Mommy, You Lie Again!: Volume 2

By Xiao DuZi

Pei Yu did not know whether it was luck or bad luck. After living for two lifetimes, he had not been able to live past the age of 20. Pei Yu looked at the pitiful glutinous rice ball and asked, "Tell me, am I your mother?" The little blob nodded. Pei Yu pointed at the shabby thatched cottage behind them and asked, "You're saying that this is our house?"

The little blob curled his lips. "Mother, mother, why did you fall so far and become an idiot?" Pei Yu facepalmed and threw the Crown Prince who was following behind him, "Let me introduce you, this is your stupid father." The little blob cried out, "It's over! It's over! Mother really fell stupid! "

AWAY

CHAPTER 101 - FROM KYOTO

Wait! Shen Wei's expression suddenly changed. Her gaze swept out like a sword.

What's wrong? Upon hearing her heavy voice, the little ball immediately tensed up.

There seems to be someone here!

How could that be!

The little group thought that her subordinate had accidentally let out a sound and was discovered, so they hurriedly tried to coax her: Where's there? Where?"

He purposely ran outside randomly, and the noise immediately covered up the low voices.

Seeing him so protective, Shen Wei could only guess or think that he was one of his subordinates. Since that was the case, he couldn't be bothered to deal with it.

But how could they know that a black-clothed man was lying prone on the roof, occasionally staring down at the activity inside the building?

That black clothed figure only appeared for an instant. The special medicinal powder allowed his clothes to change according to the environment. If he didn't look carefully, or if he was revealed due to nervousness, no one would have noticed.

Shen Wei had felt that something was wrong with her breathing just now, so she peeked her eyes out. With that glance, the black-clothed person quickly went into hiding and only revealed himself for a moment.

However, no one noticed.

When he saw that his tracks had been concealed by that little kid, he felt a bit of gratitude in his heart. However, he didn't expect that he would be tortured to death by this child in the future.

It didn't take long for the man in black to disappear into the forest at the foot of the mountain. However, beside the fence in the backyard, there was a small stone with a feather mark on it.

The carrier pigeons arrived quickly, and that flash of white was extremely dazzling in the air. However, Shen Wei and the others were resting inside the house, and only a few villagers who were working on the ground raised their hands to look around, thinking about how to beat up that bird and stew it.

So, there hasn't been anything strange happening in Rao Ping Village recently?

Inside the living room, Du Zhizhou who was sitting on the guest seat casually mentioned the assassination two months ago. Shen Wei slowly replied, but her vague response was unable to give Du Zhizhou any information.

Du Zhibao was starting to get anxious.

Alright, Lord Du. You even have to think about the matters of the imperial court when you're out for a stroll. It has already been two months. And since no one had been killed, those who had done it must have left. You don't want to see the people here being scared, do you?

Shen Wei tried her best to pretend that she was serious, as if she was concerned about the matter as well.

However, in reality, she had long since forgotten about the assassination attempt that day.

It was rather common in the capital for nobles to offend other nobles and then be assassinated. This kind of enmity and grudge should be resolved by them alone. If the government intervened, it would only make things worse.

Of course I don't want to panic. That's why I'm trying so hard to deal with my identity! Coincidentally, yesterday, you and your husband came from a foreign land. Whether it's appearance or knowledge, they don't seem like they came from a small place. I don't know either …

Du Zhizhou casually asked.

Shen Wei wanted to perfunctorily say a few words, but after thinking for a moment, if she continued doing so, Du Zhiru would start suspecting her.

At the start, he had mentioned the matter of the nobles from two months ago being killed, and then mentioned that the three of them didn't seem like locals. The fire last night might have made him even more suspicious.

As a Prefect, it would be useless if he could not relate all these matters together!

Shen Wei secretly thought, clenching her fist from time to time.

We came from the capital. As you know, most of the people from the capital are court officials and merchant families. If they don't have any abilities, then it's natural that they can't stay here any longer.

That's true. Du Zhiruo smiled faintly, I've only been there once, which is the final Hall Competition. It's a pity that I didn't stay for a few more days. If I do that, I'm afraid I won't have the chance to go back in the future!

Shen Wei heaved a sigh of relief when she saw the conversation started to change, We came from the capital and will probably never return! That's right, our identities should have been recorded in the household register in the capital three years ago. But now, I can't guarantee that you're an official, so you understand all this right?

