Chapter 184 You were the one who asked for peace first

Xu Wan raised her eyebrows: "When it gets cold, I'll ask someone to change your room to one with a heater, so you can keep warm."

"Well, okay." Zong Jincheng said casually.

In the small courtyard, Cuizhi had already prepared the meal. The small table was filled with a wide variety of the little devil's favorite foods.

Zong Jincheng sat at the table and took a look, and immediately confirmed his guess.

Sure enough, she just wanted to trick him, otherwise why would she suddenly be so nice to him?

Humph, bad woman, she never thinks of good things for him. After I finally treat him nicely for a while, she still has other ideas.

bad person.

Seeing the little devil's expression change, Xu Wan said in surprise: "What's wrong? These are all your favorite dishes, why are you looking so sullen?"

The little devil angrily said, "You are being so kind for no reason."

The latter sentence was not pleasant, so he did not say it.

Xu Wan smiled and said, "How can you say that you are being attentive for no reason? We are repairing the broken mother-son relationship."

The little devil pouted and whispered, what broken mother-son relationship? Who broke it with you...

"What are you mumbling about?" Xu Wan asked.

The little devil snorted and picked up the chopsticks to pick up the food himself. It would be a waste if he didn't eat it. She had prepared it anyway.

But forget about trying to trick him, he won't tell the truth.

Seeing the kid eating rice, Xu Wan couldn't help but remind him, "Don't you want to eat vegetables? Here's your favorite roast goose."

Zong Jincheng decisively refused: "I won't eat it. I'm not grateful for what I have received."

Don't try to control him anymore.

Xu Wan raised her eyebrows and said, "Little friend, you have a lot of opinions about me."

"Humph." The little devil glared at her again.

Xu Wan called him: "Come on, stop eating, let's talk it over."

The little devil replied angrily, "What? What are you trying to trick me into saying?"

Xu Wan was surprised: "You can guess this?"

Zong Jincheng glanced at the abundant dishes on the table and said coldly, "Isn't this obvious? Do you think I'm as stupid as you?"

Xu Wan: “!!”

Who are you calling stupid?

You little bastard, my motherly love will be used up in no more than three days!

Seeing Xu Wan's expression change, the little devil felt even more wronged. He angrily accused: "It was you who wanted to scheme against me, and you still have the nerve to be angry with me. It's so unreasonable."

The brat suddenly did this and Xu Wan was stunned.

This little devil, this little devil...

Things have really changed recently. He started to soften his knife for her. Oh no, it seems there is no knife, but he softened it and stopped pointing the thorny side at her. That's because...

Realizing the reason why a hedgehog with angry hair suddenly retracted its quills, Xu Wan's heart suddenly softened.

She opened her mouth for a long while before saying, "Let's call a truce. We will be good mother and son in the future."

Xu Wan thought he would be happy to hear this.

But the kid's face immediately changed. He put his chopsticks on the bowl, stood up and howled, "You lied to me!"

"When did I lie to you?" Xu Wan asked again, "I didn't do anything, how can you be sure that I was lying to you?"

The little devil accused, "You clearly said at the beginning that as long as I agreed to go to school with my brother, we could temporarily keep our distance. Doesn't that mean a truce? Now you are talking about a truce again, but in your heart you have never had a truce, right?"

Xu Wan: “…”

People with very good memories don’t even need to look up books when they are arguing. They can even reproduce the original sentences for you exactly.

Xu Wan rubbed her brows and said, "That's not what I meant."

"Why is it not the same thing?"

"What do you mean?" Xu Wan was annoyed by the question and began to settle accounts with him, "Then you will ask Wen Xiu to bring bad lychees to harm me in the future. Is this a truce?"

Zong Jincheng argued: "I didn't say I wanted to stop fighting with you!"

Xu Wan caught the loophole in the language and immediately hit back: "You see, it's your problem, it has nothing to do with me."

Little Devil: “…”

Damn it, why can’t I win an argument with her?

Bad guy, it's obvious that she is not in the right!

Xu Wan coughed and said, "So let's call it a complete truce today. Both you and I call it a truce, okay?"

Zong Jincheng wanted to say yes.

But she was afraid that if she told him, she would think he was afraid.

So he stiffened his neck and said arrogantly: "You were the one who asked for peace first."

Xu Wan rolled her eyes inwardly, thinking, "You're so arrogant!"

She said, "Yes, yes, yes, I was the first to ask for reconciliation. It was Master Zong who didn't hold it against me and was willing to reconcile with me and build a harmonious mother-son relationship."

The little devil snorted and said, "I'll think about it."

Xu Wan: “…”

This motherly love, which is not much to begin with, cannot be stored at all.

The two of them sat down and continued to eat. Xu Wan did not speak any more, nor did she try to get him to talk, as if these were all his petty guesses.

After a long while, he waited until he was halfway through his meal before he took the initiative to say, "I promised Your Highness that I would not tell anyone. You should be a man of your word, right?"

Xu Wan was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Yes, since I promised Your Highness, I must keep my promise."

After the prince left, she went upstairs to check and saw that the pen, ink, paper and inkstone were not touched. It was just as he said, he just asked Jincheng to go upstairs to chat.

Although it is certainly not the content that Jin Cheng boasted about, it is definitely not something that is only found in the books of ordinary sages, otherwise he would not have not even read books or written a word.

Xu Wan didn't know what the prince wanted to teach Jin Cheng, but based on her understanding of the prince, he would certainly not have the intention to harm Jin Cheng. On the contrary, he might even help her teach her child.

Xu Wan figured it out and stopped worrying about it. Let it become Jin Cheng's secret weapon.

At the beginning of August, I had to take the monthly exam at the academy.

Zong Jincheng and Zong Wenxiu went to take the examination for the children's class of Qingbo Academy as scheduled, but unfortunately, they both failed.

The gap is so huge that it is difficult to catch up in just one or two months.

However, unlike the last place that the little devil had expected, Zong Wenxiu had good news. He was ranked 123rd this time and would be able to squeeze into the list of children's science classes in the next exam.

The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming.

Beautiful lanterns were hung all over the mansion. The old marquis took the invitation to the palace banquet and got on the carriage to the palace with his family.

Since He Zheng had been studying in the Marquis' Mansion, he also followed them from the Marquis' Mansion into the palace, but his seat was different this time.

The old lady took Xu Wan in a carriage and told her some gossip about the palace on the way, which made Xu Wan full of gossip. From time to time, sweet laughter could be heard in the carriage.

The other car was quite awkward, with one adult and three children sitting there in silence.

Zong Jincheng frowned and muttered: Bad guy, you said last month that you would follow me from now on, but now you abandon me.

The old military commander who was pretending to be asleep with his eyes closed suddenly opened his eyes and looked at him.

This boy, is he missing Wan'er?

Zong Jincheng's heart skipped a beat when he was looked at. He hurriedly looked at his brother and He Zheng, but neither of them responded. That grandfather probably didn't hear what he was mumbling either. It must be a coincidence.
