"My cousin is going to the academy too?" Jiang Mushi asked as he drank his porridge. "Does my cousin want to live in our house permanently?"

"Yes, I have already talked to your father. Yan'er will live in our house from now on." Zheng looked at Jiang Zhitong.

The latter knew that his wife loved this niece, so he had no objection, "You can stay as long as you want. It's just a matter of adding another pair of chopsticks anyway."

When Sui Ning came before, he was indeed a little nervous. After all, he was the one who brought the person back. If he was uncomfortable with her or he was not taken good care of, then it would be his responsibility.

But Yan'er is different. She is the Madam's niece and this is not her first time here. She looks well-behaved so there is no need to worry.

"Thank you, uncle!" Zheng Yan'er said with a smile and looked at Zheng again.

The latter continued, "Since she is going to stay here for a long time, she can't stay at home bored all the time, so I thought, let her go to the academy with Mu Shi, so that she can have a companion."

"As long as my cousin is willing, I have no problem." Jiang Mushi said indifferently.

"Of course I do. I love reading." Zheng Yan'er said immediately.

Although she didn't like studying when she was at home, she invited a teacher to her home at that time, so no matter how well she studied, not many people would know about it.

But now it’s different. Jiang Suining has received so much praise for his good performance in the academy. If Jiang Suining can do it, then naturally she can do it too.

As for the matter of the shop, although she has just arrived and has not mentioned it to her aunt, she will have to open a shop sooner or later. What Jiang Suining can do, she can do too, and even better!

Jiang Suining picked up a crystal steamed dumpling, and when he sensed a gaze coming from the side, he turned his head to look.

Although Zheng Yan'er quickly changed her expression and smiled sweetly at Jiang Suining, Jiang Suining still saw the full fighting spirit in the other's eyes.

She looked away and chuckled in her heart.

It seems that Zheng Yan'er regards herself as an imaginary enemy.

In fact, no matter why Zheng Yan'er wanted to go to the academy, as a woman, she hoped that she could seize the opportunity and learn something well.

Of course, I also hope that the academy can make her realize that I am not her enemy.

If she really had a lot of fighting spirit and ambition, she should have fought against the unfair rules of the world against women and those men who had innate advantages.

……

Perhaps because the weather was too hot, some trees could not withstand the scorching heat and their leaves fell and turned yellow early, appearing to be withering earlier than in previous autumns.

After the high temperature lasted for more than a month, there was finally a hint of coolness in the wind.

However, due to the previous lessons, no one let down their guard, fearing that the temperature would come back suddenly.

Jiang Suining stood in the Jiang family's garden, feeling the coolness, and knew in his heart that it was over.

The hot weather that has lasted for more than a month will soon come to an end, and the weather will return to what it should be in this season.

"Miss." Biyun walked over from the entrance of the garden.

"Is all the ice sold out?" According to her previous plan, the ice should be sold out in these few days.

"Sold out." Biyun nodded.

Jiang Suining looked at Biyun's somewhat depressed expression and laughed.

"Before you were worried that we were losing money, but now we have made a lot of money just from the ice. Why are you not happy?"

"Miss, I am of course happy to make money, but..." Biyun hesitated as she looked at Jiang Suining. After a moment's hesitation, she gritted her teeth and said, "Miss, I heard some discussions."

"What's the discussion?"

"There are servants in the mansion talking about you, young lady, a woman who has been out in the public eye and devoted to business. With such ambition, you will definitely compete with the young master for the family property in the future." Biyun frowned.

This is complete nonsense. She was almost mad when she heard this.

Why haven't people in the mansion been gossiping about the young lady when she's using ice during this period of time? Now that the weather has just gotten a little cooler, they're already talking about the young lady behind her back.

Compared to Biyun's anger, Jiang Suining was calmer and comforted Biyun, "It's just some gossip."

She had expected these words to be spread, but because of Bing's incident, everyone in the mansion was praising her, so suddenly such discussions came out...

Jiang Suining was thoughtful.

"Miss!" Biyun obviously disagreed with her young lady's attitude. "Even if you are upright, you have nothing to fear. But what if this gets to the young master's ears and he misunderstands?"

Jiang Suining looked at Biyun with a smile, "A person with a clear conscience has nothing to fear. Are you so sure that I have never set my sights on the Jiang family's assets?"

"Of course!" Biyun said without hesitation, "Miss, you even returned the three thousand taels of silver. I can see that you don't want to think about the Jiang family's property at all. And you have the ability to make a lot of money on your own."

The lady had told her before that only when you get it by yourself and hold it firmly in your hands can you feel at ease. Waiting for others to give it to you, or taking advantage of others, is not reassuring.

Since the young lady thinks so, how could she possibly think about dividing the family property? Besides, the master and the mistress are in good health, and if they really want the family property, it is unknown when they will get it.

Jiang Suining looked at Biyun, with a hint of relief in his eyes.

"I'm glad you think this way, but you've always been by my side. Unlike others, you can't expect others to think the same way as you do. As for Jiang Mushi..."

Jiang Suining smiled more clearly, "He probably won't believe these words so easily."

"But what if..." Before Biyun could finish her words, she saw Jiang Mushi passing by the garden gate.

"Young Master!" Biyun called out hurriedly.

However, Jiang Mushi just stopped and looked at them, without saying a word, he looked away and hurried away.

Biyun's face froze. "Miss, it's over. Could it be that the young master believed those gossips and now has a rift with you?"

Normally, the young master never has this attitude when he sees the young lady.

"Don't think too much about it. He just didn't say hello. The academy will have an exam soon. Maybe he is busy reviewing his lessons." Jiang Suining said calmly.

Biyun looked at her young lady's appearance, but she couldn't feel at ease.

Over the next two days, Jiang Suining still ignored the rumors. He even saw the servants talking about them twice, but he just smiled and didn't even scold them.

Seeing this, the servants who were originally discussing the matter became bolder, and people from top to bottom in the mansion talked about it even more enthusiastically.

Finally, a few days later, when Jiang Suining returned home, he was called directly to the lobby...