Since she knew that Du Zhisu would not head to the capital this week, and the capital was still several hundred kilometers away, it would take more than half a year's time for her to come and go, so she was no longer afraid.

If he pushed his household register and identity to the capital, Du Zhisu would have to spend a lot of effort to do so!

Shen Wei began to shamelessly praise her strategy.

Mother, you said before that you had never been to the capital, but I still don't know where the capital is! Don't you remember? However, the little bun in Shen Wei's arms opened his mouth.

He stretched out his head and blinked his eyes at Du Zhisu with all his might, as if he was purposely revealing some sort of information.

Even Du Zhizhou felt that this little kid was very strange, but he didn't think much about it.

A little kid like that still wouldn't be able to do anything big in Du Zhisu's eyes.

Child, your memory is really bad. Didn't I tell you to ask your father? Shen Wei calmly turned the little clump's head to the side and then moved her face closer to him, Tell me, where can you not understand?

He gritted his teeth in a threatening manner.

The little blob shrugged his shoulders, stuck out his tongue and ran out.

Shen Wei was too lazy to chase after him, so she brought Du Zhizhou to walk around the new house. However, due to the lack of a ladder, she didn't go up to the second floor.

Du Zhizhou was a scholar, and of course he couldn't bear to walk so often, so they had no choice but to sit in the main room again and drink tea.

While smacking her lips, Shen Wei only smiled, That's right, Master Du, I've earned some silver from selling the pastries and herbs these few days. If possible, help me bring these silver back to Zheng Fuhu!

After saying that, she reached into her bosom and touched her head.

To give 10 taels of silver to Zheng Fuhu, she naturally felt pained.

However, he couldn't bear to part with his child. He couldn't bear to part with Du Zhisu with ten taels of silver.

If she didn't mention the deceiving technique in these two months, Du Zhisu probably wouldn't even know what she was thinking about. Even if he couldn't be a lover, he still needed to be a friend.

Him? I haven't been in touch with him in over a month. He once invited me to visit the Zheng Family. If I reject his invitation, there is no more than one chance and it will be no more than three."

Du Zhizhou's tone of voice was somewhat joyful when he spoke of this matter.

As for these 10 silver taels, I believe that it would be more beneficial to help out the neighbors than to give them to him.

Shen Wei nodded her head repeatedly in her heart. On the surface, she still had to evade as she said, But that one hundred taels, I really took it from him. I wonder how he hates me in his heart …

Forget it. I'll go to the Zheng residence and check his pulse some other day! Even though my medical skills are not very good, but it should be more than enough to deal with his illness! "

Shen Wei said all by herself, causing Du Zhiru to fall into her trap, but Du Zhiru didn't notice at all.

CHAPTER 102 - SOLD PARENTS

Sounds good, but you're a girl, it's best not to go again, lest Brother Qi worry!

Du Zhiru only shook his head, his eyes filled with concern for Shen Wei.

Shen Wei quickly stood up, Master Du, please sit for a while. I'll go make the pastries and then cook. We only need to wait for an hour!

Sorry for troubling you! Du Zhirong thanked her repeatedly. However, after Shen Wei left the hall, his footsteps started to move.

That pair of clear eyes similarly swept over every corner.

As he walked, he smelled a strange scent of oil when he reached the corner of the stairs. He wrinkled his nose.

It wasn't like ordinary cooking oil or meat oil that Shen Wei specially made, the smell of that oil was a little suffocating.

Vaguely, faintly discernible, Du Zhiru was instantly confused.

It smelled exactly the same as the one on the boat two months ago.

That's right, it was kerosene!

He suddenly thought of this key, and his gaze towards the kitchen immediately turned alert.

Master Dean, are you tired?

The jubilant little ball suddenly snuck in, causing his tensed nerves to break immediately. Kacha! Even his head was buzzing.

I'm a bit tired! What about you? Where did you run off to?

I went to my aunt's house to get something to eat. Do you want some? The little bun rubbed his round belly and then carefully took out two pieces of osmanthus cake that had already hardened.

This was given to Aunt by Mother a few days ago. Aunt kept it and didn't eat it. I starved to death, but I didn't have any money at home, so I asked for a few pieces!

