After the marriage, my husband's family listened to my voice and turned the tide

Shang Tingli was quite surprised and couldn't help raising his eyebrows.

[Is this... Ke Xiaowu endorsing? ]

"Snapped--"

Something seemed to fall to the ground inside the room, making a noticeable sound.

Then I heard the child reciting the lesson louder and louder, which showed that he was reciting with great enthusiasm.

"Only after self-cultivation can one have a harmonious family, and only after harmonious family can one govern the country, and only after governing the country can the world be at peace!"

"Pah, pah, pah——"

Shang Tingli pushed the door open and walked in, clapping his hands, smiling and saying, "Not bad, Xiaowu knows how to use his nap time to memorize his lessons?"

Ke Yi's ears turned red, and he pinched his earlobes with both hands, "Sister-in-law, why are you here?"

Shang Tingli smiled and said, "I came to see you."

【Come and see what you are doing, and see if you have escaped through the dog hole.】

"...Uh, hehe." Ke Yi laughed along, but his smile seemed a little weak. It turned out that his sister-in-law had no trust in him at all.

How could my sister-in-law do this!

Is he so untrustworthy?

After Shang Tingli sat down, he looked at him seriously and said, "Do you really know you are wrong? Will you promise not to go to places like gambling houses again? Will you study hard from now on?"

"Sister-in-law, I really know I was wrong." Ke Yi raised his hand and swore, "I swear I will never go to the gambling house again!"

Shang Tingli stared at him without blinking.

"...I will study hard too." Ke Yi said with difficulty.

Shang Tingli kept a straight face and said nothing.

[You were a sinister and cunning person in your previous life. I don't dare to trust you.]

Ke Yi: “???” Huh? Is this talking about him? Is it really him?

[When you were lost, mother caught you before, but you said yes on the surface, but then you went your own way and did whatever you wanted.]

[It was not until your bad temper gradually grew and you kicked the iron plate of Concubine Yun and ended up being beaten to death that your mother realized that you had never repented and even became worse. ]

[You said, how can I trust you? ]

Ke Yi felt cold all over, his heart almost stopped beating, and his originally red face turned pale, and even looked pale if you looked closely.

Why did he accept Zhao Xiaoliu's instigation? Was it really just because Zhao Xiaoliu's words were very persuasive?

In fact, it was not just like that. The truth was that he did not take his sister-in-law's words to heart. He just thought that she was just exaggerating, so he indulged himself with Zhao Xiaoliu.

Isn't it just gambling?

What's wrong with this? Will it make him violent? Will it make him bump into his favorite concubine?

Then he just controls his temper and avoids the concubine, isn't that the problem?

Ke Yi originally held this idea, and even though he spent two days and two nights copying the "Book of Filial Piety" in the small Buddhist temple, he still did not repent until now.

It was as if I was reciting the book just now because my mother had just left. Now, my sister-in-law was here too.

Instantly, Ke Yi lowered his head.

Shang Tingli glanced at his round head and sighed slowly: "Although people choose their own path, Xiaowu, sister-in-law sincerely hopes that you can listen to sister-in-law's advice. Stop gambling. You are still young and can't grasp the depth of the water."

Ke Yi pursed his lips.

Shang Tingli added: "You are still young, and there are countless possibilities in the future. Time is money, how can you let your money end up in a gambling house?"

Ke Yi glanced at her and whispered, "There's fun in the gambling house, and you can win money." This is not nothingness.

Shang Tingli was silent for a moment.

She said, "There are all kinds of people in the gambling house. Some people will be afraid of you because of your identity as the fifth young master of Prince Ren's mansion, and dare not do anything to you, and even flatter you everywhere. But some people come from the underworld that is not under the jurisdiction of the court, and they do whatever they want. If one day you accidentally conflict with someone, the other party will not care about your identity, and will beat you, kill you, or bury you, all depending on their mood."

Ke Yi's eyes widened.

Being so young, he had never been exposed to the dangers of the world, so he was naturally very surprised.

Shang Tingli said quietly, "And some people want to harm you just because of your identity."

Ke Yi frowned.

Although he could hear his sister-in-law's inner voice whenever he saw her, and he had not lost this ability after so many years, the things she mentioned in her inner voice were too horrifying and outrageous, so he did not believe them completely.

So far, of the things my sister-in-law mentioned, only the gamble he took actually happened.

Should he believe it or not?

Seeing that he seemed to understand but not quite, Shang Tingli gave up the idea of ​​teaching him any further.

[Forget it. I can't even recite a book without stumbling. How can you listen to me when I talk about a bunch of profound principles all at once?]

Ke Yi twitched the corner of his mouth and wanted to refute that he was not that stupid, he was just not good at memorizing.

Shang Tingli suddenly said, "I think you can actually stay in the small Buddhist temple for two more days. What do you think, Xiaowu?"

[The Queen Mother will pass away at the end of the month. The whole country will be in mourning. I'm afraid there will be a chance for you to sneak in. It's better to give up your idea as soon as possible.]

She went back to formulate a new "rescue" plan for Ke Xiaowu and the prince. The former was slippery, and the latter was suspected of having epilepsy and recognized the fourth prince as his master. These two brothers were really a headache.

Ke Yi's scalp was numb, and his whole body was rejecting: "No, no need?"

Shang Tingli looked at him for a long while before saying, "Then promise to study hard and not gamble anymore... Never mind, take your time. Will you promise to gamble less?"

Ke Yi hurriedly said: "I promise!"

Shang Tingli asked: "Promise of what?"

Ke Yi: "Promise to study hard and gamble less!"

"Honesty?"

"Save……"

Shang Tingli interrupted him: "Don't say Baozhen, you have to say sure and affirmative!"

"...Okay sister-in-law, I am sure and certain."

Shang Tingli nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, then you can continue to recite. I am very free at the moment, and I will listen to you recite when I have time."

“……”But he didn’t want to recite it.

"Read it from beginning to end first, then start to recite it."

Ke Yi gritted his teeth and grabbed a book beside him, and began to read in front of her: "The way of the university is to manifest the bright virtue, to be close to the people, and to achieve the highest good..."

Shang Tingli was not paying full attention to what he was saying, his thoughts were drifting away.

[Who should I give the military book left by my father to? ]

"…Everything has its root and its branches, every matter has its end and its beginning. If you know what comes first and what comes later, then you are close to the right path…" Ke Yi's ears were attracted by her voice, and he was not concentrating on reading.

[The Crown Prince? He is definitely the lackey of the Fourth Prince. If you serve him, you will be feeding the dog and harming yourself!]

"…In ancient times, those who wished to manifest virtue throughout the world first governed their own country…" Ke Yi could not help but shiver. This time he pretended not to hear his elder brother's scolding. He would try to say it behind his back next time so that he would not let him hear his thoughts.

Shang Tingli glanced at him suddenly.

Ke Yi straightened his back and raised his voice even louder: "Those who wish to improve themselves..."

[Forget it, you won’t give it to me either. You are determined to be the king of gambling. You don’t deserve it.]

Ke Yi: “…”
