Rebirth, guarding the mute at the tip of my heart

"It turns out that he has married the prince. Big brother was so arrogant in front of our father and mother just now!" As soon as he saw the two of them leave, Jiang Daiyu immediately pulled a long face and sneered at Jiang Xin.

She is not like Jiang Liangcai, who has been humble since childhood, nor is she like Jiang Xingyu, who is placed with high hopes by Jiang Zhengchu and is often scolded and criticized.

Not to mention Fu Xuerong, even Jiang Zhengchu was quite fond of this only legitimate daughter.

In her entire life, she had never seen her mother being bullied like this, and the wound on her father's face was also caused by that prince.

And this mute, probably thinking he had someone backing him up, chatted and laughed with the prince at their dining table, not paying any attention to them at all.

In Jiang Daiyu's eyes, this was a huge injustice! What was there to be proud of as a mute? !

Jiang Daiyu was unhappy and naturally didn't want Jiang Xin to have an easy time. As soon as the prince left, he immediately got angry.

Jiang Xin paused when he heard this, just looked up at Jiang Daiyu, and then continued to eat his food.

He couldn't speak, and if he argued with Jiang Daiyu, he would have to take out paper and pen to write. He didn't want to write while eating. Not to mention the trouble, it would be too ugly if the soup accidentally spilled on the paper.

Besides, Jiang Daiyu was just making a few sarcastic remarks out of habit when he saw him, so it would be fine if he didn't respond.

If it was normal, Jiang Daiyu might not think anything of Jiang Xin's appearance. After all, Jiang Xin couldn't speak, and she was too lazy to read when he stopped to write.

But now, Jiang Xin's silent look made Jiang Daiyu even more unhappy. She felt that he had a backer, so she no longer took her seriously. She held her breath for a few times and couldn't help but choked:

"You are just a mute. Do you really think that you will be able to rise to prominence in the future if you become the prince's study companion? Mother, brother, sister, I am not well-informed. I have never heard of a mute official from ancient times to the present. Have you ever heard of this?"

Jiang Xingyu looked at Jiang Xin and sneered. Although he didn't say anything, his expression said it all.

Fu Xuerong still maintained her airs as the mistress of the house, and reprimanded her in a gentle tone, "Yu'er, don't talk while eating or sleeping. Don't forget the rules while your father is away."

After saying that, Fu Xuerong added calmly: "You should learn this from Big Brother."

Jiang Daiyu finally smiled happily after hearing this: "Mom, you said it just in time. When it comes to this rule, big brother really does it very well. He learned it by himself without any teacher."

"..." Jiang Xin pursed his lips, quickly finished the egg that His Highness had picked for him, finished the porridge in the bowl, put down his chopsticks, took out a pen and paper, and quickly wrote a line of words.

[I'm done eating, mother, enjoy your meal slowly.]

After writing, he sat down at the dinner table and waited for the prince. As for Jiang Daiyu's words, he pretended not to hear them.

Jiang Daiyu: “…”

Fu Xuerong & Jiang Xingyu: "..."

What they didn't know was that while Jiang Daiyu was being sarcastic, Xie Ze and Jiang Zhengchu outside the house did not leave.

After the two men walked out of the house, Xie Ze stood at the door. When he saw Jiang Zhengchu speaking, he waved his hand to signal the other party to be patient. Then the two of them also heard the above episode clearly.

Jiang Zhengchu's face darkened instantly. He had just said that Fu Xuerong was good at managing the household, but now Xie Ze heard that she indulged her daughter in being disrespectful to her brother. Wasn't this a slap in his face?

Jiang Zhengchu suppressed his anger and said to Xie Ze in a low voice with some embarrassment: "Yu'er has been spoiled by me and my wife. She is indeed a little arrogant. I will discipline her strictly. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

"Why do you need to ask me for the trivial matters of Lord Jiang's family?" Xie Ze replied calmly, and then opened the door. When the person inside looked over, he smiled with his eyes curved: "Ah Xin, come here."