As he spoke, he took out the osmanthus cake.

In a short moment, the tender yellow osmanthus cake was placed into a small heart shape.

Master Du, I'll tell you in secret. My mother and father aren't real husband and wife. If you want to chase after my mother, then you have to do something quickly!

The little group secretly peeked outside. Seeing that no one was around, they quickly explained everything. They even pointed at the osmanthus cake on the table, Look, you're so smart. You'll definitely understand, right?

Du Zhiru naturally understood.

He had probably guessed that Yuwen Xuan and Shen Wei weren't real husband and wife. He just couldn't figure out why Shen Wei would sacrifice her reputation to cover up this matter.

However, the little blob's words filled him with fighting spirit, You like me being your father?

Don't you want to ask who my biological father is? The little blob rolled his eyes. Obviously, he felt that he had overestimated Du Zhizhou.

Du Zhizhou finally reacted, and he looked at the little clump with a probing gaze.

What's going on with your family? Du Zhiru pursed his lips, puzzled.

But just as he finished asking, he regretted it. Why did he tell the truth to the little group? If Yuwen Xuan and Shen Wei were truly unfriendly, wouldn't his question be exposed?

Is it just because he inexplicably believes that Shen Wei is a good person?

Du Zhiru felt his head churn as he could not understand what was going on.

Hahaha, I lied to you. What did you think it was? The little blob walked around him before making a face. Do you think that my mother is too young to be my mother?

Du Zhizhou fell silent.

He could not figure out what the child in front of him was thinking.

Moreover, his thoughts had been seen through. This feeling was as if he had been completely exposed in front of a small group of people. It was really shameful, yet at the same time, flustered.

Tsk, just say whatever you want to say. This is how our family works! The little blob shrugged his shoulders, put his feet on the stool, and swung his legs in the air.

In the past, they also mocked us like that. I've already gotten used to it. Children don't play with me, and they even want to hit me. However, I don't want to make my aunt feel uncomfortable. This is why I don't say anything, nor do I ask anything.

Actually, I'm really not my mother's biological son. Moreover, my mother and Qi Dabao aren't husband and wife either. Mother is my biological father's little sister, so she can be considered a little family jade. But now, I'm picking wild vegetables in the village to spend my days. I'm still young, and can't help with anything, sigh …"

The little clump's sigh was just right, and it immediately pulled Du Zhizhou's thoughts away.

However, Du Zhiru, who was immersed in the story, didn't notice the crafty glint in the eyes of the little clump at all.

That Qi Dabao is the son of our housekeeper!

The moment the little ball said these words, Du Zhizhou and Yuwen Xuan, who was outside the door, immediately coughed dryly.

However, one of them was surprised while the other was angry.

This Qi Junfu, taking advantage of his absence, had actually started to get on good terms with Du Zhizhou?

Yuwen Xuan took a step forward and walked in. She could not help but glare at the little blob, Jun, come over here!

Aiya, Da Bao, you came back at the right time. Tell Master Du, is it true?

The little group was deliberately belittling Yuwen Xuan.

He wanted to make Yuwen Xuan's reputation worse so that she wouldn't be able to stay here any longer.

He knew that the unknown assassin's guild had already started sending people over. He also didn't know when they would arrive, and he and Shen Wei must leave before they did. And Yuwen Xuan absolutely could not follow.

Moreover, mother also said that you used to cheat and cheat in the capital ah. In order to help you, mother had concealed your identity so that you wouldn't be killed by an unknown enemy! You say, didn't you escape to this little village to save your life?"

The little blob of wood jumped down from the high stool and stood in front of Yuwen Xuan, raising his head.

Cough, cough, cough! Du Zhiru had already turned his body to the other side, no longer paying attention to the grudge between the two of them.

It really didn't seem as terrible as he thought, but it shouldn't be as terrible as the little group said, right?

Seeing that he had the backing of Master Du, the little ball couldn't help but spout out nonsense, Tell me, what did my mother say to you at that time? Hmph, mother thought that she could fool me in the beginning, but who would have thought that with my intelligence, I found out that something was wrong. That's why mother told me everything!

What are you guys talking about? Why are you guys so happy?

