"Are you okay?"

Mu Shenyin hugged her slender waist tightly. It was the first time he was so close to her. His nose was filled with her fragrance, which made him unable to control his emotions.

Under the candlelight, his eyes were full of affection, and it seemed that one would fall in love with him if one looked at him for just one more moment.

A thousand years at a glance!

"Thank you, Boss Mu, I'm fine!"

Li Qingwan reacted and immediately tried to avoid suspicion. Although everyone around her was her own people, she was still worried that this scene would be made into a big deal by someone with ulterior motives to damage her reputation. She immediately pushed him away and took a few steps back, as if he were some kind of poisonous snake or beast.

"Thank you very much!"

Seeing that she was so afraid of him, Mu Shenyin stood up straight and stared at her with complicated eyes. At this moment, Li Qingwan also felt a little embarrassed.

The two seemed to have a lot to ask.

"Why are you here?"

"Why are you here?"

Both of them asked the same question to each other. As soon as the questions were asked, they smiled at each other. The scene was like old friends meeting again after a long separation.

"Let's talk about you first. What do you want from Master Zhuang?"

"I……"

She naturally couldn't tell him that she had asked the teacher to find a teacher for Hu'er, so she didn't want to answer and asked him, "Why are you here?"

"I?"

Mu Shenyin laughed awkwardly, "I came here to chat with an old friend."

what?

"Master Zhuang is your friend?"

How could she have imagined that Mu Shenyin was actually friends with Master Zhuang?

"Why, it doesn't look like it?"

Li Qingwan was a little embarrassed and smiled, "How could that be? You have such a big business, it's only natural that you should make friends all over the world!"

"You have such a sweet mouth."

Li Qingwan: “…”

How can this man be so dishonest!

"What do you want to see the Master for?"

"It's just some small matters, don't bother Boss Mu to worry about it!"

Mu Shenyin saw that she was playing dumb with him. In fact, he had already guessed the purpose of her coming, or rather...

"Master Zhuang should not be busy now, you can go see him."

As soon as these words fell, the butler's voice came from outside, "Madam, why are you here? The master has come out. Please go to the hall for tea."

Master Zhuang came out, so she had no choice but to say goodbye to Mu Shenyin, "Boss Mu, I'll take my leave first."

Mu Shenyin watched her leaving, seeming to be thinking about something.

"Sir, she is begging you for help because of that wicked son. Do you want to help her too?"

Chunxue couldn't understand this. The young master had arranged everything, but Li Qingwan knew nothing. She even had hostility towards the young master and suspected that he had impure motives.

She didn't understand, is it worth it for the young master to take so much trouble to arrange everything for a married woman?

Why?

"Shut up!"

Mu Shenyin immediately withdrew his gaze, and then strode towards the main hall. This made Chunxue even more puzzled. Did he want to follow him to find that woman?

"Son!"

In the hall, when Li Qingwan and her people just arrived, they saw Mrs. Wang sitting in the guest seat in the hall at a glance. Mrs. Wang brought a lot of good things as gifts, and even brought her own son.

"Fubao, kowtow and call me Master!"

The child named Fubao was very obedient and was about to kneel down to Master Zhuang, but Master Zhuang stopped him with his hand, "Alas, young master, you cannot perform such a great ceremony. I really cannot teach you!"

As expected, Mrs. Wang was upset by her words. She stood up and said, "Master, what do you mean by that? Our Wang family is one of the most prestigious families in the capital. Would it be an insult to you to ask you to teach my son?"

"Of course not, Madam Wang. I am old and have not been in good health these days. I am no longer accepting students. You should find another good teacher."

"Master Zhuang, this is your fault. You just accepted Mr. Li's son yesterday, so why don't you accept my son? Who are you looking down on?"

"Madam Wang, what you said is wrong!"

When Li Qingwan appeared, Mrs. Wang saw that she was here too, and naturally knew what she was here for, "So Mrs. Sima is here too, Master Zhuang, you said you don't accept students, so you can't accept the son of the Sima family, right?"

Her meaning was very clear. Master Zhuang would not accept her son, and neither could he accept Run'er from the Sima family. That child was very naughty and had even beaten her son.

If she can't invite Master Zhuang, then forget about inviting people from Sima Mansion!

Master Zhuang was about sixty years old, dressed simply, and had the temperament of a scholar. When he saw Li Qingwan coming, he bowed slightly, "Madam Sima!"

"Master Zhuang is polite!"

Li Qingwan directly asked Ah Qing to present the gifts, "I heard that the Master was not feeling well today, and the Sima Mansion is here to express our concern. These gifts are not just a token of respect, but I hope the Master will accept them."

As she spoke, she asked Ah Qing to give the gift to Madam Zhuang. When Madam Zhuang saw that the gifts sent by the Sima Mansion were the Four Treasures of the Study, at that moment, she knew that the wife of the Sima family was no ordinary person. These people who came to study gave gold, silver and treasures as gifts, but no one knew that her master did not like these vulgar things. Unexpectedly, the wife of the Sima family could guess the master's thoughts.

"Master, this..."

"This is?"

"This is a red sandalwood inkstone. Please accept it, Master Zhuang."

"Madam, you can't accept this. Such a precious thing, I..."

"Master, please accept it. This small gift is not enough to show respect!"

Master Zhuang naturally knew why she came here. He sighed deeply and said, "Madam Sima, Madam Wang, to be honest with you, if you had come earlier, perhaps I could have accepted you, but now the staff is full. I am old and don't have so much energy to teach more students. I appreciate your kindness!"

"Hmph, why are you pretending to be so noble? Since you don't want my son to take you as his teacher, then you can't accept Run'er from the Sima family. Master Zhuang, if you dare to accept her, it means you look down on our Wang family!"

"Madam Wang, what you said is ridiculous. Your Wang family is not a royal family, but you are using some so-called power to oppress the teacher. Do you think this is appropriate?"

"Li Qingwan, what do you mean by this? What do you mean by me bullying the teacher?"

"You keep saying that you are here to be my disciple, and once a teacher, always a father. May I ask if you have taught your children how to respect their teachers?"

"you……"

"Also, even if the teacher doesn't accept my child, I won't yell at him like you do. You have forgotten the way to respect your teacher. I think you shouldn't find a teacher for your child. With your rudeness, who would dare to teach your son? You are so capable, wouldn't it be better for you to take him home and teach him yourself?"

Sure enough, Li Qingwan's words made Mrs. Wang furious. She naturally knew that the Sima family's business was in trouble and their family fortunes had fallen. How could a daughter-in-law of a fallen marquis dare to talk back to her in person?

Assuming there is no one left in her Wang family?

"Li Qingwan, who are you? Are you worthy enough to teach this lady a lesson?"

Li Qingwan straightened her back, raised her eyes and glanced at her coldly, "What I said is the truth. If you don't agree, you can just get out!"

"What a big mouth you have! Today I am going to teach you a lesson, you ignorant woman! Come on, catch her and slap her in the face!"
