"The... the prince consort?"

"My son has made something of himself!"

The deputy commander of the Imperial Guards, a fifth-rank official, had previously wondered why His Majesty had suddenly bestowed upon her the title of Fifth-Rank Lady. Surely it wasn't to celebrate her divorce or to disgust the Marquis's mansion.

It turns out she was enjoying the blessings of her eldest son.

He got divorced one day, got promoted the next, and a princess-like daughter-in-law fell from the sky.

What incredible good fortune!

Jiang Jingtian was taken aback, then crossed his arms and chuckled foolishly. His mother had praised him! Wasn't she praising him?

That father who only cares about his third brother is better off without!

He still has his mother.

There are also my younger brother and sister.

"Waaaaah, Mom... Dad doesn't want me anymore."

The eldest son seized the opportunity to grab Jin's arm and complain, crying like a dumpling, "He wants to invite Feng Jiangliu to be the heir."

Jin spat, "That damned heir, let him give it to whomever he wants. We don't care. My son will earn his own fame and fortune."

A fallen nobleman's son is nowhere near as good as the deputy commander of the Imperial Guards.

The mother and son next door are probably kicking themselves.

Kim was right.

When Madam Jiang woke up, her face was contorted, drool was dripping down her face, her eyes were wide open in anger, her hands were trembling, and she was sobbing as she asked Jiang Qingyun to go and bring the person back.

Jiang Qingyun felt guilty and dared not raise her head.

"Mother, the doctor said you need to rest well and avoid getting excited."

How could he have imagined that not only would his eldest son not be blamed by His Majesty, but he would also become a prince consort and the deputy commander of the Imperial Guards?

Those were the Imperial Guards!

That's real power!

And that's how I kicked myself out.

If only he had known... if only he hadn't brought up the matter of becoming the heir apparent, the Jin family wouldn't have divorced, and his son wouldn't have left.

He vaguely heard laughter from next door, and his face turned pale.

It's all Jin's fault. All she did was ask Jiang Liu to be named the heir, so why did she insist on a divorce? Liu'er calls her "Mother" too. No matter who becomes the heir, isn't she still the legitimate wife of the Marquis's mansion?

And that brat Jiang Jiaojiao, she must have known all along that the eldest brother wouldn't be in trouble, yet she deliberately caused trouble, leading to her parents' divorce. What an unfilial brat!

The second brother... let's not even talk about him, they're birds of a feather!

The most hateful one is the eldest brother. He received such immense wealth and honor, yet he didn't even send anyone to inform him, causing him unnecessary worry. That kick was too light.

They're all such troublemakers!

That's all.

They are his children after all. Let them wait a few days before calling them back.

The Jin family mansion next door.

"Mother, your son and the princess will definitely take good care of you in the future."

Jiang Jingtian, a tough guy, acting cute is cringe-worthy.

Jiang Lingtian never expected that his hot-tempered older brother would have this side to him. When he noticed Jiang Jiaojiao covering her face and peeking, he coughed a few times and said, "Mother, the teacher said I can try out this year."

Sure enough, Jiang Jiaojiao's bright eyes immediately looked over.

Jiang Lingtian silently straightened his back.

He became a scholar at a young age, but failed the imperial examinations for several years. After being enlightened by his teacher, he realized that what he lacked was not knowledge, but vision and breadth of mind. He had been narrow-minded and stuck in a rut all along.

Upon hearing this, Madam Jin was so happy that she wiped away tears.

"Good, good, my Wan'er has finally made it through."

Jin Yuwan was Jin's maiden name. After the divorce, she was no longer the Lady of the Marquis's Mansion, Jiang Jinshi, but Jin Yuwan.

The Jin family members, young and old, also had tears in their eyes.

The old man turned around, wiped his eyes hard, and exclaimed, "Open the ancestral hall and tell our ancestors! The Jin family descendants have made something of themselves!"

"Why! "

The old butler wiped away his tears as he excitedly gave the orders.