Shen Wei had just steamed the pastries when she heard that the hall was extremely lively and walked over. However, she didn't expect that the moment she finished speaking, she would see Yuwen Xuan's face that was so dark it could drip ink.

Eh, he didn't seem happy.

It's nothing much, the king should be overjoyed after a few days! I suddenly remembered that there are some matters in the yamen, so I won't stay to eat. You must be careful in the future, since the weather is dry now, if a fire were to be ignited, I'm afraid that half of the mountain would be burned. At that time, things would be bad.

Shen Wei hurriedly nodded her head.

After all, she admitted she was a slob.

Mr Dean, please stay for a while. I haven't finished chatting with you! Seeing the ominous glint in Yuwen Xuan's eyes, the little group hurriedly went to pull Du Zhou.

CHAPTER 103 - USING POWER FOR PRIVACY

However, although Du Zhiru had a smile on his face, he was extremely terrified in his heart.

This family could no longer be described with the word strange. If there was a chance, he would definitely go to the capital and ask which family Shen Wei and Qi Dabao came from.

In the future, he would have to avoid this little Monarch a bit.

Without batting an eyelid, he pushed the little ball away and said, Dear Jun, your mother and father are both back. Have fun with them. When I have time, I'll definitely bring you a little present!

Sure, sure! However, not only did the small ball not retreat, it also had to climb up Du Zhizhou's body.

Seeing the awkward expression on Du Zhizhou's face, Shen Wei went up and slapped the little clump's butt, causing the little clump to scream out wow wow.

Mother, what are you doing? It's not like I'm talking bad about you to Lord Du!

Wuu! My apologies, your highness is feeling wronged! Noticing that the situation was not going well, the little blob quickly covered his eyes and ran out.

Du Zhizhou slipped away even faster.

Shen Wei looked at the gloomy Yuwen Xuan, then looked at the little cluster of anger on Yuwen Xuan's head, and immediately crossed her arms. Speak, what happened? If you can't explain it, then don't eat!

Mother, the monarch is hungry. The monarch wants to eat! The moment the little blob heard that there was no food to eat, it immediately ran over. Just as it was about to throw itself into Shen Wei's embrace, Shen Wei's palm stopped it in its tracks.

He let out a huff huff and dived in. For a while, he didn't make any progress.

This nephew of yours is quite shrewd. From the looks of it, it's time to go to school.

That's right! When Shen Wei heard the word academy, she also reacted.

Hu Zi had already gone to the academy at the head of the city, while Little Dan had not even gone to the academy in the town. The difference in age between the two wasn't that great.

Little blob, do you want to …

I'm not going!

Before Shen Wei could finish her words, the little blob of her shook her head. She desperately clung onto Shen Wei, treating Yuwen Xuan as a great enemy.

You're using your power to steal. The little clump of people snorted. The words that came out of it caused Shen Wei and Yuwen Xuan to be a little embarrassed.

It was time to go to the academy.

Shen Wei thought about the free silver on her hands and planned what she was going to do next. Indeed, she and Yuwen Xuan can do more things if they send this annoying little group to the school.

When you get to the academy, remember to ask mister what you mean by 'using your power for personal gains'. Then you can teach mama, okay? Shen Wei pursed her lips and laughed, patting the little cluster of heads.

However, the little blob had to turn its head to the other side, looking at Yuwen Xuan with a sharp gaze.

You think I'm doing this on purpose? Yuwen Xuan noticed the look in the small ball of light and put her head close to it as she asked.

His tone sounded very ordinary, but his eyes were as dark as the abyss.

The little ball of light looked over and was shocked.

Of course not!

With Shen Wei here, the little blob couldn't say anything to Yuwen Xuan in case he got beaten up again.

No, I'll go to the academy with you tomorrow to have a look! Yuwen Xuan's lips couldn't help but curl up into a smile as she looked at the small ball of wrinkled eyebrows.

I don't want to go! Mother, I went to the academy, but no one came with you to dig wild vegetables. No one cooked pastries with you in the kitchen, and no one bought things in the city with you! The little bun pouted his little mouth and desperately rubbed against Shen Wei's chest.

However, Shen Wei ignored him.

