"We are a school here, not a charity home. You want to study medicine and develop your skills. We are mutually beneficial, but there is no reason for you to use this place as a refuge."

Gu Luo's words were straightforward and unpleasant.

Wang Xiao's little secret was revealed, and he couldn't help it. His face turned red and he bit his lip.

Gu Luo was heartbroken, "You don't have to kneel down to me. I just founded this school. The one who really worked hard for this school is you, Mrs. Guo. She went to argue with your sister-in-law several times for you. She wrote and compiled practical applications for you all night long.

About your personal study materials, but you lied to her."

The last two words were like the last straw that broke Wang Xiao's mind. Her shoulders shook violently, she cried out, turned her head and kowtowed to Guo Muyan.

Guo Muyan was first shocked by Gu Luo's words.

She had been in contact with Wang Xiao for so many days, and she had also been in contact with Wang Xiao's sister-in-law several times. She had previously suspected whether the Wang Xiao family had ulterior motives, but the direction of suspicion was always whether they were targeting the Anbo Palace.

Gu Luo just met Wang Xiao for the first time today. His previous investigation of Wang Xiao also said that the Wang Xiao family was innocent.

How did she know that Wang Xiao was cheating?

After the shock, Guo Muyan's eyes were a little red, and she looked at Wang Xiao, "Did you really lie to me?"

Wang Xiao sobbed and cried, "Master Guo, I was wrong, I know I was wrong."

Gu Luo hadn't slept well for several days and had a severe headache. "If you know you're wrong, tell the truth. How to deal with it when the time comes? You have extenuating circumstances. I still keep you in this academy, so you continue to deceive."

.....You also know the way our Anbo Palace behaves. If you are unhappy, it might set your family on fire."

Others say that setting fire to a fire may be a bluff, but in Anbo Prince's Mansion, it is well known in Kyoto that the young prince would set fire to it if he disagreed.

Wang Xiao didn't dare to offend Gu Luo. After a moment of silence, he took out something from his body.

"My sister-in-law doesn't really want to buy me into the troupe, she just wants me to go out. She wants this."

Gu Luo rubbed his temples, raised his eyes and glanced towards Wang Xiao. His eyes fell on the thing in Wang Xiao's palm, and he was suddenly shocked.

That's a bead.

If there was no mistake, it was a colorful night pearl, exactly the same as the one she and Yu Yan picked up in the courtyard of the palace.

Gu Luo's heartbeat quickened instantly, but his face remained calm, "What is this?"

Wang Xiao lowered his eyes, "I don't know what it is, but my sister said that this bead is very important. She gave it to me before she died and asked me to take it. I have been hiding it carefully so that no one can find it.

Last year, my eldest nephew went to my house to look for money and dug this out of the floor tiles.

My sister-in-law said, this is a night pearl, and you can get a lot of money if you sell it, and she wants this."

Gu Luo checked Wang Xiao's family, up to and down the three generations, and found that they were all ordinary people, but he never found that she had a sister.

"Is your sister your biological sister?"

"She's not my biological sister, but my neighbor's eldest sister. She's many years older than me. She moved here from another place. She has scars on her face. Her family said she had her face burned in a brazier when she was a child."

Face ruined...

Gu Luo's heart beat faster and faster.

She thought of her mother, Lu Qingshuang, whose face was also ruined.

Gu Luo clenched her hands tightly in her sleeves, "Why did she give it to you?"

Wang Xiao bit his lip, with nostalgia for the deceased in his eyes, "She had scars on her face and never went out. When I was young, I didn't have to do much work at home, so I would go to her house when I had nothing to do.

Drop by.

she......"

Wang Xiao glanced at Guo Muyan and said, "She knows medical skills. When I go there, she will teach me a little bit. My ability to feel the pulse and identify medicinal materials was all learned at that time. It is not a natural talent."

Guo Muyan's face wasn't very pretty.

It's not because I'm disappointed with Wang Xiao, it's mainly because I'm shocked.

She just felt...

Based on intuition alone, she couldn't hear these words at the moment.

How could a small family have a luminous pearl? Moreover, the pearl in Wang Xiao's hand was colorful and precious.

He knows medical skills, but he also ruined his face.

Whenever Guo Muyan uses her nerves that are good at house fighting, she knows there is something hidden here, let alone Gu Luo's attitude at this time.

Oh my gosh!

The first rule of health preservation: knowing too much will lead to death easily.

then......

Without stopping, Guo Muyan rolled his eyes and fainted.

Wang Xiao only thought that Guo Muyan was fainted by being stimulated by himself. He felt more and more guilty and stepped forward in panic, "Master Guo."

Gu Luo glanced at Guo Muyan's heaving chest and slightly trembling eyelashes. He pinched his eyebrows and asked someone to take Guo Muyan away.

"Where does your neighbor still live?" After Guo Muyan was taken away, Gu Luo asked Wang Xiao again.

Wang Xiao shook his head, "After the eldest sister died, her family was heartbroken. Maybe they moved away because they didn't want to be touched by the situation."

"Does she have a lot of family?"

"Not many, just her father and mother."

"How did she die?"

"She died of illness. She became seriously ill when she moved to my house next door. She couldn't speak normally with her voice and couldn't move her legs. Anyway, she was very ill and could only lie down on the kang.

That night, I went over to talk to her, and she gave me the bead and said that it belonged to a very good friend of hers. She was not in good health and was afraid that she wouldn't be able to hold on for a few more days. She asked me to keep it for her. She must not

lost.

Unexpectedly, she would be gone early the next morning."

Speaking of old friends, the sadness on Wang Xiao's face became more and more serious.

Gu Luo frowned, Lu Qingshuang's voice couldn't speak normally.

"Why do you let me keep it? She still has parents."

Wang Xiao shook his head, "I don't know either. I was only five years old at the time. Later, I understood a lot of things when I got older, but I didn't have the chance to ask. Anyway, I have been hiding this bead all these years, just in case her good friend comes looking for her."

Well, I can always pay it back for her, so I asked my eldest nephew to dig it out without even thinking.

My sister-in-law wanted this bead, but she didn't dare to go out for fear of losing money and getting killed. I always stayed at home, fearing that I wouldn't be able to keep the bead. You just happened to be enrolling students here, so I came here.

I originally thought that this is the school of Prince Anbo, and my sister-in-law would not dare to come and act wild, but..."

Wang Xiao smiled bitterly and did not continue.

Regarding the beads, she didn't think much about it. She only asked a few more questions because Gu Luo didn't believe the origin of the beads.

Gu Luo twirled his fingers, "Then you just pretended to leave. If no one from us stops you, are you really going to leave?"

Wang Xiao bit her lip, "My sister-in-law will definitely try her best to get this bead. If I don't go out this time, she will do something else.

Me, when I knelt down to Master Guo earlier, I really wanted her to pity me.

I have no other place to go but to hide here."
