Miss Du Er smiled, her elegance revealing a hint of strangeness that was hard to describe, "I have a favor to ask."

Giving expensive gifts means you are asking something of others.

Mu Wanqing raised her eyebrows. "You are the second daughter of the Du family. You have unparalleled resources and connections. If you can't solve it, I'm afraid I can't do anything about it either."

If she wanted to make peace, then forget it. She didn't want to see the Zhao family at all.

As long as the Zhao family doesn't provoke her, she won't bother to take action.

However, the Zhao family is not having a good time nowadays.

Unexpectedly, Miss Du Er said, "I want Du Er to go to your kindergarten."

"What?" Mu Wanqing suspected that there was something wrong with her ears and looked at the child in her arms. The little guy was four years old this year, with red lips and white teeth. He was very cute. His name was Zhao Du.

He bit his little hand, his long eyelashes flickering, and smiled sweetly at her, so soft and cute, so healing.

"You must be kidding. Your children don't lack the best educational resources."

Miss Du Er smiled bitterly, "I have asked someone to investigate. Your model of teaching the children of the clan is suitable for Du Er. Teaching with fun can stimulate children's interest in learning and also allow children to integrate smoothly into the group."

She patted her son's head lovingly. "Du'er is very smart, but he is too lively and can't sit still. I have found many teachers but it's useless. They are all concerned about Du'er's status and dare not discipline him strictly."

Don't be fooled by him being very well-behaved now. He is actually a troublemaker and only she can control him.

However, as her children got older, she found it difficult to cope with the situation.

She didn't want Zhao Yifan to take over the child's education. He couldn't even teach the child well, so how could he teach a child well?

Mu Wanqing still felt that her idea was too absurd. "Then do you think I am suitable? Will your family agree?"

The Zhao family had suffered several defeats at her hands, and they didn't even have time to hate her, so how could they possibly send their only legitimate son to her?

"Their opinions are not important." When Miss Du talked about her husband's family, there was no emotion at all, and she was as calm as if they were irrelevant people.

"The important thing is, are you willing to accept this student? You are smarter than anyone else, bold and fearless, but you can handle the situation just right and skillfully step on other people's bottom line. If Duer can learn this, I won't have to worry about him."

Mu Wanqing retracted her opinion of her. She was not in love at all, but was clearly a master of acting. "I don't accept disciples."

Miss Du Er looked at her deeply and said, "He is still young, let's take a look first."

Even if you just listen in, you can learn something. Mu Wanqing's abilities are really enviable.

"Actually, you can follow Du Shaoxuan's training route..." Mu Wanqing thought Du Shaoxuan was very good. He had grown up to be a responsible man. He was a little silly, but very cute.

Although, it is impossible to copy the entire book, after all, the identities are different.

Second Miss Du flatly refused, "No, you haven't seen how hard Zedi has worked. He has been learning martial arts since he could just walk, rain or shine, and he has to grit his teeth and continue even when he is tired or injured. He has suffered too much since he was a child. I will not let my child suffer like that."

Mu Wanqing's mouth twitched. How can success come easily? Only those who endure hardships can become the best.

"If jade is not polished, it cannot be made into a useful object."

Even if you have a wealthy family, you still have to walk your own path. Parents will eventually die and cannot support you for your whole life.

If you can't stand up on your own, there's no point in saying anything.

Miss Du covered the child's ears with her hands and suddenly asked, "Do you know why I chose Zhao Yifan?"

This is also what puzzled Mu Wanqing, "Good-looking face?" Although he is better looking than the average man, he is not outstanding.

"Well, it's one thing to look good." Miss Du Er said calmly, "It's also easy to control."

Mu Wanqing:……!!!

Miss Du smiled and said, "Why are you so surprised? You are so smart, you should have known that love is too ethereal and fleeting, so it is better to choose the life you want."

"Although he is not good at reading, he is still a scholar. If his children can read, they can become civil servants. As you know, military households are passed down from generation to generation. If I marry a military officer, my son must also be a military officer. If you are not careful, you will not have a good end if you go back and forth among mountains of corpses and seas of blood."

She was born into a military family and had seen too much blood and killing. She didn't want her descendants to experience this from generation to generation.

She didn't want to live in fear every day, afraid of receiving bad news one day.

She was tired of her mother's tears and tired of living in fear.

"Do you think I'm a little out of touch, disrespectful to our ancestors? Too selfish?"

Mu Wanqing suddenly understood why the Zhao family had not taken much advantage of the Du family, but still had a bad reputation and was disliked by others.

So this is what the second young lady meant.

"Everyone has the right to choose their own life, as long as it does not hurt others."