Good boy, you are tired of digging wild vegetables in the mountains. How good is it to go to school, and you can even read a few more words before you can become a high ranking official! He would go to school every day, but he could still make pastries together in the evening. If you want to buy anything, mother will buy it for you! "

Every suggestion he made was rejected by Shen Wei.

Shen Wei was already secretly delighted in her heart.

He could finally get the cute time bomb away from him for the time being.

However, she did feel a bit sorry for that academy teacher. He had heard from sister-in-law Qi that she was an old man so old that he could barely speak, yet she insisted on attending class.

The rules for entering the academy were the same as what was passed down from the ancient times. They only needed to send a few bundles of cured meat.

He was saving money.

I... I'm tired, I'm going to bed! The little group saw that his own words were of no use at all. They were so angry that they wanted to go to the second floor, but the ladder had yet to be mounted. He could only watch as the arrangement on the second floor sulked.

Alright alright, it's just going to school! This place is not a private school, if it were a private school, you would have to start reading since you were three! "

Shen Wei harrumphed. Really, this place was too far from the capital. It was truly remote. Most of the children were from the village. They were three or four years old and were catching mudfish in the sky. They would be able to learn from the craftsmen before they were a few years old.

But now, she knew about the matter of Hu Zi's studies from his wife. Although it was just a casual conversation, she was able to come up with a general idea in the blink of an eye.

When every child reaches a certain age, regardless of whether the family has money or not, they all have to go to school. The teachers of the academy could not distinguish children based on their family background.

As a result, there were more scholars.

Good, good! If you're going, then go! The little ball gritted its teeth. Seeing that Shen Wei and Yuwen Xuan were colluding with each other, it wished that it could step forward and slap Yuwen Xuan away.

He truly regretted not letting Yuwen Xuan leave earlier.

This Yuwen Xuan must want to let him go so he can do something to Shen Wei. He must be careful!

As he thought and was angry, the night passed.

The little ball fell into a deep sleep before it could finish its dinner. Yuwen Xuan could not force Shen Wei, so she could only carry the little group to the second floor.

His ears still echoed with the words that Little Bundle had said to him before Du Zhiruo, only feeling that Little Bundle and Shen Wei really resembled each other.

Shen Wei also said that it was because he had a lover outside that …

He was a little angry in his heart, but when he lowered his head and looked at the little ball of fat on his face, all the anger was gone in an instant.

If you and Shen Wei really aren't my enemy, how nice would that be? Yuwen Xuan softly chanted and carefully placed the little ball on the bed. She then closed the small window for him and tucked him in.

Such concern was akin to the concern of a father.

If he was in the capital, how could he treat others like this?

Yuwen Xuan could not help but mock herself.

When he went downstairs, Shen Wei was already humming a tune as she washed the dishes in the kitchen. He clearly didn't want to think about it, but that strange and strange voice kept rushing into his mind.

Even in her dreams, it was still Shen Wei and the little ball of music.

The next day, just as the sun rose from the horizon, Shen Wei picked up the ball and put it in the living room.

The sleepy looking little blob snorted a few times, but immediately lost his temper when he saw Shen Wei pretending to be angry.

You two go to town after breakfast. I asked sister-in-law Qi yesterday. The academy isn't far away, it's only an hour's time for walking!"

CHAPTER 104 - IF YOU HAVE A GRUDGE REMEMBER IT FIRST

Alright! Yuwen Xuan quickly finished the food and stared at the little ball.

The bitter little ball wanted to cry, but Steamed Bun held back the tears.

I have prepared some pastries for the teachers in the academy. Bring it to them and say some good words! Did you hear that? " Shen Wei carefully warned him, but found that Yuwen Xuan was fighting with the little group with her eyes. She immediately amplified her voice.

Yuwen Xuan was shocked by the voice and nodded her head.

Let's go!

I haven't finished yet! The little bun ate for half a quarter of an hour without moving. Under Shen Wei's gaze, Yuwen Xuan directly brought out the little ball.

Don't touch my new clothes. If they're broken, I'll definitely complain to my mother! Seeing that they had already walked out of the fence, the little blob understood that there was no hope of returning. Today, he was bound to go to the academy to fight as he stared with all his might at Yuwen Xuan.

Complaints, don't you usually complain? Not only was Yuwen Xuan not angry, she even smiled slightly.

When the little ball saw that smile, it became even angrier.

