Lord Zong was filled with excitement, but he tried hard to control his emotions, which made his face tense.
Zong Ling was very good at reading people's expressions. When he saw his father like this, he thought something must have happened and immediately became more cautious.
"Dad...I don't think I've done anything wrong recently?" He also doubted himself a little.
Did the teacher in the academy send someone to speak ill of his father?
"Sit down. You've been away for so long, and I haven't had a good look at you for a long time." Lord Zong couldn't hold it in any longer, and a kind look appeared on his face.
"..." Zong Ling always felt something was wrong. In the past, his father's expression when he saw him was always frowning, as if he wanted to eat him up. Now, he only had this expression when he was talking to his eldest brother. "Dad, if you have something to say, just say it directly. Your smile is quite creepy..."
If his father is unhappy, can he still drop out of school?
"Ah, you child..." Master Zong sighed, "Over the years, I have indeed favored your eldest brother a little bit, mainly because I thought your eldest brother would have a promising future and would be able to support and take care of you. But I didn't expect that you have grown up now and become sensible..."
“???” Sensible? Him?
"Good boy, you have been doing well in the academy recently. Dad is really very happy. Just tell me what you want to buy... I have shown your mother the invitation for the academy. Your mother and your grandmother are also very pleased. After you finish your meal with them, go with me to the ancestral hall to worship our ancestors. Our ancestors should know about such a good thing..." Lord Zong was deeply moved.
But Zong Ling was really confused.
Are you sure it's ancestor worship, not... kneeling as punishment?
Also, what post? He doesn't know about it?
He looked confused and more honest, and Master Zong was even more satisfied: "Sending you to Wanjun Academy is indeed the right decision. You should study hard in the academy. In fact, you have been smart since childhood, but you have a lively personality. If you can calm down, your eldest brother may rely on you in the future..."
"!!!" If the previous words made Zong Ling confused, then the last sentence made him crazy.
Big brother has to rely on him?!
Suddenly I feel a little refreshed!
Although he didn't know what his father was thinking, he felt so comfortable with what he said! There was no point in refuting it!
His head was dizzy and he was extremely happy. He went to see his grandmother and mother again, and was praised again. He received treatment that he had never received since he was a child. He felt like he was about to ascend to heaven. How could he still remember the matter of the 100,000 taels of silver?
Besides, he is not stupid.
Obviously, the family's change was due to the teacher's post, so it would be impossible to drop out of school at this time.
The same as Zong Ling is Qian Jialu.
The post was also delivered to his seriously ill mother's bedside.
After seeing this, Mrs. Duan's eyes were filled with tears. She called her son over and praised him highly.
Duan was so excited that she even told all the secrets of the Qian family.
"It's all my fault for not having a healthy body. If it weren't for me, my son wouldn't have been spoiled by that bitch from the Qian family. She doted on you all day long, and your father didn't care about you. I almost ruined your life. Now it's not too late to turn back. I knew my son would learn well..."
Duan's crying made Qian Jialu flustered and he didn't dare to say a word.
Not only that, Duan also said that he would prepare gifts to give to the teacher of the academy as a token of gratitude.
If he said he wanted to drop out of school at this time, wouldn't his mother be furious?!
In order to make his mother happy, Qian Jialu had no choice but to endure it.
The same thing happened not only to the two of them, but also to most of the others after they returned.
