Rich Peasant Girl: The General's Wife Has Space

But this time it was different. The emperor was also a man, and no man could tolerate being cuckolded, let alone his beloved woman.

The emperor did not take any action yet, but found a reason to demote Shen Zhaonian to a small county official in Weinan City near the border. When he saw the appearance of the second prince, the emperor also became suspicious.

The second prince looks more like his mother. The imperial concubine gave birth to the second prince after returning to the palace after returning home to visit her parents. Is this really her son?

The mystery grew bigger and bigger like a snowball. Finally, one day, the emperor could no longer hold back and found a reason to confer the title of Prince Anle on the second prince. He was sent to his fiefdom and was not allowed to enter the capital without being summoned. Concubine Zhao was also confined to the Millennium Palace.

The imperial concubine's maternal family, the Zhao family, was demoted three levels due to false charges such as allowing their clansmen to seize farmland and forcibly abduct women.

The Zhao family, who were on the same side as the second prince, were also implicated, especially after Zhao Wu was betrayed by a traitor and suffered a defeat, they were demoted again and again and were demoted to commoners.

Now the Queen and all the palaces were relieved. The Queen became more arrogant, and people's hearts were in turmoil. This time the Second Prince was killed, and some people were probably afraid that the Second Prince would come back to life, and keeping him would be a disaster after all.

Until the morning, Zhao Mingyuan did not find any signs of fever in Li Mingyue, so he felt relieved. At this moment, Li Mingyue also slowly woke up.

Xiao Wan didn't know that the person she saved was the second prince of the current dynasty. The next morning, Xiao Wan and her father checked the construction progress of the workshop. Uncle Xiao was both working and supervising.

Liu Yanqing was working at the site where Xiao Wan's family was building a house, and was also responsible for supervision.

After watching for a while, Xiao Wan went home to find Liu and Old Man Xiao to discuss preparing things. She also asked Zhao Xuancheng, the grandson of the village head, about finding a school for her younger brother. The two nodded in agreement.

Liu prepared a large piece of pork belly, a pound of tea and a box of snacks. She left Xiao Yuer at Aunt Wang's house with Ni'er, and then took the things and went to the headman's house.

The headman's family was all there. His wife Zheng and daughter-in-law Yao came to greet them, and Liu handed them the things.

Zheng looked at the things in their hands and said angrily, "Second brother, if you have anything to say, just come over and tell me. If you take anything, take it back later."

After hearing this, Yao's smile faded a little.

Xiao Wan and her brother called grandma and aunt. Zheng looked at Xiao Wan's smart and gentle appearance, and was so happy that she pulled the siblings and asked Liu and Xiao's father to enter the house.

After entering the house, Zhao Lizheng asked the family what they were doing there. Old Man Xiao said, "Uncle Zhao, this is the case. My son Zhengping is old enough to start learning. I was thinking of finding a school for him to go to, so I thought I'd ask Cheng'er."

Before the head of the village said anything, Yao became nervous. She hoped that her son would be asked to teach her. Her son was now a scholar and would take the imperial examination next. He had a heavy workload and had no time to meddle in other people's affairs.

The village head stroked his beard and nodded: "Indeed, since we can afford it, we should let the children learn to read and write, so that they can have a better future than us."

Zheng was listening and was secretly surprised. The Xiao family had really become rich. They had built a workshop and a new house, and now they were even sending their son to school. Looking at Xiao Wan's current appearance, she couldn't help but think of what the old man had said before.

After the head of the village finished speaking, he called out Zhao Xuancheng who was on leave at home.

Zhao Xuancheng was fifteen years old, wearing a dark blue robe, with a handsome face, a medium build, and a gentle appearance, which made people feel good about him.

As soon as he came in, he bowed to his grandparents and mother. When he saw Xiao Wan's family, he bowed again and called out "Uncle Xiao" and "Aunt Xiao". Then he turned around and saw Xiao Wan and smiled gently.

Xiao Laoer and Liu were so frightened that they hurriedly returned the greeting. This was a scholar, and he was even greeting them. They were supported by Zhao Xuancheng.

Xiao Wan developed a liking for her, and Zhao Lizheng hurriedly explained the situation to his grandson. Zhao Xuancheng looked at Xiao Zhengping, pondered for a while, and asked Xiao Zhengping if he had ever learned to read. Xiao Zhengping replied nervously that he had only learned a few words from his sister Xiao Wan and recited the Three Character Classic.

When Zhao Xuancheng heard this, he turned around and looked at Xiao Wan. He saw that the girl was gentle and amiable. She was wearing a blue cotton skirt and was looking at her brother with a smile, silently encouraging him.

Zhao Xuancheng's heart moved, but he didn't say much. He knew what was going on.

So he said to the four members of the Xiao family, "Uncle and Aunt, Zhengping is still young and needs more serious enlightenment to consolidate his foundation. There is a Qingshan School in town where I studied when I was a child. I can send him there tomorrow and ask my mentor to examine him."

When the Xiao family heard this, they were so excited that they thanked him repeatedly. They agreed to get up early the next day and go to Qingshan School together. After putting down their things, they said goodbye.

After the Xiao family left, Yao asked her son unhappily, "Cheng'er, won't this delay your schooling? Why are you bothering with these trivial matters?"

Zhao Lizheng's face darkened, and when Yao saw her father-in-law's attitude, she didn't dare to say a word.

Zhao Xuancheng smiled and comforted his mother, and Yao Shi felt better. Zheng Shi let the mother and daughter leave, and then looked at the head of the village: "The Xiao family is really prosperous. Xiao Wan looks pretty and has a good character."

Zhao Lizheng nodded slightly and said, let's see what the Xiao family's future holds. It won't be too bad.

The family went home and took Xiao Yuer back. Liu hurriedly found the new clothes she had made for Xiao Zhengping before. Knowing that he was going to school, she made an extra set of clothes for him to change into.

Early the next morning, Old Man Xiao dressed up Xiao Wan and Xiao Zhengping, drove a donkey cart to pick up Zhao Xuancheng, and went to the town.

With the recommendation of Zhao Xuancheng, his teacher Master Guan tested Xiao Zhengping's knowledge. Although Xiao Zhengping was nervous, he still answered the questions. Master Guan thought that this little guy was a good seedling and accepted him.

Zhao Xuancheng had to go to class, so he said goodbye to his teacher and left.

Xiao Zhengping was still young after all, and his face turned red with excitement. Xiao Wan was also happy for her brother, and Father Xiao even hugged his son.

The family paid the six-month tuition of thirty taels of silver, put down the eggs, meat, tea and snacks they were going to bring to the teacher, and went to buy pens, ink, paper and inkstone.

Xiao Wan didn't buy any good pens, ink, paper, and inkstone. After all, she had just started learning and was only using them for practice.

When they got home in the evening, the family was in a lively mood. Xiao Wan teased her brother, "Ping'er, when you come back from school, you have to teach me and Yu'er all the knowledge you learned. You have a heavy responsibility."

Xiao Zhengping nodded solemnly and patted his chest, making the whole family laugh.
