Next, Zuan and Chu Huanzhao went to the academy together.
"Brother-in-law, do you think my sister will succeed this time?"
"Don't worry, it will definitely work."
"Brother-in-law, do you think the Chu family can overcome this difficulty?"
"able."
"Brother-in-law, will you always stay with us?"
"meeting."
...
Hearing the faint conversation between the two, the guards behind them sighed inwardly: the second young lady's attachment to her son-in-law is growing deeper and deeper.
Cheng Shouping, standing to the side, proudly brought up the bet again, urging everyone to settle the bill: "The madam just said that sometimes the second young lady might live in the academy with her son-in-law and not go home, and told us not to make a fuss. Doesn't that prove anything?"
"What does this prove? Now that the master is in trouble, what's wrong with letting the second young lady stay at the academy for her safety?" said guard Zhou Lujun.
"You don't know anything! The Second Miss doesn't have a dormitory at the academy, so where can she live? She can only stay in the young master's classroom dormitory." Cheng Shouping chuckled. "I heard that the academy's classrooms and dormitories are self-contained spaces. Once the door is closed, no one outside can break in. So, the two of them, a lone man and a woman, can do whatever they want inside without anyone outside knowing. Madam knows all this, yet she still agrees to let the Second Miss live there. Doesn't that mean Madam has already..."
Guard Feng Daniu scratched his head: "Now that you mention it, it's true."
Jiao Shanhe slapped him: "That's bullshit. As long as they don't get married, we won't lose."
"That would take forever," Cheng Shouping said, dissatisfied.
Jiao Shanhe pondered, "We don't have to get married formally, but an engagement or something is fine too."
Cheng Shouping asked, "Would it be alright if we cooked the raw rice into cooked rice?"
The others looked at him with strange eyes. This guy was so reckless; no wonder he was relegated to the kitchen earlier.
After sending Chu Huan to the classroom, Zu An went directly to find Zheng Dan.
Given the current state of the Chu family, there's really no need for him to waste time at the academy.
The reason he came here was because he had thought of another way to resolve the Chu family's predicament.
He didn't want to put all the pressure on Chu Chuyan, and he wanted to share some of the burden with her.
When they arrived at the top-tier class, there were already quite a few students inside, but Zu An didn't care about anything else and went straight to Zheng Dan, gesturing for her to come outside and chat.
To everyone's surprise, Zheng Dan remained seated without moving, and smiled slightly: "Teacher Zu, I am engaged. You come to see me every now and then, shouldn't you at least try to avoid suspicion?"
Zuan: "..."
Is this girl putting on an act with him?
Not far away, Wu Qing mocked, "Oh my, isn't this Miss Chu's husband? Why is he always running around looking for other people's fiancées? Is it because Miss Chu hasn't managed things well, or is it because the Chu family has poor discipline?"
