Su Shuying pushed open the door and immediately spotted Renbao under the bed. He hadn't hidden himself properly; his calves were sticking out.

"Oh dear, why is there a leg sticking out?"

Upon hearing this, Renbao immediately pulled his legs in, held his breath, and dared not make a sound. His round eyes were tightly closed, showing both nervousness and excitement.

"Renbao, Renbao." Su Shuying called out a few times with a smile in her eyes, then walked outside, muttering, "He's really not here."

The room fell silent again.

Renbao crawled out from under the bed, looked up, and an incredulous expression appeared on her face.

Su Shuying leaned against the window and smiled, "Renbao, you're here."

She saw embarrassment on the baby's face and couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Her baby Renbao is so cute!

Renbao skipped over with her short legs, hugged Su Shuying's leg, and looked up at her: "Sister, can we not go see Grandpa Wei? Can you take Renbao out to eat instead?"

Su Shuying squatted down to be at eye level with her: "No, Renbao is three years old now, it's time for her to start learning."

Renbao pouted, her eyes brimming with tears, looking extremely aggrieved.

Seeing her cry, Su Shuying felt a pang of sadness, but she did not grant her request.

She and her parents agreed.

Compal suffered from a lack of education!

In the main hall, Su Xuance and his wife were with Wei Huaihao. They were quite surprised by his arrival, and even more delighted to hear that he wanted to personally teach Renbao.

Grand Tutor Wei was the Crown Prince's tutor. He was learned, upright, and proud. Renbao was at ease entrusting him with his duties.

Pei Yuru didn't dare to breathe loudly in front of Wei Huaihao and sat very upright.

She disliked studying from a young age and preferred playing with swords and knives. She wished she were a boy so she could go to the battlefield and kill the enemy.

Therefore, from childhood to adulthood, she was always the one who was scolded by her teacher.

Even now, she feels a sense of dread when she sees the Master.

Upon seeing Renbao arrive, she immediately stood up and hurried to greet him, taking the opportunity to catch her breath: "Renbao, look who's here!"

Renbao had tears welling up in her eyes. She didn't want to see Wei Huaihao, but her sister said that one should know how to be polite and courteous.

"Mother," she called out pitifully, forcing back her tears, her little mouth pouting.

"Oh dear, what's wrong with my Renbao?" Pei Yuru felt heartbroken and quickly hugged her, gently wiping away her tears.

Renbao hugged her neck tightly, burying his head on her shoulder: "I don't want to study."

Pei Yuru was stunned. Renbao was just like her. She understood this resistance all too well!

"Then I won't read it..." Pei Yuru said readily.

Renbao's little head lifted up instantly.

"Mother!" Su Shuying spoke slowly from the side, "Renbao has returned to the capital and doesn't know many of the rules. We don't mean to discipline Renbao, but one must learn in this life. Only by having knowledge can one broaden one's horizons and avoid becoming a frog in a well."

Pei Yuru lowered her head guiltily and stroked Renbao's head, saying, "Renbao, Mother can't make this decision."

Renbao walked into the main hall with his head down.

"Renbao, come here to Grandpa Wei." Wei Huaihao reached out his hand to Renbao.

Renbao didn't move.

Su Xuance paused for a moment, then looked at Pei Yuru.

Pei Yuru didn't want to tell Renbao directly that he didn't want to study, so she gave him a meaningful look.

Su Xuance understood; this was a tricky situation.

"Renbao?" Seeing Renbao's resistant expression, Wei Huaihao wondered if he was being too serious, so he forced out what he thought was a very loving smile. "Renbao, don't be afraid."

Renbao glanced at him quickly, then pouted, "Grandpa Wei, I don't want to study."

Pei Yuru wanted to step forward but didn't dare.

That's Grand Tutor Wei! Her legs went weak at the sight of him.

Mother is so sorry, Renbao!

Su Shuying and Su Xuance looked at each other and saw the helplessness in each other's eyes.

They hesitated, wondering if they should just give up.

Renbao is still young; it's fine to start his education in a few more years.

The children's emotions were written all over their faces.

Wei Huaihao hadn't expected Renbao to be so resistant to reading. He changed the subject, opened the box on the table, and inside was a golden toad made of pure gold.

Renbao wiped away her tears and looked at him again and again.

It's the gold she likes!

"This is a gift I brought for you," Wei Huaihao said with a smile.

"Grand Tutor Wei, how about we..." Su Xuance prepared himself mentally before speaking, but when he looked up and saw the scene before him, he was stunned.

Renbao sat on a small stool, hugging the golden toad, her eyes crinkling with laughter. She looked up at Wei Huaihao and said sweetly, "Thank you, Grandpa Wei. I like it very much. Will you give me gold every time I study with you?"

She would absolutely love to!

Little Yama always remembers that she needs to make money so she can eat up all the delicious food in the mortal world!

Su Xuance began to have other worries.

Renbao loves gold so much, won't he be tricked out of his gold?

"Here you go." Seeing that she was no longer resisting, Wei Huaihao breathed a sigh of relief. He patiently guided her, taking out a hundred-tael silver note. "Does Renbao recognize this?"

Renbao nodded and announced loudly, "This is one hundred taels!"

Wei Huaihao smiled and asked, "How did you recognize me?"

Renbao blurted out, "Mother said it was one hundred taels, and I remembered that."

"Renbao is a bright child," Wei Huaihao nodded in admiration. Seeing Renbao completely delighted, he changed the subject, "Renbao, do you know why children your age need to go to school?"

Renbao shook his head: "Renbao doesn't know."

She was born to rule the underworld, able to discern good from evil and sever cause and effect with a single glance.

"Reading the books of sages and worthies can temper one's character, enabling one to see through all things and not be deceived by appearances," Wei Huaihao said earnestly.

Su Xuance and Su Shuying agreed wholeheartedly and nodded in unison.

They listened to what he said.

Pei Yuru is on a pilgrimage.

Renbao exclaimed, "Grandpa Wei, I don't understand."

She scratched her head, feeling a little embarrassed.

She's the Little Yama, the Queen of the Underworld! She's very powerful, you can't not understand her!

Wei Huaihao: "..."

He took a deep breath and rephrased it: "Reading makes you smarter, and no one can lie to that."

"Will I become the most powerful Little Yama?" Renbao asked.

How come this is related to the Little Yama King again!

To coax her into studying, Wei Huaihao nodded haphazardly, "Yes."

Renbao, holding the golden toad, climbed onto the table to eat mung bean cakes: "Great! I'll study with Grandpa Wei, and all the ghosts will be afraid of me!"

Wei Huaihao rubbed his aching temples. Fine, even though he didn't know why Renbao liked playing the King of Hell, it was fine as long as she was willing to study with him.

He stood up and said to Su Xuance, "I should go to the clinic for acupuncture. Just bring Renbao to the Wei residence at Chenshi (7-9 AM) tomorrow."

Su Xuance hurriedly rose to see him off, saying, "Thank you, Grand Tutor."

Renbao suddenly jumped off the table: "Grandpa Wei, I want to go to the clinic too."
