Ethnology?!

Shen Jun sneered.

This big brother of his was truly quick-witted. Just a single Du Yicheng was enough to cause so many schemes to appear.

It was a lie that he wanted to open another clan study, and that he wanted to use this to win over the House of the Marquis of Yongping. How could he be so good at scheming?!

The younger brother looked at him mockingly. Master Shen pretended not to see him and continued, "There isn't any good academies in the Eternal Ping Mansion. It just so happens that Master Mu Yu Mu, who stayed in the Han Lin Courtyard, is here to offer his services. I just received a letter from him yesterday. With my friendship with him, he should be willing to take care of you. "

The mockery on Shen Jun's smiling face intensified.

He knew Mu Yu. The people of Yongping Prefecture came from a scholarly background. From the very beginning, they had been appointed to the Han Forest Academy from the seventh grade, and then transferred to XX. Their political achievements were quite good. Since he was too stubborn and old-fashioned, he went back to the capital and became a fifth-grade official. Because he offended someone, he was demoted and returned to Han Lin Yuan to be an editor.

This person should be less than forty years old this year, yet he wanted to address the official. It seemed like he wouldn't be able to stay in the imperial court any longer.

The Mu Family was originally a small family. For several generations, Mu Yu was only an official. If he offended a noble in the capital, he would inevitably continue to live on.

Given his current predicament, he probably would be willing to return to the Yongping Estate and become a teacher.

It was just that his elder brother had come to teach a student like this, and he wasn't afraid of making his nephews turn into idiots.

"Big Bro thinks it's feasible?!" Shen Jun laughed as he thought about it, but still asked.

Old Master Shen still understood his little brother. Smiling, he said, "But to have him enlighten the children and teach them to read their books. When they grow up, they will naturally deliver it to the Crown Prince."

His heart was pretty big.

Shen Jun smiled as he listened to his words, then fell silent. His purpose here was to tear down the other party's seat as well, and not to speak any further in front of Du Yicheng. He would probably send a message to the Eternal Ping Mansion, saying that he would be running a clan school.

It was unknown which eye Crown Prince Yongping was blind in, but he felt that his big brother was a man of exceptional knowledge!

Sure enough, Master Shen saw that he didn't have any intentions of objecting, so he chuckled and said that he would invite one of his disciples to his clan to learn too. After that, he left.

It seemed that the mansion would not be able to quiet down.

Shen Jun smiled as he thought of the future generations of his clan. The name of the 'Shen Family' and the disciples of other families was an extraordinary word. His big brother wanted to use this to win over the hearts of others, but he didn't think about what would happen if all of these juniors were proud and arrogant.

If that was the case, then he would have to put in a lot of effort and offend a bunch of things.

However, Shen Jun Xiao had his own plans. Even though he couldn't write a single word like Shen, with the experiences from his previous life, he knew that he would only be used to get close to her. In any case, he was a direct descendant of the Shen family, so he will continue to revitalize this branch.

Shen Jun smiled as he held the book once again, focusing all of his attention on those obscure words.

Her first reaction was that this was something she hadn't done in her previous life, and the second was that her life was coming to an end.

Hearing Old Madam Shen's words, the group of girls had to go as well, because the oldest boy in the family was only five years old. No matter what, he had to show off. Therefore, they were just there to make up for the amount!

Her father couldn't just relax. It would be better to try and coax her mother instead.

Xiu Ying silently criticized her unreliable father in her heart. Madam Feng led her back to the courtyard, and from afar, they saw Aunt Cui kneeling in front of the courtyard door. Her figure was slim, perhaps she had knelt for too long, but she seemed to be on the verge of collapse as she followed the willow branches flying in the wind. Just looking at it made one feel pity.

It was a pity that her father was not around when she knelt.

They felt pity was useless!

Madam Feng held onto Xiu Ying without even looking at Aunt Cui, and walked past her into the courtyard. Shen Lian, who was following behind her, felt sorry for her mother, and suddenly knelt down as well, shouting, "Mother, please spare my aunt this time. Aunt's body can't take it anymore, her legs will be crippled if this goes on!"

Madam Feng did not want to argue. Hearing this, Xiu Ying's heart became angry, and she struggled to stand on the threshold, looking down at the mother and daughter. "Little sister, you have to be careful with your words." Aunt Cui made a mistake. My mother did not say anything harsh, and this punishment came from my grandmother herself. Yet, the words you spit out are referring to my mother's mistreatment of my concubine? "

Shen Lian was left speechless. She was shocked and angry, her phoenix eyes flashed with a poisonous light.

Xiu Ying knew that this little Shu girl was usually strong, so she coldly snorted and said with a stern expression, "You don't need to look at me like that. Just with those harsh words you said just now, I will punish you to kneel down with me! To intentionally discredit your mother, you are hinting that your elders are unfair. You can bear all of these crimes! "

This was the second time Shen Lian saw Xiu Ying's expression like this. She stared at her with a gaze that could freeze to the bone, as if she was going to be killed in the next moment. Shen Lian's aura instantly weakened, she did not dare look anymore, and Aunt Cui's heart skipped a beat. She could not let her daughter be involved in this as well, and endured the humiliation of kowtowing.

"Miss, your sister is still young and can't speak, please don't take it to heart."

At this time, the Feng family called out, and Xiu Ying couldn't be bothered with the mother and daughter anymore. She glanced at Shen Lian, whose face was ashen, and walked back into the yard.

"If they want to say it, then say it, why are they wasting their breath on it?" Madam Feng lifted her hand and tapped the tip of her nose, feeling her heart warm.

The once small group of children were now able to protect her.

Xiu Ying intimately pulled her arm and smiled sweetly at her. She must protect her mother and herself in this life!

Aunt Wang had long been waiting with Xiang'er in her arms. When she saw the mother and daughter return, she walked forward with a smile. Brother Xiang extended his arms towards Madam Feng to hug her.

"Brother Xiang really does like Madam." Aunt Wang handed him over, pursing her lips into a smile. "A child knows who treats him the best."

Her words weren't flattery. Madam Feng happily went over to Elder Brother Xiang's face. Elder Brother Xiang laughed loudly while drooling, then waved his small hand in a flurry of joy. This made everyone laugh.

Madam Feng carried Xiang'er in her arms and led her daughter into the room. Only then did Aunt Cui slowly raise her head and coldly watch as the door to the courtyard slowly closed. She thought, why would the Feng Clan be so proud? They had clearly been unpampered for so many years, and why would the old master rely on her so much? If it wasn't for her, she would be the Madam of the Shen Family's residence.

What the hell was she on?!

As Aunt Cui thought of this, her heart trembled. The warm sunlight couldn't dispel the chilliness in her body.

At this moment, Suxue, who was standing to the side, went to help her up. "Aunt, it's time. Let's go back."

Unexpectedly, she slapped Chui Corps' face the moment her hand touched Chui Corps.

Pure Snow's face was tilted to the side as she became stupefied.

Shen Lian was also stunned, staring blankly at Chui Corps who was struggling to stand up. Chui Corps looked expressionlessly at Pure Snow, "Send the old master the supper tonight. You should know what to say and do."

Aunt Cui walked slowly into the distance, her red eyes still staring at nothing. She understood that Mrs Cui was going to give her face, but she did not feel happy at all. Instead, there was a sour feeling in her heart. Her life in the future would definitely not be as easy as it was now …
