Sisi was sitting on the veranda, lost in thought, when Aunt Feng returned. "Your great-grandfather wants you to come over. He says he'll personally teach you from now on."

Sisi pouted. Even now, he still had the mind to care about her? Her great-grandfather was truly a good official, truly devoted to the emperor, even unto death. Unfortunately, his emperor had long been so easily swayed by Consort Zhang and the Seventh Prince that he couldn't distinguish right from wrong.

Sisi stood up from her chair. "Then I'll go over there. If anyone gives you a hard time, don't be polite to them. You'll soon be the proper Third Young Mistress."

"Okay, I'll deal with anyone who gives me a hard time."

"Um."

Just as Old Master Yun was sending his servant to the Ministry of Rites to inform the Left Vice Minister that he wouldn't be attending today, Sisi swaggered in. "You were looking for me?"

Grandpa Yun frowned. "You should have said, 'Great-grandfather, you're looking for me?'"

Sisi readily agreed. It's just a form of address, isn't it? It's just a formality, isn't it? "Great-grandfather, you were looking for me?"

Old Master Yun thought to himself, "This child is teachable." "Can you read?"

"know."

Who taught you that?

"My mother." Most of the girls who were sold to brothels at a young age were literate. Being literate allowed them to discuss poetry with others, and it also allowed them to earn more money for the brothels.

Old Master Yun: "..." He'd forgotten that Consort Feng was carefully cultivated by the Hundred Flowers Pavilion. "What books have you read?"

"The Three Character Classic, the Hundred Family Surnames, and the Thousand Character Classic"

That's it?

"It's gone."

"Your great-grandfather first taught you to read 'Admonitions for Women'."

"good."

Old Master Yun looked at the maid in the room. "Go and fetch a copy of 'Admonitions for Women'."

"yes."

A moment later, the maid brought the book.

After the maid brought the book, Old Master Yun began to teach Sisi.

Sisi is so well-behaved. She does whatever Grandpa Yun says without ever arguing.

Old Bai returned around mid-morning.

When he got back, he found the character "囍" (double happiness) pasted everywhere in the Yun family's house. Old Bai thought he had drunk too much the night before and gone to the wrong place.

Old Bai went outside to take a look.

Is this the Yun residence?

Old Bai came in again.

After entering, Lao Bai asked a servant why there were so many "囍" characters pasted on the mansion.

The servant looked at him with a smile and said, "Aunt Feng is going to marry the Third Young Master. Aunt Feng is going to become the Third Young Master's wife."

Old Bai was so surprised that he let out a burp.

A little monster is just a little monster!

She turned her mother from a concubine into a young mistress in just one day after arriving in the capital!

"Do you know where Xiao Yao... um... do you know where Miss Sisi is right now?"

"I know. Miss Sisi is studying with the old lady at the old master's house."

After finding out where Grandpa Yun was, Lao Bai came to find Sisi.

As soon as I arrived, I heard Sisi reading "Admonitions for Women" with Grandpa Yun.

Old Bai picked at his ears. He must have misheard; this definitely wasn't the little monster's voice.

The gatekeeper asked when he saw Lao Bai arrive, "Are you here to see Miss Sisi?"

Yes. Is she there?

"Yes. But you'll have to wait a bit. The old master is teaching Miss Sisi to read, and he doesn't allow anyone to disturb him when he's teaching the young masters and ladies of the manor to read."

"I'll come back later. By the way, how many students are inside?"

"Just Miss Sisi."

"Hiccup!" Old Bai hiccuped again. "Is there only one student inside... um... Miss Sisi?"

"Um."

"Hiccup!" The little monster actually obediently recited "Admonitions for Women" after Old Man Yun!

Old Bai rubbed his head. He decided to go back to sleep; what he was seeing and hearing now wasn't real.

Another half hour passed, and guests arrived. Grandpa Yun didn't have time to teach Sisi anymore. "You should go back first. Your great-grandfather will teach you when he has time."

"good."

Old Bai was sleeping soundly when Sisi arrived.

Old Bai sat up. "You're here! Guess what I just dreamt about? I actually dreamt that you were reciting 'Admonitions for Women.' Hahahaha..."

Sisi poured Lao Bai a cup of tea. "Have you run out of money?"

"Um."

"Have you found out?"

"I found out." Old Bai told Sisi what he had found out.

After listening, Sisi told Lao Bai what had happened last night.

Old Bai was completely awake! "I wasn't dreaming just now?"

"no."

"Why are you being so obedient? Are you trying to appease Old Man Yun first, and then persuade him not to go against Consort Zhang and the others?"

Sisi looked at Lao Bai and said, "Rome wasn't built in a day, and Old Man Yun's loyalty wasn't cultivated overnight either. It will take me at least a month to get him to listen to me. Do you think Consort Zhang and the others will endure it for another month?"

Old Bai shook his head. "They've been holding back for a long time, and they're getting impatient."

“The longer it goes on, the more things might go wrong. If I were in his shoes, I would get rid of him too. I only followed him in reciting the ‘Admonitions for Women’ because I didn’t want to cause him any trouble. I sent Old Hei out with the money to find someone. I’m leaving the capital to you.”

"Alright. Old Man Yun is really something. Not only is he stupid himself, but he also turned his son, daughter-in-law, grandson, and granddaughter-in-law into idiots. Only your father is somewhat clever."

Just as Old Bai finished speaking, the butler's voice came from outside. "Miss Sisi, are you inside?"

"Yes. Come in."

"yes."

A moment later, the butler came in. "Miss Sisi, your eldest aunt is here. She and Miss Sun are very close. It was she who arranged the marriage between the Third Young Master and Miss Sun. As soon as she arrived, she said she wanted to see you and your mother. What do you think?"
