"You vile woman! How dare you abuse my child and twist the truth! I'm going to divorce you! I'll make you regret this!" Zhang Yuanchao was furious.
"No, no, Zhang Yuanchao, you can't do this. I am also your lawfully wedded wife. You can't do this. Why is that bitch's child so privileged? My child is also legitimate, but it's as if he's inferior to her. Why? Zhang Yuanchao, you can't do this."
Zhang Yuanchao's face darkened, and he ordered his men to drag the woman away; he didn't want to hear anything.
After the courtyard quieted down, Zhang Yuanchao looked at Mingxiu and Kangxi, then walked up to Xiaoshitou's maternal grandparents: "Father-in-law, Mother-in-law, I'm sorry, it's all my fault. I was blind and didn't know that Du Shi was such a person. She almost killed Xiaoshitou. It's all my fault." At this moment, the man bent his back.
He genuinely had no idea that Mrs. Du held such thoughts; he had never thought that way before.
Mingxiu and Kangxi exchanged a glance. What happened next was no longer their concern. The two quietly withdrew from the courtyard, leaving Xiaoshitou's family at the gate.
Back home, Mingxiu sat in a chair for a while before speaking softly, "I thought Xiaoshitou's dad was a very unreasonable person, but he seems alright today."
Mingxiu was somewhat confused.
Kangxi nodded: "Yes, I didn't expect that either."
The two exchanged a glance. Who would have thought that if this person hadn't instructed it, there wouldn't have been a single person in the manor to help Xiao Shitou? But if it was his instruction, the situation today doesn't seem to be the same.
"Forget it, forget it. Anyway, we'll have to wait here for a while longer. Why don't you have your people check things out during this time?" Mingxiu blinked and looked at Kangxi.
Kangxi pondered for a moment and nodded. He had never thought this was a big deal before, so he had never had anyone investigate it. But now it was indeed necessary to have someone investigate it.
Before the results of the investigation ordered by Emperor Kangxi were even available, Little Stone's father had already brought Little Stone to express his gratitude.
Mingxiu didn't go out but waited inside with Xiaoshitou, while Kangxi chatted with Zhang Yuanchao outside.
Mingxiu looked at the people chatting outside and asked how things had been handled these past few days.
Then, based on what Xiao Shitou knew, it was roughly deduced that after obtaining Xiao Shitou's maternal grandparents' forgiveness, Zhang Yuanchao went back and divorced his current wife, and beat up and sold all the servants in the house.
Then they took Xiao Shitou back. Xiao Shitou said that not only was he going back, but they also planned to take his maternal grandparents back to stay for a while.
"Uncle is doing business outside and hasn't come back yet. We'll talk about it when he gets back," Little Stone said obediently, making the arrangements.
Mingxiu nodded. That was indeed a good idea. Xiaoshitou's maternal grandparents were getting old, and although they had someone to take care of them, they were still somewhat unable to keep up.
After exchanging a few words, Zhang Yuanchao left with Xiao Shitou. Mingxiu came out from inside and asked, "Is everything alright?"
Kangxi frowned: "We've found out some things, but it's not certain yet. Let's wait and see. Anyway, the person is right under our noses, so nothing will happen."
Mingxiu nodded and looked at Kangxi: "Didn't you go to the academy today? How was it? Did you find teaching a bit okay? There weren't any particularly naughty students, were there?"
"They are all quite well-behaved, though some are mischievous, but it's not like they were mischievous when they were young."
“Haha, Baocheng probably doesn’t know you’re talking about him like that, but it’s true.” Mingxiu sat down on the chair next to him, picked up Kangxi’s teacup, took a sip of tea, and said, “It’s not easy for children in town to go to school. Even though this place is considered pretty good, it’s still not easy. Naturally, they have to cherish the opportunity to study.”
Kangxi raised an eyebrow: "Then why are there still one or two extremely naughty children?"
“I’m talking about the general situation, but there are always some unusual situations, aren’t there?” Mingxiu said, giving Chao a flirty wink. “Some families are rich, or they are only sons for generations, so their families must dote on them. Or they are children who grew up with their grandparents, so they are very spoiled and it’s normal for them to be a little naughty.”
Kangxi nodded in agreement: "What you said is really right. It is a single lineage, and it has been five generations of single lineage. In addition, there is a mischievous child who grew up with the elders in this family."
“That’s right. It’s normal to spoil children. If you don’t spoil your own child, who will? It’s normal for them to be a little naughty as long as it’s not too excessive.” Mingxiu said calmly, then suddenly changed the subject: “However, in just one morning, Grandpa 2 has learned quite a lot.”
"Don't underestimate me. If I didn't even have this much insight, wouldn't I have lived in vain?" Kangxi said, pointing at Mingxiu from afar.
Mingxiu smiled and said, "If you don't even have this much skill, then all your efforts will have been in vain."
Although Emperor Kangxi educated Xiaoshitou and helped him work in the fields at home, he did not do it every day. When he had nothing to do, he heard that there was a private school in town. Emperor Kangxi's desire to teach and educate people was triggered, so he took his people and went there directly.
After discussing it with the headmaster, he agreed to let Kangxi go and teach. Of course, the time was not fixed; he could go whenever he was free.
When Mingxiu heard this, she couldn't help but admire the insight of the person on the mountain. Who could know better than Kangxi what kind of people could be cultivated and what the court needed? So this person was truly remarkable.
