true Gu Hua Jing, who had lost her life, Gu Hua Jing hardened her heart.

"I once swore on my deathbed that I would not spare any of those who bullied me. After they received their due retribution, naturally, I would let go of my hatred. Look, it was so simple."

Just as Gu Hua Jing finished her sentence, a trace of pain flashed through Bai Lingtian's eyes.

Those who bullied her... Those people were his dearest relatives …

Seeing Bai Lingtian standing still on the spot, Gu Hua Jing knew that she had made it clear enough.