That is different from what we have now! The little clump gritted his teeth, and after a long while, he finally managed to squeeze out those words.

I'm hungry, give me some pastries!

The two had just walked out of the village when the little ball began to covet the neatly wrapped pastries in Yuwen Xuan's hands.

Yuwen Xuan naturally did not give it to him.

If you want me to go to school, why aren't you eating till I'm full! I hate you! As he spoke, the little blob bent its neck and crashed into Yuwen Xuan's waist with all its strength, just like an old bull.

Yuwen Xuan instinctively avoided it, but as soon as she saw the tree trunk behind her, she could only stand still and allow him to collide with her.

However, the strength of this child was beyond his imagination.

Even if you hate it, it's useless. You have to go! Unless you can convince your mother! Yuwen Xuan raised her cake into the air. She couldn't even reach the little ball by standing on her tiptoes, so she could only turn her head and walk forward.

However, he was in a hurry to leave. Soon, he was out of breath.

You clearly told me to go to the academy! You big scoundrel, you can't beat me in terms of logic, so you came here to play dirty tricks! He kept muttering to himself, his hand on his waist as he ran towards a big tree. I can't walk anymore, I need to rest!"

No, I'll carry you!

Yuwen Xuan was clearly aware of the little group's thoughts. If they continued to dawdle like this, they would not even reach noon in the next hour.

Back? I don't want you to carry it! " The little blob gritted his teeth as he spoke, but his legs were aching so badly that he couldn't even take a step. After only taking a few steps, he started to tremble.

Alright, stop trying to be brave. Come on up! Yuwen Xuan looked at him helplessly. It's not that you're asking for help, but it's my son, the housekeeper, who asked for it. Is that okay?

This little kid was really stubborn!

The moment the little bundle heard these words, it raised its head high and obediently lay on Yuwen Xuan's back.

If I go to the academy, will I be beaten?

Why are you getting beaten? Yuwen Xuan was immediately confused.

Hu Zi was beaten up before. His palms turned red from the beating, and he's about to bleed! The more he said, the more scared he became.

He did not want to be tortured to death in the academy before he returned to the Qi Kingdom.

This Shen Wei, she has really changed a lot!

The group of students read aloud in unison, and the moment they arrived at the academy's entrance, they immediately woke up from their stupor.

Yuwen Xuan had put her down before she could recover her wits. Her legs went weak and she almost fell to the ground.

He raised his head again and saw the faint cunning in Yuwen Xuan's eyes. He immediately gnashed his teeth.

Hmph, he already knew that this Yuwen Xuan wasn't some good thing. She actually took the initiative to carry him. She definitely wanted to humiliate him!

I wonder who you are … The butler guarding the school gate asked respectfully when he saw them coming over.

Yuwen Xuan then opened her mouth, I heard that the academy has opened for school in the past few days and my child also wishes to come over to receive Teacher's tutelage. I wonder if Teacher has the time right now to meet me?

As the little group listened to these seemingly attentive words, the hatred in their hearts towards Yuwen Xuan increased.

He didn't want to come here to spread his knowledge, he just wanted to accompany Shen Wei and wait for the right time to return to the Qi Kingdom.

The power of the Qi Kingdom was now in the hands of the so-called emperor. The king's third prince had become the so-called crown prince, and he, who was originally the crown prince, had only become a rumor in the mouths of the citizens of the Qi Kingdom.

He had to go back!

When he returned and became the emperor, he would teach Yuwen Xuan a good lesson!

As he was thinking, his head was suddenly smacked. He quickly raised his head and saw the butler sizing him up: The child looks pretty smart, but aren't these legs a bit too bad?

Of course, it's not that I don't like children with bad legs. I just want to ask first and let you know about these matters in the future!

When the butler saw that the little clump's expression did not look good, he hurriedly changed his words.

Yuwen Xuan had laughed out loud from the bottom of her heart.

He must have walked a lot along the way! Yuwen Xuan calmly said and then pretended to stroke her head. Every glance she threw was filled with meaning.

He stepped forward and pulled Yuwen Xuan's large hand. Yes, yes, there are still some paths. Daddy wanted me to train by myself, so he walked for a long time before he could carry me on his back. Only then did I get injured!

When the butler heard these words, he looked at Yuwen Xuan with slight disdain.

