I am the stepmother of my son, and the little villain has changed into a little cotton-padded jacket

Mr. Shi and the Third Aunt were both stunned. They didn't know what Zhao Sixian meant by this, nor did they understand why Wen Shutang suddenly laughed. They just felt that this smile was definitely not a friendly one.

Xiao Yizhuo, who was standing behind Wen Shutang, also raised the corners of his lips and showed a smile on his face.

Perhaps because Wen Shutang smiled too brightly, Shi Yuanwai glared at her angrily: "What's so funny? What does this mean?"

Wen Shutang cleared his throat, put away his smile and looked at Shi Yuanwai: "I said you have a really big face, so big that a horse can run on your face, do you understand now? Why are you barking like a dog when you can't even understand what I'm saying? Go and study with your son and review your lessons."

Upon hearing this, Shi Yuanwai was immediately furious. He turned around and pointed at Zhao Sixian's nose and shouted, "You old fool, how dare you humiliate me like this? You really don't know how powerful I am, right? Fine, fine, none of you can leave easily today. I don't think this academy needs to continue to operate."

Zhao Sixian sneered and looked at Shi Yuanwai with some disdain in his eyes: "Shi Yuanwai's words are a bit too exaggerated. The person who can make my academy fail has not been born yet. I always thought the words in those books were vulgar, but now it seems that they are really suitable for you."

Shi Yuanwai was stunned: "What did you say?"

"I will try to watch the crab with a cold eye and see how long you can run rampant."

Mr. Shi still didn't understand the meaning of this sentence. While he was trying to figure it out, Wen Shutang was already holding his stomach and laughing so hard that he couldn't straighten his back.

She originally thought that Zhao Sixian was a conservative old man, but now it seems that not only is he not so conservative, but he is also keeping up with the trend of the times.

Shi Yuanwai couldn't stand it anymore, stared at Wen Shutang and asked her: "What does this mean, can you please stop laughing!"

Wen Shutang cleared his throat, trying to stop laughing, rubbing his belly which hurt from laughing, and said slowly: "Master means that we will just watch you act silly and see how long you can keep pretending."

Mr. Shi was stunned and muttered a few words over and over again before he realized that Zhao Sixian was scolding him. He was immediately furious and his fingers were shaking with anger.

"You, you! You old bastard! If I don't teach you a lesson today, I won't be able to go back!"

As he said this, he was about to walk forward and push Zhao Sixian. Wen Shutang's eyes flashed. He naturally would not allow Shi Yuanwai to be so rude to Zhao Sixian, so he immediately walked forward and was about to attack him.

But he was interrupted by a voice.

"Ah - Mr. Shi has such great power that he actually caused trouble in Mingde Academy."

Everyone turned to look, and saw Song Zhoubai walking in in a casual and elegant manner, wearing a white robe and holding a folding fan. Beside him was a young man who looked very noble.

The two of them had such different temperaments that they immediately attracted everyone's attention. When Mr. Shi saw the two of them, his expression changed immediately. He immediately put on a smiling face and walked forward to flatter them.

"How did you two young masters find time to come here? Isn't this Master Pei? When did you come to Qingshui Town? Why didn't you tell me so that I could quickly host a banquet for you?"

The person following Song Zhoubai was none other than Pei Sheng.

Looking at the two people's high-end appearance, Wen Shutang couldn't help but complain in his heart.

As Mr. Shi spoke, he stretched out his hand warmly to touch Pei Sheng, but was blocked by Song Zhoubai's folding fan.

"Hey--"

He looked at Mr. Shi with a smile, but there was no trace of smile in his eyes: "Master Shi, don't be so anxious to get close to him. Why did I hear you just say that you want to make Mingde Academy closed down?"

When Mr. Shi heard what he said, his expression froze and he felt awkward for a moment but quickly suppressed it.

"How could that be? Young Master Song must have heard it wrong. How could I be so capable of stopping Mr. Zhao's academy from continuing to operate?"

Zhao Sixian has been teaching for many years and has taught many outstanding students. Song Zhoubai happens to be one of them. Zhao Sixian also went to Baiping Town to give lectures that year, and Pei Sheng was also taught by Zhao Sixian. To a certain extent, Song Zhoubai and Pei Sheng were both students of Zhao Sixian.

Song Zhoubai closed his folding fan in a flash, and the smile on his face completely disappeared, replaced by a hint of coldness.

"It's better this way. You should also know how much my old man respects the master. If the master is not satisfied with anything, your Shi family's business will be over. Mr. Shi also knows my methods, and he must understand that my words are not empty words."

As soon as he finished speaking, the cold sweat on Shi Yuanwai's forehead suddenly dropped. He bent over and nodded repeatedly, without any trace of the arrogance he had just shown.

"Yes, Young Master Song has spoken, so I naturally understand."

Hearing his words, Song Zhoubai snorted coldly and then walked towards Zhao Sixian, bowed respectfully and said hello: "Student greets the teacher, how are you?"

Zhao Sixian smiled and looked at Song Zhoubai and Pei Sheng: "Okay, why are you two here?"

"Thanks to Madam Wen for sending someone to inform me of this matter in time. Ah Sheng happened to be a guest at my house, so we came here together. As soon as we entered the door, we heard those treasonous words." Song Zhoubai explained respectfully while standing aside.

Pei Sheng, who had been acting as a background, also walked up to Zhao Sixian and saluted: "Greetings, Master."

From beginning to end, she didn't even glance at Shi Yuanwai, as if she was disdainful of talking to him.

Mr. Shi just stood there, feeling so embarrassed that he didn't know what to do.

After greeting Zhao Sixian, Pei Sheng turned his head to look at Wen Shutang, a warm smile rising on his handsome face.

"Madam Wen, long time no see."

Wen Shutang nodded slightly: "It's been a while since we last met. I wonder how Mr. Pei's tea business is going?"

"Thanks to you, the shopkeeper Li Yutang who I took you to meet last time has already told the eldest young master of the Fang family in the capital about this matter. I guess I will have to leave for the capital in a few days." Pei Sheng said with a smile.

Wen Shutang raised his eyebrows. Pei Sheng is heading to the capital now? It seems that becoming an imperial merchant is just around the corner. Then her day of rapid rise to prominence is not far away.

Song Zhoubai also came over and said in a teasing tone, "Madam Wen, don't just chat with Ah Sheng. Last time you said you would come to Zhaixinglou to teach a new recipe, but you haven't responded yet. The diners of Zhaixinglou can't wait to eat the new dishes."

"I've been busy these days. Let's go when we have some free time." Wen Shutang waved his hand in response.

Mr. Shi, who was standing nearby, looked at Wen Shutang and the two noblemen chatting happily and thought for a moment that he was seeing things.

No, how did this woman gain the favor of these two gentlemen?

It’s bad, it’s bad. It seems like I have really hit a wall this time.
