The next morning, Lu Ankang went to school excitedly.

When he arrived, Lu Yan and Lu Changchuan were already sitting inside, holding books and reading attentively.

Pei Rushi smiled brightly, "Brother Kang is here, you can sit here."

He pointed to the place in front of him. Lu Ankang paused, somewhat reluctant to go over.

That position was too close to the Master, and he was a little worried.

"What are you standing there for? Sit down!" Pei Rushi was still smiling, but this smile made the two children next to him tremble uncontrollably.

"Yes, Master." Lu Ankang went over with his head held high, thinking that Pei Rushi should not be as strict as Old Man Song.

Otherwise, Lu Yan, the mute, and Lu Changchuan, the fool, would not have been able to endure it for so long.

"Today, let's practice writing first."

Pei Rushi first demonstrated and then asked them to follow. Lu Ankang was a little nervous, and his hand holding the pen was shaking.

When Master Song was teaching him how to write, he got angry a lot and said that his handwriting was worse than a dog's and he would slap his hands at any time!

So when his dog-crawling handwriting was taken away, Lu Ankang was really nervous. He glanced at the people around him and found that they all seemed very calm and not nervous at all.

Could it be that they write well?

When he thought of this possibility, Lu Ankang's heart began to tremble!

"Not bad, you are a teachable kid." Pei Rushi nodded while holding Lu Ankang's calligraphy. "It is very suitable for your age."

Are you praising me?

Lu Ankang looked up in disbelief, expecting a barrage of scolding, but unexpectedly, he was met with Pei Rushi's affirmative gaze!

This teacher, he really made the right choice!

At the same time, Lu Yan also saw the calligraphy. His eyes froze, and then he silently took Lu Changchuan's calligraphy, replaced his own, and gave it to Pei Rushi.

Pei Rushi watched coldly, and when he saw the two pieces of calligraphy, he gave him a meaningful look.

"Your handwriting is getting worse and worse. When you go back today, copy it thirty times."

Lu Yan nodded, his face calm.

But in Lu Ankang's eyes, it was just disappointment and sadness, with a face full of frustration.

This prince is nothing but that!

My handwriting isn't even as good as his!

Lu Ankang couldn't help laughing out loud, but when he saw Lu Changchuan's calligraphy, he subconsciously closed his mouth.

Because he heard Pei Rushi say in praise: "Changchuan's calligraphy has improved, not bad!"

Lu Changchuan was a little embarrassed by the praise. But seeing that Master Pei and Lu Yan were both calm, as if he was born to be so excellent, he shut up and accepted the praise silently...

After class, Lu Ankang was praised by Pei Rushi again.

It is good enough for him to have such accomplishments at such a young age. There is no need to force him to learn too fast. He can just learn slowly.

Lu Ankang felt like he was floating as he walked on his way home from school!

"Prince, why did you change the calligraphy today?" After returning to the room, Lu Changchuan couldn't help but asked.

Besides, they didn't go to school like this in the past.

Master Song was strict, but at least he was strict within limits. But if they offended Pei Rushi, what awaited them would usually be a hellish punishment!

Today, Master Pei not only taught in a pleasant manner, but also seemed to be possessed by a ghost. He even smiled and praised Lu Ankang's ugly handwriting, which completely refreshed Lu Changchuan's entire understanding of human beings!

Lu Yan looked at him quietly and wrote silently: "Do you want to be valued by the teacher?"

He already knew that he was poisoned, and the murderer was most likely in the mansion.

In the past, he was so talented that he was praised as a child prodigy wherever he went. But after experiencing these things, Lu Yan felt that sometimes, it is not entirely unreasonable to say that one is guilty of possessing a treasure.

He was just an abandoned mute prince. If he could still read and write well, I'm afraid he wouldn't even be able to be a mute anymore...

Lu Changchuan didn’t understand the twists and turns, but he knew that the prince was good to him and would definitely not harm him!

"Prince, do you think that the Master values ​​me?" Lu Changchuan's parents died early, and he has been living under the care of his relatives since he was a child. What he is best at is observing people's words and expressions.

The days in the Marquis' Mansion were the best days he had ever lived.

Although Lu Yan is the prince, he does not discriminate against his adopted son. Instead, he tutors him diligently to prevent him from being punished by the teacher.

Lu Changchuan may seem rough, but his heart is as delicate as a needle tip. "I can do whatever the prince wants me to do."

He will follow the prince all his life!

Lu Yan was touched!

After learning all the truth, he actually had many dark thoughts in his heart. He didn't understand why he was treated like this when he had done nothing wrong.

But his mother made him realize that sometimes, right and wrong are not that important.

What's important is how to learn to survive.

He put away his true feelings and hid himself secretly. But now, when he met Lu Changchuan's burning gaze, he shrank back, which was rare.

Can he still believe it this time?

Or, should he ask his mother whether Lu Changchuan can be trusted?

But there was another voice deep inside his heart telling him, is it true that he had to have others make decisions for him all his life?

There were so many troubles in the Marquis' Mansion, but every time my mother encountered them, she was able to remain calm.

He also hopes that he can be like that!

"I can't show up now. If you are willing, I will help you." When Lu Yan wrote these words, he had expectations in his heart that he couldn't even explain.

However, this expectation is mixed with fear - if he believes it, is he really right?

"Okay! I got it!" Lu Changchuan patted his chest and promised, "Don't worry, my lord. I will work hard in the future and will never let anyone notice you!"

Lu Yan's reputation as a child prodigy had already been heard of when Lu Changchuan was still outside.

But when he entered the palace, all he saw was the mute prince who was unable to speak out to redress his grievances when being bullied.

He didn't know what happened in the meantime, but he had seen a lot of it outside before, so he guessed it wasn't a good thing.

Seeing that he agreed readily, Lu Yan hesitated and continued to write: "It will be dangerous."

He didn't want to lie to Lu Changchuan. Lu Ankang was in favor at the moment. If Lu Changchuan performed better than him, he would definitely be in danger.

Who would have thought that Lu Changchuan would just smile and say, "I know!"

It is because I know this that I can’t wait to agree.

He protects his mute prince!

No matter what the danger is, just come!

Lu Yan looked at him steadily and wrote solemnly and seriously: "Don't worry, I will protect you."

The breeze outside was caressing the willow trees in the yard, and they sprouted new buds, swaying slightly in the wind.

In this small world, the two children made a seemingly playful vow. Their words were immature, but their sincerity remained unchanged. Perhaps many years later, even they themselves would not have thought that their actions today would bring such a big change to each other's lives...
