Since his little Bai finally wants to sleep in, Chen Tian naturally has to seize the opportunity to perform well.

So he worked hard all morning, finishing all the housework he could do as quickly as possible before preparing breakfast seriously.

When breakfast was ready, Bai Su came out of the room.

Today, Bai Su wore a moon-white gown, which they had just bought in town. Given the price, it was naturally better than his previous clothes in terms of material and style.

The fitted dress looked exceptionally elegant on Bai Su, and the cuffs were embroidered with bamboo in the same color thread. If you didn't look closely, you wouldn't be able to see it.

Chen Tian naturally thought that Bai Su looked good in any way, and he looked stunning even if he just changed into a new set of clothes.

The most important thing is that I always feel that Bai Su's smile today is more attractive than before.

There seemed to be a hint of emotion in the look she gave him, but he couldn't tell whether it was genuine or just because he was being seduced by her beauty.

The meals were served one by one, simple yet thoughtfully prepared: white flour buns, chicken congee, stir-fried seasonal vegetables, and freshly pickled vegetables.

It’s not that Chen Tian doesn’t want to make some more tempting-looking food like dumplings, but he is in a hurry to finish all the housework and can’t make anything too complicated. This little time in the morning is not enough.

However, the shredded chicken was also cut very finely, the porridge was soft, sticky and thick, and it was dotted with green vegetables, which looked very appetizing.

Bai Su had come out wanting to help, but after a while, he found himself with nothing to do. He hadn't expected his beloved to be so efficient. He had only come out a little late, and she'd become a "freeloader."

Feeling a little happier and more comfortable, he went to invite Bai's mother, who had already woken up, out, and the three of them sat around the table to have dinner together.

Chen Tian served the dishes diligently as usual. Looking at the gentle smile on Bai Su's face, he had no idea what exciting things he had done after waking up, nor what irresistible thoughts he had hidden.

The pickles were sent by Aunt Chunying next door. They are refreshing and go well with rice, and are perfect with porridge.

Bai Su ate half a bowl more than usual, feeling comfortable everywhere with Zi Chen by his side.

After testing each other step by step these days, he could actually feel that Chen Tian had a good impression of him, but he was not sure whether this good impression was limited to brotherhood.

Besides, Bai Su also has his own pride. He doesn't think that a small talent is worthy of the beauty of his beloved, so in this provincial examination, he decided not to hide his edge.

However, he still had to take precautions against those who had suddenly appeared before and intended to harm him. He had to find out who was looking for them and deal with them as soon as possible. He couldn't let his beloved be in danger because of him.

Thinking of this, Bai Su stayed at home for a few days. After noticing that the people around him didn't seem to have any unusual movements, he went to the town alone.

This time he did not go shopping, but went to the study and found the old manager there to ask for help.

Bai Su has been working with the study for a long time. The old manager has always appreciated him and helps him whenever needed.

Bai Su also knew that the old steward's identity might not be as simple as it seemed, and asking him to handle it would be much better than doing it himself.

"What? You said that shortly after you left the study with your friends, you encountered a group of people who intended to harm you!"

Old steward, do you remember that the friend who came with Bai Su last time was their Second Prince!

The thought of his master and Bai Su being in danger together made the old steward break out in a cold sweat. He was only thankful that their master was a skilled martial artist, otherwise who knows what disaster would have befallen him.

"Everything is still in the hands of Manager Wang. Suzhi thanks you. I am willing to reduce the price of the storybook by 10% as a token of my appreciation."

After Bai Su explained the whole story, he thanked the old steward.

Seeing this, the old steward hurriedly gave him a hand and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Bai, leave this matter to me.

As for the share you mentioned, not only can it not be reduced, I originally wanted to discuss with Mr. Bai and raise it to 20%. You don't know that your storybook is now the cash cow of our study. Helping you is my duty, and this share must not be reduced!

Bai Su was grateful when he saw the other party's firm attitude and took on the task without any hesitation.

Although merchants value profit, the study has been very kind to him over the past few years, and it is more humane than other places. This is why he only cooperates with this study on his story.

Bai Su didn't express any extra gratitude. After all, no matter how nice the words sounded, they were just empty words. He only thought to himself that when he achieved success one day, he would definitely not let down those who had helped him.

Bai Su finished speaking and left, unaware that Chen Tian, ​​who was quietly following him, had seen everything. He even heard everything he said to the old steward.

After Bai Su left, Chen Tian immediately appeared.

The old steward was naturally surprised to see his master. When he heard Chen Tian say that the next time Bai Su came, he would tell him that the truth had been dealt with, which made him feel at ease. He also realized that his master had a different attitude towards Bai Su.

"Your Highness seems to appreciate Mr. Bai very much." said the old steward.

Chen Tian nodded and said naturally, "Indeed, Suzhi is not only my savior, but also my confidant. Suzhi is a man of great talent, and I believe he will become a loyal official of Dongye in the future."