Jiang Xin didn't want to be in the same room with those people, so he immediately stood up and followed them obediently.

Xie Ze smiled when he saw this: "We're almost late for school, let's go."

[Yes!] Jiang Xin nodded quickly and happily followed Xie Ze out the door.

"Your Majesty!" Jiang Zhengchu didn't even have the chance to ask his question before he watched Xie Ze leave. How could he bear to see him leave? He hurried forward to stop him, but Xie Ze looked at him with a fake smile: "Your Majesty, please take care of your family affairs first, and then discuss other matters with me."

Having said that, he shook off Lord Jiang's hand, took Jiang Xin and quickly left the Jiang family.

"Master." Fu Xuerong and the others also reacted at this time and hurriedly followed. Seeing his father's grim expression, Jiang Daiyu shouted anxiously: "Dad, did the prince hear our conversation just now? He..."

Before he could finish his words, Jiang Zhengchu slapped him hard in the face the next second.

"what--!"

"Yu'er!"

Jiang Daiyu was stunned by the slap. He covered his stinging cheek and looked at Jiang Zhengchu in disbelief: "Dad, you hit me?! You hit me for that loser?!"

"You still dare to say that?!" Jiang Zhengchu was already so angry that he had no place to vent. Besides, no matter how much he doted on his daughter, what did she mean compared to his own future?

"You're so impatient even when there's an outsider in the house. How could I have a stupid daughter like you?!" Jiang Zhengchu became angrier and angrier as he thought about it. Seeing that Jiang Daiyu still looked aggrieved, he slapped her again.

“Yu’er!” Fu Xuerong quickly protected Jiang Daiyu under her body and looked at Jiang Zhengchu cryingly: “Master, please forgive me. Yu’er is still young and doesn’t understand. Please don’t hit me…”

"If she doesn't know how to behave, teach her well!" Jiang Zhengchu was angry and took his anger out on Fu Xuerong: "Do you know that she ruined my plan? From today on, you must teach her the rules at home. If you can't teach her well, don't go out and show off!"

After saying this, Jiang Zhengchu flicked his sleeves and left with a sullen face.

It seems that Xie Ze will not get an answer to Fu Yuquan's matter. He can't just sit there and wait for death. He has to find a way to investigate it and find out where the mistake was made and where the tail was left...

"You will study here from now on. You can study as long as you want. No one will chase you away." Xie Ze took Jiang Xin into the Imperial Academy and pointed to the classroom, saying, "Go in. I'll pick you up at noon."

As everyone knows, the Imperial College is a place where true nobles study. The most direct benefit for those who study here is that they can directly enter the provincial examination without having to pass the examination for a scholar. This can be regarded as a preferential treatment given by Your Majesty to these aristocratic families.

Of course, in order to ensure a certain degree of fairness, not everyone, even from aristocratic families, could enroll in the Imperial Academy and become a student. Otherwise, the court officials would be monopolized by aristocratic families, and the children of poor families would have no chance to succeed.

Each family only has one quota within two years. Therefore, even for a family like a marquis or a duke, only the eldest son has this opportunity.

Jiang Xin glanced at the few students who had arrived early in the classroom and were looking at him curiously. After hesitating for a while, he looked at Xie Ze with a smile: [Don't worry, Your Highness. I will take good care of myself.]

"...Yeah." Xie Ze responded a little depressed, watching the person he loved dearly leave him step by step.

He actually wanted to go in with them. Although it was boring to listen to those sour Confucianists talking about moral principles, he wouldn't be bored with Ah Xin accompanying him.

But he is now working in the Ministry of War and has not been to handle affairs for several days. The two officials from the Ministry of War have gone to his house to block him several times and went there again yesterday.

If he didn't go today, he suspected that the two old guys would go straight to the Imperial College to block him.

Thinking of this, Xie Ze became unhappy and walked towards the Ministry of War with murderous intent.

The people in the Ministry of War don't know at this moment that they are about to be exploited by an unsatisfied madman.
