The hero fell for the cannon fodder maid.

He Jingxun had no objection to this. He thought it was a good idea. No one would be nice to him for no reason, except Sister Yue'er of course.

He also didn't want to be trained by He Jingming because of Xiao Wanyue. He also had his own dignity.

"I accept the prince's test." The thirteen-year-old boy bowed, his face full of maturity and seriousness.

Xiao Wanyue felt even more distressed when she saw this. Such a young child, a junior high school student at that, had to work hard to strive for himself and struggle to survive.

All he could see was the pitiful look of He Jingxun, and He Jingming on the side was even more unhappy. This kid always attracted Yue'er's attention.

At this time, only a few stars in the sky were shining. It was almost midnight, and Xiao Wanyue felt so sleepy that she couldn't open her eyes. She felt that it was a wrong decision for her to come here today. Wouldn't it be uncomfortable to sleep alone on the big bed in the courtyard? How stupid.

"Let's put the test off until tomorrow. It's late at night and everyone is asleep. We're quite tired. Let's have a good rest first and try again tomorrow." Xiao Wanyue said, looking at the two of them.

The two of them agreed deeply and nodded in agreement at the same time. Xiao Wanyue managed to get away with it for another day. She was still a little scared of He Jingming. He kept asking her for an answer, and she didn't know how to respond.

Xiao Wanyue thought about it and told He Jingming. She was still a little worried about the mother and son. If the plot was irreversible, it would be very dangerous for the two of them outside. At least nothing would happen to He Jingming.

"Well, Zheng Weilou and the others are in the courtyard of Qingpingfang. You should go and bring them back. I'm worried about them being outside." Xiao Wanyue said to He Jingming.

"Well, I know I will send someone to protect them soon. You should go and have a rest too." He Jingming said with a gentle expression.

Yue'er shouldn't leave, right? He actually doesn't want that to happen. He can give her the indenture contract, but he's afraid that if he gives it to her, she'll run away. He is really a selfish person. He wants to have her forever. He wants her to be with him in his dreams or in reality.

No one knew that it was the moon that accompanied him on countless lonely nights, soothing all the restlessness in his heart.

How could she leave him? The thought of it made him feel heartbroken. She couldn't leave him. He had thought about killing her before so that he wouldn't pay more attention to her, but he couldn't do it.

"Okay, let's talk about it tomorrow." He Jingming replied.

Several people went to rest separately.

Recently, He Jingming has not asked her to fulfill her duties as a personal maid, and Xiao Wanyue is very happy about it. This time she left the Marquis' Mansion to see what He Jingming's tolerance for her is. She wanted to test it.

She thought she could go a little further next time.

When I got back to the room, I put down the things in my hands, threw myself on the bed and wanted to fall asleep. After thinking about it, I got up, got some water to wash up before going to sleep.

A dreamless night.

She woke up early the next morning when it was bright outside. She still felt a little reluctant to leave. She had everything in her dream. She was still happily watching videos and eating delicious hot pot. But suddenly she woke up. She was really craving for hot pot.

No, she must go out to eat hotpot these days, or she can cook it herself.

But she has no money. Why not go to He Jingming and ask for some? He should give it to her.

After tidying herself up and having breakfast, she saw two people in the yard looking at each other in confusion. She then remembered the test they talked about last night. She was not worried about He Jingxun at all. He would definitely pass it. He was the villain in the novel, and his IQ was not inferior to the male protagonist.

He Jingming: "You have also studied the Four Books, so just mention an article you are familiar with and express your own thoughts."

He Jingxun: "Okay."

He started talking without even thinking, and didn't look like someone who hadn't read a book in years. No wonder the commentators said that if he hadn't had a leg disease, he would have become a powerful prime minister long ago and wouldn't have had to be anyone's advisor.

"In ancient times, those who wished to manifest the illustrious virtues throughout the world first governed their country. Those who wished to govern their country first put their family in order; those who wished to put their family in order first cultivated themselves; those who wished to cultivate themselves first rectified their hearts; those who wished to rectify their hearts first made their intentions sincere; those who wished to make their intentions sincere first acquired knowledge; and the way to acquire knowledge is to investigate things." He Jingxun said this and began to express his views.

The general meaning is: In ancient times, if you want everyone in the world to develop upright virtues, you must first govern your own country well; self-cultivation, family management, governance of the country and peace in the world are all indispensable, that is, a person's virtues must be consistent.

He is such a knowledgeable and talented person, and he is so cute now, just a smart and cute little boy.

He Jingming was also shocked after hearing He Jingxun's explanation. He didn't realize that this kid was actually a talent. If he was trained well, he would definitely be a capable person who could govern the world and his future would be limitless. However, he still had to wait and see, observe his words and deeds, in order to understand what kind of person he was.

"Yes, you have your own unique insights, but it also depends on your perseverance. Today you copy these two military books, and I will come to check them tomorrow." He Jingming said. Of course, he did not simply ask him to copy military books, but to see if he had the talent for learning. His insights on the Four Books were already impressive, and this also tested a person's perseverance. Without perseverance, it would be impossible to copy these two military books.

He Jingxun: "Thank you, Prince, for giving me this opportunity." He bowed respectfully. During the conversation with He Jingming, he knew that he was a very talented and knowledgeable person, and he admired him very much.

He Jingming nodded, and saw Xiao Wanyue looking at them with a slight smile on her face.

"Have you two finished the test?" Xiao Wanyue said with her peach blossom eyes wide open.

"Yes, Jingxun is indeed a talented person with great potential." He Jingming did not belittle or conceal He Jingxun's talents. He still admired this boy very much.

"Yes, our Xiao Xun is smart." Xiao Wanyue also responded.

He Jingxun, who was standing by, was very happy to hear this. His sister praised him again and told him to become even better and ask his sister to praise him more. She also said, "Our little Xun." Could it be that his sister also felt that they were a family? He had always treated her as his sister.

He Jingming felt that this boy was just here to attract Yue'er's attention, and he really wanted to throw him out. Yue'er said this, which made him even more upset. He was so jealous.

"Then you have to work hard. Didn't the prince just give you two military books? Read them carefully." Xiao Wanyue said.

"Yes, sister, I will definitely watch it carefully and will not let you down." He Jingxun said seriously that he would not let his sister down.

After saying that, he reluctantly left the room with the military book.

Xiao Wanyue thought He Jingxun was so cute as he kept looking back every few steps. He was too clingy.

After being fed by her for many days, the little villain has grown a lot taller. His face is no longer pale and skinny, and he has shown his delicate and handsome face.

There were only two people left in the yard. Xiao Wanyue looked at He Jingming casually. She didn't know what to do. She was really bored.

"Prince, have you sent someone to pick up Zheng Weilou and the others?" She was still a little worried, and had a bad premonition in her heart. Her heart was beating fast. Although she had only been with them for an afternoon, less than a day, she just felt that they were very good and made her feel warm. She didn't want anything to happen to them.

"Someone has already gone there today and should be back soon. Don't worry." He Jingming had just finished speaking when someone outside the courtyard shouted, "Master, this is bad."

Just then she saw He Chuan coming in. Xiao Wanyue knew something was wrong. Could something have happened?

He Jingming was also a little flustered, but he didn't show it on his face and asked, "Why are you panicking? What happened?"

He Chuan: "Master, something terrible has happened. Someone... is missing."

He Jingming, Xiao Wanyue: "What?"
