"Madam, I heard that the old lady is looking for Master Song. He was highly praised by the Sheng'an Marquis' Mansion before!" Chun Xi spoke up for the young master, "They are both sons of the Marquis' Mansion, but she chose to give him to that one child..."
Shen Ruoyan smiled, as the saying goes, "Misfortune may be a blessing in disguise."
Chun Xi didn't notice the faint sound of footsteps behind her and continued, "Master Song is very strict in teaching. The young master of Sheng'an Marquis's Mansion has even been spanked by him. But he taught him very well. Everyone in the mansion says that the young master has changed a lot!"
"If it were my son, I would definitely not want him to suffer this."
Shen Ruoyan slowed down his pace and chatted with Chunxi, "Since he was born in a marquis's mansion, as long as he didn't commit crimes, he would surely be able to live a life of wealth and honor. Why should he suffer the hardships of those scholars?"
"Mother!"
Lu Ankang ran out from behind the rockery, and when he saw Shen Ruoyan, he first looked at her with his big eyes flashing, and then imitated an adult and performed an unruly salute.
"Greetings to mother."
Shen Ruoyan was amused by him and stepped forward and asked, “Why is Brother Kang here?”

Lu Ankang's eyes flickered, and he suddenly covered his stomach, "I, my stomach feels uncomfortable."
"Oh?" Shen Ruoyan didn't expose him, but just asked: "Then why are you here alone? Where is the servant who followed you?"
Lu Ankang finally managed to shake off the servant. Upon hearing this, he looked panicked and stammered, unable to speak.
But Shen Ruoyan seemed not to notice, and said angrily: "These servants really need to be properly managed. They didn't even notice that the young master was lost!"
She gently took Lu Ankang's hand and said with a smile: "It's okay, mother will take you home."
Perhaps infected by her gentle attitude, Lu Ankang also grew bolder, "Mother, Kang Ge, Kang Ge doesn't want to go back."
"Why is this?" Shen Ruoyan pretended to be confused.
Lu Ankang: "Mother, the teacher is too fierce. Brother Kang doesn't want to study with him!"
Master Song was a man who dared to beat even the son of a first-rank marquis, not to mention Lu Ankang, the adopted son of the marquis. He had never suffered such hardship at such a young age, and he refused to study anymore, no matter what!
“Brother Kang has worked so hard…” Shen Ruoyan touched his head lovingly, “But, mother can’t do anything.”
"Master Song was invited by Grandmother with great difficulty. Even though he is a bit strict, it is for your own good!"
Lu Ankang lowered his head in disappointment. What good is that for him?
If it's really for his own good, why let him suffer?!
