Although Shao Yan has been with Xie Yunjiao for quite some time, she feels that she is finding it increasingly difficult to understand Xie Yunjiao.

Just now she was talking to her in a friendly manner, but in the blink of an eye, she stood up and said she was leaving.

"Boss, are you leaving so soon?" Shao Yan asked.

"You, you, are now the wife of a high-ranking official, yet you still call me boss. Aren't you afraid of being laughed at? You should have changed your words long ago." Xie Yunjiao said.

"I don't want to. Once the boss, always the boss. I just like calling you the boss." Shao Yan said.

This is the special connection between her and Xie Yunjiao, and she doesn't want to break it.

If Xie Yunjiao was called by any other name, she would feel that it was not close enough.

Xie Yunjiao couldn't do anything about Shao Yan, so she said a few words to Shao Yan and left in a hurry.

Xie Yunjiao went to find Doudou and learned that although Wu Mingde was the Minister of the Hanlin Academy, he was not having an easy time in the Hanlin Academy because of the incident between him and Princess Mingyue.

Although he is the boss, he does not get the respect he deserves from his subordinates. They even deliberately make things difficult for him and throw some difficult tasks to Wu Mingde because they are old employees.

When Doudou went there, they actually asked Wu Mingde to sort out all the paintings of the apprentices of the Hanlin Academy in previous years and throw away those that were no longer needed.

This is a huge project and it could easily be a thankless task. If someone's important paintings are lost, it would only offend them.

"I wonder how Wu Mingde can still be so arrogant this time. He actually wants to take this opportunity to teach us a lesson. It's really funny." said the subordinate named Ding.

Another one also echoed: "That's not the case, we clearly look down on him, so what, after all, he came here to curry favor with Princess Mingyue.

The late Emperor and Princess Mingyue both ignored him, so why should we be afraid of him? "

"So this is how you work in the Hanlin Academy? Instead of working properly, you spend the whole day thinking about currying favor and scheming against each other. I think it's time to establish some rules in the Hanlin Academy." Doudou walked over and said.

The two people were stunned when they saw the little Doudou. The tone of his voice just now seemed quite intimidating, but when they turned around, they saw that he was just a little kid.

A disdainful smile appeared on their faces, and they said, "When did it become the turn of a little kid to speak in our Hanlin Academy?" He even dared to teach them a lesson, which was simply courting his own death.

"Doudou, why are you here?" Wu Mingde was busy and sweating profusely. He finally moved all the paintings out of the storage room, but found that some of the paintings were stored improperly, some were bitten by insects, and some were damp.

The problem is not particularly serious.

He was just worrying about what to do, luckily Doudou came over. He didn't believe that with an extra helper, he still couldn't come up with a solution to the problem.

"Brother, why don't you let them help?" Doudou asked.

Wu Mingde glanced at them, the light in his eyes dimmed, he pursed his lips and said nothing.

Senior brother? The two men surnamed Ding glanced at each other with mocking smiles on their faces. They thought it was someone else, but it turned out to be Wu Mingde’s junior brother, a little kid at that.

You want to teach them a lesson now? You really don't know your place.

"Say, Master Wu, can anyone enter our Hanlin Academy? I remember that the rules of the Hanlin Academy are not like this, right?"

"That's not true, but you are just a subordinate, and you speak to your boss like that. I think you are the most unruly person." Doudou said.

"How dare you, a little kid, speak like that to an official of the imperial court? Are you courting death?"

The man surnamed Ding and another person looked at each other and decided to capture Doudou so that they could report Doudou to their superiors and give Wu Mingde a warning to see if he would dare to order them around in the future.

Although Wu Mingde did not know martial arts, he could not just ignore it when he saw his fellow apprentice being bullied.

He hurriedly raised his hand to stop him, but was pushed away forcefully by the man surnamed Ding.

The man surnamed Ding was from the north, so he was naturally taller and stronger than Wu Mingde, a native southerner. He pushed Wu Mingde away in one go.

He hit Doudou, thinking he could catch him easily.

Unexpectedly, a slightly taller figure appeared and started fighting with him together with Doudou.

The hateful thing was that they were obviously two little kids, but they were not as disorganized as he was. Their moves were powerful and forceful, and the wind from their fists was rustling. One of their punches hit his abdomen, and his eyes went black, and he fell to the ground.

The other person saw that the tall Ding was beaten, and he was just a weak scholar and was completely powerless.

He could only yell at Doudou and Lian Jin, "How dare you, you common people, assault an official appointed by the imperial court. Your crime is unforgivable. Just wait."

With that, the man disappeared in a flash.

Doudou asked Lian Jin to tie up Ding.

When the other person rushed back with his men, Ding had been tied up like a dumpling and could not move.

"How dare they beat up and tie up an imperial official. Their crime is even more serious." said Ding's accomplice.

“Bold!”

Following behind that man was Zhang Sheng who was beside Xu Heshan. He shouted angrily.

Ding's accomplice laughed triumphantly: "Yeah, how bold! Kneel down for us!"

"Kneel down." Zhang Sheng said, and kicked Ding's accomplice to the ground.

"Master Lian, you're here." Zhang Sheng said respectfully.

Ding was stunned. Even Young Master? And even Zhang Sheng treated him so respectfully. Could it be that...

Ding knew everything and immediately thought that Doudou was Xu Heshan's new disciple, Lian Jue.

His expression suddenly changed, as if he had never said the curse words, and he immediately said a lot of flattering words to Doudou.

"Zhang Sheng, is my master here?" Doudou asked.

"Yes, Lord Xu would be very happy if he knew you were here," said Zhang Sheng.

"But I'm not happy because someone bullied my senior brother." Doudou said.

Ding's accomplices were slow to react, but they also realized it at this time.

How could he have imagined that the little kid in front of him was actually Xu Heshan’s apprentice!

"Master Lian, I'm blind and don't recognize a great man!"

"The people in our Hanlin Academy bully the weak and fear the strong. They don't even follow the principles between the ruler and his subjects. They are just two small subordinates, but they dare to bully their superiors just because they have someone behind them. Doesn't the master care?" Doudou said angrily.

Ding said hurriedly: "Misunderstanding, Mr. Lian, this is all a misunderstanding."

"Is there such a thing?! I will take care of it, don't worry, sir." Zhang Sheng said and glanced at Ding and the other man.

These two people are the cancer of the Hanlin Academy, but they do have people behind them, and Xu Heshan is immersed in the world of art and doesn't care about these things at all, so they dare to bully Wu Mingde.

Since this has happened, he might as well get rid of it, killing two birds with one stone.
