When the prince is reborn, he will only hit me if he doesn't hit the wall!

When Old Madam Xu thought of this, she could no longer control herself. Even with the help of a cane, her body still shook uncontrollably.

"Mom!" Xu Guanghai noticed that something was wrong with the old woman, and he and Yang stood on her left and right to help her steady her body.

"I have delivered my message. I will leave now. The old lady does not look well. Please take care of yourself!"

"You..." Old Madam Xu wanted to refute, but she was exhausted and collapsed.

"mother!"

"Tell the whole government to stay away from them!"

"Mom, who should we stay away from?" Xu Jiangqing also rushed over to check on the old lady's condition.

The old lady slapped Xu Jiangqing in the face and shouted with all her remaining strength, "Stay away from whom? Stay away from the third house. No, stay away from Xu Yuanshan and his daughter!!

We can't afford to offend, but we can't afford to hide! ? "

"Mother, but..." Xu Jiangqing wanted to say something else, but Old Madam Xu pointed at his nose and scolded him, "It's all because of you, you idiot! You caused all the trouble!"

Before she could finish her shout, Old Madam Xu rolled her eyes and fell on her back.

The affairs of the Xu Mansion were described in detail by the "spy" arranged by Xu Mingxi to pass on the news.

He was called a spy, but in fact he was just a "servant". When he talked about Wu's head and Prince Rong's plan to send the "arms" and "legs" back to Xu's house, he felt like vomiting several times, but he suppressed his nausea and finished his words.

Xu Mingxi listened with a frown, the hairs on his body stood up, and he unconsciously moved closer to the ground dragon.

"I understand, please go back."

She gave the servant some reward money and sent him back to Xu's house.

"Miss, Wu...what about the Sixth Miss?"

She thought: Since Wu is already dead, telling Xu Yuqiong won't save anything, so it's better to keep it stable and talk about it after some time.

Xu Mingxi closed his eyes and said, "Don't tell her for now, lest she be distracted and reveal her true colors at Prince Qi's mansion.

Pretend you don’t know anything and we’ll talk about it after we return to Xu’s residence.”

Today was a rare sunny day, so Xu Xinyue made an appointment with the academy to go there to negotiate and win business for the bookstore.

She was still dressed in her usual men's attire, but unlike in the past, today she had a tall and strong bodyguard by her side.

Qin Yuechuan's outfit was exactly the same as Xuan Yi's in the past, except that he wore a black iron mask that half-covered his face.

In the carriage, Qin Yuechuan asked:

"Which academy is Yueyue going to today?"

"Yujin Academy."

“Why did you choose it?”

“Yujin Academy is not a royal academy, nor is it the top-notch one, but it is much more prestigious than ordinary academies.

I heard that the price fluctuation of bookstores affects many academies, and the top royal academies may not care much. So it is not the first choice.

Ordinary academies do not have such confidence and usually strive to be safe and follow the trend. Therefore, we can only start with medium-sized academies that care about money and have a little strength.

Yujin Academy is the best of its kind. If it succeeds, the others will follow."

Xu Xinyue's words made sense, and one could tell at a glance that he must have done a lot of homework recently.

Qin Yuechuan looked at her with a smile but did not answer.

After traveling for about half an hour, the carriage stopped.

Yujin Academy is built on a small hill with beautiful scenery.

Although it is winter now, the green cypresses on both sides of the mountain road still stand proudly, showing no signs of winter decay.

The two of them climbed up the stairs and soon arrived at the entrance of Yujin Academy.

He stopped a scholar who was sweeping the floor at the door and took out a visiting card from his pocket: "Sir, could you please pass this visiting card to the dean? I have an appointment with him."

The scholar who was cleaning the house looked up and saw a handsome young man. He was not short, and his slender figure was highlighted in a light blue brocade round-collar robe. He smiled at him gently and held a visiting card in his hand.

The young man behind her was half a head taller than her, with a half mask covering his face. He was dressed in dark Shu brocade and had a long sword at his waist. Even though his face could not be seen clearly, his aura was indescribably cold and sharp.

