Chapter 228 How to talk to my mother?

Xu Wan cast her eyes on the little devil, intending to use this naughty boy to reject people, but the little guy didn't see the problem at all from her perfect smile, and instead added: "Yes, Shen Yibai wants to join the Four Little Dandies, I agree."

Xu Wan: "You agree?"

No, Shen Yibai took the initiative to apply to join the group???

No wonder there was a substitute player, it turns out he volunteered.

The little devil nodded: "I agree, Shen Yibai is much better than Zhai Yao."

Xu Wan: “…”

Anyone who can compare with Zhai Yao can meet the requirements.

Xu Wan really couldn't find a reason. Madam Shen even ordered people to prepare the children's clothes and luggage, and said something very similar to Madam He:

"Sister, I'm leaving this child to you. Beat and scold him when necessary. Don't worry, I will never interfere."

Xu Wan: “…………”

This is not a good sign.

But Mrs. Shen was, after all, a close friend of the Crown Princess, and had introduced her to many friends in the capital. She was very enthusiastic, and it would be embarrassing for her to reject her.

Xu Wan sighed and said, "I will try my best to teach Yi Bai, but the time is too short. I can't guarantee that he will get good grades in this exam."

Mrs. Shen was delighted when she heard this: "Okay, okay, sister, as long as you agree, my family is much more open-minded than Minister He's family. We won't force children to do well in exams. As long as they can read books and be useful to the court, it's fine. If you go out fooling around every day, my father-in-law is almost worried to death."

The current prime minister is about to retire, and now the heads of various departments are on high alert, fearing that they will miss out on promotion if they make a mistake. The same is true for Lord Shen, the Minister of Rites.

Xu Wan was having a great time chatting with Madam Shen. When Shen Yibai saw that something was wrong, he started to run away again. However, Madam Shen had become smarter and arranged a guard to be by his side. The guard held the child's shoulder with one hand, making it impossible for him to move.

Shen Yibai could only turn around in circles, howling, "Ahhh, I don't want to come to study, I don't want to, Jincheng, I want to quit, I don't want to join you four little playboys."

Little Shen resisted the guards like a cannonball. Although he tried his best, his weakness made him look like a joke. The little devil was the first to burst out laughing.

"Hahahahahahaha, I told you a long time ago that the Four Little Dandies wasn't a good title, but you insisted on joining. You regret it now, don't you? It's too late, come in and study with us."

The guards escorted him in, Zong Jincheng walked in front with a swagger, feeling extremely happy. It turned out that it was so fun when his mother escorted him to study, and watching Shen Yibai struggle in vain was like teasing a monkey.

Xu Wan talked to Mrs. Shen for a while, and sent her off before going to the study. On the way, she was still planning to assign another private instructor to Shen Yibai. However, there were not enough staff and new ones were needed. Later, she could ask the three private instructors if they had any acquaintances to recommend anyone, after all, they were all classmates.

She was just thinking about who to arrange to take the new personal trainer to familiarize herself with the teaching, when she suddenly heard Shen Yibai shouting outside the house: "Bad woman, let me go, I don't want to stay here!"

Xu Wan was stunned.

What a familiar scene! The words are exactly the same as what the little devil said. They are indeed dandy brothers.

However, when she thought about teaching such a playboy again, she felt exhausted both physically and mentally. Now she understood the teacher. It was really exhausting to teach every class of students all over again.

Xu Wan took a deep breath at the door, intending to wait until she was in a good mood before going in, but the little devil kicked Shen Yibai lightly and scolded him, "How do you talk to my mother? Do you want to be beaten? Say it again."

Although Zong Jincheng was rude to Xu Wan in the past, he is now best friends with his mother, so of course he would not allow Shen Yibai to treat her like this.

Zong Wenxiu and He Zheng were both stunned: what a cool little brother!

Zong Jincheng's intimidation was undeniable. The arrogant and irritable Shen Yibai was immediately frightened: "I'm sorry, auntie, I'm rude. But please let me go, I don't want to stay here."

Xu Wan blinked and secretly admired the little devil's shocking power.

You really are worthy of being the leader of the four little dandies.

However, with Zong Jincheng protecting her, Xu Wan felt warm in her heart, just like drinking a cup of hot tea in winter, warming her throat, lungs, and every part of her body.

She came in with a smile and said, "Yibai, your mother has passed away, so you should stay here. Look, aren't He Zheng and Jin Cheng here too? They are slowly getting used to studying."

"I don't..." Shen Yibai's face flushed with anger, and he subconsciously retorted, but when he saw the little devil glaring at him again, he immediately became polite, "I don't want to study, it was my mother who dragged me here. Auntie, please be kind and let me go quietly. I definitely won't say it was you who let me go. I'll just say that I climbed over the wall and ran away by myself."

Xu Wan said with a smile: "But where can you go if you leave here? When you return to the Shangshu Mansion, your mother will continue to send you here."

Shen Yibai: "..."

The kid was filled with grief and anger. He said angrily, "Then I won't go home. I'll go wandering around and live outside. They force me to do things I don't like anyway, so I'll let them know the pain of losing me!"

The little devil grinned, watching the show with a complicated expression. He thought his brother was quite normal a year ago, but why did he seem more and more immature now?

Xu Wan did not refute him, but followed his words and said: "Where did you live when you were wandering, and how did you eat?"

Shen Yibai said: "Of course I'll stay in a hotel and eat at a restaurant. I can't cook for myself."

Xu Wan nodded, looked him over and said, "But your mother has taken away all the valuable things on you. Even if you sell this set of clothes, how many days can you survive outside?"

Shen Yibai blushed: "I, I, I have so many brothers, Jin Cheng will definitely be able to lend me money."

The little devil quickly raised his hands in surrender: "Mom, I swear, I don't have that much private money. The way he spends it, living in a tavern and eating out, I can't support him until he grows up."

This is Shen Yibai, not the Jing Chen siblings. The expenses are too high and he can’t afford to support them.

Shen Yibai: “!!!”

Brother, is our brotherhood so fragile?

He looked at He Zheng again, who directly showed him his wallet, which was cleaner than his face.

“…”

Then do you still need to carry a wallet with you every day?

Shen Yibai blushed instantly: "If you don't want to lend it to me, then don't lend it to me. The worst that can happen is that I will become a vagrant and sleep on the street. Anyway, it's impossible for me to study. Even if I freeze to death or starve to death, I will never study!"

Xu Wan shook her head in amusement. She suggested, "Come on, kid, let me give you an idea. You can learn a skill so that you can support yourself even if you run away from home in the future, and you won't freeze to death or starve to death."

Shen Yibai was shocked when he heard this, and asked without any defense: "What is it, what is it? Auntie, please tell me quickly, I will definitely be grateful to you after I learn it!"

Xu Wan smiled at him and said to the two brothers of the Zong family, "You tell him the story of Lin Yu. I will go talk to the teachers."

"Okay, leave it to us." Zong Wenxiu responded.
