Gu Yiyi's hand was very strong, and Bai Yu'an was pulled up by Gu Yiyi's arm. She was pulled forward by her, and she stumbled forward behind her.
He didn't stop until he entered a dilapidated and small house.
Upon entering the courtyard, there was only one row of main houses. The courtyard was small and the corners were filled with debris.
Bai Yu'an stood at the door and looked at the young man sitting at the door of the main room.
The man was only in his twenties. He was dressed in gray brown clothes, but his eyes were dull. He put his hands on his knees and looked at the people who came in without turning his eyes.
Gu Yiyi walked to Gu Haiqing's side and looked at Bai Yu'an standing at the door.
"That year, after I fell into the water, I was swept into the pool below. In order to save me, my eldest brother jumped from the shore, but fell on his head and almost drowned in the water."
"But God didn't want my eldest brother and I to die, so we happened to be saved by passers-by."
"After I returned, I developed a high fever and was in a coma for more than ten days. When I woke up, I forgot everything."
"And my eldest brother has been stupid since then. He has been to many doctors but nothing can be done."
As she spoke, Gu Yiyi stared at Bai Yu'an angrily and continued: "My mother saw that my eldest brother and I were like this. She was very sad every day. She died of illness within a year."
"The next year, my father sent my eldest brother and me to the countryside, and he married a new stepmother."
"And my eldest brother and I were mistreated by the servants in the countryside, and I saw that my father never came to see us, and he didn't even send us money or food. I knew that we had been abandoned by my father, and he sold me and my eldest brother to other people."
"The sky has eyes. After I escaped with my eldest brother, I accidentally recovered my memory and spent several years in Lanzhou, a place I was unfamiliar with."
"After coming to the capital, I didn't expect that God would let me meet you. Only then did I know that you were admitted to the top three universities and were still serving in the Hanlin Academy."
Bai Yu'an felt heartbroken as she listened to Gu Yiyi talk about her experiences over the years.
If she had not run away timidly when she fell into the water, the outcome would have been different.
Bai Yuan felt like she had something stuck in her throat, and she slowly took a step forward and whispered to Gu Yiyi: "I didn't expect what happened back then would turn out like this."
Before Bai Yu'an finished speaking, Gu Yiyi stepped forward and interrupted her sharply: "Bai Yu'an, touch your heart and say, did you really not think about the consequences back then?"
She took another step forward and said in a cruel tone: "Or are you also looking forward to the consequences? You want the secret to drown in the water with me!"
Bai Yuan's heart was in confusion, her hands trembled slightly, and she couldn't help but take a step back.
She never dared to face up to her secret thoughts back then and avoided them for many years.
Yes, when Bai Yu'an was ill, he knew that he was the one who had harmed others, and he could not have peace every night.
Bai Yu'an lowered his eyes and spoke again after a long silence: "What do you want me to do?"
Gu Yiyi strode up to Bai Yu'an, and the two stood facing each other, as if they were back in the early spring ten years ago.
At that time, the grass was growing and the orioles were flying, and the two children were still childish. They kowtowed devoutly in the Tutu Temple and became close friends.
It’s just that that year passed by in a hurry, and when I look back, I am no longer a teenager.
The absurd things of youth will always come back in the middle of the night, and the fear, love and hate will always have an ending.
Gu Yiyi now has some sense, and her expression is no longer as crazy as before.
She stared at Bai Yu'an, seeing that this face was still as eye-catching as when she was a child, her childish cheeks were as graceful as jade, and she was still the child prodigy who became famous at a young age.
Although she didn't admit it, Gu Yiyi once looked up to her.
That little boy who was two years younger than her, every move he made was docile and elegant, as clear and distant as the moon on the bottom of the sea, or the white plum blossoms on a branch with his head raised.
But all of this suddenly shattered when he found out that Bai Yu'an was a woman.
The moon on the bottom of the sea was muddied, and the plum blossoms on the branches were splashed with water, making her want to trample under her feet the hypocritical villain who deceived the world.
