"Boss, there's news from Acheng, please go over there."

After seeing Gu Qing off, Gu Jue, who was still drinking tea, was disturbed by a piece of news.

Hearing Ayi's words, Gu Jue's eyes suddenly became sharp.

It seems that the noble families are preparing to get rid of Wanshu Pavilion before the emperor issues an order.

"I'm going to the Wanshu Pavilion. You stay in the mansion."

"Yes."

2nd floor of Wanshuge

"what happened?"

As soon as he entered the room, Gu Jue asked Cheng Cheng who was already waiting in the room.

Cheng Cheng's face was very serious. When he saw Gu Jue, he immediately explained the situation.

"Someone sneaked into the Wanshu Pavilion last night and was about to set it on fire, but was caught by Jiu and the others."

"Today, someone sneaked into the Wanshu Pavilion again. The backyard is heavily guarded and three people have been caught. Today, someone on the first floor of the library also entered the Wanshu Pavilion disguised as a scholar, intending to secretly destroy the books. But before he could start the action, he was discovered by Jiu."

"Now the person is locked up in the backyard, and the situation has been investigated."

"There are people from three families. Last night they were from the Tang family. Today, those found in the backyard are from the Tang family, the Lin family, and the Ge family. The one found on the first floor is from the Su family. They are all very strong and tried to escape when they were caught."

Hearing this, a frost appeared in Gu Jue's eyes, and the aura around him became suppressed and gloomy.

"Since you have declared war on us, we won't be polite."

"Just cripple the man and send him back as a warning. If they come again, don't be polite, just chop him up and send him in front of them."

Hearing Gu Jue's cold voice, Cheng Cheng concealed the coldness in his eyes.

"clear."

"Send a message to Qiu Ye, asking him to speed up."

"Yes."

Just after finishing dealing with the matters of Wanshu Pavilion, the coldness and gloom on Gu Jue's body had not yet disappeared when the door was pushed open.

The person who came in was the one guarding the first floor. As soon as he entered the room, he was instantly frightened by the aura of Gu Jue.

"What happened on the first floor?" the person asking the question was Ajiu.

Because of Gu Jue's arrival, Jiu stayed in the room on the second floor with Cheng Cheng to discuss things. When he saw his men rushing in, he thought something had happened downstairs again.

"Boss, Brother Nine, Brother Cheng. The Prince of Xiang is here. He is reading a book on the first floor now." The visitor said anxiously.

Hearing this, Cheng Cheng and Ajiu both subconsciously looked at Gu Jue.

Upon hearing the news from Shen Zhuo, Gu Jue's pupils suddenly shrank, and it took a moment for him to suppress the emotions in his eyes.

He lowered his head and thought for a moment, then spoke in a low voice.

"Just treat him as an ordinary guest. If he plans to read on the first floor," Gu Jue paused slightly.

"If he wants to read in the Wanshu Pavilion, please invite him to the box on the second floor."

Cheng Cheng knew that Shen Zhuo was special, and was a little surprised to hear Gu Jue's words. His expression and behavior clearly showed that he was very concerned, but he said that he treated him as an ordinary guest.

After thinking about it, Chengcheng asked a relatively important question.

"Which box should we invite him to? Do we need tea and snacks?"

After hearing Cheng Cheng's words, Gu Jue hesitated to answer.

Just when Cheng Cheng thought he would be treated as an ordinary guest, Gu Jue finally answered.

"I'm leaving now. Have someone clean up this place. He likes rose cakes, so prepare a few more kinds of pastries. And for tea, use the new tea that Cha Cha prepared."

After saying that, Gu Jue stood up and walked towards the door.

Seeing this, Chengcheng and Ajiu still had something to understand. The two looked at each other and clearly saw the helplessness in each other's eyes.

"You go and handle it. I have to hide for a while. He should remember me." Chengcheng patted Ajiu's shoulder. The two were completely helpless.

Although they were helpless, they really had no better way.

The current situation was the best for both Shen Zhuo and them. After all, they were all aware of what had happened before, and they knew the pain of the two, and they understood Gu Jue's behavior.

In fact, they have always known that the current boss is just using other things to divert their attention and vision. Since they can't see or touch him, it's natural that he won't be like before.

They also don't know whether this situation is good or bad.

It’s just that the boss’ previous injury made them dare not let him do whatever he wants, at least not now, at least they have to wait until his internal injuries healed.

The boss’ injuries have not yet fully healed. Not only his internal injuries have not healed, but even his external injuries have not healed completely.

Now the boss is deliberately avoiding Shen Zhuo, which is actually the best way, good for both of them.

Wanshuge 1st floor

At this time, Shen Zhuo was observing beside the bookshelf on the first floor.

Originally, he had no plan to go out, let alone come to Wanshu Pavilion.

Although he had been in the palace, he had also heard about the Wanshu Pavilion, but his illness had not yet healed, and his mother was very strict and would not let him go out at will.

Originally, he had no plan to come to Wanshu Pavilion, but...

Thinking of the inexplicable things that appeared on the desk last night, Shen Zhuo sighed softly.

In the end, I couldn't help it and came to Wanshu Pavilion.

It’s just that this Wanshu Pavilion is indeed very popular among scholars as rumored.

The desks next to these large bookshelves were also filled with scholars. Those scholars had one thing in common: their clothes showed signs of being torn and mended.

There are many books on the bookshelf, some of which he has never read.

However, looking at the rows of books, Shen Zhuo was surprised.

There were several books he had read before, but he had not read them anywhere else, let alone in the palace, but in the mansion of the marquis, at her place.

She always had endless books to read and always books he had never seen.

After realizing what he was thinking, Shen Zhuo shook his head lightly.

I put aside all the thoughts in my mind and picked up a book to read.

Just as Shen Zhuo picked up a book and started reading, someone walked up to him.

Shen Zhuo turned his head and saw that the other person was a tall and strong man.

The man was wearing dark black clothes with a bunch of delicate and beautiful orchids embroidered on them. He looked very imposing. Was he the boss of Wanshu Pavilion?

A little bit different.

Before Shen Zhuo could figure it out, the man took the initiative to ask.

"Do you want to read books? Recently, the second floor of Wanshu Pavilion is open to the public. Guests can go to the second floor to read books. The first floor is reserved for scholars who need to take the imperial examinations."

"Does the guest want to go to the second floor?"

The other party seemed very polite. Shen Zhuo followed his words and looked at the desks next to the bookshelf, which were already full of scholars.

They're all full.

After a pause, Shen Zhuo nodded and said, "Thank you."

“Is this your first time here?”

"You need to register at the counter first."

Shen Zhuo followed the man to the counter, and when he heard the man's question, he responded, "Yeah, it's my first time here."

It was the first time that Shen Zhuo met such a familiar person. As soon as he finished answering, the man couldn't wait to introduce Wanshu Pavilion to him.

I have to say that Wanshu Pavilion is really good. It has a lot of books and very good rules. It is good for Dayan and scholars and very beneficial.

"Guest, the private room on the second floor only costs one tael of silver, but if you need tea and snacks, you will need to pay one tael more."

"You can have unlimited refills of tea without having to pay. Just turn over the sign on the side of the door. You will understand once you get to the room. There are instructions posted inside the room."

"If you need to refill your snacks, it will cost one tael of silver per refill."

As the man introduced things, Shen Zhuo paid the money, and soon, Shen Zhuo was taken to the second floor.

Seeing the empty low round bookshelf on the second floor, Shen Zhuo was a little curious, "What is sold on the second floor? I see there is a bookshelf here, why are there no books?"
