She also felt that Empress Xie had good intentions.

For Yan Yuanan, she could even reject the emperor and allow the concubines in the harem to compete for his favor.

However, the capital was in the midst of a turbulent period, so the plan to go to Leyouyuan for an outing had to be put on hold.

Chunfen came in and replied, "Your Highness, people say that Lu Yi was hit and his brain was dumb. Now he has the IQ of a three-year-old. When Madam Lu brought him out of the palace, someone saw blood on the sheet covering his lower body."

At this point, she paused and hesitated: "It is said that he was castrated."

Castration?

Qin Yaoguang was surprised. It was a relief that Xie Shu could think of this.

In order to quell the Lu family scandal and prevent the Lu family, who had relied on him, from suffering any substantial losses, he actually resorted to such means.

Insidious, but effective.

Giving up a stupid second son to save the reputation of the Lu family, I believe everyone in the Lu family will settle the score.

All of Mrs. Lu's past doting on Lu Yi eventually made him reap the consequences.

It is unprecedented from ancient times to the present for a son of a noble family to be castrated.

The more half-hidden something is, the more it will spark discussion and sooner or later it will replace the previous scandal.

Qin Yaoguang thought about it and watched as Xie Shu was well versed in manipulating public opinion. He knew that the best way to get a piece of news out was not to arrest all the people who were talking behind their backs, but to create a more eye-catching breaking point.

Just like modern trending searches.

Just as he was thinking about it, Chun Ning walked in with a smile: "Royal sister, have you heard? Lu Yi has been castrated!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she couldn't help but laughed out loud: "He was actually castrated, hahahaha!"

I laughed so hard that I fell over.

Qin Yaoguang couldn't help laughing when she led him along: "Do you have any accurate information? Chunfen just told me about this."

"Of course I do."

Chun Ning sat down briskly, picked up a piece of peach cake and put it to his mouth, but did not rush to eat it: "Ever since he was taken into the palace, I have had people keep an eye on him. I didn't expect there would be such a good show to watch."

She was the legitimate daughter of the Empress Dowager and grew up in the palace. Although she might not be able to do other things, it was no problem for her to get information.

What's more, Xie Shu didn't intend to hide it.

Qin Yaoguang looked at her for a moment: "Are you really not distressed?"

"Thinking back to the Plum Garden, you came to beg for mercy even after I whipped him a few times. Now you are the palace..."

Before he finished speaking, Chun Ning leaned half of his body forward and blocked Qin Yaoguang's mouth with peach blossom pastry.

"Oh, my dear sister, can we not talk about the past?" She said with a sweet smile, "I already know I was wrong."

"You really know?"

Qin Yaoguang took the peach blossom pastry from his mouth, smiled and glanced at her: "When you and Su Hanlin get married, will you still spoil him?"

"No, no, no."

Chun Ning waved her hands repeatedly: "Sister, who do you think I am? Why don't you learn your lesson?"

It’s enough to have suffered a big loss once, do we have to make the same mistake again?

"As long as you know."

If my sister doesn't want to talk about the dark history, then I won't mention it. But when Qin Yaoguang didn't say anything, Chun Ning leaned back and muttered to himself, "Why did I treat this kind of person as a treasure as if I was blinded by lard at that time?"

Looking back at my past self now, I find it so stupid and ridiculous.

Qin Yaoguang didn't say anything.

No matter how much advice others give you, it is not as profound as your own understanding.

At this point, Qin Yaoguang finally felt relieved about Chun Ning.

She took a sip of the freshly made jasmine tea in the mansion, which was fragrant and refreshing.

Putting down the teacup, Qin Yaoguang asked with a smile: "Why did you think of coming here today?"

Ever since Gongsun Cang accepted Yan Yuanan as his disciple, Qin Yaoguang discussed with him and asked him to send two teachers from the academy to teach the children, and Chunning became completely free.

Unlike before, I have to go to the Princess's Mansion at a fixed time every day.

Now in the school of Zhufeng Academy, Yan Shouzhe is traveling with Fang Ting, while Yan Yuanan and Yan Shiyan are of similar age, so they go to Jiufeng Academy to study together.

Only two children were left: Yan Jinyin, who lived in the boudoir, and Yan Jinyang, the youngest.

In the afternoon, Yan Jinyin was taught by Qin Li to continue to improve his music, chess, calligraphy and painting; Yan Jinyang went to Master Qu's courtyard to learn medical skills.

Bai Lu got married again.

In just half a year, Zhufeng Courtyard has become much quieter than before.

Fortunately, in the evening, Yan Yuanan and Yan Shiyan could have dinner together after returning from the academy.

Qin Yaoguang thought that as the children grew older, they would one day go their separate ways and they would not have much time to be together.

He simply gave orders to set out meals in the flower hall every day so that they could have a lively dinner together.

When Chunning arrived, the sun was already setting and it would be time for dinner in a little while.

When Qin Yaoguang asked, Chun Ning said with a smile: "I heard about Lu Yi's situation and came to tell my sister the good news. Besides, I haven't seen the children for several days."

As happy as she was when Gongsun Cang came, she is as disappointed now.

Ever since she took the initiative to teach several children to read, she has never slacked off.

In fact, I do feel tired, but as long as I see the children learning eagerly, all the hard work disappears.

Qin Yaoguang smiled and said, "You came just in time. Manager Wan just sent a letter saying that he would prepare a fish feast. It's just in time for you to arrive."

When Chun Ning heard this, he said angrily, "Okay! You didn't even call me when there was something delicious."

"What delicacies has our Princess Chunning not tasted?"

Qin Yaoguang teased her and changed his tone to say seriously, "Sister, this fish feast is just a coincidence. I want to find a good day to hold a teacher appreciation banquet and treat you to a good meal."

Chun Ning worked hard to teach the children for several months regardless of weather conditions, helping her out of her immediate crisis, and only then did she have the energy to deal with the Cui family.

Now that Gongsun Cang has taken over, we can't just forget the old friendship.

Speaking of this, Chun Ning became shy and said, pinching her handkerchief, "Sister, we are a family, why do we need to be so polite?"

"Besides, I'm not a serious teacher. I just taught them a few words. I'm afraid I'll delay them. Just like Yuan An, I don't have anything to teach him anymore. He's learning on his own. I don't deserve a proper thank-you banquet."

"Sister, stop saying that."

Qin Yaoguang looked at her and said, "If it weren't for you, how could I trust the children to others?"

"Yuan'an is extremely talented. Even if he doesn't have a teacher like Xueyi, I plan to find him another famous teacher so that his talent will not be wasted."

Teaching students in accordance with their aptitude is the way to be responsible to every child.

After she came back, she was faced with a completely unfamiliar place and a myriad of things to do. She had to devote all her energy to it, and her child's education was the top priority.

Before developing a relationship with them, Qin Yaoguang didn't dare to let them go out to study, so he had to use the Xiao family's waste and temporarily take on the responsibility of enlightening them.

Later, when Chun Ning came into her life, she was finally completely relieved.

Qin Yaoguang said sincerely: "Sister, I have to let the children thank you."
