After returning from the poetry meeting that day, Jiang Tunan acted like a jerk for half a day and was severely condemned by Xiao Mingli and Xiao Mingrui.

Luo Yunqing said to Jiang Tunan with a face full of longing,

"It is a great honor to be able to enter the Women's School. Which girl in Kyoto doesn't want to enter the Women's School? If I were not married, I would definitely take the exam!"

So after pleading with Luo Yunqing for several times in vain, Jiang Tunan was still taken to the bamboo room by Xiao Mingrui and the others.

The bamboo room was originally intended to provide a unified place for the young masters of the Xiao family to study. However, Xiao Mingyue was already married, Xiao Mingli was in the Honglu Temple every day, and Xiao Mingxu would skip classes at the Imperial College, so it was impossible for him to study in the bamboo room. Therefore, only Xiao Mingrui used the bamboo room occasionally.

"Cousin, I remember you can recognize a few simple words, but I don't know how good your handwriting is. Can you write a few words for me to see?"

Jiang Tunan answered without thinking,

"I won't."

Xiao Mingli was not in a hurry, but said more gently,

"It's okay, let's take it slow. I believe that with my cousin's intelligence, she will be able to learn it well."

"Take your time? How much time do we have left for her to take her time?"

Xiao Mingrui spoke slowly, his eyes full of disapproval.

"Mingrui, don't force her."

"Brother, are you being too indulgent to her? In my opinion, she should make the most of every minute to study."

"this..."

Jiang Tunan was overwhelmed by the conversation between Xiao Mingli and Xiao Mingrui.

"That's enough! I can do it. I can do it, isn't that enough? You guys are making me dizzy with all the noise."

Jiang Tunan picked up the brush beside him and was about to write, but hesitated.

"What should I write?"

Xiao Mingrui didn't know what was going on, but he said "Chun Chi Yan Yun"

Jiang Tunan thought of the "Fuck you" he said before and blushed for a moment.

"I won't!"

Seeing Jiang Tunan like this, Xiao Mingrui found it a little funny and said,

"It's okay. I'll write it once and you can just copy it."

Jiang Tunan looked at Xiao Mingrui speechlessly, but saw that he still had that expressionless face, but his eyes were full of smiles. For a moment, Jiang Tunan's face became even redder.

Xiao Mingrui didn't say much, but walked to a desk and carefully wrote down the four words "Chun Chi Yan Yun".

Jiang Tunan took a closer look and found that these words were not written in running script like the one on the plaque of Qunfang Pavilion, but in neat regular script, perhaps to make it easier for him to understand.

The four words "Xiao Mingrui" are written vigorously and powerfully, and the force can be seen through the paper. It can be seen that Xiao Mingrui is not an ordinary person.

"Cousin please."

Xiao Mingrui gave up the seat in front of the desk and gestured to Jiang Tunan to come in.

Xiao Mingli was a little dazed. He didn't understand what Xiao Mingrui and Jiang Tunan were talking about.

"I know!"

Jiang Tunan walked to the desk angrily, picked up the pen, looked at Xiao Mingrui's words, and thought it was not difficult. So she didn't think too much and finished writing quickly.

Xiao Mingrui saw that Jiang Tunan's writing was flowing smoothly, and it didn't seem like it was his first time writing.

Xiao Mingli stared at Jiang Tunan's calligraphy, and he actually saw some artistic conception. (Jiang Tunan: Zundu, fake du?)

"Cousin, have you really never learned calligraphy before?"

Xiao Mingrui's eyes were deep, and Jiang Tunan felt annoyed. She forgot for a moment that she was an illiterate. She had been used to being in the limelight recently.

"I think... there isn't any."

"What do you mean there shouldn't be?"

"I mean, I actually wrote on the ground before. It wasn't because my family couldn't afford paper and ink, so I just imitated others and wrote on the ground. Haha, so now my writing with a brush is a little sloppy and not that pretty. Haha."

Jiang Tunan gave up struggling after he finished speaking. Only a fool would believe such a clumsy lie.

Xiao Mingli was filled with relief.

"Cousin, I didn't expect that even though you are in a difficult situation, you still have a desire to learn and make progress. I really admire you."

Jiang Tunan: ...

Xiao Mingrui: The fool is here.

"But cousin, don't underestimate yourself. Although the handwriting is not so neat, I can see some elegance in it."

Jiang Tunan was worried about her life. She was already beginning to feel stressed by the word "integrity".

Xiao Mingrui suppressed his doubts and said,

"It seems that you have a certain foundation. My brother and I will write a few calligraphy works for you to copy first, and then recite some passages every day. Although you may not get a high score in the entrance examination, you still have hope of passing."

Xiao Mingli nodded in agreement.