Call her selfish, she didn't hurt anyone else, she only ruined the reputation of her husband's family.

As for her, being a love-brained person doesn't seem to be a bad reputation.

As long as the Du family does not fall, no one dares to look down on her.

"I know you can understand this, and I'm only telling you this." Miss Du smiled faintly, "You live your own life, just be comfortable, don't worry about what others say."

Mu Wanqing was silent, "You haven't told your family yet?"

"They won't understand." The smile on Miss Du's face faded. "It's better for them to think that I'm confused than to know that I don't want my descendants to follow the path of military officers."

The Du family started with military power, established themselves with military power, and built their careers with military power. Countless Du family members fought bloody battles and died on the battlefield to gain today's glory.

Her idea was equivalent to denying everything and was a betrayal of the family. Not only the Du family couldn't accept it, but outsiders couldn't accept it either.

But everyone has their own aspirations, and we can't say that she is completely wrong. If she was born in a civil servant family, there would be nothing wrong with her idea.

Mu Wanqing has seen a lot and is very tolerant of this kind of thing. "Aren't you afraid that I'll tell others?"

Miss Du suddenly blinked, and her tone became more lively. "Given your entanglement with the Zhao family, no one would believe this."

This made Mu Wanqing burst into laughter, "You're right, I kind of like you."

Miss Du Er had heard that she often taught in person, and she was looking forward to it. The students she taught should not be too bad. "Then will you accept Du Er?"

Countless thoughts flashed through Mu Wanqing's mind, "I have conditions. I'm short of people here. Come and help me."

"What? What did you just say?" Miss Du was extremely surprised.

Mu Wanqing said with a smile, "Come to our Mu Academy and be the vice-president, and help me."

There is wool ready-made, why not grab it?

The deputy principal of the kindergarten is Aunt Liu, and Mu Nannan is her assistant.

The vice-president of Mu's Academy was originally Yu Wanrou, but now she was busy with business and her status was not suitable for the position, so she resigned. The position became vacant, and she had been managing it personally, but sometimes she was too busy to handle it.

Although the head of the Fang family is knowledgeable, he cannot be allowed to manage the academy. By then, no one will know whether his surname is Mu or Fang.

Miss Du is different. She doesn't have such big ambitions.

Miss Du's eyes widened. How could she be more imaginative and unexpected than herself?

"I'm not good at studying, and I'm a woman, and my last name isn't Mu..."

"What are you thinking?" Mu Wanqing said with a smile, "I'm not asking you to be a teacher. I'm responsible for the overall planning and you're responsible for implementation. Our academy doesn't distinguish between men and women, we only look at grades. It doesn't matter what the dean's surname is, as long as he has the ability."

First get the person out of the house, and then take your time.

Once this person has tasted the sweetness, he will no longer be willing to be trapped in the backyard.

The second daughter of the Du family has gone out to work, so what about other women? Are they also following suit? Are they setting a trend?

Instead of talking about gender equality at the top of your voice, it is better to let women be self-reliant.

Only when you are financially independent can you have more say.

It has to be said that this suggestion made Miss Du Er crazy excited. She had been pampered since childhood and had never done anything practical herself.

She is not a person who follows the rules at heart. How could she not be moved when she saw Mu Wanqing, a girl, doing so well?

"Let me think about it."

Mu Wanqing nodded slightly, "Okay, do it as soon as possible. I'm going to be away in a few days. Give me a clear answer before then."

A few days later, a sudden thunderclap struck out of nowhere, shocking everyone.

Miss Du Er became the vice-president of Mu's Academy, and her only son, Zhao Du, entered Mu's kindergarten.

This shocked everyone in Xiliang. What was going on?

Didn’t they say that Mu Wanqing’s quarrel with the Zhao family was ugly? What was this?

When the gossipers asked Zhao Yifan about it in person, Zhao Yifan's first reaction was confusion and he suspected that there was something wrong with his ears.

The other party was even more surprised than him, "You don't know? The Second Miss made the decision first and asked for permission later? No way? Didn't you say that everything in the family is up to you?"

Zhao Yifan's face turned green, and he managed to find an excuse, "I...of course I know, I'm just surprised how it spread so quickly?"

"Is that true? What do you think?" The other party looked confused.

Zhao Yifan gritted his teeth and squeezed out a sentence, "It's better to make enemies than to dissolve them, right?"

Bullshit! He even wanted to tear the other person to pieces.

The other party suddenly realized, "Oh, I see." He was afraid of Mu Wanqing.

No, what do you understand? Zhao Yifan himself didn't understand what he said.

He couldn't stay there for a moment and hurried to the villa.

In the villa, the only residents are Miss Du and her son, and they live a very carefree life.

