Chapter 416 Studying (Part )

Lu Xuan's handsome face turned pale and red, and then red and white, looking extremely ugly. In the end, he didn't say anything.

Jiang Shaohua waited patiently for a moment: "Father, do you have anything else to say?"

The word "father" was disrespectful and even sarcastic.

How could there be such a cowardly father in the world! He obeyed his own daughter and now he has been deprived of the right to discipline his other two children.

Lu Xuan was filled with indignation and rage, but the only words that came out of his mouth were: "No."

Jiang Shaohua said with a smile, and said to the anxious Mei aunt and her daughter, "You have heard it too. I have convinced my father. After we go back, we can pack our bags. The princess will be going on tour in two days, and my first stop will be Ye County. Sister Hua will go with me."

Aunt Mei was so excited that tears welled up in her eyes. She nodded quickly and then bowed and left.

Lu Xuan also bowed and took his leave.

After the family of four left the main hall, they returned to the yard in silence.

Aunt Mei knew Lu Xuan's temper very well and knew that she would be beaten, scolded and humiliated. As soon as she entered the courtyard, she urged Lu Ying and Lu Ruohua, brother and sister, "You are all going to go out to study, so go back to your room and pack up now."

Lu Ruohua was reluctant to leave. Seeing the anxious and pleading look in her mother's eyes, Lu Ying pursed her lips and pulled her sister away.

Lu Xuan glared at Aunt Mei coldly. Aunt Mei was like dough that could be kneaded by anyone. She followed Lu Xuan into the house without any temper.

……

"Brother, is mother going to be beaten again?"

Inside the house, Lu Ruohua's little face was full of worry and fear, and he clutched Lu Ying's sleeve tightly.

Aunt Mei was very patient and never told her children about the scolding and beatings she received. The scars were all covered up under her clothes. However, Lu Ruohua was with her mother all day and occasionally saw bruises on her mother's body. She didn't understand when she was young, but she has grown up in the past two years and knows that her mother's life is not as decent as outsiders think.

Lu Ying felt very uncomfortable and replied in a low voice: "Mother didn't let us go because she didn't want us to see it with our own eyes. Just pretend you don't know."

Lu Ruohua's eyes were red, like a rabbit. But the words she said were shocking: "When we grow up, we will take mother away."

Lu Ying was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly: "Sister, mother is father's concubine. Unless father divorces her, she will have to stay here to take care of father's food and clothing."

To put it bluntly, they were not even qualified to divorce. They, as a brother and sister, were not qualified to take their mother away.

Lu Ruohua bit her lips hard, her eyes flashed with determination: "There is always a way. Father is also afraid of my sister. As long as we listen to my sister, she will support us in the future."

This makes sense.

Lu Ying thought about it and nodded: "We are still young now, we can't do anything else, so we should study hard first. When I pass the imperial examination and you succeed in your studies, you can come and ask me for help."

Lu Ruohua nodded vigorously.

Aunt Mei did not show up that night.

The next day, Aunt Mei said she was sick and could not go out. The brother and sister went to visit her, but were turned away by the maid: "Aunt has caught a cold, and we are afraid that the disease will spread to you and your daughter. Please go back, my son and daughter!"

It was not until five days later, when the brother and sister had packed their bags and were about to leave, that Aunt Mei showed up. Aunt Mei had a thick layer of powder on her face, barely covering up the fading fingerprints. She earnestly told her two children to study hard and write back often after leaving.

Lu Ruohua had tears in her eyes. She wanted to ask something, but she held back at her brother's signal and said softly, "Don't worry, mother. My brother and I will study hard."

Aunt Mei raised the corner of her mouth, her eyes full of relief.

As long as her two children have a good future, all the hardships she endures are nothing.

Lu Ying was going to the palace school, accompanied by Lu Dalang. There were also more than ten royal guards accompanying her. Lu Ruohua was going to the Ye County Girls' School, so she got on a carriage and set off with Jiang Shaohua.

Lu Xuanlu, the county horse who had never shown up, came to see the princess off when she was leaving.

A few days later, Lu Xuan seemed to have completely forgotten what happened that day, and smiled and said goodbye to the princess. In front of everyone, he also kindly told Lu Ruohua: "The princess has decided to let you go to Ye County School to study. You must study hard and don't let the princess down."

Lu Ruohua didn't want to pay attention to it from the bottom of her heart, but she couldn't be rude in front of everyone, so she nodded in agreement.

Jiang Shaohua saw this scene and curled the corners of his mouth.

Once the waist is weak, there will be a second and third time. Lu Xuan's reaction is not surprising at all.

"Let's go!" Jiang Shaohua gave the order concisely.

At the command, dozens of personal guards rode their horses in front to clear the way, looking very majestic.

Lu Ruohua sat in the carriage, looking out from time to time, her face flushed with excitement. Especially when she heard the people lining the streets to send off the princess, Lu Ruohua inexplicably became excited and also shouted "Long live the princess".

Jiang Shaohua had sharp hearing and couldn't help laughing when he heard the shouts coming from the carriage behind.

……

Two days later, everyone arrived in Ye County.

It was common for the princess to go on tour, and the people watched the excitement for a while and then dispersed.

Jiang Shaohua personally took Lu Ruohua to the girls' school in Ye County. When Lu Ruohua saw the spacious and tidy school and heard the girls reading aloud in the school, her eyes lit up with excitement.

The two female teachers, Li Ying and Cui Wenxiu, came to greet them in person.

The two female teachers naturally welcomed Lu Ruohua's coming to Ye County to study. Although Lu Ruohua was born to a concubine, she was the princess's biological sister from the same father. The princess personally sent her sister to study at Ye County Academy, which was to make Ye County Academy famous.

In fact, people have been asking about this matter over the past few days. Just as Jiang Shaohua expected, many wealthy families have thought about sending their daughters to study and be classmates with the princess's sister. How respectable this is.

Li Ying and Cui Wenxiu are ready to make Ye County School the best girls' school in Daliang!
Cui Wenxiu personally tested Lu Ruohua and praised her intelligence. You know, ordinary girls were sent to school without knowing a single word. Lu Ruohua started to study at the age of five, and had been taught by a teacher for three years. Her handwriting was also very neat and beautiful.

Cui Wenxiu smiled and said, "Miss Ruohua has a good foundation, is smart and willing to learn, so she should go directly to Class A!"

There are four dormitories in the girls' school, and Class A is the best.

Jiang Shaohua nodded with a smile: "Master Cui will make the decision on academic matters. You can discipline him as you normally would. There is no need for any special treatment."

Cui Wenxiu nodded in agreement, and suddenly bowed solemnly: "Years ago, the Meng family sent my daughter to Ye County. This is all because of the princess's support for me. Thank you very much, princess."
