Blanket disclaimer: This novel doesn’t belong to me. All characters and plots belong to the author. I just translate during my free time.





“The Young Master is so stubborn and unscrupulous. If I can’t teach him well, asking the Concubine not to punish me.


When Wu Pozi heard this, she thought isn’t this just right. Isn't that what Madam meant? After pretending to be comforted at the moment, she turned around and went to report to Concubine Ping.


After hearing this, Concubine Ping also breathed a sigh of relief.


“That's great. ”


“I think He Deping still intends to show kindness to me. In the future, we can also know one or two things about the Jiaochi Yuan in advance. ”


In fact, the reason why He Deping was arranged was that he desperately needed to atone for his sins. Now that there is such an opportunity in front of him, He Deping can't not go there.


Soon, when Linglu Acadamey is taking in new students, I will pick Xiao Jiu and a few others of the right age to take the test together." Concubine Ping said lightly.


But this shocked Wu Pozi who was puzzled, “This? That Xiao Jiu has never learned to read and write.


 Wouldn't it be a shame if he went to the assessment? ”


Concubine Ping looked helpless and spread her hands, “Oh, it's not easy for me to be a mother. When there is no real Madame Hou in the Hou Mansion, don't I have to bear these obligations? ”


After all, Wu Pozi is the one who stays by her madam’s side all year-round, and after a little thought, she understands.


She grinned, "It's the old slave who didn't figure it out, I'm always confused.”


Madam didn't plan to let Murong Xiude take the exam at all. She could let him take the exam this time, but it was for people outside to see. Didn't your Consort De want to appease the Feng family and attack my Sima family? That's fine. If I cooperate with you, I will follow you to lift up Jiaochi Yuan.






In the Sima family, in the house of the patriarch, when Master Chao Shangshu was sitting at the table, he held the white jade wine bottle in his hand, and finally, gently put it down.


Seeing him like this, the eldest son, who was waiting diligently, hurriedly comforted him.


“My father is worried about the trivial matter of Consort De giving gifts to the one in Jiaochi Yuan? ”


Master Shangshu glanced at the slightly mediocre son, gently twisting his beard.


“Recently, the Erlang of my Sima family has attracted the attention of the one above. Warn the children and grandchildren below not to provoke too much outside recently. The thoughts of the Imperial family can sometimes be revealed from a small movement. My Sima family still caused the ones above dissatisfaction. ”


Sima Tong listened and quickly raised his head, "This child will warn the people in the following rooms not to teach them to go outside and act indiscriminately. ”


Sima Shangshu gently lowered his head. Although this eldest son is a little mediocre in his character, he is still filial, obedient, and capable of success. In the family business, it would be nice to have him and his five sons running around outside. If everyone performs too well, the final ending will be just like that of the Feng family.……


Thinking about it this way, Sima Shangshu felt that his family was like this now, but it was actually very good.


“Tell Ping'er to be kind to that child by her. With us, he can't afford to make any waves. ”


Thinking of the Marquis's attitude, Master Shangshu frowned slightly. However, his daughter hadn't been able to hold the man's heart, and she couldn't get up to the position until now, so he could only sigh in vain.

After Sima Tong responded, he hurriedly went down to do so.


Concubine Ping was silent for a while after hearing the words brought by her father and sneered while wringing her handkerchief.


“What do you mean, you have been staring at me... for so many years, if I had been more favored by you at home, why would he Marquis bother to leave me in the cold to such a point. ”


Thinking of this, she slapped the table fiercely in anger.


On one side, Mama Qiao and the others just held their breath.


After Concubine Ping finished her anger, she still had to order the people below. Serve the people in Jiaochi Yaun well.


Turning around, Mama Qiao muttered to Wu Pozi.


"Actually, the madam had decided to let the child take the exam. But Master Shangshu has to say something like this... Obviously, he still doesn't like her.”


Wu Pozi listened, but her heart was like a mirror.


As for a woman like Concubine Ping, who was not favored in her natal hose, why she was included in the Marquis Manor back then was not because she was favored.


If not, how could she only be a concubine in the first place? If it hadn't been for the previous Madam’s death, she would have only been a concubine for a lifetime.





The new enrollment event of Linglu Acadamy is about to arrive, and Shen Xiangwan got the news that made her excited for the first time: Murong Xiude is going to take the exam.


“Murong Xiude is going to take the exam, which means that Xiao Qi will also come. When the time comes, they will get rid of the cage that is the Marquis Manor. Outside here, I can nourish their bodies. ”


When she thought of taking care of Xiao Qi by herself and restoring his body, she was joyous like a little oriole, looking at everyone with a big smile.


And because of her happy mood, Shen Xiangwan deliberately moved a pot of flowers to Murong Rongzhi.


“Young Master, this pot of camellia will be given to you. You have to take good care of it. ”


“Isn't it just a pot of camellia,?”Murong Rongzhi was very disdainful, but still waved his hand and motioned for San Huayu to take the flowers.


The things given by the stinky girl are disgusting, but they have to be accepted anyway.


Shen Xiangwan declined to follow, pouting, "Master, do you know that this pot of flower is the eighteenth that I managed to plant successfully? Do you think this is an ordinary camellia? Just the seeds of this kind of flower are hard to ask for. I asked for five seeds and only cultivated three. Now I have given one to you. If you still dislike it, please return it to this slave.”


She wanted to get back the gift she gave away.


However, in line with the principle of not accepting for nothing, Murong Rongzhi would never return it.


 Looking at the pot of ink-colored camellia with joy, “The little girl gave it to me, and this Young Master will reluctantly accept it.


Shen Xiangwan turned around angrily and continued to take care of her camellia.


In her previous life,  she had taken care of the camellia, and she had followed that one with her heart, so she knew how to take care of it.


Waiting for Shen Xiangwan to turn around, Murong Rongzhi looked at the camellia in front of him seriously.


“San Huayu, you said that this camellia is really as good as that stinky girl said? Why does this master think it sounds like a lie? ”


In his opinion, this is an ordinary camellia plant. If you really look at the appearance, you will be more upright. I really can't tell from the side.


San Huayu didn't understand either, just scratched his head. “Master, I just looked at the flowers planted by Wan Girl, which were very festive and pleasing to look at. ”


“Festive, likable? "Murong Rongzhi was taken aback when he heard it, but immediately understood, ”Haha, it is indeed pleasing, especially my favorite peony, which looks like the most pleasing, just like that girl…"


While he was talking, a fluttering girl walked by slowly and shyly. When she heard Murong Rongzhi, her apricot face was blushing.


“Mudan has met Young Master Murong! ”
