Chapter 594 She can see much further than most people
Haitang stepped forward and carefully opened the lid of the box. She saw several fine study treasures and several pieces of plain and elegant brocade neatly arranged inside. Each item was of great value and the ceremony was very considerate.
Chu Ruohan's gaze lingered on the gifts for a moment, with a proper smile on her face.
"The princess is thoughtful. Jiayou is a good kid in normal times. He was able to escape danger this time because of his great fortune."
Song Ruyan listened from the side, but felt a little disapproving.
What's with the thank you to the teacher and classmates? It's obvious that he is using this as an excuse to establish a relationship with the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion and at the same time boost the reputation of Prince Yong's Mansion.
"Master, how is Mr. Lin's injury?" Chu Ruohan asked casually.
"Madam, Mr. Lin only has superficial injuries and is not seriously injured. He will be fully recovered after a few days of rest." Master Li replied respectfully.
"That's good." Chu Ruohan nodded slightly and said, "When you return, please convey my gratitude to the princess. Tell her that we accept the gift and appreciate the kindness."
When Master Li saw that he had said everything he needed to say, he stood up and said goodbye.
Chu Ruohan personally saw him to the door, exchanged a few polite words with him, and then returned.
Seeing Master Li walking away, Song Ruyan couldn't help but curl her lips. "Lin Xingyao is quite a person. Just by giving such a small gift, she wants to establish a relationship with our family? She's really making a wishful thinking."
Chu Ruohan sat back in her chair, took a sip of tea, and looked at her with a far-reaching gaze: "Ruyan, don't underestimate Lin Xingyao. What she gave you is not a gift, but a favor."
"This time the Crown Prince was in danger, and Lin Jiayou really did make a contribution."
Chu Ruohan had dealt with her for two lifetimes and knew that she was a calculating person, but she was trapped in the love between men and women and could not extricate herself...
Lin Xingyao didn't send her off personally, nor did she let the servants of Prince Yong's Mansion send her off. Instead, she went to trouble Master Li. Wasn't it because she was afraid that she would refuse?
"She clearly wants to use the child to get in touch with the prince and Qingchen." Song Ruyan snorted, with a hint of disdain in her tone.
"Yes." Chu Ruohan put down the teacup, a shrewd glint in her eyes. "The Crown Prince, Qingchen, and Jiayou. If these three people can really be closely linked together, they will indeed not be underestimated in the future."
"She can see much further than most people."
"By the way, when the teacher came, did he also mention Lin Jiayou's punishment copying?" Song Ruyan suddenly remembered and asked.
Chu Ruohan shook her head: "Not really. I think Princess Lin has already taken care of it. After all, Jiayou has done a great job in protecting the emperor, and His Majesty even praised him, so I'm sure he won't be punished again."
"That's true." Song Ruyan seemed to be thinking about something, with a hint of helplessness in her tone, "However, our Qingchen and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince are not so lucky."
Chu Ruohan sighed softly, "Yes. However, this lesson may be a good thing for them. I hope they can truly understand the seriousness of this incident and not act so recklessly in the future."
As she spoke, her gaze turned to the window again and fell on Qian Zhenyun's figure squatting in a horse stance.
"Zhenyun is indeed a weak kid, Ruyan, you have to be careful." Chu Ruohan reminded.
Song Ruyan waved her hand: "Don't worry, I will pay attention. But, you have to keep a close eye on Qingchen. Although she was punished this time, I see that she is still restless."
Chu Ruohan smiled helplessly: "That's right. This girl has been wild since she was a child."
The two chatted for a few more sentences, and the topic soon returned to Lan Jie'er's marriage.
"Ruyan, what do you think we should do about Sister Lan's matter?" Chu Ruohan asked.
Song Ruyan frowned. "I think Third Madam Gu's intention is to get rid of Lan Jie'er as soon as possible. Although Mr. Wang's family has some money, their reputation is not very good. If Lan Jie'er really marries him, she will suffer."
Chu Ruohan pondered and said, "Yes. If I marry into a family like that, being bullied is not a big deal... But, I can't directly interfere in the affairs of the third wife of the Gu family."
Song Ruyan was a little angry: "But you can't just watch Sister Lan jump into the fire pit? When Lu Ge'er and Sister Lan were bullied in the mansion, I wanted to take them in, but you always said the time was not right."
Chu Ruohan patted Song Ruyan's hand and soothed her, "Ruyan, please be patient. I have my own plans."
She paused, then continued, "The most important thing now is Lu Ge'er's imperial examination. As long as he succeeds, the future of these two siblings will naturally be settled."
Song Ruyan sighed: "This is the only way. I hope Lu Ge'er can do his best."
"He is a smart child and will definitely live up to everyone's expectations." Chu Ruohan had a hint of expectation in her eyes.
At this time, in Gu Qingchen's boudoir, she was lying on the desk, the brush in her hand moving slowly on the rice paper, writing the crooked words "Nu Xun".
But I was thinking about Master Li's visit.
"Why is the teacher here suddenly?" Gu Qingchen muttered, and Lin Jiayou's face appeared in his mind.
"Could it be that Lin Jiayou's injuries have worsened? That shouldn't be the case. Daddy said that day that he only had superficial injuries."
She thought of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince again, and wondered if he would suffer from sore hands and neck like herself after being punished to copy the "Book of Filial Piety" a hundred times.
"Oh, when will this day end?" Gu Qingchen wailed and threw the brush aside.
Chu Ruohan's voice sounded at the door at the right time: "Gu Qingchen, you are slacking off again!"
Gu Qingchen was frightened and quickly picked up the brush and started copying honestly.
Mother's ruler is no joke.
