Chapter 775 The Strange Yan Ke and His Daughter
As the girls' school gradually calmed down, the crowd also dispersed with their own worries and anxieties.
Princess Anping murmured to herself, "It turns out that everything I do is planned by others."
After saying that, she sighed softly and lowered her eyes, looking down at the little kid.
Xiao Yining: ⊙_⊙, Princess Anping discovered that I said that to her on purpose?
The little boy raised his head guiltily, looked back, and gave the woman a shy smile.
Princess Anping placed her hand on the little girl's head and said softly, "Qing Jie'er is smart. You must learn how to handle things well and don't learn from your aunt."
"Oh!"
The little girl quickly responded obediently, and Rouyi, who was holding her hand, let go and pushed her back to her classmates.
The sisters in Class B no longer felt uneasy and quickly retreated with their children back to the classroom.
Unexpectedly, just as everyone sat down and breathed a sigh of relief, an aunt in yellow clothes came in with a letter.
"Miss Zhang, Master Zhang just left you a letter and told you not to reply."
As soon as these words were spoken, the girls in Class B woke up as if from a dream. They took out paper and pen and wrote letters to inform their families what had happened here.
Zhang Nishang took the letter and opened it without thinking. There was only one line of words inside: "Nishang, please pay more attention to the princess' words and actions, and remember to tell your grandfather when you return."
Zhang Nishang: (⊙_⊙)? Does this mean that I should learn more from the princess?
She raised her eyes to look at little Yining who was sitting in the front row. At that moment, she was swinging her little feet and talking carefreely in a low voice with Yu Ke.
The little girl quickly glanced around and shook her feet involuntarily.
Xu Niannian, who was sitting next to her, glanced at her and held up a piece of paper with big characters on it: "Sister Zhang, is your leg cramping?"
Zhang Nishang: ...
The little sister lowered her head and followed the others to write a letter.
On this day, letters from the girls' school were scattered like snowflakes, but without exception, no one received a response.
The sky above Yanjing was filled with a heavy and bloody atmosphere. Even the girls' school was shrouded in a gloomy atmosphere and there was less laughter and joy.
The kids from Class B went to the side door in a group, inquired about the situation next door, and then lost interest in watching the show. Only the little girl was still talking to Mrs. Zhou with great interest.
"Granny Zhou, is my uncle's talent really known to the entire academy?"
"That's right! Princess, let me tell you, Young Master Wang is truly a man who never shows his true colors. That's it!" Mother Zhou gave the little kid a thumbs up and continued to praise him generously.
"The fact that the soldiers took away more than a dozen students today has not overshadowed Master Wang. Now I'm afraid that all the teachers in the academy are praising him."
As soon as he finished speaking, Old Man Yu on the other end of the line couldn't wait to answer, "That's right. Leng Shuyu appeared in the Heavenly Level before. He was a little bit of a sly guy hiding his knowledge, but once he got out, he became very popular. Young Master Wang used to be very low-key, but it was said that when Scholar Jiang was reviewing his essays, he suddenly felt that he had surpassed the Earth Level students, and asked him questions frequently, only then did he realize that he was very knowledgeable and a treasure."
Little Yining showed a perfect smile of joy, "Then my uncle will definitely be among the top in this imperial examination."
The two elders immediately agreed: "Of course!"
The kid reluctantly took out a silver ingot from his purse and handed it over. A mechanical sound rang out in his mind in response.

Xiao Yining: o(╥﹏╥)o, the expenses are really getting higher and higher, my uncle will definitely not reimburse her!
Amidst Mrs. Zhou's repeated thanks, the little girl returned to the group of her fellow sisters with a sad face.
Cui Zhiyao couldn't control her hands, stretched out her fingers to touch the little kid's face, and whispered: "Sister Princess, it's a good thing that Uncle Wang is appreciated by Jiang Daxueshi. You don't have to worry about Uncle Wang's schoolwork getting heavier."
Yan Ke also said something to coax the little kid: "Sister Princess, during this ten-day holiday, I will ask my maid to send a few rare books to Uncle Wang. My father loves those rare books. If Uncle Wang is too busy with schoolwork to finish them, he can lend them to Scholar Jiang for a few days. He will definitely not punish Uncle Wang."
Xiao Yining: ..., the image of old men who don’t like to do their homework is deeply rooted in people’s minds!
