After bidding farewell to Fang Yue, Su Mo entered the house.

Gu Guanshi immediately came over, with a complex and hesitant look on his face. After much hesitation, he finally spoke, "Madam, there are some things I want to say, I don't know whether to say them or not..."

"Uncle Gu, just tell me."

"Then the old slave said it bluntly."

Gu Guanshi got Su Mo's correct words, his expression changed drastically, and he quietly straightened his back.

"Knowing people but not knowing their hearts. Although that woman used to be good friends with you, madam, times have changed. Moreover, she has a brother-sister relationship with that evil man. You have received his kindness and now you can repay her. I have no objection. , but I can’t believe her excuse for that bad guy.”

If someone encounters a close brother trying to kill his sister who is sworn to Jinlan, he should be in a dilemma and be embarrassed to meet him.

But Fang Yue actually came to visit and shamelessly excused his brother. Such behavior showed that his intentions were evil.

Gu Gu’s image of Fang Yue is extremely poor.

Su Mo understood. She didn't refute anything, nor did she explain the inside story to him.

He just nodded slightly and said with a slight smile: "Uncle Gu, don't worry, I know it all."

Gu Guanshi is also a sensible person. Hearing this, he kept silent and took a step back.

This is where the story ends.

In the evening, Minglu Academy.

Tomorrow is the day of rest.

The academy has always been under closed management. Furthermore, the academy's teachers concealed Su Mo's assassination because of the entrustment of the steward.

Therefore, at this time, Gu Jinnian did not know that Su Mo was assassinated. As usual, after packing his things, he waited for Chen Qingzhou in the verandah.

The two of them were not in the same lecture hall, and the lecture hall where Gu Jinnian was located was closer to the gate of the academy.

There was a master standing on the verandah. When he saw Gu Jinnian coming, he greeted him and slowly said what he had carefully considered.

"...This is what happened. It was a near miss. You don't have to worry too much..."

Although the Master repeatedly and tactfully indicated to Gu Jinnian that his mother was fine, Gu Jinnian lost his sense of control for a moment and left in a hurry without even waiting for Chen Qingzhou. He said "Farewell, student".

The Master understood Gu Jinnian's mood at the moment and didn't mind. He just looked at Gu Jinnian's panicked back and shook his head, sighing slightly.

The Master did not leave, but continued to wait.

Almost everyone in the academy knows that Gu Jinnian and Chen Qingzhou are always together.

He had to wait here for Chen Qingzhou to come over, lest Chen Qingzhou mistakenly think that Gu Jinnian was still in the academy and wait here.

In an instant, Chen Qingzhou came from another part of the verandah. He didn't see Gu Jinnian's figure at a familiar location. There was some confusion in his eyes and his pace quickened.

"The student has seen the master."

Chen Qingzhou politely greeted his master, and then planned to look for Gu Jinnian, but unexpectedly, his master nodded and called him.

"Qing Zhou, I have something important to tell you."

Chen Qingzhou looked at the master. Although his heart was not here, he still had patience. The handsome young man was as gentle as jade.

"Master, please tell me."

The master repeated what he had said to Gu Jinnian, and then said: "Jinnian already knew about this and left in a hurry. You don't have to wait for him anymore..."

Chen Qingzhou frowned after listening to the master's words. He immediately raised his hands and bowed. Although he was anxious, he still did not lose any courtesy.

"Thank you, Master, for informing the student of this matter. The student will leave the academy to see if he can catch up with Jinnian and take his leave."

The master nodded and looked at Chen Qingzhou's leaving figure, a bit of anxiety could be seen vaguely.

Chen Qingzhou walked quickly. When he left the academy, Gu Jinnian had just learned more detailed information from Gu Guanshi.

Most of the panic in his heart dissipated, leaving only a little worry.

Of course, not to Su Mo, but to Gu Xingnian.Gu Jinnian asked himself, he didn't dare to say how well he knew Su Mo, but he was sure that this matter would not frighten Su Mo.

