On the other hand, Gu Qingxue was in the manor, thinking about the implementation of the plan.

In the main hall, Gu Qingxue sat in front of the table, deep in thought as she watched her three little ones studying seriously.

Under Gu Lin’s lead, both Dumby and Lingbao were much more serious than before when they were studying. They read aloud, following the rules, and immediately came to ask Gu Qingxue if there was anything they did not understand.

“What’s wrong with Second Young Master and Young Miss today? Why are you so serious?” Nanny Sheng helped Madam Qi into the hall and took off the thick cloak on her as she spoke.

“Xue’er,” Madam Qi smiled the moment she saw Gu Qingxue. She quickly walked over and sat down beside her.

“They are working so hard because they want to pass the Royal Academy’s test. After the start of spring, the Royal Academy would conduct the annual examination. Only students who pass the test are qualified to study at the Royal Academy. Both of them want to go, so they are studying hard.” As Gu Qingxue spoke, she poured a cup of Madam Qi’s favorite milk tea.

“That’s right, big brother has been specially invited to the Royal Academy. We have also obtained the qualifications to take the exam. We want to go to school with our big brother.” As Dumby spoke, there was a hidden smile in his eyes that could not be hidden.

Gu Lin, who had been quietly reading his book, looked up at him after hearing what he said. “Didn’t I tell you? I don’t plan to go to the Royal Academy for lessons.”

“Big brother, goduncle has specially invited you to go. Why don’t you come with us?” Lingbao took the initiative to approach Gu Lin as she spoke. She reached out and grabbed Gu Lin’s arm, shaking it gently.

Gu Lin’s heart was moved when he saw his sister acting coquettishly.

However, he still shook his head in the end. “I really don’t want to go.”

Dumby’s eyes widened, and even the little daze on his head trembled. “Big brother, you’re lying. You’ve been secretly reading the books that goduncle sent you. I saw it all.”

Gu Qingxue raised her head and looked at Gu Lin. “Lil’ Lin, is what the Dumby said true?

It was her godbrother who said thatshe heard that Gu Lin was talented, so he wanted to invite Gu Lin to the Royal Academy and even gave him a lot of books.

However, Lil’ Lin also told Gu Qingxue that he would not be going to class as soon as he received the gift.

Gu Qingxue did not think much of it at the time. It was only after hearing Lingbao’s words that she realized that her eldest son might not be as carefree as he appeared to be. In fact, he really wanted to go to school.

Gu Lin was exposed by his younger brother, and he could not help but look embarrassed. “Mother, I’m just taking a look.”

There was no way Gu Qingxue would believe Gu Lin’s words. She shot a look at the other two little ones. “You two can leave first. Mother has something to say to your big brother.”

The two little ones nodded obediently, then left hand in hand.

“Old Madam, just now the servants came to report that the kitchen has made your favorite snacks.” Nanny Sheng knew what Madam Qi liked best, so she smiled at her.

As expected, Madam Qi was immediately interested. She stood up and took Gu

Qingxue’s hand. “Xue’er, wait for me here. I’ll bring some snacks for you.”

“Alright,” she said. Gu Qingxue nodded in agreement and watched as Nanny

Sheng left with Madam Qi..
