Chapter 785

"Great Mistress, it is currently the New Year holiday. The holiday hasn't ended yet, so Lan-ge'er isn't in school."

Biyue said weakly.

Li Wan was startled, and then her face turned even redder.

Today, she really had been a bit muddled.

She had lost her composure.

If one followed the usual schedule,

it was indeed the school's lunch hour at this time.

But it was currently the New Year holiday, and the students were not in class.

Thinking that her rambling just now had been heard by Ping'er and the others,

she felt even more ashamed.

Coughing once, she changed the subject: "Then let us return to the mansion."

Biyue and Suyun exchanged glances, not daring to say anything.

The three mistress and maids returned to the Rongguo Fu.

They did not go to the Rongxi Hall,

but instead returned to their own courtyard.

As soon as they entered the courtyard, they heard the sounds of Jia Lan, Jia Jun, and two other children playing and laughing.

The other two children were none other than the Xu brothers from the Xu Fu, Xu Si Zhun and his brother.

The Xu brothers were actually a bit older, about the same age as Baoyu.

Thus, they were in the same grade as Jia Lan and Jia Jun.

Although there was a large age gap,

they were all still children.

Moreover, there were not many students in the Wushuang School at present.

Because the Wushuang School's screening process was strict,

and it had just finished its first semester,

as of now, there were only a dozen or so students.

One of them included someone who had also come in through the back door:

Zhao Paner's son, Jia Huan.

Therefore,

having been schoolmates for over a month was enough for them to become good friends.

And Li Wan naturally knew them.

Seeing Xu Si Zhun, the legitimate son of Xu Lingyi of the Xu family, and his younger brother, the concubine-born Xu Si Yu, immediately look nervous upon seeing her,

she hurriedly smiled and said: "Xu Si Zhun, Xu Si Yu, you have come. There is no need to be reserved."

Among them, she took an extra look at Xu Si Zhun.

She knew that Xu Si Zhun was Jia Hui's godson.

Before, she hadn't thought much of it,

but at this moment, because Jia Hui had also accepted her own son as a godson,

the expression on Li Wan's face was a bit strange.

She secretly speculated, "Could it be that that Madame Xu, Yuanniang, also has an affair with Yichuan?"

She was secretly shocked.

She felt that a dignified and most promising Marchioness

shouldn't be like that, right?

But thinking of herself, her mother-in-law, and Fengjie, none had escaped that man's clutches.

"If even those in the Duke's mansion couldn't escape, what is she?"

Li Wan shook her head.

"Mother, I will go do my homework now."

Seeing Li Wan return,

Jia Lan was much more nervous than the others.

He wanted to express that he would go do his homework immediately,

even though it was currently the holiday.

This was because Li Wan was usually very strict in her supervision.

And Jia Lan was a sensible and filial son.

He knew his mother was doing it for his own good.

After all, he was a child without a father, and the future inheritance of the Rongguo Fu was a matter for the first branch.

Even if it were the second branch, it would be his uncle Jia Baoyu.

No matter how it turned, it would never be his turn.

Therefore, he could only rely on himself.

He had to achieve a good reputation so that he and his mother could live without worry and have a good life in the future.

If it were in the past,

seeing Jia Lan like this, Li Wan would only feel gratified.

But at this moment,

thinking of Jia Hui's previous teachings,

Li Wan felt incredibly heartbroken.

She said softly to Jia Lan: "No need, Lan'er, today you should just accompany your classmates and friends and play well."

Jia Lan looked at his mother in surprise.

Li Wan smiled: "It was Wushuang Bo who said that children cannot lose a beautiful childhood, and children should look like children. Balancing work and rest is the true path. From now on, as long as you finish the homework left by the school teachers, you can play however you like the rest of the time."

Jia Lan was stunned for a while,

seemingly unable to process it.

After all, the situation of many years had suddenly changed.

He only felt at a loss,

needing time to adapt.

Immediately,

after a while, confirming that Li Wan was not joking,

he immediately became pleasantly surprised and happy!

Seeing her son like this,

Li Wan felt even more heartbroken: "Go."

"Hmm... wait, Mother, your face is so red today, are you sick? I won't play, I will go to the Wushuang Bo mansion and ask the Divine Physician Hua to see you."

Jia Lan, who was about to agree, suddenly noticed the red glow on Li Wan's face.

He immediately mistakenly thought Li Wan was sick.

Being a filial son, he ignored everything else, intent on finding a physician to see her.

Li Wan's face immediately became even redder and hotter.

And at this moment, she discovered that Lou Shi was still waiting for her,

looking at her face in surprise.

Li Wan was a bit panicked, so she said to Jia Lan: "Ah, I did catch a bit of a cold, but I just came back from the Wushuang Bo mansion, and the Divine Physician Hua has already seen me, it's nothing serious."

"But since you mentioned going to the Wushuang Bo mansion, then go, I happen to need to take you to the Wushuang Bo mansion for something later."

"You go first, I will follow in a moment."

"That's good, then Mother, I'm going."

Jia Lan felt relieved after hearing this,

because Hua Tuo had already spent nearly two months...
