After my luck was stolen, I led my whole family to defy fate and change our destiny.

When Su Zihao returned to the Duke's mansion, he ran into Gu Yu'an, who was out looking for him.

Gu Yu'an saw that he visibly breathed a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that Su Zihao might do something rash and kill Lin Xiaoxiao, which would be too easy for Lin Xiaoxiao.

"Are you OK?"

Su Zihao shook his head: "Don't worry, it's fine."

Gu Yu'an patted him on the shoulder and said honestly, "I thought you were going to confront Lin Xiaoxiao and get revenge."

Su Zihao said viciously, "Lin Xiaoxiao tricked me, I'm definitely going to get revenge."

Gu Linglong clicked her tongue twice upon hearing this.

If Lin Xiaoxiao wants to win you over, she'll definitely detect your feelings for her. She's already on guard against you, so how can you get revenge? Going to your death in front of her is practically the only option.

[You might have been exposed this time, and Lin Xiaoxiao wasn't prepared. Next time, your cousin might not be able to come back.]

Su Zihao's heart skipped a beat. Did he not even have a chance to atone for his sins?

Gu Yu'an comforted him, "Lin Xiaoxiao is very ambitious and ruthless. It's better to do it from the shadows."

"it is good"

That's the only way.

"Go inside, your aunt and uncle are very worried about you."

"Um"

At the dinner table, Duke Su was holding Gu Linglong, while Old Madam Su was playing hide-and-seek with Gu Linglong.

The old lady would sometimes cover her face with a handkerchief, and sometimes remove it.

Gu Linglong giggled as she removed the handkerchief, which made the two elders laugh along with her.

Everyone, young and old, had a great time.

Gu Linglong's mouth hurt from laughing so much.

Ugh...it's so tiring to appease you adults.

Su Xiuran covered her mouth and chuckled to herself; her daughter really doted on the old lady.

My mother hasn't laughed so heartily in a long time since her eyesight deteriorated.

Is your little sister tired of laughing?

Su Zihao, who had been silent until now, pursed his lips and said, "Let me hug my little sister. Grandpa and Grandma, you should go and rest."

Su Zihao carefully held Gu Linglong in his arms. She was soft and squishy, ​​and smelled of milk. In an instant, her heart melted.

This little guy came to save her, but she didn't even give him a smile.

Gu Linglong: It's already a miracle that they didn't dig out your love-struck brain to admire it, and you're still smiling? You've got a fart to hide.

As she spoke, Gu Linglong felt a swelling below her body. "No way, it's coming so suddenly?"

It's hot now, and Gu Linglong is still young, so Su Xiuran doesn't dare to dress her in thick clothes for fear of causing heat rash.

Su Zihao felt his palms were warm. Then they felt wet, and he realized what they were.

His previously relaxed brows tightened again.

My little sister...peed?

Did they even pee on him?

He was shocked and stared at Gu Linglong in disbelief. "Why didn't you pee just now?"

Gu Linglong blushed slightly, but her inner thoughts were fierce: [What are you looking at? Isn't it normal for a child to pee? Wake up, you love-struck fool!]

After a pause, Gu Linglong added: "Your saliva isn't as good as mine, so there's no need to feel inferior."

Su Zihao: "..."

Upon discovering this, Chunhe immediately carried Gu Linglong away, while Su Zihao, his face flushed, got up to change his clothes.

During the meal, Gu Linglong looked at the table full of delicious food, her mouth watering. [Ahhh... I really want to eat! The honey-glazed chicken legs are so good, and the roast duck looks good too...]

Su Zihao looked at his younger sister with affection: "Auntie, can my little sister eat these?"

Su Xiuran was somewhat surprised that he cared about Gu Linglong. She shook her head: "No, Linglong is still a bit young, she hasn't had her first taste of meat yet."

"it is good"

See? Your brother has worked hard for you, but you can't eat it.

Gu Linglong looked at Su Zihao in the direction of the voice. "Huh? My cousin looks much healthier after changing his clothes. The dark circles under his eyes have also lessened."

Gu Linglong pondered, and she suddenly remembered that when she was still a tiger, the flowers, plants and trees grew particularly lush where she urinated.

It must be because she is a spirit tiger, and even urine coming out of her body has spiritual energy and carries a trace of life force.

Is she already this amazing even though she's only just started cultivating?

[So my urine has magical powers! Maybe I should try it on the fourth brother next time?]

Su Zihao didn't know who the fourth brother Gu Linglong was talking about was, so he lowered his head and continued eating, only glancing at Gu Linglong from time to time.

It's so good to have a younger sister. If it weren't for Linglong, this family would have really fallen apart because of me.

I wonder if his mother is still able to have children at her age?

Gu Yu'an and Gu Liyao were shocked when they heard their younger sister's words. Did their younger sister's urine have spiritual power?

They could roughly imagine what Gu Linglong was going to do!

The two silently prayed for the fourth prince, eating their rice while mourning.

After finishing their meal, Gu Yu'an and the others took their leave.

As soon as everyone left, Su Zihao knocked on the old Duke's door.

"Come in"

Su Zihao bowed respectfully and said, "Grandfather."

Duke Su glanced at him, then continued reading: "What is it? I have no money or jewelry to lend you."

Su Zihao was taken aback, and his ears turned red with embarrassment.

"No, Grandfather, I want you to find me a tutor to help me with my studies. I want to study."

"If I went to the academy with my current level, I... I wouldn't understand it, and I definitely wouldn't be able to keep up with my classmates."

Duke Su put down his book. "Hey, this is really strange. How many tutors has he found for this grandson?"

There must be at least twenty-five, if not thirty? But he's the opposite; he drives them away as soon as they arrive.

They were either sleeping or dozing off, or daydreaming in class, or throwing stones into the teacher's bowl, or burning the teacher's beard.

The word spread like wildfire, and soon all the teachers in the capital were unwilling to teach him, and the academies kept their distance from him.

"Then read it yourself. You've driven all the scholars in the capital away. Where am I supposed to find one for you?"

Su Zihao touched his nose somewhat awkwardly: "Grandfather, that was all when I was a child. I don't do that anymore."

"So, what made you decide to go back to school?"

Su Zihao took a deep breath: "I want to study, I want to take the imperial examination, I want to become an official, only then can I protect the Duke's Mansion."

Duke Su was slightly taken aback, put down his book, and re-examined his grandson.

In just a few hours, his grandson was like a completely different person.

His gaze hardened, and he instantly transformed from a carefree and irresponsible person into a more mature one. He noticed this during meals; the person was always chattering away.

He thought the kid was faking it.

Su Zihao paused for a moment, then said, "My father likes doing business, so let him do it. It's probably not appropriate for him to go back to government service now. Someone in this family has to step up."

Seeing that his grandfather remained silent, he suddenly remembered something and hurriedly said, "Grandfather, I... I just wanted to protect the Duke's mansion and our family. I didn't intend to compete with my uncle for the title."

Duke Su gradually broke into a smile, his eyes brimming with tears. He had waited far too long for this day.

"Good, good, Hao'er, you've grown up."

"You are the eldest grandson, so this title will naturally be left to you. Your uncle has his own arrangements. Once you pass the imperial examination and become an official, I will ask the Emperor to issue an edict to allow you to inherit the title."

Seeing his grandfather's reddened eyes, Su Zihao's nose also felt a little sore: "It's all up to Grandfather's arrangements. Grandfather, get some rest. I'm going to read."

Duke Su waved his hand: "Go."

Su Zihao quickly left his grandfather's room, afraid that he wouldn't be able to control himself.

He has already lost face once today; if he bursts into tears again, it will be even more embarrassing.
