Lin Yao's wife's family was indeed quite unremarkable. It was all thanks to He Ping'an that he could form a marriage alliance with them. The old tutor praised her for her good fortune. Gu Lanyin remained silent, simply pouring more wine. After the old tutor got drunk, he had someone carry him back. Thinking about what he had said, Gu Lanyin understood everything.
He laughed softly. The wind was bitingly cold. He drew his sleeves together, his knees aching slightly. All of this was thanks to her. She had provoked such a man in this life and made him suffer such hardship. As the saying goes, 'One must return a favor.' Gu Lanyin intended to give him a great gift.
Three days later, Lin Yao returned from outside the city. His first act upon returning was to summon Gu Lanyin. The young servant in the prince's mansion glanced inside the office and cautiously reported, 'Professor Gu has been waiting for a long time. He is inside the room.' Lin Yao dropped his horsewhip, raised an eyebrow, and ordered him to serve tea.
