The Xiaoru Academy in the capital begins its four-day monthly holiday today.

Because a large number of students came out to play, Leguang Town outside the academy was particularly lively today.

Outside the most famous dim sum shop in town, nine-year-old Pei Xuan was queuing in the crowd with his servant Dian Mo.

He was wearing a jade-white brocade robe. Although the color was not flashy, the texture and embroidery were of high quality. He had a jade belt around his waist, his body was straight, and his facial features were delicate yet heroic. He had an extraordinary temperament.

Even in Xiaoru Academy, where the children of the powerful and the best students from other places gathered, he was extremely outstanding.

Now, among the many servants and maids queuing up, she stands out from the crowd, and passers-by will take a few more glances at her.

The summer sun was very strong, and soon, Pei Xuan began to sweat slightly on his forehead.

Seeing this, Dian Mo beside him advised:

"Second Young Master, why don't you go wait in the carriage? I'll just wait in line here!"

Pei Xuan shook his head firmly:

"This is my filial piety to my mother, how can I let others do it for me? I heard that the snacks here are sweet and sour and delicious. I hope my mother can have some appetite after eating them."

Dian Mo's eyes flashed with deep meaning, and he said with a smile:

"The second young master is very filial. Even if Madam can't eat, she will definitely be happy. I'll get you an umbrella!"

Pei Xuan did not refuse this time.

The reason why Pei Xuan was in Xiaoru Academy instead of Zhang's private school started when he returned to Beijing.

When Pei Jin's leg needed treatment and the third daughter Pei Rongniang needed to be sent to Cihang Monastery for training, Pei Xiao had negotiated conditions with Zhang Jinghong to let Pei Xuan study with the third master of the Zhang family.

However, by the time they arrived in the capital and got off the boat, the Zhang and Pei families had already fallen out because Zhang Jinghong had exposed Zhang's poisoning.

Zhang Jinghong directly took Pei Jin back to the Zhang family's direct branch.

After settling down, Ben also wanted to fulfill his original promise and take Pei Xuan to study there to compensate his sister for practicing in Cihang Temple for Pei Jin.

But Pei Xuan flatly refused.

Show loyalty to Zhang in front of everyone:

"I was raised by my mother. My uncle slandered my mother for harming my elder brother. I will not go to the Zhang Mansion to study!"

After hearing this, Zhang was very pleased and moved:

"My dear child, your mother's love for you is not in vain. Now that you and your father believe me, I feel much better."

At that time, Pei Xuan felt like a pie in the sky, a perfect turn of events.

After Pei Jin was successfully cured of his "impotence", he also blamed his biological mother in his heart for being useless and failing to stop the abbot of Cihang Temple, which made him lose his hope of becoming an adopted son.

Who could have thought that in just over twenty days, just after arriving in the capital, the Jingnan Marquis' Mansion had a falling out with the Zhang family's direct branch.

Not only that, he also took Pei Jin, the eldest son, to Zhang's house to be raised and would not come back until he was twenty years old.

In this way, he became the actual eldest son of the Pei family.

His stepmother is infertile, so as long as he is filial to her, it will be only a matter of time before he is registered as the legitimate son.

However, his dream was soon shattered again.

Not long after the Chinese New Year, it was discovered that Zhang, the stepmother, was pregnant.

Only then did he realize that the reason why Zhang Jinghong said with such certainty that the stepmother had harmed Pei Jin was because the stepmother had been able to give birth a long time ago.

Pei Xuan felt like he was struck by lightning and was depressed for a long time.

I just feel that fate is so unfair to me.

It would have been fine if he was born in the womb of a maid, but that maid's biological mother didn't love him at all.

I originally thought that his biological mother had poisoned Pei Jin in a desperate attempt to save his future, but it turned out to be all fake.

She was thrown out as a scapegoat by her stepmother simply because she was too useless.

If the stepmother is able to give birth, she will give birth to a son sooner or later.

He had no chance of becoming a legitimate son and would have to bear the title of a bastard's son for the rest of his life.

However, he did not have the courage or ability to poison his stepmother so that she could not have children.