Just because they are merchants, these outstanding young masters and sons suffer cold looks and suppression.

This young lady, who was pampered and spoiled since childhood, was actually bullied to this extent by a fallen noble family.

Jin Jiaojiao smiled, her eyes crinkling.

This could be considered a change in the fate of my mother and my two older brothers in their previous lives, right?

Although it was a little unkind to the ancestors to abduct someone from the Marquis's mansion, if you want to blame someone, blame that scumbag father next door.

The eunuch who was delivering the imperial decree had several more heavy red envelopes hidden in his sleeves.

With a wide smile, he said, "The best is yet to come."

The eldest son was greatly favored by the Imperial Concubine Jin in the palace. Not only did he become the prince consort, but he was also appointed as the fifth-rank deputy commander of the Imperial Guards, which was a real power.

And the second son, who has become a disciple of Mr. Li, has a limitless future.

Needless to say, the young lady is the future consort of the Seventh Prince. With the Seventh Prince's health gradually improving, she will be blessed in the future.

Those who made a living in the palace were all shrewd and calculating, so their attitude became increasingly respectful and ingratiating.

The Jin family members, young and old, were flattered and overwhelmed.

The old man wiped away tears several times. Let alone those in the palace, even those from official families had never given them a second glance.

After seeing off the eunuch who delivered the imperial decree,

Holding the land deeds for the two houses, Jiang Jiaojiao's eyes narrowed with joy. "Since these two houses are next to each other, there's no better time than today, let's move in!"

So that the neighbors won't regret it after hearing the imperial edict and come over to cause trouble.

"move!"

Jin Yuwan agreed, "The farther away from the neighbors, the better!"

The thought of that selfish, heartless, and ruthless man living next door made her feel like she was breathing in foul air, and she wanted to move as far away as possible.

"good!"

Madam Jin made the decision, "We moved to this house because we wanted to be closer to Wan'er. It's a house bestowed by the emperor, and I've never even been inside it yet!"

Taking the opportunity, Jin Shiqi expressed his thoughts, "A few days ago, the master kept saying that there wasn't enough space and we had to move. Why don't we turn this whole house into a private school?"

"Invite more teachers and recruit more students, regardless of their social status, only their talent and learning."

Since the Jin family established their own private school and hired Mr. Li, now everyone looks up to them when they go out.

Even the shop's business has seen fewer complaints.

My second cousin was also Mr. Li's last disciple, so this house was perfect for serving as a private school.

"Excellent! The Jin family truly lives up to its reputation as a benevolent family bestowed by His Majesty. On behalf of all the scholars in the world, I thank you!"

Mr. Li had just walked over when he heard Jin Shiqi's words. He was very happy. The lecture a few days ago was packed with students, who surrounded him in circles.

Despite their simple clothes, their hearts burned with a thirst for knowledge.

If the Jin family were to open private schools to provide an opportunity for students from impoverished families to pursue their studies, it would be a truly benevolent act.

It is said that businessmen are selfish and profit-driven.

These days, all he has felt is kindness and righteousness.

On the contrary, those princes were restless and their minds were not on learning at all. If it weren't for Jiaojiao and the Jin family, he would have kicked them out long ago.

"I dare not accept such praise. It is a blessing from our ancestors that Mr. Li is coming to our Jin family to give lectures. We may not have much else, but we have plenty of money. As long as they are willing to study at our academy, we will not charge them a penny for food, clothing, or lodging!"

With a wave of his hand, Old Master Jin transformed the Jin Family School into the Jin Family Private School.

He recruited seven teachers in one go.

Open up private schools and recruit students.

As long as you pass the teachers' test, you can study here free of charge, and your food, clothing, and lodging will be provided free of charge!

It caused a sensation throughout the entire dynasty!

Countless students from impoverished families were thrilled and packed their bags overnight to come and pursue their studies.

With Mr. Li in charge.

Whether they were teachers or students, everyone was in awe and dared not harbor the slightest thought of looking down on the merchants or the Jin family.
