Chapter 589
"Well, the last time." Gu Tuo still said, most of the surprise in his eyes finally dissipated.

Xia Ying quickly patted her chest, and she wanted to push him away. "Then let's go out now! I promised to compensate Chen Shanchang for two taels of silver for his medical expenses and a set of clothes. I have to hurry to get the money!"

"No, wait a little longer."

The man pushed her back.

"What are you going to do—uh!"

Xia Ying still wanted to ask a question, but who knew that this man suddenly lowered his head and sealed her lips with lightning speed!
But Xia Ying was just stunned, and she took the initiative to hug his neck tightly with both hands, and the two of them fell in love silently.

When the two of them came out of the room again, Gu Tuo's spirit was much better.

Song Jinyan noticed something wrong between these two people with sharp eyes!

He hurried to Gu Tuo's side, and teased him with a voice that only two people could hear: "Brother-in-law, this is Bailu Academy! You have already attended Brother Long's apprentice banquet, and you are going home soon. You can't even stand it for a while?"

Gu Tuo gave him a white look. "I don't know who was pestering his wife to make out last night."

Song Jinyan immediately looked like he had seen a ghost. "How did you know?"

"I can't help it, I have good hearing." Gu Tuo only said.

Song Jinyan immediately wilted like an eggplant beaten by frost.

Xia Ying saw the interaction between these two people, she shook her head helplessly, and hurried to the kitchen to help her two sons cook together.

After the meal was ready, she specially packed an extra portion of steamed lion's head and a bowl of fish soup, and then handed them to Gu Yuanlong and Gu Yuanhao brothers. "You give these two dishes and the silver to Chen Shanchang, and say that it is my compensation and gratitude to him."

"it is good!"

The two children readily agreed, and left with their things.

After a while, they came back.

"Mother, Master Chen has collected the things!"

"But he didn't say anything!"

"Just accept it." Xia Ying smiled, and she quickly pulled the two children to her side, "Let's eat!"

After eating, talk to Gu Yuanlong again, Xia Ying and his party are about to leave.

After all, they have been away from the provincial capital for too long, and there is still a pile of work at home waiting for them to go home to deal with!

Although Gu Yuanlong was full of reluctance, he still sent them to the gate of the academy.Seeing that their chariots and horses had gone far away, he withdrew his gaze and slowly turned back to Chief Tang Shan.

"Master, the disciple is back."

"Well. Now that you're back, pack up your things quickly, and go out to study with your teacher from tomorrow!" Although Tang Shanzhang had a few obvious scratches on his face, his facial expression was still very solemn and shocking. Dare not give birth to any ridicule.

"Yes."

Gu Yuanlong saluted obediently.

After Xia Ying left Bailu Academy, they said goodbye to Song Jinyan's family first.

Back in the provincial capital, Xia Ying originally planned to say goodbye to Miss Zhifu and Master Huang at the gate of the city, but she didn't want Master Huang to speak to Gu Tuo first: "Master Gu, yesterday I received a secret letter from Master Zhifu, The old man thinks it is necessary to show you this letter."

"Since it's a secret letter from the magistrate to Master Huang, why don't you give it to an outsider?" Gu Tuo said.

"The secret letter contains information that is closely related to your Gu family. I think it's better for you to know in advance." Master Huang said.

While speaking, he had already handed the secret letter to Gu Tuo on his own initiative.

Gu Tuo immediately turned his head and looked at Xia Ying who was in the carriage.

They all knew clearly in their hearts: Master Huang's move is nothing but courteousness, it is either rape or stealing!

And seeing that he received the secret letter yesterday, but only handed it over to Gu Tuo today, it is clear that he deliberately missed this point in time!He just let Gu Tuo know about it at this time!

And it must be Mao Zhifu's instruction that allowed Master Huang to make such an arrangement.

They did it on purpose!
In other words, there is probably a big storm brewing waiting for them in the current provincial capital!
So Gu Tuo's glance at her exhausted the hesitation deep in his heart - should he accept this letter?If he accepted it, he owed magistrate Mao a big favor, and he would not be able to refuse any requests from magistrate mao in the future.But if they don't pick up and just rush back to the provincial capital like this, what if the big storm knocks them out of their wits and they don't have time to react?

After all, even magistrate Mao thought of telling him the news in advance, it must not be simple news!

Knowing his embarrassment, Xia Ying directly took the letter from Master Huang.

"Forget it, look at me if you don't! Sister Long, let's watch together! I want to see, what kind of medicine is buried in your father's gourd!"

She directly skipped Gu Tuo and went to read the secret letter by herself, so it was not considered that she had completely received the favor of the magistrate.Now that she brought Miss Zhifu together, Miss Zhifu became her accomplice.Moreover, Miss Zhifu is already obedient to her now, as long as she seizes the time to instill something in Miss Zhifu's mind now, she won't worry about looking back when Zhifu really asks, Miss Zhifu will not assist her!

When Master Huang saw this, he couldn't laugh or cry.

"Madam Gu, you can't do this! Our magistrate has good intentions!"

"I believe in good intentions, but I don't believe that he has no selfish intentions. So, we'd better be more prepared!" Xia Ying snorted, she had already opened the envelope.

After seeing the contents of the secret letter clearly, Xia Ying began to grit her teeth.

Miss Zhifu couldn't resist Xia Ying, so she also read it.Then she gasped.

"How could this Ye Yongsheng be so shameless? They actually slandered you like this!"

"It's really not a slander." Xia Ying said softly.

Miss Zhifu was taken aback again.

Master Huang also raised his eyebrows. "Is what the letter said true?"

After Xia Ying finished reading it, Gu Tuo had already taken the letter and read it at a glance.

When he returned the letter to Master Huang, a sneer appeared on the corner of the man's lips. "Since the magistrate has written a secret letter to Master Huang so solemnly, and you have delayed telling us the news until this time, don't all these things indicate one thing - did you actually know about it long ago? That being the case, why do you pretend to be confused here?"

Miss Zhifu is still buzzing in her mind.

"Sister Yingniang, all this is really true? Then you, you..."

"That's right, the secret that Ye Yongsheng told Magistrate Mao is true. My man is not a descendant of the Gu family at all, and his surname is not Gu at all!" Xia Ying nodded, and she said this word by word. .
