Mrs. Qian looked at Lu Huaizhu and felt that he looked very familiar, but for a moment, she couldn't remember where she had seen him.

Qian Duoduo covered his ears which were pinched red, and muttered:

"That's my future master! I haven't even become his disciple yet, but you've established a relationship with him first?"

This one sentence immediately angered Mrs. Qian again.

She extended her index finger, tapped Qian Duoduo's forehead heavily and said:

"How dare you say that? You're just like your father, causing me no peace of mind at all!"

When Qian Duoduo heard this, his eyes turned red for some reason, and he said angrily:

"Why am I not worrying? If it wasn't for giving you face, if it wasn't for supporting you, why would I have to read the same crappy books as Huo Lao Er?"

"I would like to take classes at the Imperial College! But which teacher in the Imperial College thinks highly of me? They are not willing to teach me at all! They think I am just a playboy!"

"Mom! I just wanted to stand up for you. What did I do wrong?"

Qian Duoduo roared and yelled at Mrs. Qian, tears already falling from his eyes.

Mrs. Qian was stunned.

Her heart tightened and she looked at Qian Duoduo at a loss, and her nose couldn't help but feel a little sore.

"Duoduo..." Mrs. Qian's voice was a little hoarse and choked with sobs.

Qian Duoduo opened his mouth, wanting to coax Mrs. Qian, but felt that the other party didn't understand him, so he turned around and ran away in anger.

"Duoduo!"

The little guy ran very fast. Mrs. Qian wanted to chase him, but her legs went weak and she fell to the ground.

Seeing this, Shen Qinglan couldn't help but sigh in his heart, stepped forward to help Mrs. Qian up, then looked at Huo Junyu and gave him a wink.

Huo Junyu knew that he had caused trouble for Shen Qinglan again. He felt guilty and ashamed. He nodded quickly and chased in the direction Qian Duoduo left.

Seeing this, Shen Qinglan comforted Mrs. Qian, who was crying:

"Sister, don't cry yet. Young Master Qian is worried about you, that's why he said that. Wait until Yu'er brings him back, and then you can talk to him. He will understand you."

Mrs. Qian wiped her tears and said with sobs:

"I know this kid loves me, but I didn't expect that he was wronged in the Imperial College and didn't tell me... I just scolded him, I..."

"It's not my sister's fault..."

In fact, you can know it without saying it.

The Imperial College is full of children of high-ranking officials and nobles, and there are also many princes and princesses. Which one of them does not have a noble status?

Regardless of whether it is Huo Junyu or Qian Duoduo, how many people can look up to them when they are ranked at the bottom?

For a young man from a famous family like this, what he is best at is naturally not fighting with you. What he fears most is joining forces to isolate you.

Although Huo Junyu didn't say it, Shen Qinglan guessed that his experience and Qian Duoduo's experience in the Imperial College were probably not much different.

The only thing that makes Huo Junyu better than Qian Duoduo is that he has a grandmother who loves him.

Mrs. Qian was not willing to listen to any consolation at this time. She cried and said:

"Wow, why am I so miserable? Not only did I fail to protect my son, I couldn't even look after my own husband!"

"That vixen has already seduced his soul! I was so focused on being angry at that vixen that I neglected Duoduo."

"Woooooooo..."

Mrs. Qian complained and cried, and Shen Qinglan didn't know how to comfort her.

Lu Huaizhu, who was standing by, was so annoyed by Madam Qian's crying that he could not help but shouted:

"Shut up! Stop crying! If you want to cry, go outside. Why are you crying in front of me?"

When the two children, Huo Junyan and Huo Jingyi, heard Lu Huaizhu getting angry, they quickly shrank back, fearing that they would be affected.

After all, although Mr. Lu seemed nonchalant yesterday, he seemed easy to talk to...but when he gets angry, he's still quite scary.

But how could the two little ones know that Lu Huaizhu’s good temper was purely directed at Shen Qinglan?

If he really had a good temper, how could he do something so bold as refusing an official position in public?

Sure enough, Mrs. Qian was startled by this shout and stopped crying, apparently she was choked.

