Chapter 1155: Vixen
Meng Yan was very obedient at the moment. He sat down when he was asked to. He was obediently holding a snack in his hand like a little mouse. He looked around and slowly nibbled on it, the crumbs of the snack were all over his face. It made one’s heart soften.
Not to mention an old man like Mo Lingzi, even Xie Qiao’s care for this junior brother could not help but rise.
“Meng Yan is back. I’m afraid the prices of clothes and jewelry in the capital would go up again.” Zhao Xuanjing sighed again.
Xie Qiao looked at him in confusion. “Why?”
“You can go and ask around when you have the time. Do any of the ladies in the capital not know him? Every time when he was out, the streets would be crowded with people, and there were pretty girls everywhere.” With that said, Zhao Xuanjing asked someone to bring a book and put it in front of Xie Qiao. He said, “This book was written by him.”
Xie Qiao was confused. She took the book and glanced at it.
Then she was a little dumbfounded.
The Story of a Beautiful Woman?
What was that?
Xie Qiao flipped through it briefly and was really stunned. In this story book, it was mainly about a young girl who was innocent and lively since she was young. Later on, her family declined, and the young girl had to take care of her family. She had no choice but to marry a rich and powerful young master as his third concubine…
It was a love story.
After the marriage, the young girl stood firm and unyielding against her bully husband, causing him to treat her differently. After many misunderstandings and frustrations, the two of them ended up loving each other for the rest of their lives…
Xie Qiao could not believe it. This book was written by her junior brother.
“Does teacher know about it too?” Xie Qiao could not help but ask.
He was not enraged that he vomited blood?
It was not that the story book was not good, but in this day and age, few serious scholars wrote story books, not to mention that they wrote about love.
“I know.” Zhao Xuanjing had a meaningful look on his face. “Not only did he not get angry, but he was forced to buy twenty books. I’m afraid he took them back to pad the table.”
“He bought them?” Xie Qiao was incredulous.
It really did not seem like something that her teacher could do!
“I had to buy them. He was very annoying. When we met, he asked himself how his writing was. He was full of sweet words. As the saying goes, you don’t hit a smiling person when you reach out your hand. Even I was forced to buy some.” Zhao Xuanjing was very helpless.
At this moment, Xie Qiao had some admiration for this junior brother.
He was the only person in the world who could do this, right?
His teacher was extremely strict in his studies, and Zhao Xuanjing was even more methodical when it came to socializing with others. Yet, he made an exception for him?
Meeting Meng Yan’s gaze, he smiled shyly at her. That smile was indeed like the rain of sugar in spring. It was simply too sweet.
Zhao Xuanjing wished he could cover Xie Qiao’s eyes.
He did not want her to be seduced by this vixen.
Fortunately, the Meng family received the news not long ago and came immediately. Imperial Duke Meng was also a weirdo. Seeing his grandson like this, there was no reaction at all. “It’s good that he came back alive. I haven’t heard from him for so long. I thought he died outside...”
When Xie Qiao heard that, she almost choked.
After saying that, Imperial Duke Meng did not forget to thank the Crown Prince, Xie Qiao, and Mo Lingzi.
However, just as he was about to take him away, Meng Yan actually cried.
“Grandfather, sister, I don’t want to go... Do you not want me anymore...” When Meng Yan opened his mouth, Xie Qiao was petrified on the spot.
Grandfather?
Xie Qiao glared at Mo Lingzi. “Master, what kind of grandfather are you? Aren’t you teaching him nonsense?”
“But I didn’t know that you knew him...” Mo Lingzi scratched his nose, feeling embarrassed. “When he asked me if I was his father, I could not answer either. It’s better to be a grandfather than a father. It’s more comfortable to hear...”