Gu Xingnian, on the other hand, was small, clumsy and timid. When he took her with her in the past, she would be frightened by the slightest disturbance at night, and she would have to be coaxed for a long time before she could be coaxed.

Now that I have experienced this, I am afraid I will be frightened.

Gu Jinnian thought and got on the carriage.

Gu Guanshi didn't see Chen Qingzhou, so he looked at the gate of the academy and was a little confused: "Second Young Master, where is Young Master Qingzhou?"

Only then did Gu Jinnian realize that in his impatience, he had forgotten about Chen Qingzhou.

He was about to put down the curtain and looked at Gu Guanshi, about to ask him to send him back home first. As for Chen Qingzhou, two people were left. One went into the academy to look for Chen Qingzhou, and the other waited at the entrance of the academy. That’s it.

The words came to his lips, but he swallowed them back.

Forget it, that stupid girl Xingnian would be even happier to see Chen Qingzhou.

"I was in a hurry and hurried out of the academy. I also bothered Grandpa Gu to send someone in to look for Qingzhou."

Gu Guanshi understood immediately.

"Then the second young master wants to go back home first?"

Gu Jinnian shook his head, "No need, my mother is fine, I feel at ease, and I will definitely ask others before Qing Zhou sees him. Perhaps at this time, he knows that I have left the academy ahead of time and am heading here, so I will be waiting here." On."

Just after he finished speaking, he caught a glimpse of Chen Qingzhou's hurried figure from the corner of his eye. Gu Jinnian raised his chin slightly and said, "No, here we come."

Gu Guanshi followed his gaze and looked over.

Chen Qingzhou walked in a hurry. Although he was anxious, he still waited until he arrived at the carriage. After nodding hello with Steward Gu, he looked worried and whispered:
"I heard from Master that my aunt was assassinated. Is there any serious problem with her? And Xingnian..."

Manager Gu responded with a comforting smile and said patiently: "Don't worry, Mr. Qingzhou, the madam is fine, and the young lady is fine too. At this time, she is waiting for the two young masters to go back for dinner. Please get in the carriage!"

"That's fine, that's fine!"

Chen Qingzhou breathed a sigh of relief and then looked at Gu Jinnian.

Gu Jinnian's face was expressionless, showing no emotion. Chen Qingzhou got on the carriage, pursed her lips and nodded to him with a slight smile.

Gu Jinnian, however, looked away and looked at Gu Guanshi, "Let's go."

Gu Guanshi saw all Gu Jinnian's actions, and the smile flashed in his eyes.

The curtains were lowered and the carriage drove slowly. The two people in the carriage sat facing each other, silent all the way.

Chen Qingzhou wanted to say something, but seeing Gu Jinnian's stern face and refusal to communicate, he swallowed the words that had come to his lips many times.

In his mind, he was thinking, when did he make Jinnian unhappy again?
After thinking about it all the way, Chen Qingzhou didn't understand it until the carriage stopped and Gu Gu's voice came. Chen Qingzhou immediately stopped guessing, opened the curtain and got out of the carriage.

Although they knew that both Su Mo and Gu Xingnian were fine, they were still a little worried. They got off the carriage and hurried to the front yard.

Chen Qingzhou is older and taller than Gu Jinnian, and he can walk faster than Gu Jinnian.

After a while, there was a small distance between the two.

Gu Jinnian's face darkened again.

Chen Qingzhou quickly arrived at the front yard.

Gu Xingnian saw him first, tilted his head, and ran over holding up his skirt, "Brother Qingzhou, you are back~"

Chen Qingzhou's earlobes turned red immediately. He smiled shyly, nodded in response, and then bowed to Su Mo.

Then Gu Jinnian, who came in one step later, looked at Chen Qingzhou, who was more like a member of the family than he was, and the aura around him became lower and lower.

Chen Qingzhou felt a little cold on his back and shivered inexplicably.
