"Miss..." Qingwen's eyes, which were very similar to Daiyu's, were filled with tears, like beads that would break from the string at any time, which melted Daiyu's heart.

"You look so aggrieved. If someone doesn't know you, they might think I can't stand you." Daiyu sighed softly, "If you know where you are lacking, then work hard to learn. I don't despise you!"

Daiyu held her forehead helplessly. She always felt that her age and those of these maids were reversed: she was the eldest sister, while her maids were like little kids of five or six years old who needed her to coax them all the time.

Upon hearing this, Qingwen immediately stopped crying, hurriedly bowed and ran out of the room.

"Why are you running so fast! Let Qinghe come over here!" Daiyu's voice followed her back.

"Yes, girl!"

Qingwen's clear reply echoed in the small Lixiang Courtyard. The joy in her voice seemed to dispel the last trace of coldness in the lingering winter.

Daiyu didn't realize that her letter had caused Lin Ruhai to pester Wang Tingyu. After the two finished discussing business, Wang Tingyu wanted to run away when he heard what Lin Ruhai said next.

"Master Lin, you are making things difficult for me!" He said bitterly, "I am just an idle member of the royal family. How can I have the face to invite a tutor from the palace for you?"

“My dear nephew! My dear nephew!” Lin Ruhai quickly stretched out his hand to stop him. “Can you go back and ask the Saint to give my daughter a nanny in consideration of the evidence I presented?”

"Master Lin, please speak nicely and don't use force!" Wang Tingyu dodged Lin Ruhai's hand. Although he had indeed told Lin Ruhai not to reveal his identity, Lin Ruhai kept calling him "nephew", and Wang Tingyu always felt that he was taking advantage of him.

He had a complicated expression on his face. Thinking of the thin little girl he met in the Tianjin Inn before, Wang Tingyu couldn't help but soften his heart for a moment.

"Lord Lin, although this is not a great achievement, it will still allow your family's original title of marquis to continue for another generation. Are you really going to use this achievement to find a nanny for your daughter?"

"An ordinary nanny won't do!" Lin Ruhai said to Wang Tingyu meaningfully, "I don't want to say anything bad about my mother-in-law, but the Jia family is really unspeakable!"

Although Wang Tingyu had heard about this before, he was still a little surprised to hear this from Lin Ruhai's mouth. Is this the Lin Ruhai he knows?

"Lord Lin is far away in Yangzhou, but he still knows everything about the situation in Beijing. I really admire him!"

Lin Ruhai touched the ring on his finger, straightened his sleeves in front of Wang Tingyu, and waved his hands with a smile: "That's not the case. It's just that my daughter has written to me again recently. Hehehe, since she came to Beijing, she has become closer to me."

The corner of Wang Tingyu's mouth twitched: Has Lin Ruhai become a daughter slave?

At this time, Wang Tingyao suddenly ran over and rescued his elder brother from the dire situation: "Brother! Have you finished talking about business? Let's go out and play! I want to go to the lake to watch the cruise ship!"

Wang Tingyu looked at his brother who ran in with sweat all over his forehead, and reminded him: "Ayao, have you met Lord Lin? That Lord Lin."

Hearing the words "Lord Lin", Wang Tingyao immediately stood up straight, bowed respectfully to Lin Ruhai, and then stood obediently beside his elder brother, instantly becoming a lot more serious.

"Hehe, my brother is naughty. I will report Lord Lin's instructions to the saint. You should focus on investigation and don't act rashly. I'm leaving now!" Wang Tingyu bowed to Lin Ruhai and left with his brother.

In the main room of Lixiangyuan, Daiyu lay on the kang, enjoying Honglian's leg massage service.

A few days ago, Daiyu gave her 1/5 of a body-building potion to drink. She was in high spirits now and was eager to do all the chores in the yard.

Honglian's positive attitude had some influence on Qingwen. She was not willing to be outdone and secretly competed with Honglian.

But she didn't get the bonus of technology after all, and gradually she felt overwhelmed and discouraged. At this time, she sat on the embroidery cushion beside her, and her hand, which was embroidering a handkerchief, stopped in mid-air.

Daiyu noticed her abnormality and curled the corners of her mouth slightly.

At this moment, Nanny Wang walked into the inner room. Daiyu's eyes lit up, and she quickly sat up and asked anxiously, "Good Nanny, please bring me some good news. I'm almost tired of staying here!"

Nanny Wang gave her a scolding look and said with a smile, "Young girl, you are getting more and more naughty as you grow up. How can you still look like a daughter of an official family? I think the master shouldn't have sent you to the capital. You were playing all the way and couldn't stay still!"

Daiyu hugged Nanny Wang's waist and said teasingly, "Nanny, you are saying bad things about Daddy again. I must write a letter to tell Daddy!"

"Then I will also talk to the master. The girl wants to run away every day. If the master agrees, I won't say anything."

"Good nanny, isn't it okay for me to admit that I was wrong? Please tell me what people at Hongji Temple said." Daiyu immediately admitted her mistake.

After all, she was staying in various cities along the way under the pretext of praying for Jia Min, and Lin Ruhai would not think there was anything wrong with that. But if he knew that Daiyu actually just wanted to go out and have fun, that would be different.

In this era, it was quite easy for the head of a family to discipline his children. Take Jia She for example, although he inherited the title, he still had to endure Jia Mu's partiality for Jia Zheng.

Nanny Wang put her finger on Daiyu's forehead. If she didn't know that the girl was really uncomfortable these days, she would not have indulged Daiyu like this.

"The monk in charge said that we can visit the Sutra Library, but we are not allowed to take the scriptures out. It's similar to what we heard before."

This is all Daiyu wanted, to get some fresh air and earn some points.

Recently, she had taken a fancy to a book on light Kung Fu techniques, but before that, she had just bought a book on basic internal Kung Fu techniques, spending most of the points she had accumulated in several Buddhist temples.

These are just the points she spent on herself, not including the cost of developing her own power and improving the abilities of her subordinates in the future.

She understood that if she wanted to have a certain say in this world, it was not enough for her to be capable, she also needed someone to help her.

Even if she was the only one in the martial arts world, it would be difficult for her to compete with the imperial court and gain a place in the future chaotic world. Not to mention, she was just getting started.

Daiyu suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of crisis. She pressed her throbbing temples, forced a smile, and said to Nanny Wang, "Mom, go get ready. I'll go have dinner with the old lady this afternoon and find a chance to talk to her. By the way, has the monk in charge calculated an auspicious day?"

"Well, in three days it will be a good time, Madam."

"understood."

Three days later, at the hour of Mao, before daybreak, Nanny Wang pulled Daiyu out of bed early and said, "Miss, you begged to go out to pray for blessings, and now you can't get up. It will take us another hour to go! Hurry up and get up!"

Daiyu was sobered up by the cool breeze in the morning. She got into the carriage, and Yingchun was already waiting inside.
