When Marquis Xuanping saw An Xin's unquestionable look, he knew there was no room for negotiation. His eyes flickered and he looked at his wife, daughter and son guiltily.

"Madam, why don't you give this opportunity to..."

Under the gaze of the marquis' wife's beautiful eyes, the gentle Marquis Xuanping swallowed his saliva. An Rui took a look at the little girl with soft eyebrows and a little inferiority, and a trace of pity flashed in his eyes.

Feng Lingyun felt sorry for her brother at this time and her eyes turned red at her father's biased treatment.

Feng Yuxiu lowered his head expressionlessly. He knew that because his cousin Lan and his cousin's parents died young, his father had always had to give in to them whenever good things happened over the years, and it seemed that this time was no exception.

Although he was somewhat uneducated, he knew the importance of studying under a good teacher.

Take Yuchi Yi, for example, who was a few years older than him and was a little bully who once ran rampant in the capital and was hated by everyone.

I heard that they were taken out for training under teacher An Xin for several years. Now it is reported that he and two others were very good at arranging troops and formations in the trial in the camp outside Beijing.

Even those generals who had led troops in the army were badly tricked by them and suffered defeat.

I'm just a bit confused, but I'm not stupid.

Feng Yuxiu stood up and walked silently to An Xin, pulled her sleeve, and looked at her pitifully.

An Xin looked at the boy who looked like an abandoned puppy.

He then came face to face with Madam Hou and her daughter Feng Lingyun, two delicate beauties, one big and one small, who looked at him intently.

An Xin, unable to bear the beauty's sadness, sighed.

He said to the hesitant and embarrassed Marquis Xuanping: "I don't accept everyone as my disciple.

If I remember correctly, Feng Yuxiu and your nephew Meng Yutao are both studying at the Imperial College, and the quarterly exams of the Imperial College are just over two months away.

Whoever does better in the exam this time will be accepted as my student. What do you think, Lord?"

An Xin's proposal made Marquis Xuanping's eyes light up.

One is his nephew, and the other is his own son. Marquis Xuanping must have felt guilty for letting his own children give in to his two nephews.

Every time they made a request to him, Marquis Xuanping could not bear to refuse them as their uncle, as both Meng Yulan and Meng Yutao had lost their parents.

But how could he not know that doing so would be unfair to his wife and children?

But every time he wanted to reject Meng Yulan and her brother, they would look at him with tears in their eyes, which really made the soft-hearted Marquis Xuanping feel embarrassed, but in the end he would still do as they wished.

This time, An Xin proposed such a solution, so he didn't have to be in a dilemma anymore. The old man Xuanping Hou looked at An Xin with gratitude.

He said quickly, "An Jijiu is right. Someone of your status and knowledge cannot accept someone with mediocre qualifications.

I'll do as you say. Whoever does better between Xiu'er and Tao'er in the exam will be accepted as a student by the Lord Jijiu."

"Uncle!" Meng Yulan looked at Marquis Xuanping in disbelief.

In the past, whenever the siblings had a request, their uncle Xuanping Hou would always agree. Why was it that this time, when it was such an important matter to his own brother, the uncle Xuanping Hou did not fight for his brother and make the matter final?

Meng Yulan's eyes were filled with tears, and she thought darkly in her heart that after all, he was not her biological father, but at the critical moment, she was still thinking about her biological son.

But she seemed to have completely forgotten that this opportunity was obtained by Feng Yuxiu's biological sister Feng Lingyun who saved people out of kindness, and had nothing to do with her father Xuanping Hou.

Why didn't she think that if Marquis Xuanping really gave the opportunity of becoming a disciple to his nephew Meng Yutao, it would discourage his own children.

It seemed that in Meng Yulan's heart, it was natural for her uncle, Marquis Xuanping, to be good to her and her siblings.

But they, the siblings, never cared whether Marquis Xuanping would be embarrassed or not.

An Xin patted Feng Yuxiu's hand and said softly, "I've already given you the chance. If you don't do well in the exam, don't blame others."

Feng Yuxiu, who originally had a bitter face because he knew how much knowledge he had, blushed with shame when An Xin pointed it out.

His eyes became firm, "I will definitely work hard, just wait and see and become my master."

"Then keep going," An Xin patted his shoulder and encouraged him, "I'm rooting for you."

He turned around and bowed, and under the beautiful woman's grateful eyes, he took An Rui and was warmly escorted out of the gate by the people from the Marquis Xuanping's Mansion. The two of them got on the carriage and left.

In a place where no one was paying attention, Meng Yutao looked at Feng Yuxiu with disdain and said in a contemptuous tone: "Humph! You are always at the bottom of the class in every monthly exam. You want to surpass me in the quarterly exam. This is not something you can do just because you are the young master of the Marquis' Mansion."

Meng Yutao, who believed that he was far superior to Feng Yuxiu in his studies, raised his head proudly when Feng Yuxiu raised his fist and Xuanping Hou looked back at him.

He immediately performed a Sichuan Opera face-changing trick, looking at Marquis Xuanping with a wronged yet patient look, as if he had been bullied but dared not speak out.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

Needless to say, Feng Yuxiu, who was plotted against, must have been scolded by his father.

Meng Yulan was standing by, holding her brother with tears in her eyes, as if they were often bullied in the Marquis' Mansion.

Mrs. Dai, the Marquis, looked so aggrieved that she would have kicked out these two nephews who were so dramatic, if she hadn't wanted to break up with her loving husband.

Fortunately, this time Marquis Xuanping did not completely stand on the side of his two nephews, otherwise the marquis’s wife would really like to break his head and make it into a chamber pot.

However, there were some setbacks in getting her son to become a good teacher, so the marquis' wife still let the marquis of Xuanping sleep in the study.

Dai Shi didn't want to fall out with her husband because Marquis Xuanping was indeed a little indecisive. Fortunately, he was not interested in beautiful women, and there was only one woman in the Marquis's mansion, his wife.

This is also the reason why the Dai family is willing to tolerate Meng Yulan and Meng Yutao, two ungrateful people.

An Xin returned home and took a look at his cousin who seemed to be hesitant to speak.

He picked up the tea brought by Mingyue and took a sip. He said nothing and An Xin didn't ask.

In the end, An Rui couldn't help but said, "Cousin, if Meng Yutao, who looks like he has a lot of bad intentions, wins the quarterly exam, are you really going to accept him as your student?"

An Xin took a sip of tea and replied calmly, "Why not?"

"Cousin~"

"I know you are grateful to Feng Yuxiu's biological sister for saving you," An Xin glanced at An Rui meaningfully, "You think so much, but the key is not that kid Feng Yuxiu."

"If he studies well, he will naturally be able to get good grades in the quarterly exams and surpass Meng Yutao, who is an average student but has ulterior motives and is arrogant."

A word of advice awakened An Rui, and he understood.

Feng Yuxiu then lived a life of misery.