He rushed to the inner courtyard, and when he saw his wife, he shouted angrily, "Are you crazy? You actually want to be the vice president of Mu's Academy? Take your son with you? Do you know what you are talking about? What do people outside say?"

He was furious, feeling like he was stabbed in the back by the person he trusted the most. He screamed hysterically, "I won't allow you to do that. Do you hear me? I won't allow you to step out of the house."

Miss Du looked at him quietly, frowning, and said, "How about you talk to my father first?"

It was like a bucket of cold water poured over Zhao Yifan's head, extinguishing all his anger. "You mean... this is what Du Shuai meant? How is that possible? He never cares about family affairs."

What he feared most was not his parents, but the majestic Du Shuai, who might have killed many people and was full of murderous aura, which made him afraid involuntarily.

Second Miss Du sighed softly, "This is not a family matter. Mu Wanqing was conferred the title of Qingping Township Lady by the court. Your whole family slapped her in the face in front of the imperial envoy. No, you slapped the emperor in the face. You are dissatisfied with the emperor's award..."

Zhao Yifan shuddered with fear, "We didn't, that's definitely not what we meant."

Miss Du Er was even more worried. "Then, does the Imperial Envoy believe it? Does the Emperor believe it?"

He definitely wouldn't believe it. Zhao Yifan knew that the imperial envoy was dissatisfied with him, but didn't he have his father-in-law to support him?

With General Du around, the emperor will definitely give him some face.

Miss Du Er looked worried. "My father never cares about these things, but he suddenly decided to do this. He must have heard some rumors. If the imperial envoy reports you, my father won't be able to protect you. You... Hey, if anything happens to you, what should Du Er and I do?"

She left room for imagination, and Zhao Yifan couldn't help but imagine it in his mind. The more he thought about it, the more scared he became.

He doesn't want to die!

"So, they want you to go and show goodwill? To show that there are no conflicts between the two families, and to show it to the imperial envoy?" This seems okay.

Miss Du covered her face and sighed, "I'm in a dilemma too. Hey, isn't it good to just eat and drink at home? I really don't want to go."

Zhao Yifan couldn't help but get anxious, "No, no, no, you have to go, and you have to pretend to be there, just think of it as doing it for me and the child, Madam, just do me a favor."

Miss Du shrugged her shoulders, as if she was crying in grievance, "It's very tiring. I will be pointed at by others, and my mother-in-law and sister-in-law will hate me. I feel wronged just thinking about it..."

"Mother and sister...I'll talk to them." A trace of gloom flashed in Zhao Yifan's eyes. His sister completely hated him and his mother, and was making a mess all day long.

The wife had no choice but to move to another courtyard with the children. What was going on?

He looked at his aggrieved wife, felt deeply for her difficulties, bowed deeply, and said, "Thank you for your hard work, madam."

"For you, I am willing to endure a little hardship." Miss Du covered her eyes with a handkerchief. "Hey, you are my husband after all. I hope you will be well more than anyone else. Don't be so picky with your sister. She will get married eventually. Just be patient."

At this moment, the voice of Zhao's mother could be heard from outside, "Ahhh, what misfortune for our family. How could our Zhao family have such an unlucky person entering the family..."

Zhao Yifan's face changed. Why did his mother follow him to the villa?

He didn't even dare to look at his wife's expression, and ran out, "I'll go out and take a look, ma'am, you stay in the room and don't come out."

Second Miss Du took off her handkerchief, her eyes full of indifference. How could she be sad at all?

Let the men deal with the Zhao family’s troubles.

The renovation of Mu Wanqing's village chief's mansion was completed, and the family moved in at an auspicious time.

The three-story house was changed into a four-story house. The first story was a study and reception room for entertaining guests. The second story's main house was where Mr. Mu and his wife lived, and the east and west wing rooms were divided among his two sons. The third story was where Mu Wanqing lived. She had specially changed the east wing room into a laboratory so that she could implement some ideas at any time.

The fourth courtyard was where the servants lived. This time, three more families were bought, and there were more than twenty servants who were responsible for cleaning the courtyard and doing miscellaneous chores.

Mu Wanqing had four maids, Lichun, Lixia, Liqiu and Lidong.

These people not only have to take care of her daily life, but also have to learn from her and will be her little helpers in the future.

After the grand banquet, the imperial envoys set off back to the capital, taking away Mu Wanqing's letter of thanks and gifts for the emperor and empress, as well as various food and gifts for them.

It can be said that the harvest was fruitful.

As soon as they left, Mu Wanqing arranged everything and excitedly set out for Ganzhou City.

Ganzhou, she is here again!

Small money and big money are waiting for her!