After hearing this, the old steward valued Bai Su even more and decided that if Mr. Bai came to him for help again in the future, he would do his best.

Afterwards, the old steward reported some news from outside. After listening to the latest situation, Chen Tian knew that everything was fine both in the border areas and in the capital, so he left.

Through 009, Chen Tian had already learned that Li Ergou really knew that the person behind him was Li Zixiu.

However, in order to extort more money from Li Zixiu, Li Ergou knew that he would be beaten whether he told the truth or not, so he refrained from revealing who was behind the incident.

Of course, Li Ergou was beaten badly by the gang that day, and the little money left in his family was robbed. However, he got it all back from Li Zixiu.

Li Zixiu was still only a student, and even though he knew he wasn't talented in writing, he still wanted to pass the exam and become a scholar, just like in his previous life. Furthermore, in order to pursue Li Xiaochan, he couldn't let his reputation get in the way.

So when Li Ergou came to ask for money with injuries all over his body, although Li Zixiu was angry, he knew that now was not the time to be reluctant to spend the money.

So he spent a lot of money to get rid of Li Ergou.

While secretly hating Li Ergou's greed, he was also shocked that the beautiful woman following Bai Su had such powerful martial arts skills.

This actually made him behave himself for a while. He also knew that he could no longer follow the original plan and find someone to teach Bai Su a lesson, so he put all his energy into showing goodwill to Li Xiaochan.

But no matter what Li Zixiu did, Li Xiaochan seemed not to buy his advice, which made Li Zixiu more and more impatient.

Li Zixiu felt that he was a scholar and his family background was one of the best in Lijia Village, otherwise he would have no money to study.

Now, Li Xiaochan was just a village girl, but she looked down on him. She thought it must be because she was still only a student and not a scholar.

After all, he had noticed these days that Li Xiaochan had a different attitude towards Bai Su, the only scholar in the village, and he just thought that this woman was snobbish.

Unexpectedly, after being reborn, Bai Su was still so annoying. Li Zixiu felt jealous and hateful.

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He felt that if it weren't for Bai Su, the stumbling block, Li Xiaochan would definitely choose him as a scholar.

So if one plan fails, another one will come up with another. Since the hard approach doesn’t work, let’s try the soft approach!

Thinking of this, Li Zixiu found an opportunity and made an appointment with his cousin Li Cuiliu.

In the evening, beside the bamboo forest on the back mountain, Li Zixiu waited for a long time before he saw a slim woman walking towards him with her waist twisted. It was his cousin Li Cuiliu.

"Cousin, why did you remember me after so long? I missed you so much!"

As Li Cuiliu spoke, she snuggled into Li Zixiu's arms.

Li Zixiu did not refuse and directly hugged Li Cuiliu, and the two of them hugged each other passionately.

It can be said that the two of them had already done something, but to Li Zixiu, Li Cuiliu was just a plaything of his.

Li Cuiliu was not a virgin. She had been married to a family in nearby Hejia Village at an early age.

Although Li Cuiliu is not as pretty as the pampered daughters of wealthy families, she is still pretty good-looking in this village.

The family also liked Li Cuiliu's appearance and gave her a lot of betrothal gifts.

But after marrying her, he found out that this woman had nothing good except her looks, and she was not easy to deal with at all. She was not sincere in living with him at all.

Li Cuiliu was lazy and greedy, not only did she love to take advantage of small things, she also stole from her uncle's family. She took advantage of her husband and uncle's absence to cruelly mistreat her parents-in-law and had an affair with the widower next door, doing many disgusting things that angered her husband so much that he divorced her.

But even so, Li Cuiliu was still restless and loved to flirt with other men.

Li Zixiu was also a frivolous person. When Li Cuiliu threw herself into his arms, he took her in. The two of them would occasionally meet in the back mountain.

"Cousin, you finally remembered to call me out. I think you've been so obsessed with that Li Xiaochan lately that you've completely forgotten me, your cousin!"

After they were done, the two of them clung together and whispered sweet nothings to each other.

Li Zixiu didn't take it to heart when he heard this, but said, "Of course I miss my cousin, but the most important thing is that I came here to tell her something good!"

"Oh? Cousin, do you have any good news that makes you think of me?" Li Cuiliu became excited when she heard this.

Li Zixiu smirked and said, "Then I'll have to ask my good cousin if she wants to marry the only scholar in Li Village!"

Hearing this, Li Cuiliu was immediately concerned.

Not to mention that Mr. Bai is handsome and a real delight. He's a real scholar, so he must be well-educated. He might even become an official in the future. If I could marry him, I'd definitely live a life of luxury.

What's more, he has only a blind old mother in his family. No matter who marries into his family, she can make the final decision!

However, no matter how good the girls in the surrounding villages were, their appearance and family background were, they could not catch Bai Su's eye. Matchmakers encountered countless setbacks with him.

How could such a good thing happen to me?

The author has something to say:

Chen Tian: You are self-aware. Of course, this kind of good thing can only happen to me!
