The mistress died of overwork, and after rebirth, she was bad at raising her cubs

When the three kids heard what Lu Huaizhu said, their hearts suddenly tightened and they all looked at Lu Huaizhu.

Huo Junyu even asked, "What if I don't get the answer right?"

"If you don't answer correctly..."

Lu Huaizhu smiled, pulled out a folding fan from his waist, tapped the three little ones' heads with the fan, opened it with a "swish", shook it gently, and said lazily:

"Then the three of you go to the streets and shout three times that the young masters and young ladies of the Zhan Palace are as stupid as pigs... What? Do you dare to bet?"

Huo Junyan frowned and looked at Lu Huaizhu with dissatisfaction. He felt that this man had such a terrible character. How could Shen Qinglan let him teach them?

Can……

The words have been spoken. If there is no response, will this person humiliate Shen Qinglan for no reason?

No matter what! Shen Qinglan is their mother now, so she should be protected!

Even if they lose, it will only bring shame to the three of them, but it will allow their mother to see the true face of this person! What a good deal!

Immediately, Huo Junyan nodded and said, "Deal!"

Huo Junyu rolled his eyes and then said, "Since you are the teacher our mother invited for us, then you must be good at archery among the six arts of a gentleman, right?"

Lu Huaizhu looked Huo Junyu up and down, with a hint of smile in his eyes, and nodded slightly:

"nature."

"Okay, since we're going to compete, let's test both the civil and military skills! My eldest brother will be tested on the civil skills, I'll be tested on the military skills, and my third sister..."

After Huo Junyu succeeded, he was in a very good mood. He paused here. Huo Jingyi beside him blinked her big eyes and looked at Huo Junyu eagerly and said in a baby voice:

"What about me?"

Three pairs of eyes fell on Huo Jingyi, a little kid of three and a half years old, whose legs were not even as long as Lu Huaizhu's when he jumped. What could he do?

Huo Junyu held his chin with his hand, looked at Huo Jingyi seriously and said:

"Why don't you just cheer us up, Yi'er?"

Hearing this, Huo Jingyi angrily stepped on Huo Junyu's instep, put her hands on her hips like a little teapot and said:

"Second brother, you underestimate me!"

"Ouch, that hurts."

Huo Junyu hugged his feet in pain and sat down, then said to Huo Jingyi:

"How do I underestimate you? Aren't you in poor health? Your mother gives you acupuncture every day, you can't let her hard work go to waste."

Huo Jingyi pouted, then thought for a moment, tilted her head back to look at Lu Huaizhu, and asked in a serious voice:

"Yier can use an abacus! Can we compete?"

Lu Huaizhu sat up straight, put away the folding fan in his hand, turned it around as if playing with it, put it back on his waist, and said with a smile:

"Okay, then best of three."

When Huo Jingyi heard this, a sweet smile broke out on her chubby little face. She tilted her head back, feeling very happy that she could make an effort to defend her mother's reputation!

Huo Junyan and Huo Junyu looked at each other but didn't say much.

As long as the two of them can win, it doesn’t matter what Huo Jingyi’s results are.

Lu Huaizhu's expression at this moment was much more beautiful and gentle than when he just came in.

Although these three kids are not Shen Qinglan's biological children, they seem to be quite filial, which makes it worthwhile for Shen Qinglan to find himself here just for them.

However, if you want him to teach these guys, you have to see if they have the ability to do so!

Lu Huaizhu immediately stood up, pointed at Huo Junyan, and asked casually:

"Don't say I'm bullying you. What have you studied? I'm testing you on something."

Huo Junyan thought about it and decided not to be arrogant. He told Lu Huaizhu all the books he had read.

Lu Huaizhu didn't expect that Huo Junyan was only eight years old, but he had already read so many books. He couldn't help but become interested and asked with a smile:

"Have you learned the policy?"

"I've learned a little." Huo Junyan answered modestly.

"Okay, then write a policy paper on the topic of 'Excessive Expenses'."

Huo Junyan was stunned for a moment, his brows furrowed, and then without saying anything, he sat down and asked someone to take a pen and start writing.

Huo Junyu and Huo Jingyi were afraid of disturbing Huo Junyan, so they could not help but stay away.

"What does 'extravagant spending' mean? Do you understand the question, brother?"

Huo Jingyi shook her head and whispered, "Brother must have understood, but Yi'er didn't."

"Is it normal that you didn't understand? Even I, your second brother, didn't understand!"

Huo Jingyi listened to her second brother's smug look, rolled her eyes, and moved away in disgust.

She can feel proud to compare herself with a little kid who is just over three years old. She can't be too close to her second brother. After all, it is said that stupidity is contagious.

After Huo Jingyi moved away, she stared at Lu Huaizhu's expression with her big eyes, trying to find out some clues from Lu Huaizhu's face.

But Lu Huaizhu just leaned on the table in front of Huo Junyan, as if he had no bones, with his handsome face showing no sadness or joy, and he watched Huo Junyan answer the questions indifferently.

Huo Jingyi really couldn't tell from Lu Huaizhu's face what Huo Junyan's answer was, so she couldn't help but blink hard, trying to make her eyes clearer so that she could look more carefully.

Time passed minute by minute, and it was already late at night. Huo Junyu and Huo Jingyi had both fallen asleep back to back.

Huo Junyan then looked up with a pale face, handed the written policy paper to Lu Huaizhu, and said in a hoarse voice:

"Sir, take a look."

Lu Huaizhu took the policy paper, glanced at it lightly, then looked up at Huo Junyan's pale face and said:

"I've been writing for a whole day. Go back and have a rest. I'll announce the answer tomorrow."

"Yes……"

Huo Junyan did not insist. To be honest, after writing for a whole day, this arm was almost not his anymore.

In fact, Huo Junyan lied.

He had learned some policy essays, but the teacher felt that they were still young, so he only explained the basics.

He put all his effort into it today, not wanting Lu Huaizhu to look down on him, so he risked his life.

At this moment, he was exhausted. If he didn't lie down, he would probably faint in front of Lu Huaizhu. Wouldn't that be even more embarrassing?

When Huo Junyan passed by the two little ones, he saw them leaning against each other and sleeping soundly. He rolled his eyes and couldn't help but kick them lightly.

The two opened their eyes drowsily and saw Huo Junyan looking down at them with a hint of disdain in his eyes.

"Big brother? It's so late, why haven't you slept yet?" Huo Jingyi muttered and rubbed her eyes with her hands, obviously not awake yet.

"Brother, have you finished writing?" Huo Junyu climbed up and asked dazedly.

"Go back and rest. We'll talk about it tomorrow."

Huo Junyan looked with disdain at his two brothers and sisters whose clothes were soaked with saliva, and left after saying this.

The two little ones hadn't gathered their consciousness yet at this time, but after listening to their eldest brother's words, they nodded obediently, and then really "floated" out of Ming Academy obediently.

Lu Huaizhu couldn't help but laugh when he saw the three little ones looking so adorable.

"Cousin, you are laughing so happily, but do you think Yan Ge'er and the other two are worthy of your attention?"

Shen Qinglan walked into Ming Academy with a smile, sat directly opposite Lu Huaizhu, and asked with interest.

"There are very few people who can catch my eye. Just look at your actions today. You were reckless and impulsive. You didn't know my strength, but you easily agreed to my bet..."

Shen Qinglan raised her eyebrows, but before she could speak, Lu Huaizhu said meaningfully:

"But..."

"But what?"
