"Brother Kang, why are you here?"
Fang Rou looked around and luckily there was no one there. She quickly pulled her son in and hurriedly closed the door.
"Isn't it time to study now? Why are you here?"
Fang Rou spoke anxiously, pulling Lu Ankang to look left and right, and suddenly glared at him, "Did the prince bring that idiot to bully you again?!"
Lu Ankang shook his head, feeling so aggrieved that tears welled up in his eyes. "No, it's just that I don't want to go to school anymore."
He pulled Fang Rou and said pitifully, "Mom, studying is so tiring. Can I stop studying? Can you go talk to Dad?"
Before coming to the Marquis' Mansion, Fang Rou was able to convince Lu Jing to do anything he wanted to do, so that he would have no worries.
But now, when Fang Rou heard him say that he didn't want to study, she became angry:
"How can you not study?! You're going to be the crown prince in the future. If you don't study, how are you going to make it in life?!"
Lu Ankang timidly took a few steps back, his eyes filled with fear: "Mom, what are you talking about?"
Studying is so tiring, he really doesn't want to read.
He is unhappy, doesn’t his mother know?
Perhaps she had finally come to her senses, Fang Rou lowered her voice, took his hand and said, "Brother Kang, you will be the heir of the Marquis' Mansion from now on. You can't be so willful anymore."
All her hopes are on her son. So what if she is the mistress of a marquisate or a favorite concubine?
The most important thing is whose son can inherit the Marquis' Mansion in the future!
No matter how good Shen Ruoyan's family background is, when the children grow up, she can rely on her sons to gain fame. But what about Shen Ruoyan? Is she relying on her mute son to bring honor to her?
Therefore, Fang Rou placed all her hopes on Lu Ankang, and she accepted it even if the old lady did not allow her to see her son.
As long as her son is with the old lady and can receive good education, then it is worth it for her to endure humiliation in the Marquis' Mansion!
So, how can Brother Kang not study?
Fang Rou felt that Lu Ankang was just a child, and she patiently comforted him, "Brother Kang, be good. You must not only study, but also study better than everyone else. Only in this way can you and your mother live a good life in this mansion."
She hugged her son with heartache, but she didn't notice that Lu Ankang's body had become stiff.
Finally, when the servant and the doctor hurried over, Lu Ankang was already standing there safely.
Although he was just a child, he had a look colder than anyone else's:
"I'm ready now, let's go."
Servant: ...
Sometimes I feel helpless.
But who made this annoying kid his master?
After sending the doctor away with a smile, the servant carried Lu Ankang's school bag and walked beside him.
When I arrived at the academy, I happened to meet Lu Yan and Lu Changchuan who also arrived late.
Shen Ruoyan pulled the two children behind him and apologized to Master Pei:
"Master Pei, I'm so sorry. This is all my fault. When the children came to pay their respects, I stayed a little longer. I didn't expect to be late."
Chunxi stepped forward and handed over a food box with a smile: "The weather is getting warmer. This is the tea and snacks that the prince and Master Changchuan prepared for the master."
Lu Changchuan said loudly: "Master, this tea was picked by the prince and I last time we went out!"
Pei Rushi didn't get angry and took it, saying, "That's thoughtful."
Master Song just came out and saw this. He snorted coldly, "Why are you late again?"
Lu Ankang was startled. The servant beside him quickly stepped forward and replied:
"Master, please don't blame me. I had a stomachache on the way here, so I'm a little late."
The people next to him walked in laughing and jokingly, but Lu Ankang followed Master Song deafly, his big eyes full of resentment.
Looking at the teacher's attitude, he will definitely be punished by having him write again later...
He was feeling depressed when he heard Shen Ruoyan telling the servant next to him:
"I asked someone to make their favorite snacks. I'll let them come out and have some during the break."
Then he smiled and said to Chunxi, "You should study, but you can't be too strenuous. I'll talk to the teacher someday. It's better to combine work and rest."
Lu Ankang stopped abruptly, beginning to doubt his life.
It is said that the mistress comes from a scholarly family and places the greatest importance on her children's education.
But even she knows that children should enjoy reading, so why doesn’t her own mother understand this?
At this moment, Lu Ankang had deep doubts about whether Fang Rou loved him.
And the old lady who forced him to study no longer liked him as much as before.
What Lu Ankang didn’t know was that after his figure disappeared, the snacks he gave to the servant were taken back by Shen Ruoyan.
"Put it away quickly. If Master Pei sees it, he'll accuse me of spoiling the child."
Chun Xi suppressed her laughter and followed behind, "Madam, don't worry, our people are very honest and would not dare to break Master Pei's rules."
Every time Lu Yan and Lu Changchuan entered the academy, what awaited them was Pei Rushi's devilish teaching.
Not to mention writing and reading, you even have to sit in a horse stance while reading. If your voice shakes, you have to start over again!
But Lu Ankang couldn't see these. All he saw was Shen Ruoyan's obvious connivance.
"Although Master Pei is a bit strict, the two children have indeed made great progress in this period of time."
Shen Ruoyan smiled and said, "Leave the snacks here and send them over after class."
Combining work and rest does not necessarily mean letting them be lazy and enjoy themselves. It only requires giving them rewards after they have made efforts.
After all, he is a child, so you still have to give him the sweet dates he deserves, otherwise there might be something wrong with his heart.
Just like Lu Ankang...
"Brother Kang, how was your study today?"
Every day when she came back, Mrs. Lu would ask about her children’s studies.
In the past, Lu Ankang would just brush it off, but today he rolled his eyes and took the initiative to step forward and say:
"Great-grandmother, Master Song taught me, but Brother Kang doesn't quite understand. Can I go learn from Master Pei?"
He blinked and said innocently, "I heard that the prince's handwriting was praised again. Even Lu Changchuan can recite it. Great-grandmother, is it that Master Pei will teach better?"
"This..." Old Madam Lu hesitated. She was very pleased that Brother Kang could be compared with others.
But is Pei Rushi really better than Master Song?
Aunt Xue: "Madam, this Master Song is a famous master in Shengjing. Other families can't invite him even if they search with lanterns!"
Although Master Song had a bad temper, he was actually talented and knowledgeable, but he was not very popular with children.
Old Madam Lu also thought this was true. They didn't know Pei Rushi's background very well, and she was too young.
"Brother Kang, be good. Master Song is the best. You just haven't gotten used to it yet. Once you get used to it, everything will be fine."
Lu Ankang lowered his head and said nothing. Old Madam Lu was a little depressed and didn't take it seriously.
Who knew that something unexpected would happen not long after!
