I was just playing tricks, how come I became Bai Yueguang

The next day, Jiang Huashan got up early to ask Shen Zhuang how to become smarter and grow a new brain in the shortest time possible.

She went there with great ambition but ended up returning disappointed because the aunt from Qinyuan told her that the old man had gone out.

The goal was not achieved, and the ginger fir hung on the windowsill like a deflated ball.

"Master A Ling."

Just when she was bored, Shen Guiling led a group of people into the flower hall. The people in the yard came forward and greeted them, then let them move the flowers and plants in the yard.

"Hey~" Jiang Huashan called over the aunt working in the house and pointed at the noise in the flower hall. "What are they doing? Grandpa has been taking care of that Wei Zi plant for a long time. Aren't they afraid that they will damage it?"

Auntie took a look and replied with a smile, "Mr. Lao has already given those flowers to Master A Ling as promised. He even specially said hello when he left this morning."

Gave it to Shen Guiling?

Jiang Huashan was a little jealous. That was Grandpa's favorite flower. How could Shen Guiling have the nerve to ask for it? Grandpa was too good to him.

Several skilled people came to the bamboo garden, each holding a pot of peonies in their arms. Shen Guiling looked at them for a long time before finally choosing the young peony, Wei Zi. Seeing that he had almost finished his selection, Shen Guiling was about to return to the bamboo garden when he heard someone calling him.

"Shen Guiling!"

The young man paused, holding the flowers and looking sideways. Under the corridor, a girl leaned half of her body out of the flower window and waved at him with a smile, "Come here."

"..." Shen Guiling was silent for a moment, then turned and walked into the corridor.

"You called me?" His eyes sparkled, and even a casual glance gave people the illusion of deep concentration and affection.

Jiang Huashan nodded and said, "I have a question for you."

Shen Guiling stared at her dazzling smile for a while, then said softly, "Tell me first."

Jiang Huashan, "Let me ask you, how can I become smarter in the shortest possible time?"

Shu Ling once said that Shen Guiling is the smartest person in the world. The reason why he was able to counterattack and stand on equal footing with Shen Lanxi is not only because he is ruthless, but more importantly, he is smart. He can definitely answer this question.

Shen Guiling never expected that this short guy would ask such a question. In his opinion, people who can ask such questions have basically nothing to do with intelligence in this life.

He pretended to think seriously for a moment and replied, "Reading."

"Reading?" Jiang Huashan's expression changed immediately, and he squinted his eyes at him. "Are you kidding me?"

Shen Guiling, "Reading opens up your mind. The words of sages and great truths are all in books. If you don't believe them, forget it." He turned around and was about to leave.

"Hey!" Jiang Huashan shot out halfway and grabbed his collar. "Come back, I haven't finished what I'm saying yet."

Shen Guiling stopped again and looked at her sideways. It wasn't that he wanted to be so obedient, but if he took another step forward, he would be choked by the short man.

Jiang Huashan raised his chin and pointed at the purple violet in his arms, "This is grandpa's favorite flower. You can't take it away. Give it to me."

Is this short stump addicted to giving orders? Shen Guiling raised an eyebrow, and seeing that no one was around, he lowered his head and moved closer, "If Grandpa doesn't like it, I don't care."

Jiang Huashan looked up, eyes wide open, at Shen Guiling. What was wrong with this guy? He was the originator of the scumbags, the leader of the sanctimonious, and now he was not pretending?

Shen Guiling automatically attributed the astonishment in her eyes to stupidity, and advised gently, "You are young, it may not be too late for you to read more books from now on."

Jiang Huashan frowned, "What does maybe mean?"

Shen Guiling smiled, holding the seedlings in her arms, and turned to leave Qin Garden.

At noon, Fang Mei came to say goodbye. Jiang Huashan was taking a nap at that time. She had already confronted Fang Mei and there was nothing more to say, so she let her aunt go. Later, she heard from her aunt that Jiang Wanyi had realized her mistake and her eyes were swollen because she couldn't bear to leave her sister.

Jiang Huashan was too lazy to expose her. Her wolfish sister was not reluctant to leave her, but was clearly reluctant to leave the Shen family's wealth and glory.

To take care of them, Grandpa had specially arranged for Jiang Wanyi to attend the gifted class at Lianshi Yucai Primary School. This class wasn't just about grades; family background was paramount. Her younger sister was much more capable than her, and with the Shen family's reputation, she was sure to do well in school.

She remembered that Jiang Wanyi seemed to have done well in the entrance examination and was later directly admitted to Yingcai Junior High School. If her classmates knew that she was kicked out of the Shen family, those young masters and young ladies probably wouldn't bother to play with her anymore.

In the evening, Shen Zhuang came back just in time for dinner. Jiang Huashan had been waiting all day and finally saw him. He chirped like a sparrow and rushed forward, "Grandpa, we have Huaicheng Lion Head today."

Without waiting for Shen Zhuang to answer, Shen Zhi stepped forward to stop Jiang Huashan, squatted down and explained in a gentle voice, "Miss Jiang, the old man is a little tired today. Can I accompany you to eat?"

Jiang Huashan felt that the atmosphere was a little strange and stuck his head out to look at Shen Zhuang.

In the moonlight, the old man stood against the light, and the expression on his face was unclear. She didn't know why, but she felt that her grandfather's aura had changed after he left.

"Hey! Nosy." Shen Zhuang used his cane to push Shen Zhi aside and walked forward slowly. The light and shadow moved, reflecting the old man's kind and benevolent face. "It's just right. Grandpa is hungry too. You go to the restaurant and wait. Grandpa will go change clothes. Don't eat secretly~"

Jiang Huashan glanced at Shen Zhi beside him and nodded, "Oh! Okay." Then he jumped and ran to the restaurant.

Shen Zhuang's smile faded, and he turned to tell Shen Zhi, "Go change your clothes, don't scare the child."

Shen Zhi raised his hand and smelled his arm, nodded and left Qinyuan.

Inside the restaurant, the lights are bright yellow.

Jiang Huashan held her chin with both hands, staring blankly at the lion's head in the bowl. Just now, when Butler Shen squatted down, she seemed to smell a whiff of blood. Was Butler Shen injured or...

"What are you thinking about?"

Shen Zhuang changed into a Tang suit, and sat down smilingly, leaning on a cane.

Jiang Huashan looked Shen Zhuang up and down and breathed a sigh of relief. As long as grandpa was okay, it would be fine.

Shen Zhuang scooped a lion's head for Jiang Huashan and said, "What did you do in Qinyuan today? If you are bored when grandpa is not around, you can ask Zheng Song to take you out to play."

Zheng Song?!

Jiang Huashan's pupils suddenly trembled. How could she have forgotten this person? !

Zheng Song has been in charge of Qinyuan's security work. Although he has a strange personality, the old man trusts him very much.

In the previous life, on the night Grandpa was poisoned, Zheng Song also mysteriously disappeared. Afterwards, Shen Lanxi used all her power to find him but failed. Because he was never found, there were many theories at the time, and the Shen family was more inclined to believe that he had betrayed the old man.

The old man saw her eyes suddenly light up and thought she was playful. After thinking for a moment, he shook his head and said, "Let's wait a few days. If you're really bored these few days, go camping by the mountain springs and streams out back. Grandpa will have someone prepare it for you."

If it were in the past, Jiang Huashan would definitely not be able to hear the mystery in it, but it is different now. She clearly heard the hidden meaning in the old man's words. In a few days, could something big happen in these few days?
