"Oh, it's Uncle Housekeeping Manager. Is there anything important you want to tell Da Changwu about?" Mu Yingbao asked enthusiastically.

"Ahem, there's something I forgot to tell you yesterday. You and your son have entered this secluded city, no matter what the reason is, this secluded city has a rule that children can go to school when they are old enough." The household manager told seriously with his hands behind his back.

"School? You may not have the chance to get out after entering here, so why go to school? He can help me with some small things if he stays at home. Besides, does it cost money to go to school? We are only given such a small amount of coins. We have to take care of our food and clothing, so how can we have spare money to go to school?" Mu Yingbao said this deliberately.

Logically, she supports her child going to school, but she is worried.

"Uncle Huguan, don't think that I don't care about his future just because I'm his stepmother. Others may not know the situation of my wife and I, but you must know it. His father may be lucky enough to turn things around, but the child is going to school and I'm not around. If something happens, who will take the responsibility?"

When his father comes back, how can I explain this to him?" Mu Yingbao added again, saying that it was very difficult for her as a stepmother!

"Madam Xue, you don't need to worry about this. I dare not say anything about other places, but in this secluded city, no one dares to do anything wrong. Besides, the wife of the academy doesn't let the child go and delays him. I'm sure Master Xue will be unhappy when he comes back one day, right?" The housekeeper persuaded patiently.

Mu Yingbao didn't expect that such a place actually attached great importance to education.

"Okay, I'll ask the child himself and let him make his own decision. I don't want to be a bad guy. Uncle, please wait a moment." After saying that, Mu Yingbao turned and walked into the yard, knocked on the door of the east wing, and went in. Brother Hui had actually been watching the situation outside through the gap in the window. When he saw Mu Yingbao coming in, he turned around and stood still, looking at her nervously.

Mu Yingbao half squatted down and told him the purpose of the household manager's visit very seriously, and asked in a serious tone, "You are still young, and I am afraid you won't understand if I tell you too much. You can see that things have become cold and desolate in your father's matter. Even your own grandfather has abandoned you.

Don't think I'm cruel when I say this, it's the truth. You are Xue Wenyu's son, so I want to ask you now, do you want to wait for your father to come back in peace, or do you want to face the unknown danger and go to school to learn what you should learn, so that you can become stronger and maybe be able to help your father in the future? "

Brother Hui clenched his fists, was silent for a moment, then suddenly raised his head and said firmly, "I want to go to school and make myself stronger. I want to be able to help my father in the future and will not let others bully me or frame me."

"Well, well done. Since you have chosen this path, you cannot regret it. You have a lot to learn." Mu Yingbao couldn't bear it but had to ask again.

The child nodded vigorously to show that he would not regret it.

The little child, only seven years old, has to face this cruel reality.

Mu Yingbao had no other choice. She could not protect her child by relying on her own meager strength. The child had to become strong on his own, not only mentally, but also learn everything that could make him strong.

Mu Yingbao stood up and went outside the courtyard. "That child is so ignorant. He doesn't even know where we are now and wants to go to school. I can't be a bad guy and stop him. Let him go. I'll take him to the school tomorrow."

"Well, I'll take you there tomorrow morning. Also, Madam Xue, don't worry about Shu Qian. The school in Youcheng is free. But you need to bring your own lunch. If you're not busy, I can send it to you." The household manager got the response and told him with a sigh of relief.

"Ah? It doesn't cost money, you should have said it earlier. But, forget about sending the meal, I don't have the time, just let him bring it himself in the morning. The situation is different now, he is here, he doesn't have a grandfather who is a marquis, and he doesn't have a father who is a prince, so why would he be so particular?" Mu Yingbao said with a smile.

"This is Madam's family affair. I'll take my leave now." The household manager couldn't stand Mu Yingbao's attitude and left in a hurry.

As soon as he left, the few onlookers looked at Mu Yingbao as if he were a plague god and left immediately.

After closing the door, Mu Yingbao began to sort the things in the basket. He picked out the herbs, washed them, cut them into pieces and boiled them in a pot.

