Chapter 114: Master Shen

After comforting Sui Sui, Princess Consort of Qi went to the front courtyard, called Liu Dafu, and asked about the other party's granddaughter.

Liu Dafu, after hearing, didn't answer at once; instead he smiled and said, "I have no problem, of course, but I don't know what that child Mengmeng is thinking. After I return to the residence, I'll ask her carefully before saying anything."

Princess Consort of Qi nodded, "Of course."

Although there are many matters, as long as the adults decide, the child just needs to be obedient.

However, Princess Consort of Qi is more indulgent toward the child.

She is also willing to ask the other party's opinion on many things.

Come to think of it, she learned this from Liu Dafu.

Therefore, Liu Dafu's current words do not surprise Princess Consort of Qi much.

After inquiring about the companion tutor, Princess Consort of Qi casually asked about Liu Dafu's family.

At the end, she brought up the palace: "Yue Pin fell ill a while ago; is she much better now?"

When Yue Pin was ill, Liu Dafu had not yet returned to Jing.

Princess Consort of Qi was also unsure whether, after his return, his family had mentioned it to him.

Liu Dafu, hearing this, nodded, "I heard she's already greatly recovered."

Although Liu Dafu is no longer at the Imperial Medical Institute, his son is still there.

Therefore, if one truly wants to inquire about palace matters, it can actually be asked.

Knowing the person is fine, Princess Consort of Qi nodded with relief and then spoke about Sui Sui's health.

The child is still young and has endured too much hardship before.

From now on, she must be properly compensated.

Later, still uneasy, Princess Consort of Qi whispered, "I heard the children of the Jin Yang Marquis's Residence are still in the other courtyard?"

Liu Dafu nodded, "Hmm, they say they're still being taught proper conduct."

Liu Dafu intended to say: the Jin Yang Marquis's residence has a good reputation, so they must educate the girls of the house well before letting them appear.

However, gossiping about their affairs behind their backs, especially in front of the main family, is rather unsightly.

So, after thinking, he swallowed those words back.

Liu Dafu's silence is due to some reservation.

【5】 Princess Consort of Qi, unburdened, gave a light hum, "The rules of their household, whether taught or not, are just that."

Princess Consort of Qi didn't have that many mental burdens, humming lightly: "Their Residence's rule, whether they teach it or not, is just that sort of thing."

The Marquis himself is out of line, and few of the women of the household have a normal mind.

Princess Consort of Qi thinks the Jin Yang Marquis's residence is beyond saving.

Princess Consort of Qi has always been good-natured; saying this now is only because of Sui Sui's issue, she's simply irritated.

Liu Dafu, hearing this, felt delighted inside but couldn't respond, only smiling silently.

Princess Consort of Qi was too lazy to waste more words on this matter.

It's only because of Sui Sui's matter that she also paid extra attention to the Jin Yang Marquis's residence.

Sui Sui's nap was rather long; Princess Consort of Qi, uneasy, went to check twice.

Feng Xuanrui and the others had finished their morning studies, but the person hadn't woken up yet.

A few also wanted to see the younger sister; Princess Consort of Qi, fearing they'd be indiscriminate and wake the person, stopped them.

Feng Xuanrui felt a bit disappointed, but after the morning class ended, he was also hungry.

At this time they all rushed to the dining hall.

Princess Consort of Qi had Aunt Qiu arrange lunch, and she herself took Haitang to meet Master Shen.

Since Sui Sui will go to the school later, they must inform the Master first.

Although Master Shen is rather open-minded and never picky about teaching and nurturing.

However, not greeting and just forcing it in is not proper.

Knowing Master Shen dislikes beating around the bush, Princess Consort of Qi, after arriving, went straight to the point.

Master Shen, after listening, nodded, "That child looks quite spirited."

Being praised by Master Shen is not easy.

Princess Consort of Qi smiled awkwardly, "She's also a pitiful child."

Not wanting Master Shen to refuse teaching because Sui Sui is a girl, Princess Consort of Qi seized the chance to lament, recounting many of Sui Sui's past pitiable incidents.

Although Master Shen is a scholar, his martial virtue is abundant.

After hearing Sui Sui's past and learning of Chen Dalang's family's beastly deeds, he clenched his teeth in anger!

Master Shen, of advanced age, has half his hair turned white; he's usually smiling, appearing as a gentle master.

Now his eyes bulged, his beard seemed about to fly, and he roared angrily, "Where is Liu Xuancan? What is Liu Xuancan doing? Didn't he go punish people? He just came back like this? Is he blind?!"

Liu Xuancan is Liu Dafu's full name.

Back then Master Shen taught him for a few days; a day as teacher, a lifetime as father.

Therefore, shouting his name loudly now is quite normal.

Princess Consort of Qi: …

She only intended to lament, not to provoke the Master!

Princess Consort of Qi felt a bit helpless and somewhat embarrassed.

Prince Xin said it had already been dealt with.

However, with Xu Yue Yao still present, they couldn't just kill everyone outright.

If they truly killed them, wouldn't that benefit Xu Yue Yao?

Although Princess Consort of Qi looks down on the Jin Yang Marquis's residence, the Marquis's daughter is indeed a very good match for an ordinary village girl.

So why let Xu Yue Yao profit for free and also help her avoid future trouble?

Princess Consort of Qi felt that Doctor Liu's handling was also fine.

Now that Master Shen asked, Princess Consort of Qi whispered: "It's said they were beaten, but since many things were involved, they only beat them, didn't kill."

Master Shen is tight-lipped, and moreover this matter involves Sui Sui; after thinking, Princess Consort of Qi still told the truth.

Including the matter of Xu Yue Yao being recognized and returned by the Jin Yang Marquis's residence, she also didn't hide it.

If she weren't sincere and again provoked Master Shen's displeasure, then the matter of Sui Sui going to the small classroom would be out of the question.

Now it seems, going is possible.

Just don't know...

Whether Master Shen can control his temper well.

Students' fear of the master, sometimes it's hidden in their bones.

Princess Consort of Qi at this moment, actually still a bit timid.

Outwardly everything looks normal, but inwardly it's just forcing herself.

Fortunately, after Master Shen heard that Chen Dalang had been beaten twice, his anger finally subsided somewhat.

He finally waved his hand and said: "Alright, after a while, when ready, just send it over."

After his words fell, he thought a moment and added: "If the princess consort doesn't mind, I'll have the second young lady from the residence come keep Sui Sui company; with more young ladies, they can look out for each other."

Shen Er Niang refers to Master Shen's second granddaughter, eleven years old.

She is a very gentle and quiet young lady; Princess Consort of Qi has seen her twice and likes her quite a bit.

She is considerably older than Sui Sui, and now she is at the age to understand matters.

If she accompanies her, Sui Sui's adaptation to life in Jing Cheng might be faster.

Master Shen intends to look after her; Princess Consort of Qi is quite grateful.

After bidding farewell to Master Shen, on the way back to her own courtyard, she also mentioned to Aunt Qiu: "If we ever obtain any rare books again, we must keep them and properly thank the master."

The second watch is at 19:00.
