The Grand Secretary’s Pampered Wife

Chapter 622 Midnight Beauty (Part 2)

After tossing around for half a day, it was already dark when Gu Jiao came out of the mansion.

It stands to reason that it would be fine even if it was dark, Shengdu is so prosperous, and there are businesses going on in the middle of the night, but it is really a coincidence that she encountered a curfew.

Pedestrians on the street began to decrease sharply, and shops on both sides were closed one after another.

Gu Jiao was lost.

What is the situation?

Did she forget to look up the almanac when she went out?

She had inquired about it, and the inner city gates of Shengdu were only closed at 2:00 pm. At this time, xu shi had just passed, and she still had half an hour.

It seems that today is too late to inquire about the news of the hospital.

You have to get out of town as soon as possible, and you can't walk, otherwise you won't be able to make it in time.

Gu Jiao quickly locked a carriage parked in the alley.

It's been a long time since I've done this kind of house robbery, and I finished it all day today.

The coachman is not there.

I don't know if he was doing something else, but there were people in the carriage, and a figure of a man was reflected in the candlelight.

Gu Jiao was going to take out the mask and put it on, but when she touched it, she found that the mask was gone.

It looks like it fell somewhere.

Forget it, if you don't have a mask, you don't have a mask. Gu Jiao scooped up a handful of wall plaster on the wall and smeared it on her face. Then she clenched the dagger in her hand, walked over to the carriage, and put the dagger on the opponent's neck.

"do not move."

She threatened with a low and youthful voice.

This is a young man, wearing a plain white gown, covered with a dark blue gauze, with a jade belt around his waist, with an elegant and delicate side face, and slender eyelashes.

Rao has seen such a beauty as Xiao Heng, but he still has to admit that he is a handsome man.

He looked about the same age as Xiao Heng, with a dignified temperament and a calm demeanor, and he didn't seem to panic at all when the knife rested on his neck.

Gu Jiao said: "You send me out of the inner city, I won't hurt you, south gate."

The young man didn't say yes or no.

At this moment, the coachman came back: "My lord, I asked, but the boss said it wasn't done yet, so let's come back in two days. Are we going back now?"

Gu Jiao sat beside the man, and stuck the dagger to the man's neck, the threat was obvious.

The young man said: "I want to go out of the south inner city gate."

Through a curtain,

Gu Jiao could also feel that the driver was stunned: "Didn't you just come back? Why are you going out again? There is a sudden curfew in the city tonight, we won't be able to come in after we go out."

The young man said nothing more.

The coachman was probably used to taking the man's acquiescence as a deterrent, so he murmured a few words and said, "Okay, okay, I can't beat you."

The coachman sat on the outer seat and drove the carriage to the inner city gate in the south.

But as the saying goes, when people are unlucky, they get stuffed between their teeth when they drink water.

Obviously before the second quarter of Xu hour, the gate of the city was closed ahead of time due to the curfew.

"I can't get out, my lord," said the coachman.

The young man still didn't speak, Gu Jiao understood that he was waiting for her answer.

Gu Jiao held the dagger against him with one hand, and opened a gap in the curtain with the other hand to see if there was an inn along the way where he could stay.

The young man suddenly said: "I advise you not to stay in the hotel easily, you will be arrested if you don't have a talisman."

"What is a talisman?" Gu Jiao asked.

The young man said unhurriedly: "The certificate for people from the outer city to enter the inner city."

Gu Jiao was just about to ask you how you know I'm from the outer city, but she felt that the words were redundant when the words came to her lips. If she was from the inner city, she should go back after the curfew, instead of hijacking the carriage and leaving the city quickly.

Gu Jiao glanced at him and asked, "Then do you have a talisman?"

The young man said: "People in the inner city have fish talismans, they don't need talisman festivals."

Gu Jiao knew Yan Guo's fish talisman, a thing to prove her identity.

Gu Jiao looked at him: "Where's your fish charm?"

The man didn't move.

Gu Jiao glanced at his waist, removed his money bag with one hand, and took out a bronze fish charm from inside.

"My lord?" the coachman asked outside, "Who are you talking to? Is there anyone in the carriage?"

Gu Jiao moved her dagger and signaled him with her eyes.

The young man said lightly: "Is there an inn nearby? It's not closed."

The coachman thought he heard the sound, but his young master refused to tell him and he couldn't catch him and asked, he said: "Walk two miles back, there seems to be an inn."

"Go there," said the young man.

"Yes." The driver drove the carriage to the inn.

The young man said again: "The carriage is parked here, you can look around to see if there are any other inns."

"Yes."

The coachman went as he said.

He also knew how to use this method to drive the driver away, of course Gu Jiao would not think that he was thinking of her, most likely because he was worried that she would knock the driver unconscious.

It's a brain.

Thinking of something, Gu Jiao asked again: "Will you report to the police?"

The young man said calmly, "Do you think the government can search all the inns in the inner city overnight?"

"Yes." Gu Jiao nodded.

It seemed that he guessed that she would not be staying in the inn he had found for her.

What a smart guy.

She looks beautiful.

Gu Jiao couldn't hold back, and looked him up and down again, and inadvertently saw a little bit of beautiful jade fingertips protruding from the wide sleeves.

