One day later.
Wei Xu returned to the Marquis's residence. Although he had memorized all the contents of the book, he was not proficient in it and made mistakes in many places. However, his result was still much better than that of an ordinary person.
If an average person were to memorize the entire book, it would take at least ten days to half a month. Therefore, it can be seen that Wei Xu is not an ordinary person. If he can be properly trained, he may not achieve great things in the future, but he can at least become a useful talent.
"I've worked on this for a whole day and night without sleeping. I've done my best." Wei Xu looked at Mu Chenshuang's expressionless face and felt a pang of guilt. He had never studied so hard in his entire life.
Mu Chenshuang didn't make things difficult for him. "I can see that you've put in the effort, which is already very good. You're qualified."
Upon hearing this, Wei Xu felt a sense of relief, his heart sinking as he listened to Mu Chenshuang's approval.
"But don't get carried away. You still need to strengthen your understanding and memorize it thoroughly. You need to read this book at least three times a day, once in the morning, once at noon, and once in the evening. I will check on you at any time."
Wei Xu replied earnestly, "I know."
Mu Chenshuang reached out and picked up another book on the desk. "Take this one back and copy it three times. Memorize it thoroughly in seven days."
Wei Xu asked in surprise, "Seven days?"
"I will have Qiye conduct physical training for you in the next few days, so that you can keep up with both your studies and physical fitness."
"good."
Wei Xu stepped forward, took the book from Mu Chenshuang's hand, hesitated for a long time, and then asked, "Then can you... give me a satisfactory answer now?"
Mu Chenshuang looked at him and said, "The injury on Mu Yazhi's face has nothing to do with me right now. Mu Yazhi is not worth your effort. In his eyes, you are nothing more than someone he can use and discard at will. I know you don't believe me. In three days, you will understand whether what I said is true or false."
In the main courtyard.
Mu Yazhi looked at the white medicine bottle in her mother's hand and asked, "Mother, what is this?"
Lu Wei stood up, walked to the window, looked at the green buds sprouting from the branches outside, and said, "The spring festival in three days will be the best opportunity."
Mu Yazhi understood something, walked to Lu Wei's side, and asked, "Mother, what plan have you come up with?"
Lu Wei withdrew her gaze and looked at Mu Yazhi, saying, "Ya'er, persuade Wei Xu to send Mu Chenshuang a box of pastries the day before the sacrifice. At that time, find a way to smear the powder on the surface of the box so that her hand can touch it."
Persuading Wei Xu to send some snacks wasn't difficult.
"What if Mu Chenshuang doesn't run into her?"
"Find a reason to tell Wei Xu, and she will reveal it herself."
Mu Yazhi still had doubts and said, "But Mother, what exactly is in here? Even if you touch it, you can always wash it off. What's the use of this?"
Lu Wei smiled and said, "Once it gets on you, it's not so easy to wash off. You'll understand when the time comes. Just do as your mother says."
Mu Ya nodded in understanding, "I understand."
At this moment, a maidservant hurried in and announced, "Madam, Third Miss, the young master has come out of Tingzhu Courtyard."
Lu Wei looked at Mu Yazhi and said, "Go!"
"good."
The day before the Spring Festival.
Wei Xu brought over some snacks.
"What's this?"
Wei Xu said, "You'll know once you open it."
Mu Chenshuang's gaze fell on the box on the stone table, a barely perceptible glint flashing in her eyes. She then reached out and placed both hands on the edge of the lid, lifting it open. Inside the box was a box of egg yolk pastries and osmanthus cakes.
“I know you like to eat Miaoxinzhai’s food, but this is just as good as Miaoxinzhai’s. It’s made by my mother herself.”
Prince Wei and Princess Wei were overjoyed to see Wei Xu working so hard to start studying.
"Your Highness is so kind. Please thank Princess Wei for me."
"Then you should try it."
