Chapter 316 Settling Accounts with the Little Devil

Halfway through the walk, she came back.

Xu Wan held up her skirt, suppressed her anger, and came back to sit opposite Zong Zhao again. The latter looked up at her, a little puzzled.

"Let's settle the score with him after dinner." Xu Wan said stiffly.

After all, he had spent so much time memorizing the test questions for her, and it seemed a bit too much for her to leave him alone in the middle of her meal.

Zong Zhao raised the corner of his mouth slightly, lowered his eyes and hummed.

Xu Wan didn't see his expression. She picked up the spoon and continued to drink the porridge. Perhaps because of her emotional fluctuations, her appetite also improved a lot.

Zong Zhao said, "There is still a small part of the test that I haven't memorized. I referred to the two test papers you compiled, and remembered some familiar questions, and wrote them down by the way."

Xu Wan nodded repeatedly: "Okay, I'll tidy them up for them, thank you so much." After saying that, she gave him a thumbs up.

Zong Zhao was puzzled: "What is this?"

Xu Wan smiled and said, "I mean to compliment you on how great and amazing you are. You were able to answer most of the questions from twelve years ago. You are indeed the youngest No. 1 scholar in history."

Zong Zhao pinched his fingers, and his expression softened noticeably. He stood up and said, "You go ahead, I'm going to investigate the case."

"Oh okay, see you later." Xu Wan tilted her head and waved at him.

Zong Zhao left again.

But she seemed to be walking in a hurry. Xu Wan thought that she might have wasted time on the mental questions, so she had to walk so fast.

She stood up and was about to go to the desk when she saw the old lady coming in with a big smile on her face: "Wan'er, have you had your meal?"

Xu Wan hurried over to greet her: "I have used it. I just had breakfast with my husband."

"Oh, that's what I thought. When I came over, I saw Zhao'er's ears were red." The old lady betrayed her son without hesitation.

"Ah?" Xu Wan was confused.

Why are your ears red? What did Zong Zhao just do?

The old lady smiled and said, "He was shy, and he walked faster than usual. I found him."

Xu Wan: "???...Isn't he in a hurry to go out and handle the case? My husband said he has been busy with this recently."

The old lady whispered in her ear: "Observe him next time. He is different. He is just not good at expressing his emotions, but some small movements are easy to see."

Xu Wan was as honest as a quail.

Is her mother-in-law teaching her to discover Zong Zhao’s little secret?

After the old lady left, Xu Wan scratched her head, still not figuring out why she had discovered Zong Zhao's little secret for no reason. She simply ignored it and continued to look at her autumn examination questions.

Zong Zhaomo came up with a lot of test questions, which looked like she had spent the whole morning writing them. The ink had dried, so she carefully put them away and prepared to take them to the key classes to give to the teachers.

Xu Wan was walking on the road when she suddenly had an idea.

I've got it.

Zong Zhao's ears just turned red, was it because she praised him?

The mother-in-law smiled like that, did she think Zong Zhao liked her?

That shouldn't be the case. They haven't met each other for many times. Xu Wan thinks that she doesn't have a pretty face and it's unlikely that someone would fall in love with her at first sight.

Then she thought: Could it be that Zong Zhao is as thin-skinned as Wen Xiu, so his ears turn red when he is praised?

Unable to guess the truth, Xu Wan decided to wait and see next time.

Houfu key class.

Xu Wan handed the test questions to the teachers and asked someone to transcribe a copy and send it to the Qin Mansion.

Pan Hongzhi looked at the autumn examination paper from twelve years ago and exclaimed: "The general is worthy of being a general. He can still recite it after such a long time. I am really ashamed of myself."

Jiang Yan and others also praised him: "It is really amazing. Fortunately, he did not fight with the children. Otherwise, even Master Cheng would not dare to say that he can defeat him."

Zhao Yin laughed insincerely: "Hahaha, Master Cheng is right behind you..."

Jiang Yan was shocked immediately.

But the little devil was not angry. Instead, he boasted with a smile: "Teachers, you think too much. I am not jealous. I am my father's son. If he is good, I am as good as him. Oh no, I have a photographic memory. In another twenty years, I will be able to recite the autumn examination questions from memory. Do you know what this is called? This is called the disciple surpasses the master! Hahahaha..."

Teachers: "..."

Although the truth is the truth, you said it so brazenly that I really have no desire to praise you at all.

Xu Wan stared at the little devil, her eyes becoming more and more dangerous. She waited until he finished laughing before she said word by word, "Zong Jincheng, come out with me."

The little devil's laughter stopped abruptly.

Did mom just call him by his full name?

What happened to his mother? She had never called him like that before? Did he do something wrong and his mother got angry?

Zong Jincheng followed her out nervously.

The teachers and students in the room looked as if they were enjoying a good show and all put down their books.

Shen Yibai suggested, "Let's go to the window and eavesdrop. Auntie will definitely scold Jincheng. I guarantee it will be exciting."

He Zheng said in horror: "Forget it. If Big Brother finds out, he will definitely be angry."

"Oh, what's there to be afraid of? At worst we can just have a fight," Wei Xing said as he quietly approached the window, half of his ear pressed against the wall, his eyes fixed on the ceiling.

Shen Yibai followed suit, pressing his ear against the wall and saying, "Close your eyes, close your eyes. You'll hear better if you close your eyes."

"Oh, yes." Wei Xinglu quickly closed his eyes.

Zong Wenxiu, He Zheng: "..."

These two funny ones do so many tricks every day.

In the small pavilion.

Zong Jincheng followed her anxiously and asked weakly, "Mom, are you angry? Did I do something wrong?"

Xu Wan asked him with a sullen face: "Didn't you say that we are the best in the world?"

The little devil quickly responded, "Of course! The mother-son relationship between me and my mother is stronger than gold and will last forever!"

Xu Wan sneered: "And you have a lot of big secrets behind my back?"

She just used the big one instead of the small one.

Hiding the fact that Wenxiu still has relatives is not a small matter, and there are also safety risks. If anything happens to them, it will be something that the two children will not be able to handle.

"Ah? A lot?" The little devil said blankly, "No..."

He often eats with his mother and shares everything with her at any time, big or small, so there are no big secrets between them.

The little devil suddenly had an idea: "Oh, there are indeed many big secrets between me and Your Highness, but I can't tell you. I told you before, and you said you could understand it."

"There's more." Xu Wan said.

The little devil frowned and actually counted on his fingers: "Saving private money? But this is not a secret, right? You said you would give me sixty taels every month and let me spend it as I please... Oh, by the way, the day before yesterday, the son of the doctor of Guanglu Temple wanted to study in our mansion, but I told him to go back to where he came from. This is not an academy and we don't accept him. I didn't tell you this because my grandmother didn't let me have dinner with you recently, so I didn't have the chance to tell you. But why didn't you take me with you when you had dinner? Why can't I have dinner with you and dad?"