Gu Jiao doesn't count as hand control in the strict sense, but her hand is so long that she wants someone to grab it——

Gu Jiao couldn't help thinking of the hand she saw at the station.

It can't be the same person, can it?

No, the surname written on the fish charm is Mu, and the person at the inn is the son of the Su family.

Gu Jiao got off the carriage.

She wasn't sure if the man would report to the police, but she still didn't go to the inn.

She went to the brothel.

The other party shouldn't have guessed that she would spend the night in the brothel, right?

...

Gu Jiao stayed in the inner city overnight, and when the city gate opened at dawn, she used the same method to hide a carriage and get out of the inner city.

Nan Seniang stayed up all night and waited in the yard all night. Finally, when she saw Gu Jiao come back, she relaxed and held Gu Jiao's arm: "I was scared to death, I thought something happened to you...you didn't know what happened to you yesterday... Where did you go late?"

Gu Jiao didn't want Mrs. Nan to worry, so she just said lightly: "I was stranded in the inner city because of the curfew last night, and I stole someone's fish talisman and lived in the inner city overnight."

"Is there a curfew in the inner city?" Mrs. Nan was very surprised, "There is very little curfew in Shengdu, so something serious must have happened in the inner city."

Gu Jiao wondered, could it be that the whole inner city was alarmed because I sneaked into that man's mansion and was discovered?

What kind of big shot must that be? Made the whole inner city curfew?

Forget it, no one knew it was her anyway.

Nan Shiniang said: "I didn't tell Xiao Shun, I let Xiao Shun go to bed first, he just got up and asked me where you were, I said you went shopping. But Yan'er knows."

Gu Yan is the most difficult child in the family to fool. Apart from his poor health, he has a smarter mind than anyone else.

He couldn't hide the fact that Gu Jiao didn't return overnight.

Gu Jiao went to Gu Yan's room, sat down by the bed, looked at Gu Yan's wet and red eyes, bent the corners of her lips, and said, "I'm fine."

Gu Yan slowly rested her head on Gu Jiao's lap.

...

Gu Jiao accompanied Gu Yan for a while, went to the main room to have breakfast, and then went to Tianqiong Academy with Gu Xiaoshun.

There are twelve halls in Tianqiong Academy, Gu Jiao is assigned to Mingxin Hall, and Gu Xiaoshun is assigned to Mingyue Hall.

They first went to the small duty room designated by the academy to pick up the books together, and then went to their respective classrooms.

The hospital uniforms are custom-made according to the size of the two, and they will be available in a few days.

Gu Jiao entered the classroom.

Yan Guo's classrooms are different from Zhao Guo's. They use low desks, sit on small stools, and have two students at a table.

There are four tables in each row, and there are eight rows in total.

Most tables were occupied.

Everyone was reading with their heads down, or chatting in groups of three or four. For a while, no one noticed that a new student had arrived in the classroom.

Zhong Ding is also in Mingxintang

He was sitting in the third row near the inner wall, and there was no one around him, so he waved to Gu Jiao excitedly.

Gu Jiao was really afraid of his noise, so she pretended not to see her, and silently went to the empty table next to the back door in the penultimate row with her books in her arms.

Zhong Ding was quite disappointed: "Did you not see me? Brother Xiao!"

He stood up and howled violently at Gu Jiao!

Now that it's all over, everyone in Quan Ming Xin Tang looked in Gu Jiao's direction.

Gu Jiao wore Tsing Yi, and tied a simple teenager's bun with a blue hairband. She had a clean demeanor, her eyes were cold, and there was an eye-catching birthmark on her young face.

Ming Xintang was silent for a while.

Zhong Ding blinked at a loss, covered his mouth with his hand, and continued to talk to Gu Jiao through the air: "Brother Xiao...is my voice a little loud?"

Gu Jiao really wanted to stun him with a stick.

What do you say!

However, this collective gaze didn't last long, a young scholar suddenly rushed in from outside the Mingxin Hall, and shouted loudly: "Young Master Qingchen is here for class!"

The silent Ming Xintang exploded in an instant.

"What? Mr. Qingchen?"

"Are you sure you read it right?"

"Why did Mr. Qingchen come to the academy suddenly?"

"Yeah, doesn't he never come to class?"

"Let's go! Go and see!"

But before everyone rushed out, the academy bell rang.

Everyone had no choice but to return to their seats unwillingly.

Gu Jiao is not interested in meeting that young gentleman, she just feels that this name is inexplicably familiar.

As she was thinking about it, she suddenly felt that everyone's eyes came back to her in unison.

No, you look at your Qingchen son, and come to see what I am doing again?

The next second, a young man in a sky-blue courtyard uniform walked towards the back row and sat beside Gu Jiao without saying a word.

Gu Jiao: "..." Why are you sitting next to me? Can't you see so many empty spaces in front?

Gu Jiao ignored him, didn't even look him in the eye, just took out a book indifferently, and pretended to flip through it.

Soon, the master who taught the class entered Mingxin Hall.

All the students got up and bowed their hands in salute: "Master Jiang!"

Under the cover of greetings, Gu Jiao heard the dusty young man beside her casually ask, "Is my fish talisman still working?"

"cough!"

Gu Jiao choked on it!