Such an extraordinary man was actually training a young child like this. No one could bear to see such a sight.

Yuwen Xuan immediately understood what was going on, but she couldn't be bothered to follow the little group's instructions.

Right now, it was better to settle on the matter of school first.

Uncle, where should we go to wait for mister?

Follow me! The butler snorted and walked inside. As he led the way for Yuwen Xuan, he also told them not to cause too much noise.

The little bundle seized the opportunity to scratch Yuwen Xuan's palm like a chicken claw. Naturally, Yuwen Xuan could not bear this kind of torture and threw him off.

Of course, he quickly used his other hand to catch it the moment he shook it off.

Child, I've said that I will bring you to see mister. You still need to study with the children. Sigh, I really can't take it anymore. How come a child like you, who likes to study, is born in my family?!

The little bun's arm was grabbed again. He really was like a little chick that couldn't move at all.

The steward looked back and only shook his head. I've lived for so long and I've only seen people who don't want to study. I didn't expect to see someone who wants to study. How strange!

The butler stroked his white beard and walked towards the hall of the academy. The moment he passed through the small path and saw the location of the hall, he stopped.

I won't bring you in. It's already past the middle of the morning. They can recite for an hour and Teacher should be resting in the hall. You should go and ask!

CHAPTER 105 - I'LL GIVE YOU THE MONEY YOU GO

Thank you, uncle! Yuwen Xuan was originally not a worldly person, and she rarely interacted with others. However, in the past two months, he had made some progress when dealing with the villagers.

The little group of people snorted from the side as they unwillingly followed Yuwen Xuan into the hall.

Monarch, it's a pleasure to meet you again! Yuwen Xuan spotted an old man who was over the age of sixty by the side of the calligraphy and hurriedly pulled the little ball over to pay her respects.

The little clump pursed her lips. Under his control, she could only act.

Qi Junfu greets you!

Sure, what are you two doing here? Only after hearing the voice did Mister realize that there was someone there. Thus, he slowly opened his cloudy eyes.

When he saw the cute look on the little bun's face, he immediately stood up while leaning on his walking stick.

Kid, are you coming here to study? His voice was filled with surprise.

Yuwen Xuan repeatedly nodded her head: This child is already five years old. It's time to study!

Five years old! The teacher pondered for a while. His hand that was stroking his beard was full of spots and wrinkles. Can I go to school at the age of five …

Can you recite it? When the little blob heard this, even Mister was perplexed. His heart was immediately filled with pleasant surprise.

This was his only chance of escape.

Is it not possible? The little bun was anxious. However, Mister raised his head and pretended to be deep in thought. After a long while, he was unable to say a word. Then, he asked again.

Yuwen Xuan saw the situation and covered his small mouth.

Mmm mmm … The little bun tightly gripped Yuwen Xuan's waist, but Yuwen Xuan did not suffer any pain and remained standing in place respectfully.

The little group brought about their own embarrassment. After a long while, they stood there dejectedly.

It doesn't seem possible! In the academy, you can only enter when you are six. You still need a year! " As he spoke slowly, he began to walk around the little group on his cane.

Six years old? Yuwen Xuan also felt that it was a little strange.

Back then, when he opened the academy according to Pei Yu, he had asked the officials to set a standard age for entering the academy based on the considerations of the various places. At that time, he was indeed five years old.

Sir, did you remember wrongly? Five years old should be okay, right? Didn't the imperial government stipulate that one could attend the academy at the age of five?

Yuwen Xuan continued to ask with a slight ripple on her face.

As a crown prince, he was naturally furious if he found out that the decree had not been fully implemented by the officials.

Was this the flaw of the palace in the depths?

He thought to himself, but Mister had already finished his recollection and was still shaking his head, No, no, although I am old, I still remember the rule that appears every year. Only at the age of six can you enter the academy. You can't do it at the age of five, you can't!

If you don't believe me, you can ask the Prefect. He should have an order for you to come down from there! As he spoke, the cane in his hand was knocked to the ground, letting out a crisp sound.

You child, come back next spring! Although I am happy for this clever child, I still have to follow the instructions of the imperial government. I cannot make an exception!"

Well then, Monarch, thank you very much!

Yuwen Xuan felt slightly disappointed.

