Female Master: Why doesn’t my wife love me yet?

Seeing Gu Qingyuan's orderly appearance, the originally panicked people gradually calmed down and accompanied her to check.

Gu Qingyuan waved his hand and said, "I am responsible for recording these books. I know better than you. What you need now is to prepare paper and pen, and send two people to clean the room and remove all the ashes."

After receiving Gu Qingyuan's instructions, Dingxiang took them to start working on their own matters.

While Gu Qingyuan was checking and writing down which books were burned on another piece of paper, Dingxiang suddenly ran over in a hurry with a jade pendant in her hand.

"Why are you back again?" Gu Qingyuan looked up at her, then quickly lowered his head to busy himself with his own things.

Ding Xiang walked in front of Gu Qingyuan, holding the jade pendant in both hands and said, "I just found this in the corner outside, so I thought I'd come over and give it to Master Gu."

Gu Qingyuan looked at the jade pendant of good quality in her hand, frowned and started to pinch it.

The jade pendant itself is lustrous and smooth, and it doesn't seem like something that ordinary people can afford to wear.

Suddenly, she found a clue. There was a pearl carved on the back of the jade pendant. After a little thought, Gu Qingyuan had a guess in her mind.

Dingxiang asked, "Could it be someone left it here? But no one else has come to the Classics Academy these past two days!"

Gu Qingyuan held it tightly and put it away, then said to Ding Xiang, "You go and do your work first. We'll talk about the jade pendant later."

Dingxiang quickly responded, "Okay," and walked out in a hurry.

After Gu Qingyuan sorted out the books that were burned, she stood up with the piece of paper.

The others had also finished their parts and were standing beside Gu Qingyuan, waiting for her next instructions.

Gu Qingyuan was quite tall, and even without saying anything, she made these people feel oppressed. She was nothing like the rumors said. They had thought that when Gu Qingyuan came over today and saw this scene, she would scold them and accuse them of incompetence.

But when she came here today, she was concerned about whether the person who was in charge of guarding last night was injured, and she quickly came up with a solution.

Now they have already developed admiration for Gu Qingyuan.

Gu Qingyuan looked at the people standing in an orderly manner and found it a little funny. He asked seriously, "Have you finished what I asked you to do?"

Several people nodded in unison.

She said, "I discovered that among these books, in addition to some scriptures, there are also some books recording the history of Daning State and some accounts."

Several people's hearts were in their throats again, waiting for Gu Qingyuan's next words.

She continued with a smile, "Regarding the accounts, luckily I made a backup. I thought I'd copy them down and check if there were any errors later. As for the history books, I can ask the historian later. Maybe she still has them."

Their hearts were put back into their stomachs.

"but……"

Gu Qingyuan dragged out his voice, as if to scare them, and the word "but" successfully made them put their minds at ease again.

"There are some books that are out of print on the market. I need everyone to compare them with existing transcriptions. Are you willing?"

"Yes, yes, of course."

The two women who were in charge of guarding last night spoke first. Since the incident was caused by them, they must make amends if they can.

"I have to go out for something. You will be responsible for drying these books today. Remember to turn them over after a while to ensure they are evenly dried, okay?"

After giving the instructions, Gu Qingyuan walked out.

This time she went there to seek help from Master Shen.

She planned to see if Master Shen still had some out-of-print books that had been burned, and then copy them down.

After Gu Qingyuan stepped into the academy, he saw Zao Zao and Wan Wan holding Crow and basking in the sun.

Seeing Gu Qingyuan, Zao Zao and Wan Wan immediately stood up and came over, "Why are you back?"

"Yes, we heard from my mother that you were in the Academy of Classics, weren't you?"

Gu Qingyuan didn't plan to tell them about the fire in the Academy of Classics. Although she had a way to solve it, she didn't want to make too much of a fuss before it was completely resolved.

"Of course I came back to take a look."

Zao Zao nodded and showed the crow to Gu Qingyuan. Gu Qingyuan squatted down and looked at the crow with shiny black feathers locked in the cage, then looked up at them.

"You guys are raising a good one."

Wanwan was very proud and said to Gu Qingyuan, "Of course, my sister and I bathed it and fed it."

Gu Qingyuan stood up again and said goodbye to them, "I'm going to go look for Master Shen. Is she in the academy today?"

"Yes, we saw her just now."

Gu Qingyuan said "thank you" and walked towards where Master Shen lived.

Teacher Shen had a class, so Gu Qingyuan stood outside waiting for her to come back. The waiting process was a bit long. Gu Qingyuan leaned against the wall, counting in his heart how long it would take for him to see her again.

Master Shen came back at noon and was filled with surprise when he saw Gu Qingyuan.

"Have you finished your work at the Academy of Classics?"

"It's not too busy these past two days. Once this period is over, I can go back to the academy."

Master Shen invited her in to sit down, "Why didn't you come to my upper room when you came? You have been standing here for such a long time."

Gu Qingyuan followed behind her. Master Shen poured her a cup of tea. Gu Qingyuan took a sip and replied, "I'm afraid of wasting Master Shen's time, so I'm waiting here."

Master Shen looked at Gu Qingyuan. She looked extremely calm, completely different from the arrogant and domineering person before.

I feel emotional, it seems that she has really grown up.

"Tell me, what brought you back to see me? It shouldn't just be a visit, right?"

"Master Shen is truly a master of predictions."

She smiled and looked at Gu Qingyuan with admiration.

"Is there something wrong at the Academy of Classics?"

Gu Qingyuan's heart skipped a beat and she asked her, "Master Shen, how did you figure that out?"

"You just went there, and those people are so lazy. Did they cause you any trouble?"

Gu Qingyuan had no choice but to confess honestly, "There was a fire last night, and some of the books were burned. I'm trying to repair it. I came here today to ask Master Shen if he has the book I'm looking for. I planned to copy it and return it."

"What book? You tell me."

When Gu Qingyuan said the name, Master Shen stood up and went to look for it in his room.

When she came back, she was holding the books in her hands and handed them to Gu Qingyuan.

"Take it."

Gu Qingyuan smiled gratefully and promised, "I will definitely protect these books well. I'll send them over once I have them copied."

"I'm not in a hurry. If you need any help from me, just let me know."

Gu Qingyuan smiled sheepishly and said, "Indeed, there is one. But does Master Shen know where the historian lives?"
