The mistress was reborn and broke off the engagement, the regent cried and begged to marry into the

Ling Ze curled his lips and looked away.

The housekeeper asked tentatively: "How about we find a reason to come and visit?"

"What excuse are you making? I'm not going, and you're not allowed to go either." Xie Qiuguang refused to do such a thing.

Ling Ze and the housekeeper looked at each other. Well, he is still stubborn. Let's see how long he can hold out.

The next morning.

Shi Jifeng arrived at Shangguan Mansion on time. Yang Lanyi greeted him with a smile and arranged for him to have a lesson in the study.

Shangguan Sitong was dragged along to learn together.

Shangguan Yunshu came here voluntarily, wanting to learn more.

Shangguan Chi, who was having fun, was very resistant to attending classes and looked reluctant.

The three siblings greeted each other and sat in a row.

Yang Lanyi was in a good mood: "Thank you, Master Shi. I'll go prepare some tea."

Shi Jifeng nodded and bowed to see him off.

As soon as the person in charge left, Shangguan Sitong and Shangguan Chi were too lazy to pretend.

One of them was lying on the table and yawning, while the other one was tearing paper into strips and crumpling them into small balls for fun.

Shi Jifeng was hit by a small ball of paper.

He was not angry, but smiled and asked, "What books did you read before?"

Shangguan Sitong lazily supported his chin with his hand: "Who knows? I haven't learned it for a long time, and I forgot it a long time ago."

He threw the paper ball at his second sister, and when she hit him, Shangguan Chi clapped his hands and cheered: "Sister, look how accurate I am."

Shangguan Sitong picked up the paper ball and threw it back unconvinced: "You are so stupid. Try hitting me again."

Shangguan Yunshu said helplessly: "Sorry, Mr. Shi. You take a rest first, and my elder sister will come and take care of them."

Shi Jifeng smiled and said, "No problem. You guys write a couplet and I'll take a look."

“Yes.” Shangguan Yunshu picked up the pen, dipped it in ink, and began to write.

The servant hurriedly changed the paper and reminded his master: "Master, just write whatever you want."

Shangguan Chi took the brush reluctantly and was very worried about what to write.

Just write. Shangguan Sitong held the pen and thought for a while, if he wrote badly, he might not be allowed to attend the class.

She smiled slyly and began to write.

Shi Jifeng walked over with his hands behind his back to take a look, and when he saw the words written by the second and fourth brothers, he shook his head helplessly.

Seeing Shangguan Yunshu's words, he nodded in appreciation. The situation is worse than imagined, and there is still a long way to go.

On the other side, there is no one in the house.

Shangguan Haitong meets the Fourth Prince.

Xie Qiheng poured a cup of tea and handed it over: "Father has not yet decided on the commander."

Shangguan Haitong smiled and took a sip of tea: "Rather than saying that the emperor has not yet decided, it is better to say that he needs an opportunity."

"What do you mean?" Xie Qiheng fanned the hot air and smelled the tea.

Shangguan Haitong put down his teacup and sat up straight: "Zhu Changji has just been fined, he needs some achievements."

The tea had cooled a little, so Xie Qiheng poured it out and refilled it: "Now that the capital is peaceful inside and outside, where can he ask for merit?"

"Merits are not divided into big or small. You can do it in the face of difficulties, or you can do it by human effort." Shangguan Haitong smiled lightly.

Xie Qiheng raised his eyes: "Interesting. Tell me more about it."

Shangguan Haitong lowered his eyes: "For example, the hooligans in the villages outside the city. They harass the people and cause public resentment. Does it count as a merit if Zhu Changji captures them? With this as a pretext, the position of commander will be easily obtained. Of course, some preparations need to be made in advance."

Create momentum and exaggerate things.

Only then can this achievement be shown off.

Xie Qiheng pondered and couldn't help laughing: "I heard that your sister was wronged some time ago. Are you venting your anger for her?"

Shangguan Haitong picked up the teacup and sipped the cold tea: "Your Highness, you are overthinking."

