People tend to have preconceived notions, so it's hard to say for sure.
Glancing in the direction of the two people, Shen Tangning said in a low voice, "People can't teach you everything, but you can learn something after just one lesson. You have to suffer losses and be fooled before you can learn your lesson."
Besides, she wasn't Feng Zhiwen's parent, so she had no obligation to discipline him.
However, Jiang Qingyue still dared to set her sights on her, which shows that she hasn't learned her lesson yet.
...
Here, Jiang Qingyue was playing the role of a confidante: "Rome wasn't built in a day. I told you long ago that Young Master Feng didn't need to do anything thankless because of my few words. Now look what's happened, Young Master Chi has already developed a grudge against you, which has made Young Master Feng look bad both ways."
She lowered her eyes, looking dejected and rather guilty.
Feng Zhiwen felt a pang of pity: "This has nothing to do with you, Miss Jiang, you don't need to blame yourself."
He sighed, his voice lowering slightly, "To be honest, I've been quite troubled by something else lately. My father always hopes I can enter officialdom, but I know I'm not cut out for studying. And my older brother is in charge of the business, so it seems like I'm accomplishing nothing..."
A strange light flashed in Jiang Qingyue's eyes. She stopped and looked up at him, her eyes filled with pity: "I can understand how Young Master Feng feels."
Feng Zhiwen paused, then looked at her with a hint of delight: "You really understand?"
She nodded, her tone becoming increasingly pitying: "Your father had high hopes for you, but he neglected your own feelings. Your older brother is too outstanding, and you've always lived in his shadow. It must have been very difficult for you."
“My older brother is very good to me,” Feng Zhiwen said sullenly, head bowed. “I’m just afraid of letting them down…”
Jiang Qingyue smiled slightly: "In that case, why doesn't Young Master Feng achieve something to show them?"
Feng Zhiwen's eyes widened, a blush rose to his face, and he stammered, "Miss Jiang, you overestimate me. What achievements could I possibly have?"
Jiang Qingyue stared at him intently: "Young Master Feng, don't underestimate yourself. I have seen many talented young people before, and I believe that Young Master Feng is no ordinary person."
Feng Zhiwen blushed deeply at her praise and lowered his head.
Her eyes flickered, and she said casually, "If Young Master Feng can prove that he can help with the family business, perhaps your father won't force you to study?"
Feng Zhiwen paused, his tone dejected: "But it's not that easy. My older brother is very good at this. No matter how strong I am, how can I be better than him?"
Jiang Qingyue pursed her lips slightly: "If Young Master Feng trusts me, I do know a way..."
Feng Zhiwen looked up in confusion: "Does Miss Jiang's family also have a business?"
She paused, then subtly smiled and turned her face away: "My family doesn't have any, but I have a cousin who has extensive connections and should know a lot about this. If you trust me, Mr. Feng, I can introduce you."
She bit her lip, gently tugged at his sleeve, and blushed. "With the friendship we have, I would never lie to you."
Feng Zhiwen still had some doubts, but his eagerness to prove himself was too strong. Seeing her shy face, he also became a little flustered: "I, of course I trust Miss Jiang!"
Jiang Qingyue looked up and sized up the person in front of her, a gentle smile blooming on her face, but a cryptic glint flashed in her eyes:
What an idiot! She hadn't even put out much bait, and he had already taken the bait.
Thus, she could be considered to have completed half of the task the Third Prince had entrusted to her.
