Kang Ge is the only relative she has left in this world.
Now Kang Ge is trapped in the manor, while she is in the marquis's mansion and cannot reach him.
She couldn't even ask to leave the house, and was even worse than a servant who could be sold. With a mother like her, Kang Ge must be very disappointed, right?
"You're right. I shouldn't have let myself fall like this."
Xiao Tao hit the nail on the head. As long as she stayed in the Marquis' Mansion, she could only rely on Lu Jing.
If she wanted to see her son, it all depended on Lu Jing's words.
Although she was unwilling to admit it, reality did not give her a chance to escape.
"The Marquis has returned? He went to Concubine Liu's place again?" There was light in Fang Rou's eyes again, but instead of love, there was desolation.
Since men can treat women as pets that can be replaced at will, why can't she do the opposite?
If Lu Jing's favor can bring her what she wants, why not use it?
Xiao Tao happily replied, "My aunt, the Marquis went to Concubine Liu's place as soon as he returned home, and he hasn't come out yet!"
Fang Rou smiled slowly. She asked Xiao Tao to dress her up and specially chose Lu Jing's favorite hair accessories. "I heard that Concubine Liu has caught a cold. As sisters, I should go and visit her."
The person in the mirror looked tired, but thanks to Xiaotao's excellent craftsmanship, Fang Rou, after being dressed up, did not look at all decadent.
She nodded at Xiaotao and said, "Your cooking skills are quite good."
"As long as Auntie likes it!"
Xiao Tao's heart climbed out of the trough. She had known since she was a child that she would be a servant for the rest of her life. Her greatest wish was to be by the side of a favored master and experience the feeling of prosperity for all.
So she studied diligently, becoming a master of hairdressing and braiding, and even mastering embroidery, ready to charge into battle for her master at any moment!
Just as Xiao Tao was leading Fang Rou towards Liu Lu with full fighting spirit, Shen Ruoyan was busy with other things.
"Cousin, what do you think?"
Qin Shaobei lives in the mansion, and such good resources must not be wasted.
Although Shen Ruoyan said that she would not disturb him from preparing for the exam, Qin Shaobei himself suggested that he should see how her two sons were doing.
In this case, Shen Ruoyan had no choice but to obey.
Qin Shaobei's eyes fixed on the children. Lu Changchuan swallowed nervously. Even Lu Yan couldn't help but straighten his back, not daring to slack off for a moment.
This cousin looks careless, but when he was checking their homework just now, he pointed out the mistakes very accurately and every sentence was on point.
People dare not underestimate it.
"Pei Rushi, are you hiding something?" Qin Shaobei teased. If the child's studies are not good, it must be the teacher's fault!
He looked Pei Rushi up and down, and clicked his tongue twice. "Did my cousin not pay you enough? Or did these two children make you unhappy and hold a grudge? Otherwise, these are not people you should be able to teach..."
Qin Shaobei and Pei Rushi are old acquaintances. They are both good friends and bad friends.
Faced with Qin Shaobei's ridiculous words, Pei Rushi didn't take them to heart at all and just thought he was talking nonsense!
But the two children took it seriously.
"No, cousin, it's because we didn't learn well. It has nothing to do with the teacher!" Lu Changchuan spoke anxiously to defend Pei Rushi.
Although Master Pei was usually very strict with them, and sometimes even forbade them to eat if they didn't finish their homework, their handwriting improved day by day, and they knew more and more characters.
Even Lu Changchuan can now write some simple poems, which shows how much effort Pei Ru has spent on them.
"Cousin, please stop joking. Look at the two kids, how scared they are by you?" Shen Ruoyan said dissatisfiedly, having seen through Qin Shaobei's thoughts long ago. This guy is never serious.
Qin Shaobei took a look and saw that, indeed, Lu Changchuan was anxious, and even Lu Yan was writing furiously. The four big characters were concise and to the point -
"Master is very good!"
He laughed heartily, "Pei Rushi, I never thought that one day you would be able to please a child!"
In the past, Pei Rushi was extremely talented and gifted. When he was in Xuzhou, many families wanted Pei Rushi to help teach their children.
But Pei Rushi was a very stubborn person. No matter if you were a king or a beggar, as long as you were under his command, you had to follow his rules.
His lectures are not humorous, and are even a bit rigid and serious. He will not be soft-hearted with children and will do things his way.
There was a time when the children in Xuzhou were so scared that they burst into tears when they saw him!
Qin Shaobei found it strange to see a child come forward to defend him. However, this also proved that Pei Ru was very sincere to these two children.
"You are still so noisy." Pei Rushi looked helpless. After hearing the news that Qin Shaobei was coming, he knew that this man would never stop.
Sure enough, even when he arrived at the Marquis' Mansion, he would not restrain himself.
"It's just a joke. Master Pei, you wouldn't be so stingy, right?" Qin Shaobei smiled and patted his shoulder, acting like good brothers again.
Lu Changchuan and Lu Yan looked at each other and sighed in tacit understanding:
"My Lord is so complicated!"
However, after Qin Shaobei looked at their homework, he let Shen Ruoyan rest assured. Although the two children had their own strengths, they both had a solid foundation, and coupled with their hard work, they learned better than the average child.
Hearing him say this, Shen Ruoyan felt relieved.
As the saying goes, different people are born with different minds. I was worried that Pei Rushi’s strictness might make the two children become like Kang Ge, and resent him.
But judging from what happened just now, it was obvious that she was worrying too much.
Some people just don't know how to be grateful. No matter how good you are to them, they will only remember the times when you were not good to them.
But for some people, even if you are nice to them only once, they will remember it for a lifetime!
"In that case, I'll have to trouble my cousin later." Shen Ruoyan smiled cunningly. If there is no problem with the child, then it's time to take the time to deal with the older one.
She doesn't care how the concubines fight.
Because she has more important things to do!
"Didn't you say that I could concentrate on preparing for the exam?" Qin Shaobei raised his eyebrows, unhappy.
Before Shen Ruoyan could say anything, Pei Rushi sarcastically said, "You won't pass the exam if you don't prepare? Then you are nothing more than that."
"Hey! Pei Rushi, are you holding a grudge against me just now? I just teased you for a little while, why are you still so petty as before?"
Shen Ruoyan smiled and stood up, saying quietly, "Since my cousin wants to concentrate on preparing for the exam, it seems that my cousin won't be able to enjoy the jar of peach wine in the cellar."
Qin Shaobei, who loves wine like his life, couldn't bear to hear this.
"No! I'll help, I can help!"
He silently prayed for Lu Jing in his heart - it was all the fault of the peach blossom wine. If it hadn't been so delicious, he wouldn't have accepted the bribe.
Cheap brother-in-law, don’t blame him in the future...
