Old Master Sun really wasn’t hopeful.
This girl was his student.
She was indeed smart and literate.
But she hadn’t studied for years, and while others might not know, could he not know her capability?
He arranged coursework for Zhao Yu and then strolled over. As he got closer, he was a bit surprised.
A while ago, there wasn’t a single word on the white paper on the desk. But now it was filled with neat, elegant writing.
These characters were the ones he had specifically found a calligraphy model for and taught her by hand.
Thankfully, it wasn’t wasted. Old Master Sun’s gaze softened slightly.
"Since it’s written, don’t make too much commotion."
He picked it up without imdiately looking at it.
"Those who don’t know might think you’re a prodigy, how impressive."
"Everyone here is family, no one will ridicule you. If others find out, who knows what they’ll say behind your back."
"You’ve gotten married, how can you still be so reckless? I thought you had made so progress."
At this, he couldn’t help but worry again.
"These aren’t things I should say, but since your parents are no longer here, as your teacher, I must remind you."
He whispered, "Your in-laws are good, Wei Shen is also exceptional, so don’t start any ss."
"Once his health improves, hurry and have a child while I’m still relatively healthy, so I can help out for a few years."
Yu Tingwan also wanted that.
But there was no sign of a child yet.
Wei Zhao should be quite remarkable, but she hadn’t experienced his efforts yet.
Seeing her silent, Old Master Sun thought she had taken his words to heart, so he contentedly started reading the article.
After reading the first sentence, he was sowhat suspicious.
It didn’t seem like Yu Tingwan’s level.
After the second sentence, he turned completely serious.
"You..."
Old Master Sun: "Did you really write this?"
Yu Tingwan straightened her back: "What’s there to doubt."
Old Master Sun: "It shouldn’t be."
Yu Tingwan smiled: "Just casually wrote it, you can take a casual look."
She was very humble, "If you like it, you can fra and hang it at ho later."
Liu Yan: ...
Wanted to expose her.
Forget it, after all, she still wanted to call Yu Tingwan cousin-in-law.
Old Master Sun looked at the third sentence.
His eyes showed amazent.
Reading the fourth and fifth sentences, his brow furrowed.
Why did it seem familiar?
Yu Tingwan inexplicably had a bad feeling.
Old Master Sun: "You!"
Yu Tingwan: "What’s wrong?"
Why did his expression change.
Old Master Sun: "What do you an?"
Yu Tingwan: ???
Old Master Sun was very angry.
"The teaching in Ze County is not as good as in prosperous places, and my skills are just so-so. But why are you using an article that once shook the Imperial College to fool ?"
"Do you think I’ve never read it before?"
Liu Yan: "Pft, hahaha."
Yu Tingwan couldn’t believe it: "Huh?"
Old Master Sun thought she was stubbornly denying it.
"What, do you need to na the source?"
"This article was written by General Wei while alive. The original piece is still hanging in the Imperial College."
Yu Tingwan was so angry her fists clenched.
Old Master Sun squinted his eyes: "I know now."
Yu Tingwan: "You... know what?"
Old Master Sun thought he had seen through Yu Tingwan’s little trick.
"If I couldn’t tell, you’d find fault with to shirk your studies later."
Yu Tingwan: ...
She didn’t.
"Am I such a scheming person?"
Old Master Sun: "Aren’t you?"
"Back then, didn’t you co up with all sorts of tricks to skip class?"
Seeing Old Master Sun raise his ruler, Yu Tingwan’s pupils contracted, and out of habit, she subconsciously wanted to run.
But the ruler didn’t co down.
"Forget it."
Old Master Sun retracted it, snorting and glaring: "You put in the effort this ti. Transcribing this article isn’t easy."
Old Master Sun: "There were no typos, how could I trouble you further."
Yu Tingwan: ...
"Indeed, it wasn’t easy for either."
Old Master Sun: "Do you, like , hold General Wei in esteem?"
Yu Tingwan had never felt so aggrieved: "Of course not!"
All she wanted now was to go back and beat soone up.
"What’s so embarrassing about admitting it."
Old Master Sun sighed: "I’ve read it many tis in earlier years, but couldn’t morize it. Today, you, my rebellious student, made see you in a new light."
Liu Yan: ...
Honestly speaking.
Despite Old Master Sun repeatedly calling her a rebellious student, didn’t he let her get away with many things?
Yu Tingwan stord back to the Wei Family.
Back in the room, she slamd the door heavily.
She was fuming.
"You better give a reasonable explanation for today’s matter."
Wei Zhao looked up leisurely from the desk.
He spoke slowly, "You beg ."
Yu Tingwan was angry: "Yes, I begged you!"
Wei Zhao: "So I put in effort."
Yu Tingwan: ??
She felt hurt.
"You’re clearly fooling ! Bullying for not reading much! And I trusted you so much."
Saying this, she got even angrier. Her beautiful face flushed red, as if blushed with rouge.
Wei Zhao: "What did you say before?"
Yu Tingwan kept a straight face.
She said she wanted the best article.
Either she wouldn’t copy, or she would copy the best!
"Couldn’t you write sothing new!"
Wei Zhao pondered, "You wanted it too urgently."
Yu Tingwan glared at him: "So it’s my fault?"
Wei Zhao: "No, it’s Old Master Sun’s fault."
Yu Tingwan: ...
He actually made so sense.
The old man knew too much.
"I don’t care, I almost got hit. You’re just being perfunctory, unwilling to put in thought for ."
Wei Zhao spoke gently, "I have another piece here, not by a famous person, which Old Master Sun definitely hasn’t seen."
"Then why didn’t you use that one safely..."
Wei Zhao: "Because I don’t allow it."
Wei Zhao, with a strong possessiveness, looked at his wife, "What are you doing ssing with another man’s writing?"
"Co closer."
She frowned but stepped forward.
Wei Zhao handed her a piece of iron ore.
"Still angry?"
Yu Tingwan sneered.
Wei Zhao then handed her a silver ingot.
Yu Tingwan: "Once Cousin returns to the college, I’ll sleep next door."
This ti, Wei Zhao gave her a gold ingot the size of a fist. It was so heavy that she almost couldn’t hold it steady.
She scoffed, "Just small bribes."
Before she could finish speaking, Wei Zhao pulled her onto his lap.
"Don’t be angry."
Wei Zhao chuckled, "I honestly didn’t know the article had spread among the people, and that the old gentleman had seen it."
He embraced her, kissed her on the forehead.
"I won’t deny, I was selfish too. I thought after he saw it today, you could realize from his reaction that although the person sharing your bed is not extrely extraordinary, he is a good match, soone who could make you proud once his abilities are made known."
If he had known earlier, he would have just written a few random sentences. That could have fooled them.
His lips moved downwards.
Yu Tingwan didn’t expect that throwing a tantrum would yield such results.
She felt dizzy.
"I’ve thought it over, I’m not one to dwell on little things."
Wei Zhao grazed her soft lips without going deeper.
He held the back of Yu Tingwan’s neck.
Softly praised her.
"Good girl."
