105,5 - Little Peasant Wife

The prospect of living together with her biological father wasn't favorably viewed in society's eyes. Upon hearing this, Wu Meng Qiu looked at her father and asked, "Father, if our family has money, could we pay for my brother and me to go to school?" Wu Zhi Yong gently patted her on the head and replied, "Your brother can go, but you're a girl, and girls can't attend school." Hearing this, Wu Meng Qiu's spirits sank immediately. Noticing her disappointment, Wu Zhi Yong spoke softly, "However, if you want to learn, you can attend Jishantang in town. It's a place where many governesses from wealthy families in the capital teach various skills—needlework, embroidery, poetry, and literature. They say the teaching is excellent..." He continued to elaborate, and Wu Meng Qiu's face lit up with interest, her cheeks turning pink as she nodded shyly. She didn't want to be left too far behind by Liu Er. If Liu Er, a demi-girl, could study with General Qin, then she should too. Previously, she hadn't mentioned it because the family finances were tight. But now that the family had money, she wanted to give it a try. In any case, she was determined to work hard! Meanwhile, in the study, Qin Yi Shu was teaching Liu Er, "One must not only see the surface of things. Consider this vast and prosperous dynasty; it could find itself in turmoil in the blink of an eye. Just like Jishantang in town, it's an organization founded by Hua Ling Lan, a ruthless demon lord. Her intentions are certainly not so simple—in my view, she's likely securing an escape route for herself." She looked at Liu Er and said, "I heard that your mother knows Aunt Lan?" Liu Er hesitated and shook her head, "I've never heard my mother mention this, but since the person in question is a demon lord, she must be up to no good. I will mention it to my mother later." As she finished speaking, a servant announced from outside that Jing Ao Xue had arrived at the residence. Liu Er's eyes lit up, and she gracefully turned to walk towards the entrance after seeing Qin Yi Shu nod in approval.
