"Don't laugh, I did not have many days where I seriously read books when I was a child," Gu Yun looked up slightly. "Books were all read in the palace with the Emperor and Wei Wang. The old Marquis' own education was very ordinary, he was only a bit more diligent with military books. He found an old horrifying Confucian teacher here to read for me, he would doze off after a moment, I could only find entertainment for myself - well, you could go do your things, I haven't been home for a long time, let me walk around for a bit.”

"No," Chang Geng said hurriedly, "I'd like to hear you tell the story, and afterwards?"

Gu Yun was a bit hesitant. It was not any grand achievement, but Chang Geng seldom enjoyed himself like this. Gu Yun paused for a moment, then finally decided to bring out this embarrassing deed to entertain him, "I was very troublesome at that time, even the teacher was afraid of me from all the tricks I pulled to torment him. He dared not scold me face to face but ran back to tell the old man about it. Besides beating people, the old marquis punished me to take a stance on the stool, falling off with only a slight tremble. He did not appear like a goddamn blood-connected father no matter how you look at it. Later, I thought that old man goatee who kept running to tell on me day after day was simply too annoying, I came up with a scheme with Shen Ji Ping, we stole some laxatives and poured it into the teacher’s tea.

"Laxatives aren't anything much, but we were both young, and didn't know our limits. The teacher was already old and frail, almost dying from it. Throughout two hundred years, the Gu family had never had a house wrecking and crazy child like this, the old marquis was enraged, wanting to beat me to death, fortunately, the princess stopped him.

“Well, my mother later admitted that she, too, wanted to hit me at that time, but it was difficult for her to give birth due to her cold body. She was afraid that after killing me, there would be no one left for the Gu family.”

Chang Geng imagined that if he had such a disobedient child, he would have to beat it to death. However, as he immediately remembered that the unfortunate child was Gu Yun, he thought that if he were to be the old marquis, even if Gu Yun’s trickery cost someone's life, he would have to go pay for their life in person himself and would never have the heart to touch even one of Gu Yun's hairs.

He could not help laughing for a long time. He then asked, "What happened next?"
