Every word in these two sentences is normal, but Mo Siyan said it in an ambiguous and affectionate tone. It's really hard for people not to think wrong.

Gu Tang felt that he could not continue this topic, so he simply pulled him and walked outside, "I heard from Doctor Bai that he has several cats in the back yard. Let's go there and have a look."

The girl's cheeks were blushing, and her head was almost buried in the cloak. The man she was holding had a smile on her face, staring deeply at her side face, with a pair of peach blossom eyes filled with affection.

Gu Tang thought that the situation would be better when she got outside, but as she was stroking the cat, someone lifted her chin and kissed her for a long time.

When she returned, her lips were extremely red.

Fortunately, Bai Heng was an idiot and thought she had applied lip balm. He shook his head and commented that the color of the lip balm was not good, saying that it looked like he had just sucked blood.

Gu Tang wanted to rush back to Kyoto before dark. After getting the Zijin flower, she was ready to go down the mountain.

In front of the wooden house.

Mu Chengyan looked at the girl's back walking towards the carriage and called out to her: "Gu Tang, wait a moment."

"What's wrong?"

"It's cold on the road, so take this with you."

The young man's hands were slender and clean, with fingertips covered with a thin layer of calluses. He held two black leather gloves. They were not new, but at a glance they were clearly used for personal use.

Gu Tang exposed the hands huddled behind his cloak and politely declined: "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness, but I already have a pair."

For some reason, Mu Chengyan felt that the pair of white fluffy fur gloves looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen them before.

But what he is more concerned about now is the girl's attitude, "Gu Tang, why are you so angry with me all of a sudden?"

In the past, she always called him Chengyan brother.

Moreover, she clearly came to Zhaoge yesterday, but she asked someone else to deliver food to him. Before, she would accompany him to finish the meal, talk for a while, and then leave.

I heard the confusion in his words.

Gu Tang was silent for a while and then said: "Your Highness, I have planned to discuss the dissolution of the engagement with the Princess in a few days."

The girl's words were like a stone thrown heavily into the lake, causing ripples in the water, breaking the original calmness of the lake.

"Why?" Mu Chengyan frowned.

He didn't understand, didn't Gu Tang like him?

On weekdays, she often gives him handmade pastries, reminds him to put on more clothes when the weather is cold, takes care of him when he is sick, and even goes to the secluded people to pick up the books he wants.

From all aspects, the girl treated him more appropriately than her own mother and concubine.

Gu Tang didn't know what he was thinking, so he replied half-truthfully: "There is no love between men and women between us, and I don't like the life of treating each other as guests."

The more reason is that she cannot continue to keep this engagement with the memory of her previous life.

Moreover, she met Mo Siyan early in this life. Seeing how he was obsessed with her, she might not be able to get rid of him, so she decided to break off the engagement.

"Since you don't like me, why are you so nice to me?" Mu Chengyan clenched his fingers.

Those eyes that were always cold and indifferent were filled with many emotions that Gu Tang couldn't understand at this moment, but she didn't need to understand either.

She said truthfully: "Because His Royal Highness is the son of the princess, I respect her and am grateful to her."

Just two words, but Mu Chengyan felt like he was struck by lightning. He felt that the blood in his body was rushing to his head like crazy, and the blood was about to burst.

Is she being nice to him just because of her mother-in-law?

He tried to find any flaw in Gu Tang's face, but unfortunately there was no one. There was no emotion on that face that was stunning no matter how many times he looked at it.

Passed calmly.

Mu Chengyan wanted to say that feelings can be cultivated, but as proud as he was, he would never allow himself to say such humble words.

Suppressing the gaffe on his expression, he returned to his usual cold demeanor, "I know, be careful on the road."

"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. I will take my leave."

Seeing the girl's leaving figure, Mu Chengyan's heart felt empty, as if something important had disappeared.

A few days before the Zhaoge selection examination, compared to Gu Tang, who was living comfortably, the Shen family was very irritable, not because they did not get the real prescription.

But they found that after Gu Tang's temperament changed drastically, their life was not as good as before.

At Yinshi, Shen Changshan picked up the hot tea he wanted to drink before going to court as usual, but after only one sip, his expression changed. It was not the tea brewed by Gu Tang.

He threw the tea cup and said to the steward next to him: "I just said a few words to her, and then I lost my temper and refused to make tea. How can any child be like her? It's really unfilial."

Shen Changshan, who was so angry that he puffed his beard and glared, never considered that if he went to court at Yin hour, Gu Tang would have to get up before Yin hour every day.

Moreover, he sometimes has to deal with official duties at night, and hot tea will be served continuously at that time, but tea cannot be conjured out of thin air.

Compared to Shen Changshan, his sons were also very unhappy.

Shen Chi put down his chopsticks and knocked on the food box unhappily, "Lao Wu, don't you have a good relationship with Gu Tang? Hurry and coax her back to cook. Look at these dishes. Are they for human consumption?"

It is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality.

He was used to Gu Tang's cooking, and now the food sent to the school by the government was simply tasteless to him.

"Because of you, she even has a grudge against me now, and now her hand is injured and she can't do anything she wants to do." Shen Yufei looked depressed.

Shen Chi snorted coldly: "She is just hypocritical. It's not like both arms are broken. The servants have cut the vegetables and she can just stir-fry them."

But the one who suffered the most was Lin Lanshu.

In the middle of the night, Lin Lanshu suffered from a migraine attack. Taking medicine did not help, so she couldn't control the conflict with Gu Tang and quickly asked her servants to invite her to give him a massage.

Every time the girl presses it on her for a short while, the pain disappears immediately, which is more effective than any other medicine.

However, Lin Lanshu, who was looking forward to the stars and the moon, finally only looked forward to the news that Gu Tang was staying overnight with Princess Nanyang tonight.

Lin Lanshu was so angry that she yelled: "Knowing that I often have migraines at night, you still stay outside on purpose. You are really a white-eyed wolf who repays kindness with revenge!"

However, no matter how unhappy the Shen family was, they did not dare to vent their dissatisfaction directly to Gu Tang because they had not yet obtained the real prescription.

But everyone had the same idea in their hearts. When they got the prescription, they would definitely teach Gu Tang a lesson, otherwise they would all be sorry for the suffering they have suffered these days.

In temporary calm.

Soon the day came for the Zhaoge selection examination.

There are many students applying for the exam. In order to maintain order and improve efficiency, the exams will be conducted in batches and sessions according to the order of registration.

Gu Tang is the last scene on the last day.

The content of the exam was not difficult for her. She finished it in less than half of the two-hour allotted time and handed in the paper in advance.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she walked out of the examination room, she ran into a group of ladies in gorgeous clothes, including many familiar faces.
