The Second Madam's eyes sharpened. "What's the matter?"
The second wife is smart and won't help others easily.
This time, when Wanruo came to deliver medicine, the Second Madam paid her with money. It was the easiest thing to pay her with money, but she was afraid that she would be ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth and make excessive demands.
"I want to ask the Second Madam to help me get Ajin out of the Xie clan school."
The Second Madam was a little surprised. She thought Xu Wanruo was ambitious and wanted to ask her for help in arranging a marriage of higher rank, or was thinking of a way to stay in the Xie family forever.
"That's quite unusual. The Xie family is renowned for its talent and scholarship. Countless people are desperately trying to get into the Xie clan school. Your brother is already very lucky to be able to study there, yet you still want to leave?"
Wan Ruo lowered her eyes, and when she raised them again, they were red. "Although the clan school is small, Ah Jin comes from a humble background and was always bullied there. When he came back today, I saw that he was covered in wounds, and I felt really distressed."
"In the final analysis, it's still not right to marry above your station. If Ajin continues to stay in the clan school, who knows how many beatings he will receive."
The Second Madam's expression softened slightly. "If you want it, why ask me? Just go and tell the headmaster yourself."
Wan Ruo said in embarrassment, "But even if she leaves the Xie family school, Ajin still has to study. I know that the Second Madam also comes from a scholarly family, and her uncle is the principal of Maoshan Academy. Maoshan Academy is also a well-known academy, and most of the students it accepts are from ordinary families."
The second wife's face lit up when she heard this. Although her family was not as prominent as the Xie family, it was also a family of scholars. Her uncle had run the Maoshan Academy, which had produced a second-place scholar.
"But Maoshan isn't in the capital, it's quite remote. Are you willing to let such a young boy stay there?"
Of course she was willing to go, the farther the better, and she would take him with her in a month.
"What's there for a boy to be afraid of? He should have been independent long ago. As long as Ajin can become a successful person, I will naturally be willing to help him. I only ask Second Madam to help me this time."
The Second Madam had no reason to refuse such a trivial matter, so she casually agreed: "Well, I'll arrange it."
Wan Ruo bowed happily upon hearing this: "Thank you, Second Madam."
Coming out of Yingyue Pavilion, Su Yue couldn't help but ask, "Miss, if you send the young master to Maoshan Academy, won't that still be under the control of the Xie family? The Second Madam is also a member of the Xie family after all. If the eldest master gives the order later, she will definitely detain the young master."
"Second Madam is smart. If Xie Xianyu gives the order, she certainly won't help me to oppose him. But what if she uses Qi Ge'er's safety as a bargaining chip?"
Su Yue was startled: "What?"
Wan Ruo's eyes hardened a little: "This past month, I've been the one giving Qi Ge'er medicine. Second Madam was cautious and asked me for the formula a long time ago, but I forgot to write down one ingredient. Even for the sake of the prescription, she had to help me to the end."
At the hour of You, the green bamboos appeared.
"The eldest son asked the young lady to go to Songhe Garden to learn the zither."
Wanruo's brows knitted together: "I'm still sick."
Cuizhu said the same thing, but the young master looked unhappy, so she didn't even dare to wait for him to speak before running out to ask for help.
She laughed twice and said, "It's warm in Songhe Garden, come on, young lady."
Wanruo had no choice but to ask Dingdong to take care of her Ajin and left.
Arriving at Songhe Garden and entering the study in the waterside pavilion, Wanruo immediately sensed an unusually cold atmosphere.
Xie Xianyu sat in front of the zither table, his long fingers casually plucking the strings. The broad-minded song "The Return" was accompanied by a subtle edge.
When she came in, he stroked the strings of the zither, stopped playing, and looked up at her: "Come here."
Wanruo walked across the door slowly.
"How's your piano practice going these days?" he asked her.
