Jiang Xuelin herself is a woman, so how could she refuse to teach Li Wenruo just because she is a woman and thinks that she should be quiet and not wield weapons?
However, Li Wenruo was still too young, and teaching her martial arts would definitely require the consent of her elders.
Children may make decisions based on momentary interest, but adults cannot allow them to do so.
Li Wenruo nodded upon hearing this, indicating that he understood, "I will ask my brother."
Then, Li Wenruo turned and leaned against Consort Yang, "Mother, I want to learn martial arts from Sister Xuelin, is that alright?"
She really wanted to. She had heard about Jiang Xuelin when she was at home before. Her nanny, who was in charge of teaching her, had said so, and even her father, Uncle Chengyi, had said so. However, in their words, Jiang Xuelin was not a good girl, but an outrageous girl that no one would like. Even though she came from a wealthy family, people would marry her because of her family background, not because she was a good person.
"What man would like a woman like that? It's utterly absurd and immoral. Her position will inevitably be unstable in the future. This is your chance."
—These are the words that Uncle Chengyi said to her that day.
However, the story of the eldest daughter of the Jiang family that Li Wenruo heard from her brother Li Wenfeng was completely different from what Cheng Yibo and the others had told her. After actually meeting her, she realized that her previous imagination of Jiang Xuelin was somewhat simplistic.
She longed to be that kind of woman, and wanted to have some ability to protect herself, instead of having to resign herself to her fate and hide when faced with danger.
And...it's really dazzling!
Consort Yang tapped Li Wenruo's nose, not refusing her.
This matter is beneficial to Li Wenruo. Consort Yang's heart is now entirely focused on this daughter, so naturally she will consider her well-being. The more contact she has with Jiang Xuelin and Fu Hanlai, the more benefits she will receive in the future, since the entire Pingwang Mansion will eventually belong to Jiang Xuelin and Fu Hanlai.
Moreover, if she could learn martial arts, even just to improve her health, that would be good. Consort Yang didn't care about anything else; she just hoped that Li Wenruo could have a smooth and healthy life.
Long before she adopted Li Wenruo as her daughter, Consort Yang had asked Princess Ping to send a letter to the Imperial Hospital to invite the best physician specializing in sprains and bruises to examine Li Wenruo. The physician said that Li Wenruo had recovered very well, and even he himself might not have been able to do so. Consort Yang was very curious about the physician who treated Li Wenruo's feet and wanted to talk to him, but Consort Yang brushed her off.
The other party said that Li Wenruo only needs to continue the current treatment plan, and he will definitely recover better in the future, so there is no need for him to do anything extra.
This made Consort Yang even more grateful to Jiang Xuelin and Hongluo.
After seeing Li Wenruo, Hongluo returned to Qiutang Courtyard with Jiang Xuelin this time, instead of staying by Li Wenruo's side any longer. Li Wenruo's foot only needs to be checked every few days and the medication adjusted, so there's no need to watch over her every day.
Hongluo followed Jiang Xuelin back to Qiutang Courtyard. The other girls were very happy to see her and told her to go back and rest for a day and come back to work the next day, but Hongluo refused.
When she was with Li Wenruo, she was Li Wenruo's savior and also Jiang Xuelin's head maid. Even Consort Yang treated her very politely, so she wasn't tired at all.
Moreover, Hongluo also had a lot to say to Jiang Xuelin. She had learned quite a bit from following Li Wenruo around these days.
As soon as she entered the room, she saw Fu Hanlai sitting in the inner room with a gloomy face.
The bite mark on the other person's chin was quite conspicuous.
Noticing this, Hongluo suddenly looked at Jiang Xuelin, who seemed completely unaffected.
Hongluo: "..."
Although she had long noticed the special bond between the young lady and the young master, she hadn't expected them to have made such great progress in just a few days of her absence.
