Chapter 152: No Sound, No Regret
"Madam, do you have an elder sister?" Nangong Hua wondered.
Pu Qiongzhi shook her head. "I'm talking about Uncle's eldest sister."
"Oh, oh..." Nangong Hua reacted, "My eldest sister is working in the library and seems very happy."
"In a few days, ask the eldest and second sisters to come home for dinner."
Pu Qiongzhi nodded, "Okay. But, my eldest sister isn't that happy in the academy either."
"What happened?" Nangong Hua knew that she would not make up stories for nothing.
Pu Qiongzhi told him what happened.
"I've caused you trouble again..." Nangong Hua felt a little guilty.
"Leave this matter to me, after all, he is family." He offered.
Pu Qiongzhi refused, "It's just a small matter, why do you need your uncle to personally take action? I can do it."
"In that case, I'll accompany you tomorrow." Nangong Hua said.
Pu Qiongzhi did not refuse.
However, she also called another person——
"Pu Qiongzhi! You want to open a girls' school? What do you want me to do? I'm not going!" Ding Momo jumped off her horse. "The polo field has been very busy lately, but you, the hands-off boss, have nothing to do! I'm very busy every day! How can I have time for school?"
"Princess, don't indulge in it. It feels good to make money, but you also have to live! Don't lose sight of the big picture!" Pu Qiongzhi said with a smile.
Ding Momo's mouth twitched. "Isn't your life still about making money? How dare you say that to me?"
"Your Highness, what you said is wrong! This is a matter of people's livelihood, how can you speak so materialistically?" Pu Qiongzhi shook her palm-leaf fan.
The wife of the Crown Prince of Jingkang, Mrs. Qiao, tried to mediate, "Sisters, please stop being so rude. We are all family, so why bother?"
"Yes, we're one family! I've been wanting to ask Sister Qiao to come to the library for a while now, and I finally have some free time today." Pu Qiongzhi stepped forward and took her arm. "I heard that the young master has successfully enrolled in school? Has everything been going well lately?"
"This child was frowning every day a while ago, but he has shown some joy in the past two days. I also want to ask, did something happen in the library?" The more Qiao thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong.
No matter how she looked at it, she felt that this guy was gloating!
Pu Qiongzhi said, "It's true that no one knows a child better than his mother. I can't hide it from Sister Qiao! There are some problems, but they are all minor issues."
"You're not planning anything again?" Ding Momo said in a low voice, and walked past like a ghost.
Pu Qiongzhi laughed, "My princess, once bitten by a snake, will be afraid of ropes for ten years!"
"Hmph! You vicious woman, why don't you come over here quickly?" Ding Momo didn't give her any face at all.
Pu Qiongzhi pointed forward with her fan, "Look, that's it!"
Qiao and Ding Momo looked in the direction she pointed, and saw a shifty-looking woman leaning on the stone pier at the door and looking inside.
"Is there a thief? Come, capture her for me!" Ding Momo was about to take action immediately.
Pu Qiongzhi quickly stopped her, "Princess, please do not act rashly! This person is the aunt of the top student in the academy!"
"The champion? Could it be the one who passed the imperial examination?" Qiao's eyes lit up when she heard this. She almost went over to chat with him, but then stopped herself. "Why is she acting like this here..."
"Do I even need to ask? I already said it was my aunt. I can tell at a glance that she's here to cause trouble!" Ding Momo knew from the woman's face that she was not a good person.
Pu Qiongzhi also said somewhat helplessly, "What the princess said is true."
She informed the two of them about this.
"Then why did you call us here?" Ding Momo still didn't understand.
Pu Qiongzhi said, "The princess is the most distinguished lady in Kyoto. If she could teach in the academy, my humble Wutong Academy would surely be a great addition."
"Sister Qiao, didn't you notice that the prince is in a good mood recently? I came here today to treat Sister Qiao to a good show."
…
"Da Lang! Da Lang! Your brother has no books to read now. You, as his elder brother, have passed the imperial examination, but you cannot be so heartless as to abandon your brother!"
"Da Lang, how did you learn this book? Do you remember? That year, you were five years old. It was winter and our family couldn't even afford to eat. It was your brother who gave you his own batter so that you wouldn't go hungry!"
"Da Lang, your brother just wants to study... Our family is poor, and you're somewhat respectable now. Can't you ask the headmaster to let your brother stay? Even if it's just to watch from the sidelines? When your brother passes the exam one day, he'll definitely not forget your kindness!"
The sound of students talking came from inside. His aunt Yang guessed that school was over, so she immediately shouted loudly inside.
Soon, the sound of dogs barking was heard from inside.
"Hey hey hey! Dog! Dog, slow down! You can't run around!!"
When Mrs. Qiao heard the voice, it seemed to be that brat from her family.
She quickly stretched her neck to look, and sure enough, she saw her silly son running out after a fat dog.
The dog sniffed around and soon spotted the sneaky Yang, and rushed towards her.
"Woof woof woof! Woof! Awooo! Woof!" He was about to bite Yang's butt.
Fortunately, Yang usually works on the farm, so she is still in good health and can run very fast.
"Help! Help! A dog is biting someone! Is there anyone here to help? Help! Someone's been killed!"
Pu Qiongzhi couldn't help laughing as she watched Yang walking briskly.
Du Linkuan, who was originally standing there with a smug look on his face, only then noticed them and his smile instantly disappeared.
"Mom? Why are you here?" Du Linkuan was a little flustered.
Mrs. Qiao was looking at the dog at the moment.
I think the dog also knows how to read people's expressions, and soon it ran obediently to Qiao's feet with its tail wagging.
"Kuan'er! How could you let Zhaocai take such a risk?"
Du Linkuan spread his hands, "It's not me, it's Zhaocai who wants to see justice!"
"Who made her howl here all day? I can't even take a nap!"
"That's not right!" Qiao was so angry that she wanted to twist his ears.
Unexpectedly, several children came out from the library and saluted her, "Greetings, Madam!"
"Madam, please don't blame Brother Lin Kuan... he also means well." Yi Zhijie stepped forward and spoke tremblingly.
Du Linkuan crossed his arms over his chest and said, "Who said that? I just can't bear to call you my dear dog!"
"Aunt! Why are you here?" Nangong Jiayu and Xu Zhengqing also came out at this time.
He saw the commotion here and walked over, only to find Pu Qiongzhi was there too.
Xu Zhengqing felt envious when he saw Nangong Jiayu and Wen Shushuoren acting so unrestrainedly and coquettishly.
Unfortunately, he himself does not have such good fortune.
"Xu Zhengqing's aunt is causing trouble here. How terrible...Aunt, please leave quickly. We have a solution!"
He was afraid that the man would hurt his aunt, so he drove her away.
Pu Qiongzhi laughed a little, "Brother Yu, don't be afraid, auntie has a way!"
"I'm not afraid, we've figured out a solution!"
"As long as we take Brother Xu's grandfather and sister to the Shuyuan to be taken care of, we can get rid of his aunt!"
"Sister can go to the girls' academy, and we will take turns to look after Brother Xu's uncle!"