"It's so relaxing hiding in the house. Come over and help me pick vegetables." After the medicine was boiled, Mu Yingbao roared fiercely.

Brother Hui immediately came to the kitchen, looking around for vegetables to pick, but he saw Mu Yingbao pointing at a bowl of steaming food on the table; "Go, drink that."

Ah? Aren’t you picking vegetables? Brother Hui was stunned for a moment, then he went over, picked up the spoon, and started drinking obediently, mouthful by mouthful.

Mu Yingbao didn't expect that this child would listen to him so much. He didn't even ask what was in the bowl. He wanted to drink it for Xiao? Was this because he trusted him? Or was he afraid that he didn't dare to ask more questions or resist?

But, he doesn't look like he's afraid of me, does he?

This made Mu Yingbao a little confused.

The medicine soup smelled bad and was a bit bitter. Mu Yingbao frowned as he watched the child drink it mouthful by mouthful.

The child looked like he was about to vomit after drinking the last few mouthfuls, but he still forced himself to swallow them down.

Before he finished, he pushed the empty bowl towards Mu Yingbao with his little hand, indicating that he had finished drinking it.

Mu Yingbao felt inexplicably sad and remembered something. She turned around, opened the cupboard, scooped some icing sugar she had just bought in the morning with a small spoon, handed a spoonful to the child, and motioned him to open his mouth.

Brother Hui recognized the icing sugar and immediately opened his mouth to eat it. The child wanted to laugh but was holding it back, as if he was afraid that Mu Yingbao would see through him.

"Remember, don't tell anyone that you drank this stuff, okay?" Mu Yingbao instructed.

She thought the child would ask something, but instead, the child just nodded obediently.

Aren't children said to be curious? Is this one an exception? She didn't believe that the child knew he was poisoned and was drinking an antidote.

But who cares? As long as he drinks it obediently, it's fine.

That night, Mu Yingbao stewed pork ribs and heated up the leftover snake meat from lunch, and the two of them ate happily.

The atmosphere at dinner was much better than at lunch, although no one talked to each other.

After the meal, Brother Hui took the initiative to help clean up the dishes and rolled up his sleeves to wash them. Mu Yingbao didn't argue with him and helped adjust the water so that it wasn't too hot and then let him do it.

While the child was washing chopsticks with iodine, she was collecting clothes in the yard. When they were dry, she folded his clothes and put them in the cupboard of his room. Only then did she notice that the bedding on his bed was neatly folded.

After washing up, they returned to their respective rooms. Mu Yingbao remembered that the child had to go to school tomorrow and didn't have a schoolbag yet. She remembered that there was a roll of gray cotton cloth in the closet, so she found a pair of scissors and needle and thread and sewed one for him according to what she had seen.

The schoolbags of ancient children were very simple, just a rectangular bag that could be worn diagonally. They were not as lucky as modern children, who have all kinds of schoolbags, such as backpacks for shoulders and trolleys.

After sewing the schoolbag, she felt it was too monotonous and wanted to cut out some patterns and sew them on it, but then she suddenly remembered that she was a stepmother and couldn't be biased, so she quickly gave up the idea. While she was still energetic, she sewed a handbag for carrying lunch according to the size of a small jar with a lid in the kitchen.

Zai, Mu Yingbao looked at the two completed works and felt that it was not easy for him.

She was courting death by marrying a prince, a wicked prince who was so petty, and now she is repaying evil with kindness towards his son.

Xue Wenyu, now it's not me who owes you, it's you who owes me. Mu Yingbao lay on the bed, staring at the candle and muttering softly.

Xue Wenyu, who was still on the way, had a gloomy face, his hand on the sword at his waist, and his eyes were red. He had just received news from the capital. As soon as he left, the emperor issued an order to take the child away.

At this time, Xue Wenyu was still on the way, with a gloomy face, his hand on the sword at his waist, and his eyes were red. He had just received news from the capital, and just as he left, the emperor ordered to send the child to Youcheng, and with that woman.

"Master, what should we do? Please make a decision quickly...