Zhang Nishang glanced at Yan Ke with some disapproval and reminded her, "Sister Yan Ke, that is your father's favorite thing. If you give it away rashly, your father will punish you."
The other children nodded one after another, and the little kid was about to refuse.
Unexpectedly, Yan Ke responded nonchalantly, "So what? My father was just a poor Hanlin scholar back then. If he hadn't married my mother and received support from my great-grandfather, how could he have obtained such a prestigious position as a lecturer in the Hanlin Academy? Those rare books were originally gifts from my maternal grandparents, and some were my mother's dowry. Naturally, I have the right to give them away."
Then, she warned Zhang Nishang back, "Sister Zhang, please don't encourage your uncle to borrow my rare book. I won't lend it to your uncle."
Zhang Nishang: ...
After hearing these words, everyone in Class B finally realized that there was a big problem between Yan Ke and his daughter, and they couldn't help but look at each other.
Just at this moment, the roar of Yan Ke's father, Yan Shiye, came from not far away.
"Yan Ke, who taught you to say such outrageous words?"
Yan Ke frowned slightly when she heard the voice. She turned around and looked at her father who was walking towards her angrily. The corners of her mouth curled up with visible sarcasm. She said innocently, "Dad, you always teach your daughter not to lie. What your daughter said just now was not a lie. How can you say this is treasonous!"
The other children also hurriedly stood in front of Yan Ke and tried to comfort her father.
"Sir Yan, my mother often mentions the wonderful story between you and Madam Yan. She always told me that if there was a man who did this for me, she would definitely visit all the temples within a hundred miles." Liu Zhenying said anxiously.
Shi Wanwan was also quick with words, and immediately said, "That's right, Lord Yan. In order to marry Madam Yan, you knelt outside the door for days and nights, and I don't know how many women in the inner chambers envied you. Later, seeing that you two finally got married, it became a topic of conversation among many wives of officials. We are friends with Yan Ke, and we often envy her for having such a pair of fairy-like parents."
The rest of the children nodded, proving that what they said was true.
Xiao Yining's gaze fell on Yan Shiye's face. His anger had not diminished at all, and he even revealed an unspeakable shame and indignation. He knew that the Yan family was probably facing more than just a conflict between father and daughter, the problem between husband and wife was even more serious.
She sighed inwardly and advised, "Master Yan, please don't be angry with Sister Yan Ke. My uncle wants to read the rare copy, so he can borrow it from my uncle. He won't take Sister Yan Ke's rare copy."
Yan Shi also paused, looking at the little kid who was pulling his daughter's sleeve, and seemed to be frightened by him and hid behind his daughter. His eyes suddenly became obscure, and he responded with a cupped hand: "Princess Le'an has misunderstood. I am just angry that my daughter is so outspoken that she spilled all the old stories. Since my daughter has mentioned that she would give those rare books to Young Master Wang, I will not let her break her promise."
At this moment, a gentle voice came from a distance: "Master Yan, it's getting late, you should leave."
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw a strange aunt in purple clothes looking at them with a smile on her face.
Yan Shiye's expression also eased, and he smiled gently at the man and replied, "Miss Qingxin, I will leave now."
After saying this, he glanced at his daughter unhappily again, bowed to the little girl and left with the aunt in purple.
Seeing this, the children and sisters all breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked at Yan Ke with concern.
Yan Ke followed her father with her eyes until he disappeared from her sight. Then she looked at her worried classmates and said softly, "Don't worry, I'll be fine."
Everyone secretly exchanged glances, nodded, and didn't ask any more questions.
Shi Wanwan changed the subject at the right time, "Today, I didn't hear my sisters talking about what happened last morning. There was no response from home either. These days, let's not talk about what happened outside to avoid causing trouble."
Yan Ke responded absentmindedly, and then said: "Why don't we go back? I see that there are not many sisters of other levels along the way."
Everyone looked at each other and nodded in agreement again.
Then, Liu Zhenying quietly suggested, "Let's go separately. Our Class B is always prone to causing trouble at the local level. In this troubled time, we should avoid being reported by someone with ulterior motives."
This time, the little sisters quickly glanced at Zhang Nishang and retorted in unison: "Who caused the trouble? Humph!"
Liu Zhenying: (●—●), what did I say wrong?
