Noble Lady

Chapter 193 Lifelong Wish

Mrs. Xue knew he had misunderstood and quickly said, "Don't be upset, Mr. Lu. I originally discussed with my husband that we wanted to open a private school in the Marquis of Wu'an's mansion and invite you to teach there. But I didn't know if you were willing, so I didn't dare to ask."

"If you don't even ask, how can you know if I'm willing?"

Mr. Lu turned around angrily and glared at her, like a proud elder.

"If you had told me earlier that you wanted to start a family school, I might have agreed long ago. Why would there be so much hassle? It's all a waste of effort."

"Mr. Lu is willing?" Mrs. Xue was also overjoyed. "As long as Mr. Lu is willing, let alone adding blood, I would be happy to open a private school and provide free education for children who want to study but can't afford tuition!"

Mr. Lu's eyes lit up when he heard this. "Are you serious, Madam Xue?"

Mrs. Xue was stunned for a moment before she realized that Mr. Lu was interested in her suggestion of setting up a private school to provide free education for poor children.

"Of course it's true. I'm just a businessman, but my words are as good as my words. If I say I can run a private school, I can do it."

Whether it is running a family school or a private school, for others it is money flowing like water, but for Mrs. Xue, it is something that can be done with money.

The thing she has the most is money!

"Great, great!" Mr. Lu was delighted with the unexpected surprise and became very excited. "As long as Madam can run the family school, I will definitely teach at the Marquis of Wu'an's mansion."

Madam Xue said sternly, "Then we will prepare a bed for our distinguished guest at the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion."

Mr. Lu did not explicitly say that he would only be willing to go after a private school was established, because he did not want to give people a chance to think that he was exchanging interests.

But she will definitely make this happen!

After hearing Mrs. Xue's assurance, Mr. Lu didn't even want to test Xue Huai's homework. He wished he could see the private school rising from the ground in front of him immediately.

However, reason told him that there was a crown prince and a prince of King Cheng present here, so he couldn't take his words lightly.

"Child, your name is Xue Huai, right? Come with me."

"Yes, sir."

So Xue Huai followed him to the study.

The Crown Prince and Situ Zhen both wanted to see it, and Chen Mingxuan, as an instructor at the Imperial College, also expressed his desire to sit in as an observer. These were all legitimate requests, and there was no reason for Mr. Lu to refuse.

So, a group of grown men went there in a mighty procession.

Xue Chenyu and Mrs. Xue did not have to follow - now it was up to Xue Xiaohuai himself.

A blacksmith must be strong himself. He has been paved to this position before. If he can't stand up on his own, no matter how much they do, it will be useless.

At this point, Xue Chenyu didn't know how to describe her feelings for a moment.

This is a series of twists and turns.

"Yu'er, do you feel like you're dreaming?" Mrs. Xue exhaled.

Xue Chenyu couldn't help but smile, "Mr. Lu has already said that as long as we can run our family school, Mr. Lu will definitely teach at the Wu'an Marquis Mansion. Now, whether Xue Xiaohuai passes the exam or not is just a background."

"Xue Xiaohuai's becoming Mr. Lu's disciple is a done deal. How can it not be like a dream?"

She also felt like she was dreaming.

The mother and daughter smiled at each other, knowing that a huge weight had been lifted off the other's shoulders.

……

After the Xue family, the Crown Prince, Prince Cheng, and the Imperial College instructor had all left, Mr. Lu sat alone under the grape trellis in the yard for the entire afternoon.

Sometimes laughing, sometimes crying.

It looks creepy.

The servants were afraid that there was something wrong with the master, so they asked Madam Qi if they wanted to find a doctor tomorrow to see the master and see if he was feeling unwell.

Mrs. Qi waved her hand and said, "It's okay, just let him be alone for a while." She didn't take his abnormality to heart at all.

They have been married for so many years, how could she not know what he was thinking?

The old man has been a teacher for so many years and has taught so many students.

Among them are many outstanding people who hold high positions in the government.

But no one got it.

They only knew how to send him rare treasures and household supplements, but this was the first time someone had spoken words that touched his heart.

It is his lifelong wish to let those children who cannot afford to go to school to receive education!

Now someone has offered to donate money and effort to set up a private school. His lifelong wish has the potential to come true. How can he not be as happy as a child?

"Our old man will be so happy for three days and three nights that he might even wake up laughing in his dreams."

The wife of Marquis Wu'an found a good husband for her son; her naughty old husband is about to realize his lifelong wish.

In this way, everyone is happy.

She did a great job today!

Mrs. Qi lay in her rattan chair with a smile on her face. Thinking of the advice given to her by that handsome boy, she became happier and happier.

At this time, a servant came in quickly and said, "Madam, there is a distinguished guest outside who wants to see you."

Madam Qi waved her hands impatiently, "Didn't the distinguished guests just leave? Why are there another group coming? Go out and tell them that the master is tired today and is sorry to see the guests."

"Mrs. Qi, you don't even want to see me?" A young man's pleasant voice came from the door.

It actually has a somewhat sarcastic taste.

Mrs. Qi sat up immediately and said, "Why is it you, young man?"

……

At that time, the satisfied Xue family had returned to the Marquis' Mansion.

Xue Chenyu sent Madam Xue and Xue Huai into the gate of the Marquis' Mansion, then turned around and went back home.

On the way back to He Mansion, she was already very tired.

He closed his eyes and rested, and the scenes of today's Lu Mansion on the mountain passed before his eyes one after another.

I'm very tired, but there's no way to rest.

"What's wrong with you, young lady? Didn't everything go smoothly today when you went to invite Mr. Lu? Why are you unhappy?" Seeing the deep doubt between her brows, Yuzhu couldn't help asking.

Xue Chenyu shook her head, "It was going smoothly, but it wasn't right."

A'niang was in high spirits throughout the journey and she didn't have the heart to say anything to spoil the fun.

But she always felt that the progress of this matter was a little too smooth.

Because everything today is so logical and natural.

"Girl, do you feel something is wrong?"

Yuzhu and Qiuhua were just waiting at the door. They could vaguely hear people talking inside, but they didn't know the whole story.

Something is not right, especially something is not right with Prince Cheng.

First, as soon as they arrived at the door, Prince Cheng came out to greet them and introduced them, mother and son, to the three of them under the pretext of inviting guests in.

Afterwards, many other topics were inadvertently brought to their attention.

All of this has Situ Zhen’s shadow.

Especially Chen Mingxuan's lengthy speech and his strategy of retreating to advance.

After Chen Mingxuan started talking, Situ Zhen didn't say anything else.

It was as if she already knew what he was going to say and was certain that he would stand on the Xue family's side.

Could it be that Chen Mingxuan helped them not because of Chen Lizhu, but because of Prince Cheng?

Thoughts raced, words were on the tip of his tongue, but Xue Chenyu swallowed them back.

"Nothing, maybe I'm overthinking it."

After all, Prince Cheng is a royal relative and the emperor's nephew. Furthermore, the Crown Prince is also present today.

There were some things she had no basis for and couldn't say carelessly, otherwise it would easily bring disaster to the Wu'an Marquis Mansion.
