"Master, Wanqing is still young."
Watching her daughter being dragged away, Zhao Yaru wiped away her tears with heartache.
"You're still crying? Isn't it all because of you?"
"How can you say I spoiled her? Master, don't you love her anymore?"
Xu Maocai sighed, looking quite dejected. "How could I not love her? From childhood to adulthood, I held her in my hands for fear of dropping her, and held her in my mouth for fear of her melting."
"We're all daughters. Have you ever looked Wanyan in the eye? But, Wanqing... I'm so disappointed."
Zhao Yaru was anxious. "Maocai, don't be angry with Wanqing. She is still young and has been bewitched by Lu Mingxuan. I will definitely persuade her."
When Lu Mingxuan was mentioned, a dangerous light flashed in Xu Maocai's eyes.
"Please persuade her to marry the Crown Prince. Otherwise... she must marry into Prince Chen's mansion."
Zhao Yaru nodded quickly, "Master, I know, I will definitely persuade her. As for Prince Chen's Mansion, Wanyan... is quite suitable."
Xu Maocai glanced at Zhao Yaru, and after a moment, he spoke: "Tomorrow, find a teacher and let Wanyan take classes."
Zhao Yaru was shocked and angry, crying, "Master, why is this happening? Wanqing, don't you love her anymore? Do you love the child that woman gave birth to? Have you forgotten that Su Feng forced you to not even want to go home?"
"Now, you regret it, don't you? You dislike me and Wanqing, don't you?"
Zhao Yaru's crying gave Xu Maocai a headache. He looked at the woman who had been with him for so many years, and in the end he couldn't bear to see her tears.
He walked up to her, hugged her, and whispered softly, "What nonsense are you talking about? How could I not love you and Wanqing?"
"It's all because of Wanqing, you've been talking nonsense outside. This morning at the court, the censor next door reported me, saying that the Xu family's second daughter is illiterate and that the Xu family deliberately didn't let her learn."
"What does the Emperor value most? Isn't it literature? The Emperor believes in governing the country through culture. Tell me, what else can we do if we don't find her a husband?"
After hearing this, Zhao Yaru realized that it was Xu Wanqing who caused the trouble.
She couldn't help but blame her daughter for being a little stupid. Not only did she ruin the reputation of both mother and daughter, but she also let that bitch take advantage of her.
"Master, Wanqing is wrong in this matter. I will talk to her in a good way."
"As for Wanyan, don't worry. I will find a teacher to teach her. If she doesn't take it seriously, I will let the teacher punish her."
Xu Maocai nodded approvingly, "I knew my wife was a sensible person."
"Of course, for you, my husband, I am willing to do anything."
After saying that, Zhao Yaru leaned shyly in Xu Maocai's arms.
When her hand touched his neck, Xu Maocai felt a surge of love and went into the inner room with Zhao Yaru in his arms.

"Miss, it's time to take your medicine."
"More food?"
After taking medicine for three days, Xu Wanyan was finally able to get out of bed.
Whenever she thought of the thief that night, she wished she could meet him again and beat him up.
The hard-to-swallow medicine I have to drink every day is all thanks to him.
"Of course I have to drink it. The doctor said I have to drink it for five days."
Xu Wanyan had no choice but to take the bowl of medicine, drink it with a bitter face, and her pretty face wrinkled.
"Miss, have some candied fruit."
Xu Wanyan nodded, put one in her mouth, and finally felt much more comfortable.
"What happened in the mansion recently?"
Xichun glanced outside the door and whispered, "The eldest lady is under house arrest."
"Why?"
"It's related to the recent rumors. The master knows about it, so..."
"Sister Xichun, what are these rumors?" Qiao Yun pretended to know nothing.
"The eldest lady has a lover outside."
After saying this, Xichun lowered her head almost to the ground.
"What? Lover?" Qiao Yun pretended to be surprised, but her eyes were full of smiles.
"Qiao Yun, keep your voice down."
"Oh, okay, I was just too surprised."
Xichun didn't say a word, and all the maids in Mingzhu Garden were dealt with.
Because she became the lady's spy, she ended up slipping through the net.
"Well, this time in Mingzhuyuan... a lot of people got punished, right?"
Xu Wanyan looked at Xichun with a smile.
"Miss, you guessed right. Qingping was beaten with fifteen sticks and is still unable to get out of bed. The others were also punished."
"What about you? Didn't the lady say anything?"
"I insisted that I knew nothing about this matter. Plus, I have to report the situation here every day, so I escaped."
"That's good. You can't do anything about the mistakes made by the master."
"What are her recent plans?"
Xichun hesitated for a moment and knelt down.
"Xichun?"
Xu Wanyan and Qiao Yun were surprised by her behavior.
"Second Miss, I didn't tell you that Madam asked me to give you medicine."
Xu Wanyan remained calm. Since Xichun could confess, it meant that she didn't do it.
However, she was curious about what medicine she was going to give.
Seeing that the second young lady's expression didn't change at all, Xichun couldn't help but feel fortunate that she had no other thoughts.
Otherwise, she really is no match for the Second Young Lady.
"What medicine?"
"Infertility Soup."
When these words were spoken, Qiao Yun took a deep breath.
"Madam, she is so vicious."
Xu Wanyan just smiled. If she wasn't still useful, Zhao Yaru might have killed her long ago.
Now, it's just an appetizer.
"Miss, aren't you afraid?"
Why is there no reaction at all?
"Afraid, is it useful to be afraid?"
Yes, is it useful to be afraid? Qiao Yun stopped talking.
"Miss, she's no worse than us."
After saying that, she took out a medicine bag.
Qiao Yun took it and handed it to Xu Wanyan.