"You know whether you are overthinking or not. Since you want to frame someone, you might as well make the charge bigger. How about human trafficking?" Xie Qiheng smiled wickedly, "kidnap some nobles and cause a commotion. Then Zhu Changji can catch the criminals and make a legitimate contribution."

"Your Highness has a good plan. I will inform Zhu Changji to be prepared." Shangguan Haitong smiled.

Xie Qiheng raised his glass and raised his eyebrows: "That's great. I wish us success."

Shangguan Haitong raised her glass.

The matter was settled and she left the house.

Xie Qiheng immediately ordered his subordinates to do the work.

Shangguanfu.

Shangguan Haitong returned to the courtyard.

Huan Shuang came out to greet her: "Miss. The second lady, the third lady, and the fourth young master have already gone to class."

"Yes." Shangguan Haitong walked into the room and sat down. After thinking for a while, he waved, "Huan Shuang, send someone to the camp outside the capital."

Approaching, Huanshuang asked, "What do you need to tell me? It's not easy to enter the camp outside the capital."

Shangguan Haitong nodded: "I will write a letter later and you can deliver it. Someone will meet me when I get there."

"Okay." Huan Shuang thought about it, "Young lady, why don't you go and take a look? The Second Young Lady and the Fourth Young Master are not the type to listen attentively."

Sighing helplessly, Shangguan Haitong stood up and said, "I'll write the letter first. As for those two, it gives me a headache just talking about them."

Huanshuang covered her lips and chuckled.

Shangguan Haitong went to the study, wrote a letter in one go and gave it to Huanshuang.

Huanshuang found an inconspicuous servant and asked him to send it out.

After taking the letter, the servant left quickly.

Shangguan Haitong changed her clothes and went to the study to see how her younger brothers and sisters were doing in class.

She approached quietly, stood at the window and looked inside.

Shangguan Yunshu was the most serious among the three.

Shangguan Sitong and Shangguan Chi, one was sleeping and the other was disturbing others.

Shi Jifeng was holding the words written by the two people, and he was about to say something. The writing was messy, and only half of the words were written.

Shangguan Haitong entered the room.

Shi Jifeng wanted to say hello.

Shangguan Haitong hushed, signaling for silence. She walked over to the second sister and knocked on the table.

"Who is it? You disturbed my sleep. Are you trying to please me..." Shangguan Sitong turned around to see who it was and stood up immediately.

Shangguan Yunshu's eyes lit up, and he was extremely happy: "Big sister."

Shangguan Chi was looking for excitement and deliberately threw paper balls behind people's back.

When he heard the shout, he turned around quickly, but the paper ball had already been thrown out and there was no time to take it back.

Shangguan Haitong grabbed the paper ball lightly: "Is this how you take classes? What did the teacher teach just now?"

"Taught..." Shangguan Sitong couldn't answer and made small gestures to ask for help from his sister beside him.

Shangguan Yunshu pretended not to see it.

Shangguan Chi curled his lips: "Sister, he doesn't teach well at all. I want to change teachers."

Shangguan Haitong said bluntly: "No one can help you with your attitude towards learning. If you don't want to study hard, then copy the books in the study from beginning to end, and then from end to beginning. Copy until you can recite them backwards and understand their meanings by yourself."

"Ah? I don't want to. I don't want to copy books." Shangguan Chi was unhappy.

Shangguan Haitong scolded: "If you don't want to copy books, then study hard. Otherwise, don't blame me for forcing you to copy books."

"Hmph." Shangguan Chisheng sulked and didn't speak.

Shangguan Haitong turned around and said, "I'm sorry, Master Shi. My sister and brother were naughty and took up your time."

Shi Jifeng shook his head: "Actually, they are both quite smart, but they just don't focus on studying. Maybe we need to change the teaching method."

"Thank you for your trouble, Master." Shangguan Haitong glared at his disappointing brother and sister, "Why don't you apologize to the master?"

The second and fourth children said weakly, "Sir, I'm sorry."

Seeing the two men look so dead, Shangguan Haitong had an even greater headache.
