Just as Qiao Xi was muttering in her heart, Gu Zheng suddenly coughed.
Liang Pingchuan knew that Gu Zheng must have heard something. Moreover, Little Six did not know this secret. He did not know what nonsense she was thinking about in her mind.
He looked up at Gu Zheng and realized that he was also looking at him. The two of them looked away.
Qiao Xi suddenly said, âTeacher, you seemed to have something to tell me just now. What do I not know?â
Liang Pingchuan hesitated. He wanted to tell Little Six that using blood to save someone had side effects. The other party would be able to hear her thoughts.
Nowâ¦
Liang Pingchuan frowned.
Gu Zheng seemed to enjoy this kind of feeling. If he told her about this, would it not ruin the fun between the couple?
Hence, he cleared his throat and said, âI donât remember.â
Qiao Xi sighed. âAlas, youâre old now and your memory isnât good anymore.â
Liang Pingchuan: ââ¦â
Little brat!
When Liang Pingchuan left, he instructed in a low voice, âLittle Six, weâre not on the mountain now. You have to restrain yourself outside. Donâtââ
âDonât keep thinking nonsense. Thereâs no need to pretend to be weak on the surface.â
However, before he could finish his sentence, Qiao Xi said with a puzzled expression, âRestrain myself? Gu Zheng is very good to me!â
Liang Pingchuan: ââ¦â âYou donât understand me!â
He looked at Gu Zheng with a meaningful gaze and wanted to say something, but he suddenly saw a very ordinary-looking jade token hanging on Qiao Xiâs neck. His entire body instantly trembled.
This wasâ¦
Liang Pingchuan looked up in shock. âPresident Gu? You gave this to her?â
Gu Zhengâs expression was calm. âI gave her a small gift.â
Qiao Xi nodded. âYes, Teacher, whatâs strange about it?â
It was just a jade token. Compared to the other gifts Gu Zheng had given her, this was considered cheap. However, the center of the jade token was empty. It was just enough to hold a few silver needles. If necessary, it could be used as a concealed weapon.
Liang Pingchuan: â!!!â This jade token was the Husbandâs Decree of the Gu family! How could Little Six not know this?
Liang Pingchuan had heard of the Husbandâs Decree. It was something only the mistress of the Gu family could possess. A Husbandâs Decree could command the entire Gu family.
The Gu familyâs assets were owned by the head of the family and the madam who held the Husbandâs Decree. With the Husbandâs Decree, it meant that Little Six owned half of the Gu familyâs assets.
Rumor had it that the Husbandâs Decree was lost and no mistress had received it in the past hundred years.
Liang Pingchuan thought that the Gu family had long since abolished the Husbandâs Decree. Who would have thought that Gu Zheng would actually give it to Qiao Xi?
Most importantly⦠she did not know!
Liang Pingchuan was speechless. âPresident Gu, Iâm afraid thatâs not appropriate.ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Little Six was holding the Husbandâs Decree. If someone were to see this, they would definitely think of ways to deal with her.
Gu Zheng said indifferently, âThereâs nothing wrong with it.â
Liang Pingchuan was about to retort when Gu Zheng said seriously, âSince I gave it to her, it means that I can protect her.â
She was the person most qualified to hold the Husbandâs Decree.
Liang Pingchuan took a deep breath and waved his hand to get Qiao Xi to leave his side. He lowered his voice and asked, âPresident Gu, Little Six is stubborn by nature. She grew up on the mountain and hates being tied down. Even with the Husbandâs Decree and the blood treatment, you canât control her.â
Gu Zheng understood Liang Pingchuanâs intentions, so he promised, âMr. Liang, Iâm not trying to control her, but I think she has the right to hold the Husbandâs Decree. I also have the ability to protect her without worry, and the blood treatmentâ¦â
Liang Pingchuan thought that Gu Zheng would promise not to hurt Little Six because of her blood.
However, Gu Zheng became serious. âI wonât take her blood anymore, much less let her be injured.â
That time, he had lost consciousness because of the poison and allowed Qiao Xi to save him with her blood.
If his poison remained a mystery, wouldnât he have to continue taking Qiao Xiâs blood? It might even cause irreversible harm to her.
Gu Zheng could not bear to see her take such a risk.
Liang Pingchuanâs heart trembled as he sighed. âAlright, bring Little Six home, then.â
The man Little Six had taken a liking to was really not bad. After all, they had known each other for ten years.. He was bold and responsible. He was a good man!
