His lips twitched a few times, but he couldn't utter a single word!
Why would he read such profound and difficult books?
Could it be that his mother noticed he was deliberately making things difficult for Wei Herui?
"Mother, I...I guess I won't need it?" Xu Qingshi said softly to Li Zhiwei, wondering what reason he could give her to abandon the idea.
You should know that he has absolutely no desire to study.
“Why not? You and Young Master Wei are friends. Seeing how studious your friend is, shouldn’t you also study hard so that you can catch up with your good friend and not fall behind others?” Li Zhiwei even thought that she should find a tutor for Xu Qingshi.
Otherwise, other children of the same age are all studying, and it's not good for your child to just wander around all day.
Xu Qingshi is destined to inherit the Prince An's mansion, so he needs to be carefully nurtured.
Xu Qingshi was speechless after Li Zhiwei's words. He regretted it in his heart. If he had known, he shouldn't have said that Wei Herui was his friend just to get back at him!
God knows, they weren't friends at all, they were more like mortal enemies.
I wonder if it's too late for him to talk to his mother now?
"Mother, actually..." Xu Qingshi struggled with his conscience for a long time before finally deciding to confess to Li Zhiwei.
"Alright, Qingshi, let's hurry up and pick out a few gifts for your Aunt Lin too." Li Zhiwei patted Xu Qingshi's shoulder and urged him with a smile.
Watching the waiter carry the two packages and place them on their carriage, Xu Qingshi couldn't bring himself to smile.
He finally felt like he had shot himself in the foot.
"Qingshi, don't be afraid. I'll find you a great tutor later. With your intelligence, you'll definitely be just as good as Young Master Wei," Li Zhiwei said with a smile, comforting Xu Qingshi who was looking downcast.
Li Zhiwei recalled her initial idea of building an academy, and now felt that it was time to put this matter on the agenda.
That lady can first give Xu Qingshi his early education, and later, she can also send him to the academy to teach children.
This can be considered killing two birds with one stone.
Royal Palace
Zhu Jingchen looked at the twenty boxes, each filled to the brim with gold, and his heart sank to the bottom!
How much of the people's wealth must have been plundered to amass so much gold?
Thinking about the empty national treasury year after year, it's probably because of corrupt officials like Liu Zongcheng!
With so many parasites in their Lanno Kingdom, how could they possibly ever rise to prominence?
"Tang Xiuyong! Shouldn't you give me an explanation for this?" Zhu Jingchen coldly glanced at Tang Xiuyong below and questioned the chief minister.
It should be noted that Liu Zongcheng was merely a Vice Minister of Revenue, yet he managed to embezzle so much gold.
He couldn't believe that Tang Xiuyong was unaware of Liu Zongcheng's actions.
"Your Majesty, I am guilty! But I had no idea that Liu Zongcheng had embezzled so much silver!" Tang Xiuyong knelt on the ground, trembling.
These twenty boxes probably contain tens of thousands of taels of gold. One tael of gold is worth ten taels of silver, so that's more than a hundred thousand taels of silver.
This amount was too huge. Even as the Minister of Revenue, he couldn't shake the thought of where all this money came from.
But if he doesn't have a reasonable explanation for this, what should we do if he is also punished?
