"Madam, the eldest son and the young master have been going to the Lu Mansion as usual these past two days without fail after breakfast," said Nanny Wu.
Mrs. Meng Wei smiled and said, "I wish they could just live in the Lu Mansion and not come back, so they can enjoy the nobility of the Su and Lu families."
Meng Wei believed in Master Ci'en's words without a doubt.
"How's the Song family doing?"
Nanny Wu said, "The Song family came to apologize that night, and they are honest people. Now the Song family often goes to take care of their business, so I don't think anything serious will happen."
Mrs. Meng Wei frowned: "If this matter doesn't happen in the Song family, then it must happen in our Meng family?"
"Old Madam, aren't you talking about a family related to Qian'er's mother? If it's not the Song family, then it's his mother's maternal grandparents. It definitely can't be our Meng family. If it was our Meng Mansion's Master Ci'en, he would have pointed it out."
Meng Wei thought it made sense. Master Ci'en had known the eldest master since he was young. If the Meng family really encountered a disaster, he would speak out and help find a way to resolve it.
"Madam Wu, you're right. As long as Qian'er is fine, that's all that matters. I've already informed the Song family. Let's just take it one step at a time."

"Madam, the father and son of the Meng family left the Lu Mansion and went directly back to the Meng Mansion these past two days. They didn't see anyone during that time."
Xiao Lingyu pondered for a moment, "Su Yun, keep watching, you'll find something in a few days."
For the next three days, the father and son of the Meng family continued to go back and forth between the two places. They would go to Lu Mansion at noon, have lunch and drink their fill before returning to Meng Mansion.
Early that morning, Meng Zihe stopped the father and son.
"Brother, I want to go to Lu Mansion too."
Meng Zilu said, "I'm going there to accompany my child. You're not married and don't have children, so what are you going there for? Are you going there to eat for free?"
Meng Zihe smiled and said, "I just took the provincial examination and annotated the Analects. I can help the children with their studies, don't you think?"
Meng Zilu was about to say that he could do it too, but thinking that he had never participated in the provincial examination, he felt a little insecure. "Okay, then, just follow me. When we get to the Lu Mansion, don't look around or talk nonsense."
"I understand, big brother. I promise not to look around or talk nonsense. But I will go to the Lu Mansion with you every day from now on..."

"Second Miss, your handwriting is getting more and more beautiful."
Lu Yao said, "Nuanyu, there is a ready-made copybook of Mr. Yinzhang's calligraphy that I can copy. Without it, I would have to practice for a long time and might not even be able to write it right."
Nuan Yu said, "The Lu family's father and son are here at this hour. Do you want to go over and listen, and then practice calligraphy with them?"
Lu Yao glanced at the words she was writing. "The female teacher will be coming to give me lessons tomorrow, so I won't be there today. After I finish writing, I'll send them some cakes and nuts..."

"Zihe, I'm so sorry for taking the trouble to come to Lu Mansion and teach the children during the announcement of the results. I feel relieved to have you teaching them how to read and write. I think they will easily pass the exam and become Tongsheng next spring."
Meng Zihe came to us on his own initiative. It would be a waste not to make use of such an outstanding student.
Xiao Lingyu added, "Of course, you don't teach the children for nothing. I'll provide you with a hearty lunch every day. What do you think?"
"Madam Su, now that the provincial examination is over, I have time to teach my child."
Meng Zihe had another purpose in mind. He was worried that he had no reasonable excuse to come to Lu Mansion often, but now he had a legitimate reason.
"Well, children, from today on, Uncle Zihe will teach you your lessons. Mother will make you something delicious. You must be obedient."
"Mother, we will be obedient."
Xiao Lingyu peeked at the door for a moment, and when he saw that the children were listening attentively, he turned and left.
Back at Fanghua Garden, Su Xingyi held a large box and placed it in front of Xiao Lingyu. "Xiaoyu, I've exchanged the money I earned from selling the fragrant dew for silver notes with a face value of 1,000 taels. I've counted them, can you count them again?"
"No need. I'll leave this big box of banknotes to you to hide first. I'll hide them again after we return to the village."
"Xiao Yu, can you do magic?"
Xiao Lingyu was filled with questions. "I can perform magic tricks? How can you say that?"
Every time Su Xingyi moved a large box of banknotes into Xiao Lingyu's big room, he would move another large box of banknotes in, and the large box that was moved in earlier would disappear without a trace.
The only place to hide things in old or new houses is under the bed.
There were four large boxes under the bed in Xiaoyu's room, and they were all full. This was because she had sold the perfume more than four times.
Su Xingyi explained his thoughts to Xiao Lingyu in detail.
Xiao Lingyu:!!!!!!
Look, Su Xingyi began to realize that something was wrong with her.
Her secret will be discovered by Su Xing sooner or later.
She was still careless!
Just because you can fool the children doesn’t necessarily mean you can fool Su Xingyi!
Xiao Lingyu looked at Su Xingyi's chest. The reason she could enter and exit the space freely was because of the lotus-shaped birthmark on Su Xingyi's chest.
It’s okay to tell him, but not now!
At least wait until the day when we can be honest with each other before telling him,
Xiao Lingyu approached and touched his chest. "You can understand it this way. I'm good at hiding things. If I hide them, it's as if I didn't hide them. Especially money. I hide it very secretly. No one can find it. You are my husband. When the time comes, I will tell you where I hide it. That is..."
"What is it?" Su Xingyi pressed Xiao Lingyu's small hand tightly against his chest.
"When you know where the money is hidden, don't be afraid."
"I can't! Let me guess, you used magic tricks to hide all the money in Wufeng Mountain?"
Xiao Lingyu: ...