Last night, he and Shen Wei had solemnly vowed to let the little group enter the academy, but he didn't expect that they were too young.

Could it be that the regulations were changed by the government officials everywhere after they arrived at every place?

It was really strange.

And just as Yuwen Xuan was talking to her teacher, the little blob had already suppressed its excitement.

Thank you for telling me that you will definitely come to the academy to study in the early spring of next year. Thank you for your kind intentions, sir! He clenched his small hands tightly, afraid that he would accidentally let the pain he was faking disappear.

Teacher, this is the pastries mother made herself. Take it as a thank you gift!

The little bun was so happy that he pushed the pastries that he had been wanting to eat into the arms of the mister. Before the mister could refuse, he already ran out with his legs spread wide open.

The teacher looked at Yuwen Xuan with a puzzled face. Yuwen Xuan had no choice but to cover up for him and said, This child will cry if I don't study for him. Sigh. If it wasn't for him being too young to enter, my mother and I would have thought of a way to solve other problems! There's really nothing we can do about it now!

So that's how it is. He was afraid that we would see him cry! Sir lifted his hand to touch his face, his eyes seemed to be filled with tears, Sir, I am on the verge of death, and finally met a child who really likes to study! Is his name Qi Junfu? When I'm free in the future, I can ask him to come to my house. I will definitely teach him alone!"

Aiyo, such a child, such a good sapling. We can't waste it …

Yuwen Xuan nodded again and again. When she felt that she could no longer continue acting, she bowed and left.

After walking out of the academy for quite a distance, he quickened his pace to chase up to the little rascal who seemed to be running.

Are you that afraid of studying?

Not afraid! Mother, I am very powerful, so I don't need to study! No matter how much she tried to move, she could not move. Only then did she turn her head and stare at Yuwen Xuan.

Causation? Yuwen Xuan half-bent down and asked. The little blob was immediately confused.

How could he understand the meaning of causal relationships? However, he could see that Yuwen Xuan had a slightly dissatisfied smile on her face.

As long as it was like this, he would be satisfied in his heart.

Whatever you want to say, I just can't go to school, la la la la. I can dig wild vegetables up the mountain with my mother! You idiot, you don't have any use for words, do you? After the little blob left Yuwen Xuan's control, it hurriedly ran forward a few steps. Only then did it turn around and make a face at Yuwen Xuan.

Yuwen Xuan had already come up with a plan to deal with this a long time ago. She only wanted to make this little ball happy for an hour!

Later on, he would see how the little blob cried.

Hmm, it is quite useless. It seems that I have to plan everything out thoroughly next time!

That's right, that's right! As for Yuwen Xuan, she calmly walked forward as if nothing had happened.

Why aren't you angry?

It took a while for the little blob to realize that Yuwen Xuan's emotions were off.

But how could Yuwen Xuan let the little ball suspect him?

What's the use of getting angry? If I were to be angry with you, I would have already been angered to death! This world will still belong to me in the future, so why should I get angry at you here? Yuwen Xuan kept asking questions in response to his questions as usual, causing the small cluster of people to be speechless.

That's true. You're the crown prince … The little clump of people glanced at him, and his voice suddenly turned heavy.

He himself was also the crown prince, but why was there such a huge gap between him and the crown prince?

You've recovered from your injuries, why didn't you leave?

The little blob retreated a few steps and came close to Yuwen Xuan's side and casually asked.

You can't leave without your subordinates! Yuwen Xuan guessed that he was probing and pretended to answer with a serious expression.

Unable to contact him? The little blob's voice paused for a moment. After some thought, he opened his mouth again, Then I'll give you money. Hurry up and leave, okay?

CHAPTER 106 - BUY A SILVER NEEDLE

Why do you want me to go so much? Could it be that you and Shen Wei are descendants of a great thief and are afraid of being discovered by me? Yuwen Xuan knew that she still couldn't ask anything, so she had mentally prepared herself long ago. Naturally, she was just teasing him.

However, the little blob was getting serious.

He turned his face away and calmed himself down. After a while, he smiled and replied, Tsk, I was afraid that you would stay here and affect the marriage between my mother and Master Du. I was still hoping that the two of them could get married and let me live a good life!

"Heh, if I leave, I'll definitely bring Shen Wei
