"So that's what you mean, Master!" Jiaming, who was being asked the question, was not nervous at all. She calmly sat down on the stool next to the Fourth Master and continued, "I wonder what's so interesting about asking me this?"
"Are you sure?" Fourth Master raised an eyebrow once again.
Instead of answering the Fourth Prince directly, Jiaming asked in return, "Do you think Xuan'er sometimes neglects her studies?"
"No."
“That works then.” This time it was Jiaming’s turn to raise an eyebrow.
Since the Fourth Master already knew her true colors, Jiaming didn't "pretend" much when they were alone together.
Upon hearing this, the Fourth Master narrowed his eyes.
Jiaming remained unfazed by the Fourth Prince's imposing manner and boldly asked, "Oh dear, Your Highness, you don't also think that I'm not qualified to order Xuan'er around or teach Xuan'er, do you?"
"No." Fourth Master denied it very decisively. He really didn't think so. Of course, this only applied to the Guarjia clan. It might not be the case for the Li clan.
Comparing Hongxuan and Hongshi, it's clear that Hongxuan is more magnanimous, while Hongshi is somewhat petty. Before moving to the front courtyard, Hongxuan was obviously much better than Hongshi. Besides Hongxuan being more intelligent, it was also because Guarjia had taught him well.
"That's good. Actually, I'm doing this for Xuan'er's own good," Jiaming said with a smile.
Fourth Master glanced at Jiaming, then shifted his gaze to the empty space ahead. After a moment of contemplation, he suddenly said, "It is indeed for Xuan'er's good, but it's a bit too easy."
"What?" Jiaming was stunned when she heard this, and looked at Fourth Master in disbelief.
"Your account books here are too few and too simple, which is not enough to train Xuan'er."
Jiaming immediately expressed her sympathy for Hongxuan.
Xuan'er, who told you to always cause trouble for your father in the past? Your father is going to settle accounts with you. You're probably going to have an even busier and more miserable life from now on.
"Oh, Your Highness, I am grateful for your training of Xuan'er. However, I hope you will control him and not make things too difficult for him. After all, he is only a few years old and cannot be treated like an adult."
Upon hearing this, Fourth Master glared at Jiaming and said, "What do you take me for? Do you think I would make things so difficult for him? Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
"Hehe," Jiaming chuckled dryly, "It's good that you know what's going on, my lord. I was just overthinking it."
Fourth Master narrowed his eyes. "Indeed, you've overthought things. How could you possibly view me like that?" After saying that, he leaned close to Jiaming's ear, but his tone wasn't cold. "Ming'er, tell me how you want to settle this misunderstanding caused by your 'overthinking'?"
An ambiguous atmosphere immediately enveloped the two of them.
