Prince Yu's Mansion
In the evening, Xiao Lingzi hurried into the main hall. Leng Yu asked solemnly:
"Have you found out?"
Xiao Lingzi clasped his fists and replied:
"We've found out. There's indeed a person named Huang Yun in Shangyuan City, Liaodong. His background is basically the same as what he said. He was a scholar. I heard he left home a year ago to earn enough money to go to Beijing for the imperial examination. No one knows where he went."
"Does he have any relatives at home?"
"Yes, he has a sick mother who is still alive, and an unmarried brother with some intellectual disabilities. I heard that he sent money home in the past year, but it was always through other people; he never showed up in person."
Leng Yu and Luo Lan looked at each other and said in surprise:
"That's a bit strange. Why didn't he go home to see his seriously ill mother for a year?"
Luo Lan frowned and said with understanding:
"Perhaps, his life outside isn't going well! But the fact that he often sends money home shows that he's a caring person. That's something worth praising."
Leng Yu still shook his head in disbelief.
"But look at Huang Yun's face. He has delicate skin and tender flesh. He doesn't look like someone who has suffered since childhood!"
"My dear, he's a scholar. How could his mother bear to let him work? I guess the whole family is counting on him to become the top scholar and achieve success. There's no doubt about that. As long as this person's identity is genuine, there's nothing to worry about."
"In that case, he is indeed a suitable candidate. What do you think, my lady?"
Luo Lan smiled helplessly:
"Ever since he left, the children have been begging me all day long to agree to invite Mr. Huang to be their teacher. Since his background is impeccable and he's a scholar, there's naturally no problem for him to teach us children. I have no objection."
Leng Yu rubbed his hands and nodded slightly.
"Okay, Agang, clean up a room for Mr. Huang to stay in, and then invite him to come over tomorrow. Mr. Wu will also be set up tomorrow night, so let's set up a room together!"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
After Ah Gang responded, he retreated. Leng Yu looked at Luo Lan again and asked in surprise:
"Why haven't I seen Luo Xue in the past two days? She loves to join in the fun, why didn't she come this time?"
"Oh, she... Leng Ming has caught a cold these days, and she's taking care of him at home."
Luo Lan thought it would be better not to let Leng Yu know that Leng Ming was injured. Although she lied to him, it was a white lie and her husband would not care.
After comforting herself for a while, she let out a sigh and looked up at Leng Yu.
Leng Yu looked at her in disbelief. "Luo Xue takes care of Leng Ming? Did I hear it wrong? How is this possible?"
"This... How is it impossible? They are husband and wife now. Maybe Xue Xu has come to terms with it!"
Although Leng Yu still found it incredible, they were husband and wife, and that was a fact. He nodded and said calmly:
"If that's the case, then it's a good thing. Let's go see him after we finish our work tomorrow. Now that he and Luo Xue are married, we are both considered family. No matter what he did in the past, we shouldn't hold it against him. After all, we will see each other often in the future."
Luo Lan wanted to speak up to stop Leng Yu, but that seemed too abnormal, so she nodded and replied:
"Well, let's wait until things at home are settled."
Anyway, it will take two days to settle down here. By then, Leng Yu will be busy in the military camp and will forget about it. When he remembers it again, Leng Ming will probably have recovered.
She didn't want to lie to Leng Yu. She thought it was better not to let him know about this. He had always felt that Luo Xue had a stubborn temper. If he knew that Luo Xue had stabbed Leng Ming, he would talk bad about Luo Xue behind her back.
The next morning,
Prince Yu's Mansion was particularly lively today. Everyone got up early. The four children of Prince Yu's Mansion huddled together early in the morning, whispering something.
An An, who loves to talk the most, was the first to say:
"If that bearded guy wins again today, we won't agree to anything."
Huaiyu, who was always cautious, shook her head in embarrassment.
"Even if we don't agree, it seems useless. This rule was set by Dad and Mom. We can't let Dad and Mom go back on their word, right?"
Lele pouted, sighed and shook her head:
"Then what should we do? I don't like that bearded guy either. How about this? Let's go and ask Uncle Ling. If he's still on the stage tonight, let him go up to the ring and defeat that bearded guy. His kung fu is definitely better than that of the bearded guy."
Yi Cheng frowned and stopped him:
"That doesn't seem to work. Everyone in the capital knows Uncle Ling, and so do the martial artists. If he goes on stage and defeats that bearded man, wouldn't that give people something to talk about? They'll say our Yu Palace is just playing tricks, and then people will even criticize my father and mother."
"What should I do then?" An An put his hands on his chin and sighed.
"Neither left nor right, what else can we do?"
Lele squeezed his eyes a few times, bit his lip and said:
"How about this, if he really becomes our martial arts teacher, we can find a way to piss him off. It won't be easy for the four of us to piss off a bearded uncle!"
The other three children nodded in indignation.
"Okay, it's settled."
At this moment, Luo Lan looked at the four children who were sitting together whispering and called out loudly:
"What are you guys talking about?"
The four children turned around at the same time, and when they saw Luo Lan, they all ran to her and shook their heads.
An An was the first to speak:
"Mom, we heard that you and Dad agreed to let Mr. Huang be our teacher? We are very grateful and want to thank you and Dad."
After An An finished speaking, the other three children nodded in unison. Luo Lan looked at them suspiciously and asked in confusion:
"Is that true?"
Lele pulled Yicheng's clothes and whispered,
"Brother Yicheng, let's go outside and take a look. It seems the ring match has already started."
After hearing this, the other three children also said goodbye to Luo Lan and ran towards the door.
Luo Lan shook her head helplessly. These kids might be up to some tricks. The child is grown up now, and there are some things she is unwilling to tell her.
On the ring outside Prince Yu's mansion, people came one after another to challenge the bearded man who had been on the stage for two days, but without exception, they were all knocked down by him in the end.
Because of this, the four children sitting in the audience clenched their fists in anxiety.
Luo Lan went to change Leng Ming's medicine in the morning. When she arrived at Prince Ming's Mansion, Luo Xue was waiting for her at the door. Seeing her come in, she hurried forward and asked:
"Sister, what's going on? Has that bearded guy been knocked off the ring?"
Luo Lan shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly.
"Why does everyone dislike that bearded guy?"