Gu Yiyi had thought of countless ways to make Bai Yu'an miserable.
The biggest revenge is of course to ruin Bai Yuan's reputation.
Let everyone see what kind of hypocritical and dirty person the elegant and profound Shiro Bai is.
But reason still allowed Gu Yiyi to calm down and let Bai Yuan die. But she and her eldest brother were still in such a miserable state.
So she wants to step on Bai Yu'an to get rid of her current life step by step, and squeeze out every drop of Bai Yu'an's blood.
It would not be too late for her to take revenge at that time.
She stared closely at Bai Yu'an. She, Bai Yu'an, could dress up as a man and take the imperial examination, so why couldn't she?
If she becomes an official, she will definitely do better than Bai Yu'an.
Gu Yiyi's face calmed down, she glared at Bai Yu'an and said in a low voice, "I want the test questions from this spring."
Bai Yu'an was shocked after hearing this and took a step forward: "The exam questions were jointly given by the cabinet bachelor and the Hanlin bachelor. How can I get them?"
Bai Yu'an then looked at Gu Yiyi and said in shock: "Chunwei must be a candidate to participate. Is it possible that you have also participated in the examination?!"
Gu Yiyi's face was cold: "You can do it, why can't I?"
Gu Yiyi has been pretending to be a man these years to protect herself. Her name is the name of a scholar she met on the road who was rushing to take the exam.
The scholar died of illness on the road, so she could use his identity.
Bai Yu'an still frowned and shook his head: "There is no way I can get the scientific examination questions."
She took out another bag from her arms and put it in Gu Yiyi's hand: "There is some money here, take it first."
As he spoke, Bai Yu'an looked at Gu Haiqing who was behind Gu Yiyi.
Although she didn't remember what Gu Haiqing looked like in the past, she vaguely remembered his gentle appearance.
She lowered her eyes and whispered to Gu Yiyi: "You should know the situation in my family. It is really helpless to pretend to be a man."
"My father is very old, so please give me some room."
Gu Yiyi sneered: "Leave two points?"
"When you held me back and I fell into the water, did you leave any room for me?"
"You were thinking that it would be great if I died, right?"
"It's a pity that I was lucky enough to meet you here. This is God's will!"
The past was revealed again, and Bai Yu'an knew that it was wrong for her to run away at the beginning, but it was not an accident when Gu Yiyi fell into the water.
Gu Yiyi saw that Bai Yu'an was silent and said sternly: "If I fail to pass the Jinshi exam this year, then I will report your identity to the government."
"Bai Yu'an, go back and think about it carefully."
"You can either give me tens of thousands of dollars to keep my mouth shut, or you can help me rise in the officialdom."
Bai Yu'an's expression changed slightly and he looked at Gu Yiyi: "You think too highly of me."
"Even if my whole family comes to collect the tens of thousands of dollars, I still can't get it together."
"It's simply unimaginable that a high-ranking scholar has relied on me as a Hanlin editor."
Gu Yiyi sneered: "I only made my request, the rest is your own business and has nothing to do with me."
Bai Yu'an stared at Gu Yiyi and suddenly asked: "Do you still remember the questions from the last exam?"
Just now Gu Yiyi said that she was living in Lanzhou, but without household registration documents, she couldn't take part in the examination at all, so how could she be elected.
Bai Yuan was suspicious, so she asked.
Gu Yiyi's face turned ferocious: "Why are you asking these questions? Just remember that after the test, if you don't meet my conditions, then your house will be confiscated!"
The face of Gu Yiyi in front of her was always cold, and her eyes were full of calculation and threats. Bai Yu'an knew that it would be useless to continue talking.
She already knew in her heart that she was just a bargaining chip for her to stand up.
Bai Yu'an didn't know how Gu Yiyi lived these years and what she had experienced.
Everyone longs for fame, fortune, and wealth. Although she is in debt, it is difficult for her to ask for these things from her.