These two people, who obviously have completely different auras, are surprisingly harmonious and pleasing to the eye.

The cleaning scholar was stunned for a moment, took the note, and turned around to pass on the message.

At this moment, Xu Xinyue was rehearsing her speech in her mind, thinking about how to speak later so as to get the deal as soon as possible.

Seeing that her eyes were deep and thoughtful, Qin Yuechuan did not say anything to disturb her. He just stood quietly beside her and waited for news.

"Xiao Lang-jun?"

Xu Xinyue was still thinking when she heard a woman's soft voice. She was about to turn her head to look, but Qin Yuechuan reacted faster than Xu Xinyue and stepped forward to stop the person.

Xu Xinyue's vision was completely blocked.

The woman seemed to be frightened by Qin Yuechuan's reaction and took a step back unconsciously: "I, I have no ill intentions, it's just, it's just, do you want some snacks?"

"Snacks?" Xu Xinyue poked her head from behind Qin Yuechuan in confusion. "Miss, you and I don't seem to know each other?"

Xu Xinyue looked at the girl, who had round eyes, plump cheeks, a blunt and straight nose, pursed her pink lips, and held a bamboo basket shyly: "I don't know you... Young man, you are so beautiful, I will treat you to some snacks.

Are you...married?"

Qin Yuechuan was displeased and was about to speak, but Xu Xinyue held his arm and smiled apologetically: "Miss, I'm sorry, I already have someone I like."

"Ah...Is that so? Then, then she..."

Seeing that she wanted to say something else, Xu Xinyue simply went all out and put her arm around Qin Yuechuan's arm, tilting her head and leaning against him: "He is the man I like, girl."

This is not wrong.

The little girl's eyes widened, and the basket in her hand almost fell to the ground: "You, you...but you are all..."

"Yeah." Xu Xinyue nodded hurriedly.

Qin Yuechuan still looked at the little girl expressionlessly, without any intention of denying it.

"I, I, I'm sorry!"

Without waiting for Xu Xinyue to say anything else, the little girl ran away holding the basket.

Xu Xinyue was left laughing with great joy.

Qin Yuechuan rubbed her head helplessly: "Naughty."

Xu Xinyue smiled until her eyes narrowed into crescents: "How should I know what she is thinking? Anyway, what I said is the truth."

Qin Yuechuan smiled softly and said, "Yeah."

While they were joking, the scholar who was sweeping the floor came over to them and said, "You two, the dean wants to see you."

Xu Xinyue stopped smiling, nodded seriously, and followed him into the academy.

Not far away, Qi Mobai looked around, as if looking for something.

"elder brother."

"Ayu, where have you been? How come you disappeared as soon as I turned around?"

Qi Maiyu handed over the basket listlessly: "Mom made this for you."

"What's wrong with you? Why do you look so listless?" Qi Mobai noticed that something was wrong with Qi Maiyu.

Qi Maiyu sighed: "Ah - Brother, tell me, why do all the good-looking young men like..."

"What do you like?"

"Oh, it's nothing, eat quickly, brother."

Seeing her strangeness, Qi Mobai thought she was just worried about something and didn't ask any more questions. He picked up the basket and was about to return to the academy: "I'll go back now. You should also go home early and don't let mother worry."

"Brother, your salary——"

"You don't have to worry. The dean said that the situation has changed and he probably won't need that much silver."

"Seriously?"

"Well, I don't know who dissuaded me from doing so, but the dean has postponed the tuition."

"I heard that your dean is very old-fashioned. The person who can persuade the dean must be very powerful. I really want to see what kind of person he is!"

Qi Mobai nodded in agreement: "Indeed. I am also curious...

I won't say any more. Go back now."

"I'm leaving!"

At the same time, Xu Xinyue and Qin Yuechuan followed the scholar, passing through the academy, library, and prison cells. Occasionally, the sound of reading aloud could be heard, and there were also students discussing books and strategies with each other in the pavilion. The atmosphere of books was very strong.

When they reached the door of a teahouse, the scholar pointed at the door and said, "I will take you here. Please do as you please."
