If Jiang Shihuan had really plotted against him today, even if the story of Ayan stealing was fake, Master Jiang would not let Ayan go.

If it was Jiang Shihuan, even if she turned black into white, she would just be scolded a few times and the matter would be dealt with perfunctorily.

Jiang Yanwan lowered her eyebrows and bowed slightly: "Since the misunderstanding has been resolved, I will take my leave. Ah Yan will go to the palace to accompany me in my studies tomorrow, and I will make some preparations for him."

Mr. Jiang hummed lightly.

After a sleepless night, Jiang Yanwan got up early the next day.

She personally tidied Ayan's clothes. He wore a neat long gown with an exquisite jade pendant, which made him look elegant yet lively like a child.

She gently reminded him, "Ayan, you must be kind to others in school, but you must not lose your backbone. Mother believes that you can handle everything."

Ah Yan nodded obediently, his eyes flashing with curiosity about the unknown world and a hint of determination that was barely noticeable, "Don't worry, mother, I will study hard and protect myself."

The mother and son walked hand in hand through the bustling palace corridor.

Along the way, Ayan was full of interest in every mural and every stone sculpture, and kept asking questions, and Jiang Yanwan patiently answered them.

The heartwarming scene between mother and son attracted the attention of many palace servants passing by, who cast envious glances at them.

Finally, they arrived at the gate of the Royal School, where many royal children gathered, all dressed in gorgeous clothes and with different expressions.

Jiang Yanwan stopped at the door and looked at Ah Yan deeply, as if she wanted to concentrate all her encouragement and love in this look, then she gently pushed him and said, "Go."

A Yan held his head high and walked into the school, with his mother's warm gaze behind him and unknown challenges ahead of him.

The school is spacious and bright, with a strong scholarly atmosphere.

A Yan's arrival caused a small commotion. Some children looked at him curiously, while others showed unfriendly expressions.

Among them, a young man dressed luxuriously and with an arrogant look on his face was none other than Zhao Mingyuan, a little bully who was quite famous in the royal family. He glanced at A Yan with a sneer on his face.

"Hey, isn't this our illegitimate little genius? Why, you want to join in the fun here too?" Zhao Mingyuan deliberately raised his voice, and laughter and whispers instantly broke out around him.

Ah Yan's face was calm, and there was no fear in his eyes. "I'm here to learn, not to join in the fun. Mr. Zhao, perhaps we can become friends and make progress together."

Zhao Mingyuan sneered, "Friend? Just you? Humph, today I'll let you see what the royal rules are."

As he said this, he signaled to a few followers, who dragged Ah Yan to the toilet in the backyard of the school while the teacher was not paying attention, and then locked the door from the outside.

"Haha, see how you get out!" Zhao Mingyuan was very proud, and the children around him also followed suit, as if this was a funny prank.

However, A Yan did not panic. He looked around and found some cleaning tools piled up in the corner. He quickly came up with an idea.

He picked up a large wooden barrel, quietly opened the window, used the well in the backyard of the school to draw water in buckets, and then... waited quietly.

Soon, Zhao Mingyuan came back triumphantly with a group of children, ready to laugh at A Yan's joke.

Just as they were approaching the toilet and were about to laugh at him, Ah Yan suddenly opened the window.

Buckets of clean water mixed with some "special materials" poured out and splashed accurately onto the people outside the door.

"Ah——!" Screams, curses, and hurried footsteps intertwined together.

Zhao Mingyuan and others were in a miserable state, soaked all over, and emitting a bad smell, which attracted more people to watch and laugh at them.

Ah Yan stood by the window with a sly smile on his face. "Mr. Zhao, this is what I want to tell you. Wisdom and courage are more powerful than any status. Next time, why not compete with each other in an upright way?"

After saying this, he calmly left through the back door, leaving behind a group of royal family members looking at each other in bewilderment.

That evening, when Ayan met Jiang Yanwan again, he recounted what had happened during the day in a lighthearted manner.

After hearing this, Jiang Yanwan felt both distressed and proud, and gently hugged her son.

As night fell, Jiang Yanwan set out alone on the quiet path towards the Governor's Mansion.

The moonlight was bright, illuminating her resolute yet gentle face. She was thinking in her heart how to convince the powerful Wu Junyao.

The Wu Mansion is magnificent and heavily guarded.

Jiang Yanwan was led to an elegantly decorated study room. The flickering candlelight illuminated Wu Junyao's angular outline.

He sat behind his desk, his eyes deep, as if he could see into people's hearts.

"Miss Jiang, what's the important matter that brings you here so late at night?" Wu Junyao's voice was low and powerful, with a certain majesty that could not be ignored.

Jiang Yanwan bowed slightly and said sincerely, "General Wu, I am here for my son Ah Yan. As you know, he is a special person and is inevitably excluded by others in the palace. I don't expect him to get extra protection. I just hope that you can do your best to prevent him from suffering unnecessary harm. If you are willing to protect me, I will restore your ability as a man."

Both of them knew exactly what this ability was.

Wu Junyao raised his eyebrows, his eyes flickered, as if he had caught something: "How ridiculous! You promised me before that you would cure the hidden disease, so I helped you get this kid out of the temple. Now, are you going to raise the price?"

Jiang Yanwan's heart tightened.

She slowly took a few steps forward and said softly, "Brother Yao, that's not what I meant, but this is the only sincerity I can offer."

Before he finished speaking, Wu Junyao suddenly stood up, walked to her with big strides, and gently pressed her against the corner of the wall, creating a subtle sense of oppression.

"Oh? Then how does Madam plan to show this sincerity?"

Jiang Yanwan took a deep breath and made a decision.

She slowly raised her hand, gently touched Wu Junyao's cheek, then closed her eyes and took the initiative to give him a gentle but firm kiss.

At the corner of his lips, a tiny poisonous insect with gleaming golden tentacles crawled up his collar to the back of his neck.

Following a slight stinging pain, Wu Junyao felt a surge of evil fire suddenly rising in his lower abdomen.

He hasn't felt this way for a long time.

This move was obviously beyond Wu Junyao's expectations.

He was stunned for a moment, and then a complicated light flashed in his eyes.

Jiang Yanwan took a step back, regained her usual dignity, and said softly: "This is my sincerity, I hope you can remember today's agreement."

Wu Junyao's eyes gradually softened, and he nodded slightly: "Okay, it's a deal."

As the night deepened, Jiang Yanwan left the Governor's Mansion with mixed feelings.

She knew she was taking a risky move, but for Ayan, she was willing to bear everything.
