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

Hearing this, Lu Huaizhu chuckled and called out Huo Junyu, Qian Duoduo and Huo Jingyi, pointing at the three of them and said:

"How about competing with the three of them?"

Meng Ran and Jiang Yuanbin looked at each other and laughed.

Not to mention Huo Jingyi, a little girl of three years old, what can she compare to?

Even Huo Junyu and Qian Duoduo were at the bottom of the Imperial College. No matter how hard they tried to catch up, how could they surpass them?

"What do you say if you lose?" Meng Ran asked with a turn of his eyes.

"If we lose, it's all up to you." Lu Huaizhu smiled faintly and spoke casually.

Meng Ran heard this, and a hint of joy appeared in his eyes. He looked at Huo Zhanting and Huo Junyu with cold eyes, and said directly:

"If you lose, let the King of War and the Second Master Huo kowtow and apologize to me and Jiang Yuanbin in front of everyone in the Imperial College. How about that?"

"Okay, then on the contrary, if you lose..."

Before Lu Huaizhu could finish his words, Meng Ran interrupted confidently, "We can't lose!"

"Don't be so confident, Mr. Meng." Shen Qinglan spoke softly from the side.

"That's right! Since we're going to gamble, both parties have to have stakes, right? Or are you afraid?"

When Nangong Mingyue saw that Shen Qinglan and the others had already started fighting with Meng Ran and Jiang Yuanbin, she didn't bother to worry about whether she would offend Prime Minister Jiang or not, and just offered to help.

Meng Ran couldn't stand the gazes from the two men, and immediately said, "If we lose, you can do whatever you want with us."

"Eh? No need to punish us, we are all gentlemen! So, if you lose, each of you will draw a turtle and stick it on your head, and then..."

"Just go around the whole capital, saying 'I was blind and mistook pearls for fish eyes'. How about that?"

When Jiang Yuanbin heard this, he felt insulted and wanted to say something angrily, but was held down by Meng Ran.

"What are you afraid of? Can't you defeat them?" Meng Ran looked at Jiang Yuanbin and whispered:

"Besides, don't you want to see that great war king bow down to us?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuanbin seemed to think that this was true and immediately shut up.

Meng Ran then looked at Lu Huaizhu, raised the corner of his mouth and said with a smile: "Okay, we agree."

Seeing this, Shen Qinglan immediately smiled and said, "Since we want to gamble, we must sign a document to prevent both parties from breaking the contract, right?"

Shen Qinglan's smile was gentle and looked like a spring breeze. Upon hearing that, Meng Ran agreed without thinking.

After all, he was also afraid that Shen Qinglan and the others would go back on their word!

Immediately, the two sides signed a letter of challenge and agreed to compete in the Imperial College three days later before going their separate ways.

After Meng Ran and the others left, Huo Junyu and Qian Duoduo came forward with some concern and said cautiously:

"Sir, Father, Mother, can we really do this? Before in the Imperial College, we really..."

Huo Junyu was obviously a little lacking in confidence, but he didn't dare to say it when Meng Ran was here just now, for fear of affecting everyone.

Qian Duoduo nodded seriously. He didn't expect that he would have to take action, and said in a panic:

"Yes, sir, I can't..."

Before Lu Huaizhu and the others could speak, Huo Jingyi had already stepped forward, stretched out her short hands and patted her chest, and said in a childish and proud voice:

"Second brother, Brother Duoduo, don't be afraid! Yi'er can do it! Yi'er is very good! Yi'er can handle the three of them by herself!"

When everyone heard Huo Jingyi's words, they couldn't help but laugh. This was truly a typical example of a newborn calf that is not afraid of a tiger!

Shen Qinglan smiled and rubbed Huo Jingyi's little head, then looked at Huo Junyu and Qian Duoduo and said softly:

"Don't be afraid. Since Mr. Lu dares to let you go, it means you have the ability!"

Huo Zhanting nodded slightly and said seriously: "Even if I lose, I still have my father here."

Huo Junyu and Qian Duoduo were touched, but they were still obviously lacking in confidence.

Seeing this, Lu Huaizhu walked up to the two men and slapped each of them on the back of their heads, then rolled his eyes and said:

"What are you all doing? Are you so arrogant in front of me? Are you giving in in front of those bastards?"

"I'm telling you! None of my students are bad! Those bastards can easily win! Do you understand?"

After each of them was slapped in the face, their embarrassed expressions immediately disappeared and their eyes suddenly became clearer.

Huo Junyu and Qian Duoduo immediately looked at each other, stretched out their hands and shouted in unison:

"Fuck them!"

Seeing the two regain their confidence, everyone laughed.

Shen Qinglan looked at Lu Huaizhu, and saw that although Lu Huaizhu looked nonchalant, there was tenderness in his eyes.

The corners of her mouth rose slightly. Her cousin seemed unreliable, but in fact, he was a true mentor.

Otherwise, he would never have proposed to bet with Meng Ran and the others.

It was precisely because Lu Huaizhu saw that the two little guys had a crush on Meng Ran and Jiang Yuanbin that he let them compete.

Although Shen Qinglan didn't know what had happened in the Imperial College in the past, it was obvious that the two little guys must have suffered a lot at the hands of Jiang Yuanbin and others, so they were afraid.

However, if they want to last long in the future, being afraid of Jiang Yuanbin and others will become a lifelong nightmare.

Therefore, if you want to break this nightmare, you must win openly!

Only by defeating Meng Ran and the others in front of everyone can he completely break the fear in their hearts and face life head-on!

An ordinary teacher imparts knowledge and resolves doubts, while a good teacher teaches the heart. Only by speaking from the heart can one obtain all the Dharma.

Shen Qinglan also believed that since Lu Huaizhu dared to gamble like this, he must be sure of it.

Lu Huaizhu seemed to sense Shen Qinglan's gaze and shuddered. He leaned forward and whispered to Shen Qinglan:

"Why are you looking at me? Do you think I looked particularly high-spirited and like a master just now? Don't take it too seriously. It's not a big deal to just brag about it."

"After all, even if we lose, it is the War King who will have to apologize and be embarrassed, but it has nothing to do with me."

"..."

"..."

Everyone looked at Lu Huaizhu, who looked like he deserved a beating, and their lips twitched slightly.

Gu Junyuan took advantage of this opportunity, jumped up suddenly, raised her hand, and slapped Lu Huaizhu hard on the back of the head.

With a "slap" sound, Lu Huaizhu was hit so hard that his head spun. He turned around and looked at the smile Gu Junyuan was giving him. His lips moved slightly: "You deserve it!"

"Gu! Jun! Yuan!"

With an angry roar, Lu Huaizhu rushed towards Gu Junyuan. Gu Junyuan turned around and ran without stopping.

Everyone looked at these two funny guys jumping up and down again, and couldn't help but sigh and hold their foreheads.

Emperor Jingren's mouth twitched when he received Huo Zhanting's memorial.

In the memorial, Huo Zhanting was mostly complaining about his poverty, saying that he was now disabled and unable to walk, and that he had a wife and many children at home. If he couldn't find a job, they would probably starve to death at home.

Emperor Jingren was so angry that he laughed, and said to the chief eunuch beside him:

"Li Fude, tell me, did the silver I gave him a while ago really starve him to death? Why is he running to me now and crying poor? What does he mean?"
