Chapter 179 Sent to Private School



After coming out of the secluded residence in the bamboo forest, Jiang Muyu got on the palace's carriage. The sky was gloomy and the wind made the carriage curtains rustle.

It looks like it's going to rain.

She ordered the coachman to speed up.

Fortunately, she finally rushed back to Qingyu Courtyard before the raindrops fell from the sky.

The maids were busy collecting the flower petals and herbs that she had dried in the yard.

She stood under the porch, looked up at the sky, and couldn't help but sigh: "It was a clear sky when I went out today. No wonder they say that the weather is unpredictable."

Yunyan said at the side: "My lady, the phrase 'unpredictable weather' is not used to refer to the weather."

"I know." She gave Yunyan a reproachful look and said, "Can't you just let me pretend when I'm being literary once in a while?"

Yun Yan curled her lips slightly: "It is my fault for being rude."

Jiang Muyu saw that everything in the yard had been put into the side room, then he turned back to the main room and asked casually, "Did the teacher scold Tangtang today?"

Yunyan replied: "The little princess did not finish the homework assigned by the teacher yesterday."

The implication is that he was reprimanded.

Jiang Muyu had expected this and smiled helplessly: "Look at this child, how come she is totally different from her brother? She is almost six years old now. Before, I was afraid that she would not adapt well and I did not dare to restrict her too much because she was just beginning to learn. But now, she is even more unrestrained and has had three teachers."

"The little princess is still young, and she will be fine once she settles down." Yun Yan poured her a cup of tea and said with a smile, "I think the princess's lively personality is quite similar to yours, Madam."

"Really?" Her eyebrows jumped. "Is there anyone as reckless as her before?"

As she spoke, she put down the teacup she had just picked up.

"No, I have to go and see it myself."

She suddenly stood up and walked out.

"Hey, my queen, it's still raining outside." Yun Yan immediately picked up the oil-paper umbrella on the shelf and chased after her.

Jiang Muyu rushed to Tangxing Courtyard in a hurry, but stopped outside the house.

The maid guarding outside the door saw that she was about to salute but was stopped by her. She put her finger to her lips to signal them to be quiet, and then waved her hand.

The two maids bowed to her and retreated without saying a word.

Jiang Muyu walked around to the open window of the side study, put his hands on the window sill, and quietly poked his head inside.

Seeing this, Yunyan could only squat quietly beside her. It was strange, this was the first time she saw her mother visiting her daughter in secret.

It's like a teacher secretly checking on a student who is not concentrating on his studies, just waiting to pull his braid.

Jiang Muyu's eyes looked inside.

I saw Tangtang sitting behind the table by the window, with one hand resting on a wrinkled book and the other supporting her little face. Her head was shaking and her eyelids were rising and falling. After several struggles, she finally settled down. Dripping began to fall from the corner of her mouth and drip onto the book at hand.

The teacher over there was still immersed in his lecture, but she didn't know whether she was dreaming about roast chicken or roast goose.

"Liang, Jing, Tang!" Jiang Muyu yelled word by word.

She stood up suddenly, but forgot that she was squatting under the propped window, and her head hit the window board, causing the wood supporting the window to fall off. Fortunately, Yunyan reacted in time and supported the falling window board with her hands, so she was not pinched.

She was so shocked that she saw stars and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, she was quick to grab the window sill and hold on to her body.

Tangtang had already been awakened by her roar. She was so frightened that she shuddered, her back felt cold, and she felt like she was out of her mind.

Jiang Muyu slowed down and managed to calm himself down. Fortunately, he still had some rationality and did not climb in directly through the window.

She walked quickly around the house, opened the door and walked in.

When Tangtang saw her coming, she immediately became frightened and looked at her with her big round eyes: "Mom...you...you scared me to death..."

Jiang Muyu almost laughed at her anger. She pointed at the teacher who was also frightened and silent, and said, "How did I teach you to respect others? Even if you don't like to study, you should at least show some attitude! The teacher is talking at the top, his mouth is dry and his mouth is dry, and you are daydreaming and sleeping soundly below! Is this justifiable? Huh?"

Tangtang swallowed hard and said timidly, "I fell asleep because I stayed up too late yesterday to finish my classes and didn't sleep well."

"Don't think I don't know that you haven't finished your teacher's homework. Are you making jokes while doing your homework again?"

"I..." She lowered her head with a guilty conscience, her voice getting smaller and smaller: "It's just that the teacher assigned too many homework assignments..."

Jiang Muyu still doesn’t understand what kind of person she is?

He is a flatterer in front of people, but playful and willful behind their backs. He is the one who is good at coaxing people with his mouth.

It was fine before Nanxing was around to control her. But now that Nanxing has gone to study at Qingyuanzhai (one of the best academies in the capital), she has become even more reckless.

It is said that human puppies between six and eight years old are the age at which dogs dislike humans, and this is indeed true.

Jiang Muyu crossed his arms and looked at her, saying, "Whether you like it or not, you must go to my private school from now on, or you will be lawless when you see that the teacher can't do anything to you."

"Ah? Going to private school again..." Tangtang's face fell again and again.

She really didn't want to go to a private school. Not only were there too many people and too many gossips, but the teachers there were also very meddling. Even getting up without making up the quilt would result in a scolding.

She had been sent to a private school before, but she only stayed there for three days before returning.

She cried and complained that the teacher punished her by making her copy the text until her hands were sore. Jiang Muyu took into account her young age and invited a teacher to come to her home according to her personality.

Unexpectedly, she became more and more unruly. She didn't study hard and didn't do her homework well. Moreover, given her status and the fact that this place was in the palace, the teachers didn't dare to scold her loudly, let alone punish her. All the day-long persuasion was in vain. The two previous teachers were so angry that they called it a sin and resigned.

Jiang Muyu would not allow her to refuse this time, and directly ordered: "Yunyan, when Yunniao comes back, tell her to pack her things and go to the private school with the princess tomorrow."

Yun Niao was the study partner that Jiang Muyu had found for Tangtang earlier. She was a concubine's daughter from the Jiang family's side branch. Her mother died early and she was not favored. She lived a life no different from that of a maid in the mansion.

Jiang Muyu met her by chance, and seeing that she looked pitiful and was about the same age as Tangtang, he took her back to the palace to have her as a study companion.

The character "Yun" is a common character used by maids in Prince Rui's mansion. Yun Niao was not called this name before she entered the mansion. She asked to use this character herself, and the character "Niao" was found for her by Tangtang, who told her not to go back after leaving that prison cage.

Yun Niao went back home for something a few days ago, and it’s time for him to come back today.

Tangtang had a tearful face but didn't dare to bargain anymore.

She was not stupid. Her mother was angry right now, and she was the one who caused it. If she said more, she would only be adding insult to injury.

So, Tangtang was sent to a private school unwillingly the next day.

Jiang Muyu was not completely cruel enough, and he personally sent her to the private school and explained many things to the teacher before finally leaving.

Sitting in the carriage on the way back, she suddenly felt a little melancholy: "Alas - the child has grown up after all."

Yunyan gently covered her hand and said soothingly, "Don't worry, madam. The princess will understand your good intentions in the future."
