After I traveled through the book, my sister kidnapped my mother

Su Qingluo said from the side: "You have to tell her. Even if you don't tell her, she will know it."

"That's why I have a headache. I originally thought that if Teacher Duan's health improved, she could go back and help Lingling manage the family business."

"The Duan family has reformed under Lingling. I killed all those who advocated rebellion. Lingling donated three quarters of the Duan family's property, leaving only a small part for the innocent members of the family to live on. Although it is a large family compared to ordinary people, it is still seriously damaged and there are many things that need to be dealt with."

"Lingling has been carrying a Gu poison since her mother's womb. Later, those people from the Duan Clan Elders' Council poisoned her again in order to control her. Her body has long been broken. Dean Lu also said that there is nothing she can do. She can only take care of herself and waste her time day by day. She doesn't know how long it will take."

Wen Zhimiao briefly explained Duan Jiling's situation.

After listening to this, Su Qingluo said softly, "You can't hide it anyway. Duan Yunting will eventually know."

"If she can go back, your friend will have less pressure." Yun Zhou also thought so.

"No matter what, this is their family affair. Duan Yunting can choose to go back and help or not, but you have to tell her first."

Wen Zhimiao sighed quietly: "I know, I just feel a little sad, how can people be so miserable?"

"Maybe this is cause and effect." Su Qingluo said softly.

Wen Zhimiao paused slightly. She didn't believe these things before, but now she believes them a little.

Perhaps it was really because the Duan ancestors, the elders of the Duan family and even Duan Jiling's father had done too many evil things and harmed too many people, so that Duan Jiling and Duan Yunting were both harmed by their own people.

Seeing that they had already reached the entrance of the academy, Wen Zhimiao said softly, "Then I will go find Teacher Duan tomorrow."

As she spoke, she got off the carriage first, followed by Yun Zhou and Su Qingluo.

The guard at the door saw several people coming down. The person on duty today was a newcomer and did not know Wen Zhimiao.

But from looking at their clothes, one could tell they were not ordinary people.

"What can I do for you? This is the academy and we don't accept outsiders."

Chu An stepped forward and said to the guard: "My young master is here to look for the headmaster of the academy today. Please inform him."

The two guards looked at each other and bowed to the others: "Please wait a moment."

Soon the headmaster came out. The headmaster of the academy had not been changed over the years. He was old now and half of his hair was white.

As soon as he saw Wen Zhimiao and Su Qingluo, he immediately knelt down.

Chu An tactfully helped her up and said, "Your Majesty, you are just passing by today, so there is no need to be so polite."

"Okay...Okay...Dear guests, please come in."

"Is Teacher Zhuang here today?" Wen Zhimiao asked with a gentle smile.

"Yes, I am teaching now."

"Oh, then why don't we wait until she finishes class and have a meal together."

"Master, there is no need to be so nervous. I came here today because I want to ask you something. Mother is just accompanying me."

Even though she said so, Wen couldn't help but feel nervous when facing the emperor, the headmaster.

However, after entering the room, Wen Zhimiao felt a little better after getting straight to the point.

Wen Zhimiao didn't ask anything else, just asked about the current situation of adopting children in Lulin Academy.

Number of people, education and other things.

Because many people had abandoned their children here before, a shelter for abandoned babies was set up later. The headmistress was also in charge there. After all, there were not many people in the beginning, but more and more people came later. However, she did not say that the responsibility would be transferred to other people.

I did everything myself, firstly to save money, and secondly because I couldn't find the right person.

After Wen Zhimiao asked some questions, the bell for the end of lunch get out of class rang.

"Are the students going to have lunch and rest?" Wen Zhimiao asked casually.

"Yes, Your Highness." After saying that, she carefully asked Su Qingluo and Yun Zhou: "Does Your Majesty and the Queen also want to dine here?"

Su Qingluo nodded: "Let's go together, just like those students."

"This..." The headmaster was a little nervous. This was too rude.

"It's okay, don't worry, I won't blame you." This person has been working diligently over the years, and Su Qingluo would not punish her for something like the food was not tasty.

"Here."

The headmaster ordered someone to bring some food over. Wen Zhimiao smiled and said, "Chu An, you can come with us."

"Yes." Chu An bowed and responded, then followed the man to get food.

Soon Zhuang Xiaoman also came over.

Seeing Wen Zhimiao and Su Qingluo kowtow in haste, Chu An was not around and Wen Zhimiao could only go over and help her up: "Teacher, you are too polite. There is no need to do this."

"Your Highness, etiquette cannot be abolished." She was very persistent.

In recent years, Zhuang Xiaoman has been teaching in the academy quite comfortably, and it has not interfered with her writing poetry and painting. Xue Ruqing, the president of the Imperial College, has invited her several times, hoping that she can teach at the Imperial College, even if it is just a nominal position and she can go there occasionally, but Zhuang Xiaoman still refused.

She said she didn't want to be so busy, and no matter what Xue Ruqing said, it didn't make sense, so he finally gave up.

But the two of them did become friends.

Not long after Zhuang Xiaoman sat down, Chu An and the people from the academy came back with food.

The food certainly didn't look comparable to the ones in the palace or in restaurants outside, but it didn't taste bad either. Wen Zhimiao was not picky anyway, and she felt that it was much better than what she had eaten in the bandit's lair.

Su Qingluo ate a few bites but she was not particularly used to it. Yun Zhou was okay too. She and Wen Zhimiao were not too picky about food. The food she had eaten in the orphanage before was not as good as this. The uncle in the orphanage’s kitchen had really poor cooking skills.

Seeing that Wen Zhimiao was eating happily, Su Qingluo asked, "Didn't the master give you food this morning?"

"No, I was full in the morning, but I'm hungry again now, mom. I'm still growing." Wen Zhimiao said seriously. It was not false. She did have a big appetite. She might not continue to grow taller, but she still needed to gain weight.

"Besides, mother, you don't know that this food is much better than the one in the bandit's den."

Su Qingluo:......

She didn't know and didn't want to know. After all, she had no interest in eating and living with the bandits.

Only Wen Zhimiao would have this idea.

"Well, eat more."

Yun Zhou had almost finished one and a half bowls. Although Wen Zhimiao ate a lot, he ate quickly and finished in about the same time as the others.

After dinner, Wen Zhimiao continued to ask the headmaster some questions.

Wen Zhimiao had asked almost all the questions and had a general idea in her mind, so she didn't stay any longer. If she continued to stay here, the headmaster and Zhuang Xiaoman would also be under a lot of pressure.

After leaving the academy, Wen Zhimiao asked Yun Zhou and Su Qingluo, "Mom, are you interested in going to see a play? I heard that a troupe from the south is performing in Yunjing City recently. It's quite popular. Do you two want to go and see it?"

"Look at Zhou Zhou." Su Qingluo could do whatever she wanted.

After all, she had promised Yunzhou that he would play with her for the next few days, and after she passed the imperial examination, Yunzhou would accompany her to the hunting grounds of the palace to hunt.
