Grand Tutor MO looked at Pan Sheng and said, “How about the master seat?”

Pan Sheng stood up and replied respectfully, “Tai Gong said, ‘Be quiet and peaceful. Determine the softness first. Be good and not fight. Be humble and calm.”

Grand Tutor MO nodded and asked him to sit down. He looked at Yangyang and said, “Zhou Chenxi, the Wen King said, “How’s the Lord?”

“Taigong said, “The eyes are wise, the ears are wise, and the heart is wise. With the eyes of the world, nothing can be unseen. With the ears of the world…” Grand Tutor MO nodded in satisfaction and began his lecture.

After class, Pan Sheng walked to Yangyang’s side with a smile and pointed at his clothes. “Don’t tell me you were pushed into the toilet!”

“You’re the one who was pushed into the toilet!” Yangyang said angrily. Qi Dingbang winked at Yangyang and smiled. “Didn’t that Miss find you?”

Yangyang glanced at him. “I can’t be bothered with you. It’s His Highness’s class later. I’m leaving.”

Seeing that he didn’t want to talk, Qi Dingbang said tactfully, “You go first. I’ll leave later.”

Yangyang greeted Chu Yao and left the Crown Prince Academy.

Ji Xiang picked him up outside the palace door and walked back. Seeing him sitting silently on the cart, he smiled and asked, “Eldest Young Master, did you not complete your homework and were punished by Grand Tutor MO?” Yangyang replied in a low voice, “No, Uncle Xiang.”

Ji Xiang glanced at him. “Did you fight with a classmate? Do you want Uncle

Xiang to help you?”

“You don’t have to help me. I beat her until that person cried.”

Ji Xiang smiled. “It’s too embarrassing for a man to cry.”

“It’s not a man, it’s a woman.” Yangyang touched his chest and felt a little pain. Thinking that if it was a man, he would definitely knock his teeth out.

Ji Xiang laughed when he heard that. “Then you’re in the wrong. Girls have to be coaxed a little. You can’t use your fists. ”

Yangyang shook his head in frustration. “She doesn’t look like a girl. I can’t be bothered to coax her. I’m annoyed to see her.” With that, he crawled into the carriage.

When the two of them returned home, Li Yu saw that he was silent and touched his forehead. “Son, are you feeling unwell?”

“Mother, come in. I have something to tell you.” Yangyang pulled Li Yu into the room and lifted her clothes for her to see. “Look, I’ve already hidden in the toilet today, but she still won’t let me off… She bit me like this.”

As he spoke, he looked at Li Yu worriedly. “Mother, she bit me here and even hugged me. Will her family want me to marry her and make her my wife?” Li Yu smirked. “Young brat, I wonder what you heard outside?”

Li Yu looked at the bite mark on Yangyang’s chest and was secretly worried. Would he get tetanus if she bit him like this? Li Yu frowned. “Wait for me. I’ll get something for you to wash up with.”

Yangyang nodded. After a while, he saw Li Yu enter with a wine pot. “Mother, are you going to give me wine? You haven’t told me if her family will force her on me.”

As Li Yu wiped the teeth marks on him with strong wine, she asked, “Who told you that you have to marry her after being hugged?”

Yangyang looked at Li Yu worriedly. “Qi Dingbang said so. He said that this is how his brother’s wife came about.”

“You’re still children. There’s no such thing. According to his logic, doesn’t that mean you can hug whoever you want to marry? If you want to marry anyone, you can hug them too. These are all nonsense said by those pedantic families.”

Yangyang heaved a sigh of relief. “Then I’m relieved. I’ve been worried for so long.”

Li Yu smiled and patted him. ‘What are you afraid of? Perhaps she’s worried that you’ll insist on marrying her!”

Yangyang couldn’t help but shake his head. “She’s so fierce. I don’t want to marry her.”

Li Yu looked at him. “Remember, when you’re a little older, you can’t play with girls like this. At that time, they’ll really want you to marry her!” “Got it. I go see my brothers and do my homework thereafter.”

Li Yu nodded and watched him run out with a smile.

When the Spring Quarter Examinations were released, Lin Zexu’s job as an examiner was finally completed.

After returning home to wash up and rest, Madam Gong told him about Old Lin kidnapping Li Yu.

Lin Zexu suddenly stood up from his chair and looked at Madam Gong in disbelief. “How could this be? Old Lin is someone we brought from Qingzhou.”

Madam Gong said in a heavy tone, “The real Old Lin was killed by the bandits long ago. This Old Lin was impersonated by the bandits.”

Madam Gong felt a lingering fear just thinking about it. “Fortunately, Ah Yu is skilled in martial arts, so she was safe. If he had kidnapped you and Ah Lan…”

Lin Zexu was as afraid as Madam Gong. He frowned and recalled, “That year, he said that he caught a cold and rested at home for a few days. Later, I felt that he was a little different from before, but I couldn’t tell what was different. The only obvious thing was that his voice was hoarser than before. He even said that his throat was uncomfortable. Sigh! I really didn’t expect this. I almost harmed Ah Yu. I really did something wrong with good intentions.”

Madam Gong sighed and said, “That’s right! I thought so too. Fortunately, Ah Yu is fine. Otherwise, we would really have to feel guilty for the rest of our lives.”

Lin Zexu felt that Madam Gong’s words had hit the nail on the head. He nodded and said, “Let’s go over and take a look. I heard that Ah Qing is also setting off for Le County.”

“We’re setting off tomorrow morning. We’re just waiting for you to say goodbye!”

“Yes! Let’s go over and take a look.”

Lin Zexu walked out, and Madam Gong followed him.

When the couple arrived at Li Qing’s house, they saw that Li Yu and Zhou Jia were also there. After everyone smiled and greeted each other, they sat down. Lin Zexu looked at Li Yu apologetically. Just as he was about to speak, Li Yu stopped him with a smile. “Uncle, don’t apologize anymore. Aunt has already said a lot. Do you not treat me as your biological niece?”

When Lin Zexu heard Li Yu’s words, an inexplicable sadness surged in his heart. “Silly girl, I won’t say anything. As long as you’re fine, I won’t say anything.”

Li Qing stood up and said to Lin Zexu and Zhou Jia, “Uncle, Brother-in-law, let’s go to the study to talk.”

“Alright.” The two of them nodded in agreement and went to the study with Li Qing. The study was almost ready.

Zhou Jia told Lin Zexu what had happened during his time in the examination hall.

When Lin Zexu heard this, he said with a heavy heart, “Looks like that person hasn’t been idle all these years. Fortunately, he didn’t ascend to that position.”

Zhou Jia nodded and said, “We’ll wait for Chu Qing to come back and see if we’ve found those lurking thieves.”

Li Yu, Madam Gong, and Fan Mingfang sat and chatted. Zhou Jia and Li Qing waited until mealtime before coming out together.

The next morning, Zhou Jia and his wife sent Li Qing’s family to the city gate where everyone said goodbye.

Madam Gong instructed, “Wanwan, Dong’er is still young. You have to be careful on the way and protect the good child.”

Fan Mingfang nodded and said, “Yes, Aunt, Sister. You have to take care of your health at home. Go to Le County to play when you’re free.”

Li Yu nodded. “Alright, I’ll definitely go..”