Shen Qinglan looked at Lu Huaizhu, glared at him helplessly and condemningly, and said:

"Lu Huaizhu! Don't you think it's not messy enough?"

Lu Huaizhu was stared at by Shen Qinglan, and his anger disappeared immediately. He muttered:

"Well, it's not my fault. Who made her cry there..."

Shen Qinglan was so angry that she laughed when she saw Lu Huaizhu's self-righteous look. At the same time, she also understood the reason why her cousin never got married in his previous life.

I'm afraid he doesn't even know what it means to be gentle and considerate to women, what it means to pity them?

"Sister, don't bother with my cousin, he..."

Before Shen Qinglan could finish his words, his arm was tightly pinched by Madam Qian.

Madam Qian looked up at Lu Huaizhu, her eyes gleaming with a gleam of light:

"Wait, who did you say he was?"

When Lu Huaizhu was stared at by Madam Qian like that, he felt as if all his clothes had been stripped off and he was standing naked in front of Madam Qian.

He couldn't help but subconsciously hug his chest and take a few steps back, looking at Mrs. Qian warily.

Shen Qinglan was stunned for a moment, looked at Madam Qian and then at Lu Huaizhu, and said:

"This is my cousin in Qinghe, Lu Huaizhu."

"Qinghe Lu family, Lu Huaizhu? The young genius, the one who could win a debate with a group of scholars, Lu Huaizhu? The one who passed the imperial examination but refused to be an official, Lu Huaizhu?"

Mrs. Qian's voice was a little excited, and with every question, the hand that was pinching Shen Qinglan's wrist couldn't help but tighten a little.

Shen Qinglan knew that Madam Qian had heard of Lu Huaizhu's name, so she nodded and agreed without hiding anything:

"Yes……"

When Mrs. Qian heard this, she immediately let go of Shen Qinglan's hand, her face full of joy.

Before Mrs. Qian could speak, she saw Huo Junyu pulling Qian Duoduo in.

Qian Duoduo was pulled in with a hint of reluctance on his face. Before he could say anything, he saw Mrs. Qian walking towards him quickly.

Qian Duoduo was frightened by the aura emanating from Madam Qian at this moment, and thought that she was going to be beaten again, so he immediately closed his eyes in fear and said:

"Mom, please don't hit me..."

Before he could finish his words, Madam Qian lifted him up by the back of his collar, and then he was suspended in the air weightlessly.

By the time he reacted, Mrs. Qian had already brought people to Lu Huaizhu and kicked him directly in the knee.

Qian Duoduo cried out and knelt on the ground. He opened his eyes blankly and looked at Lu Huaizhu who was in front of him and was also bewildered.

"Hurry! Kowtow!" Mrs. Qian's voice rang in Qian Duoduo's ears.

Because of the majesty from his old mother for many years, Qian Duoduo didn't even react to what was happening, but he kowtowed three times to Lu Huaizhu according to the order.

"I was so confused just now. My son Duoduo sincerely wanted to become his disciple, but as a mother, I tried to stop him in every possible way. I really shouldn't have done that!"

How could Mrs. Qian have any sadness on her face at this moment? Instead, she was filled with ecstasy!

She paused here, looked at the three boxes of gold beside her, and immediately said angrily:

"My son is really ridiculous! He only gave me three boxes of gold as a gift for his apprenticeship! This is ridiculous! He is so stingy!"

"Eh?" Qian Duoduo looked at his mother in confusion.

"Hurry! Go to my private warehouse and bring three more boxes! From now on, I will trouble you to work hard!"

Mrs. Qian didn't even wait for Lu Huaizhu to refuse. She quickly became his disciple and ran away with Qian Duoduo in her arms. She ran so fast that it seemed as if she was afraid that Lu Huaizhu and the others would not be able to react.

"No? I didn't agree to it either!!!" Lu Huaizhu widened his eyes and said angrily.

Shen Qinglan walked to Lu Huaizhu's side, chuckled, patted his shoulder and said:

"My cousin is a man of talent, and everyone knows him..."

Seeing that Lu Huaizhu wanted to say something, Shen Qinglan said meaningfully:

"Mrs. Qian's father is the General of the Cavalry..."
