“Madam, the boy said, it's double happiness. "The old lady on one side noticed that she was so happy, so she hurriedly reminded her. 


     “Ah, double happiness, what else is there? “Ping Yinang also realized that she had made a gaffe, so she hurriedly asked. 


     “Responding to madam, it so happens that the ninth son of our mansion has also been admitted! ”


     “Who are you talking about? “Ping Yiniang's smile condensed, and she and Wu Pozi both glanced at each other, and they both saw the disbelief in each other's eyes. 


     "Madam, it's Master De, Jiu Gongzi.”


      Ping Yiniang stood up shakily. "Murong Xiude! De'er!"    


 Perceiving  Ping Yiniang's gaffe, the boy who came to report also changed his expression slightly. 


     When it came to Wu Pozi, seeing that the situation was not right, she quickly squeezed a piece of broken silver in her hand and gave it to the boy. 


     “Okay, you can go on, our madam is just so happy. ”


     “Yes, with such a big event, it's no wonder that the lady will be gaffe-prone. ”


     The kid was rewarded, so he quickly turned around and left. 


     Ping-shi widened her eyes, closed her eyes, and then opened them fiercely, looking at Wu Pozi in disbelief. 

     “Wu Pozi,  you are the one I brought from my natal house. What do you think of this person, Murong Xiude? ”


     Both Wu Pozi and Qiao Pozi were people who were dedicated to her. When she heard this, her face became cold, "Madam, no matter what, this Murong Xiude concealed his ability. However, what I am most wondering now is how he is studying in this backyard. He can read and write a basic essay. After all, the beginner assessment of Linglu Academy also needs a simple essay to assess. However, he is only recently learning in the backyard from He Deping……”


    Ping-shi sneered and twisted her handkerchief, “Needless to say, we have been deceived by others. However, I kind of understand what he said now. ”


     Wu Pozi was curious, thinking of when Murong Xiude had come to find Ping-shi and the two had talked in the house for a while. Afterward, the lady asked someone to withdraw the two servants sent. Only an old one and a young one were left as companions. 


     "At the beginning, although the kid was very cowardly, he blushed and told me that he could not take that position in the future, and was dedicated to assisting and supporting my Yu’er. At that time, I only thought of him as a demented person. But now it seems that this kid is really capable of such. At a young age, he can conceal his true talents. At this critical moment, he stands out.  If I ignore him again, the world only will give me a reputation of being jealous. Good calculation!Good calculation!”


     Wu Pozi was also shocked when she heard this. She sighed that a small child can calculate people's hearts and the way ahead to such a point. Is this just a child who is only a few years old? 


     “So madam, we don't need to target him too much now. However, we still must watch him. If he wants to grow up smoothly, it depends on what those people in the mansion think, right? ”


     Ping-shi received Wu Pozi's cold eyes and smiled approvingly. 


     “Yes, it's still you who thinks about it thoroughly. This matter is indeed not something he can decide. How many children have died halfway through the journey? ”


     Why should she bother to worry about such a child whose father doesn't care and whose mother is not here? As long as she applies a few subtleties, no matter how wise he is, in the end, will he not fall into the palm of her hand the same way. Thinking of this, Ping-shi smiled again. 


    “Well,  you should treat him as you should treat him. Today, De'er was admitted, which is a great joy for our main branch anyway. Let the people in the kitchen r prepare a few more dishes. In the evening, I will eat with De'er, Qiuyu, and Yuan'er. ”


     “Young Master...”

     In the backyard, Qing Guo’er yelled loudly as soon as he entered the yard. 


     “Why is it so noisy? ”


     “Admitted, admitted, Linglu Academy, really admitted. ”


     Murong Xiude smiled faintly, “Hmm. ”


     Qing Guo'er looked at the calm Young Master but was a little bit overwhelmed. He walked up a few steps, “Young Master, aren't you happy?”


     “Happy "Murong Xiude raised his eyebrows, lowered his head, and continued to read the book. With that majestic and calm look. 


Qing Guo’er, who was looking straight at him, shook her head in a playful manner. 


     “Oh, sometimes, I really wonder if you are a child who is only a few years old. If ordinary people hear this news, I'm afraid they would be overjoyed. Only you don't care much…”


     Murong Xiude smiled slightly, raised his head, and stared at him with dazzling eyes, “This is original is in my expectation, what can I be excited about? ”


     This time, Qing Guo'er was really choked. That's right, his young maser is such a confident person. Now that he has the news, what can be unexpected? 


     “Moreover, if my guess is good, Ping Yiniang will call me to go to her courtyard for dinner tonight? ”


     The little boy put down the book and began to write again. 


     “This...it really is! ”


     “Well, you can go down and prepare some grass dragonflies of the kind I said, and I will bring them to Brother Yu as a gift in a while. ”


    “This... is. “Qing Guo’er was stunned, only to feel that he couldn't see through this young man's thoughts. 


     Xiao Qi, who was recuperating on the bed not far away, listened and rolled his eyes.


     “Cough, Young Master, will Ping Yiniang ask you how you learned to read books and write?" ”


     “It must be questioned, you have to rest,  we will go to the academy together in three days. ”


     Xiao Qi became excited all of a sudden. 


     “Young Master, you mean, I can get out of bed and go to the academy to meet sister Wan'er. Hehe, this is really great. ”

     Murong Xiude glanced at him, “If you want to go, you have to nurture your body well. ”


     “I will, I will, ahem…”


     The little guy stopped talking about being questioned. 


     Murong Xiude said no more. 


     In fact, he had already thought about an answer. When he decided to be admitted to Linglu Academy, he was destined to give an explanation about how he learned to read and write.……







     That night, after Murong Xiude had finished his meal in Ping-she’s courtyard, Wu Pozi was silent for a long time. 


     Until Ping-shi sighed softly. 

     “This child will not die in the future, and he will rise higher and higher every day. ”


     “Yes, madam, this son... can't be let go. ”


     Wu Pozi's eyes became colder. 


     Ping-shi’s complexion was pale. 


     “For so long, he has been hiding from us. It's a pity that he showed his brilliance too early. If he had been ordinary and stayed in the backyard, he may have been able to live longer. 


    Thinking about when she asked the child how he had learned, the child actually replied that there was an old man with a white beard who had been shuttling back and forth to teach him. 


    She can believe such nonsense? 


     Since she can’t get honesty, and his brilliance is beginning to appear, then why should she bother to leave a big hidden danger for her son?……


     The murderous intent suddenly appeared in Ping-shi’s eyes. She nodded softly to the Wu Pozi standing aside and made a gesture of pinching him to death.……