Jiang Tunan had no choice but to do as she was told. While they were writing, she ran aside to rest.

Now that he had calmed down, Jiang Tunan began to observe the entire bamboo room.

Bamboos are planted all around the bamboo room, hence the name. This study room is surrounded by lush green bamboos, which seems to have a certain elegance in it.

When the breeze blows, you can smell a faint bamboo fragrance in the air.

Suddenly, Jiang Tunan noticed a portrait hanging nearby. The person in the painting was gentle and elegant. It was Xiao Mingli, the second son of the Xiao family.

"Tsk tsk tsk, they even put up their own portraits. It's a good thing I'm handsome."

Jiang Tunan admired Xiao Mingli's beauty while silently complaining.

Suddenly, Jiang Tunan saw a special cloud and bamboo pattern on the clothes worn by Xiao Mingli in the painting, which was exactly the same as the one she had seen in her dream before!

Jiang Tunan's heart began to ache again and again. Chunhua was waiting in the distance. Seeing Jiang Tunan in such pain, she hurried forward.

"Miss, what's wrong with you?"

"My heart aches a little."

Chunhua was shocked.

"Miss, wait a minute, I'll go get the doctor!"

Jiang Tunan's forehead was covered with beads of sweat, and Xiao Mingli and the others finally noticed Jiang Tunan's situation.

"What's wrong with my cousin?"

"what happened?"

Xiao Mingli and Xiao Mingrui asked questions one after another, but Jiang Tunan covered his chest and said nothing.

"My two young masters, I will go and get the doctor. Please take care of the young lady."

Chunhua said hurriedly, Xiao Mingli nodded, and seeing this, Chunhua hurried out.

Xiao Mingli tried to support Jiang Tunan, but Jiang Tunan cleverly avoided him.

"Cousin Mingrui, can you help me go over there and rest for a while?"

Xiao Mingli did not notice Jiang Tunan's abnormality, but Xiao Mingrui noticed Jiang Tunan's little movements.

"Ah."

Xiao Mingrui silently helped Jiang Tunan aside without exposing the truth.

Jiang Tunan felt cold all over, and in a trance she seemed to be back in the prison cell in her dream. She was lying on the cold floor, her body covered with scars.

Xiao Mingli is the male protagonist!

So, maybe at some point in the future, Xiao Mingli will send the heroine to hell because of her own hands, no matter how gentle he behaves now.

It’s terrible, really terrible. Jiang Tunan is extremely scared now.

Thinking about it, Jiang Tunan suddenly thought of the protection card of the girls' school. It seems that now, it is urgent to get into the girls' school!

Even if it would arouse suspicion, she would try her best to get in.

"what happened?"

Xiao Mingrui discovered that Jiang Tunan's body was trembling slightly.

"No...it's okay. I'm...better now. Thank you, cousin Mingrui."

Jiang Tunan regained some spirit and consciously put some distance between himself and Xiao Mingrui.

Xiao Mingrui noticed Jiang Tunan's actions, but said nothing and turned his attitude of keeping strangers away again.

"Doctor Wang, please come in quickly. My young lady is inside."

Chunhua's anxious voice came from outside the house. I didn't expect this girl to be so quick.

Jiang Tunan looked up and saw that this was the doctor who was called back after being locked out last time. It was him again.

"Miss Jiang, long time no see."

Doctor Wang's voice sounded somewhat resentful. Jiang Tunan wondered what was going on. This time he was not locked out of the door.

"The young lady's maid was really scary. She said that the young lady was seriously ill and asked me to come quickly. She even took down the door of my toilet for this purpose."

Doctor Wang was in great pain, but no one understood him. He was taking a shit, and as he was doing it, the door fell down with a bang. He was so scared that he immediately broke his leg and stood up.

"I don't think Miss Jiang is seriously ill. Please stretch out your hand."

Jiang Tunan felt a little guilty and stretched out his hand awkwardly. Doctor Wang sighed heavily, prepared himself mentally, and then carefully felt Jiang Tunan's pulse.

You better be okay!

"Miss Jiang was born with a weak constitution, and then she overworked, so she felt uncomfortable, but it's nothing serious. She just needs to take good care of herself in the future."

Doctor Wang wrote the prescription and was obviously very resentful when he was teaching it to Chunhua.

"Thank you for your hard work, Doctor Wang. I'll ask the concierge to give you some more travel expenses later. Doctor Wang, please don't despise me."

Xiao Mingrui saw Doctor Wang out. Xiao Mingli wanted to say something to Jiang Tunan, but was interrupted by Jiang Tunan.

"Cousin Mingli, I want to be alone for a while, is that okay?"

Xiao Mingli felt that Jiang Tunan suddenly became strange, but he still nodded and went out.

Jiang Tunan looked at the painting in silence.
