After her fate was taken away, she was favored by her five brothers.

"Yes, Dean, Yun Zhiqian has dropped out of school. I came to see you to persuade him..."

Before the doorman could finish his words, Dean Lu was seen striding out, heading towards the doorman.

She looked very anxious, and I guess she was just like him, cherishing talent.

He carefully helped the dean close the door and walked towards the gatehouse.

As soon as Dean Lu walked into the gatehouse, he saw Yun Zhiqian sitting there, and then he believed what the gatehouse said.

He couldn't help but feel heartbroken to see such an excellent student ruining his own future.

He went to the capital a few days ago and returned to the academy yesterday. If the doorman had not told him, he would have had no idea that Yun Zhiqian had dropped out of school.

"Can you tell me why you want to drop out of school?"

When Yun Zhiqian saw that it was Dean Lu, he was slightly startled and instantly realized that the doorman had deceived him, but he could also understand the doorman's good intentions, so he did not blame him.

Yun Zhiqian quickly stood up and bowed to Dean Lu, saying, "Student Yun Zhiqian greets Dean Lu."

"Well. Sit down." After Dean Lu sat down, he motioned Yun Zhiqian to sit down.

“If your family is in trouble, feel free to come to me and I will do my best to help you as much as I can.

Dean Lu also knew the situation of the Yun family. It was really beyond the capacity of the Yun couple to support five scholars.

Because of this, he was the one who made the decision to waive the tuition fees for the Yun family.

Could it be that the Yun family has suffered another misfortune?

"Thank you for your kindness, Dean. I just don't want to study anymore. There is no other reason."

Dean Lu didn't believe it.

If someone who loves reading so much is suddenly told that he doesn't like reading, he won't believe it.

Seeing Dean Lu's eyes full of doubt, Yun Zhiqian had no choice but to bite the bullet and speak again: "I'm not interested in this!"

"No, you are not allowed to drop out of school without my consent!"

"Dean..."

"How about this, I will waive your tuition for one year, and the academy will provide your writing brushes, inkstones, and inkstones. Come to school with peace of mind."

Dean Lu really couldn't bear to see the students he had trained with great difficulty being ruined like this. The academy examination was about to be held in August, and the students he, Lu Yuanzheng, taught were no worse than those in those academies in the capital.

How could he bear to give up such a good seedling?

But it's too late. If the dean had said this a few days ago, Yun Zhiqian might have considered it. But now that the shop has been opened and the money has been invested, there is no reason to give up halfway.

Besides, his parents have no income now. Even if the dean waives his tuition, how will he solve the problem of food and clothing for the family?

Seeing Yun Zhiqian hesitate, Dean Lu quickly said, "If you have any other difficulties, just let me know."

But Yun Zhiqian still stubbornly replied: "Thank you for the kindness, Dean. I just don't want to study anymore. It has nothing to do with anything else."

Seeing Yun Zhiqian's determined eyes, Dean Lu knew that he could no longer keep him, and felt quite regretful.

"However, I can still take part in the college entrance examination in August."

Dean Lu asked anxiously: "Is it really possible?"

If Yun Zhiqian's situation did not allow him to come to the academy to study, with his current talent, he would have no problem passing the examination to become a scholar.

And the fact that his Shigu Academy had one more scholar was also an honor for their Shigu Academy.

"But, can the dean promise me one thing?"

Dean Lu waved his hand and said, "Just go ahead and say it."

"Dean, my third brother has been very smart since he was young, and he is much better than me in studying. I wonder if the dean can accept him as a student?"

As soon as Yun Zhiqian finished speaking, Dean Lu’s brows furrowed.

Many years ago, many students tried to win over the college teacher and persuade him to accept them as his disciples.

In order to maintain the peace of the academy, he once said that he would treat all students who entered Shigu Academy equally and would no longer accept students individually in his life.

Later, he met a few students he liked and wanted to take them under his wing, but when he thought about what he had said when he let them go, he gave up the idea.

If I accept students now, wouldn’t I be slapping myself in the face?

He did not teach often and did not have a deep impression of Yun Zhiyan. He remembered that Yun Zhiyan was a well-behaved child who did not like to socialize with others and only cared about studying.

Dean Lu has never verified whether Yun Zhiyan really has a talent for studying.

Even if it was proven that he was a genius, he had no intention of taking him under his wing.

After a long while, he finally said, "Let him take part in this year's college entrance examination. If he can pass, I will recognize his talent and make an exception to accept him as my disciple."

"If you don't have time to study at the academy, then study hard at home. I hope you will be on the list this time."

Dean Lu was just delaying the situation to make things difficult for Yun Zhiqian. With Yun Zhiyan's current age, it would be impossible for him to pass the college entrance examination.

Unexpectedly, Yun Zhiqian quickly stood up and saluted, and said with joy: "Thank you, Dean Lu, for your kindness. I will do my best and will never let you down."

“And this ice…”

No need to send me off. Dean Lu hadn’t finished his words when he heard Yun Zhiqian say:

"Don't worry, Dean. I will come to the academy every day to deliver ten, no, twenty pieces of ice for your use. I'll take my leave now!"

Yun Zhiqian saluted again, fearing that Dean Lu would go back on his word, and then he quickly retreated.

Dean Lu wanted to call out to Yun Zhiqian, but he didn't expect the other party to move so quickly and walked away in the blink of an eye.

Alas, if he were given a choice, he would really prefer Yun Zhiqian to be his student.

This person is down-to-earth, hardworking, humble, sincere, quick-witted and adaptable to circumstances. He is truly a promising talent.

If he entered officialdom, he would surely be able to handle it with ease, and perhaps even make up for his regrets in the past.

It’s a pity that fate plays such a trick on us!

Yun Zhiqian didn't know what Dean Lu was thinking at the moment. At this moment, he had to hurry to the prefect's mansion and then rush back to the shop as soon as possible. He didn't know how busy the shop was at the moment and whether his sister could handle it.

The carriage arrived at the prefect's mansion without stopping, and Yun Zhiqian jumped off.

Before he could open his mouth, he heard the guards of the prefectural government shouting, "Who are you? Please leave immediately."

"My two guard brothers, I am Yun Zhiqian from Yunji Ice Drink Shop in the west of the city. I came to the governor's mansion specially to deliver ice, but don't worry, the ice is all free..."

Before Yun Zhiqian finished speaking, he heard the guard yell again, "Please leave immediately."

"Brother..."

The guard raised his spear. Yun Zhiqian didn't dare to stay any longer this time: "Okay, I'll leave now."

It seems that it is difficult to send gifts to the prefectural government.

Xie Mansion

Qingnan knelt on one knee and reported to Prince Chen: "Master, we have not found any clues about the Seventh Prince so far. Could it be that we are looking in the wrong direction?

We found out that three babies were born in the Su Mansion during those few days. All three babies were boys. When the Su Mansion was in trouble, all three babies were sent away. I guess..."
