"No." Ren Baozhi not only did not let go, but chuckled, wrapped his arms around Chen Lanyue's legs, and gave a light push to carry her more steadily.

Chen Lanyue held Ren Baozhi's shoulders with one hand and covered her mouth with the other hand, laughing: "Hey, pickled radish, you like carrying me so much."

Ren Baozhi could feel the trembling body of the person on her back laughing, so she asked instead of answering, "Are you happy?"

Chen Lanyue's face flushed red as she was guessed at her thoughts. She quickly retorted, "No... No way! I don't!"

"I have another way to make you happier, do you want to know?"

"What...what method?" Chen Lanyue's face was still red.

"You said: You've been training for so long, why are you still tired after carrying someone? You're too weak."

Chen Lanyue buried her head in the crook of Ren Baozhi's neck and said sullenly, "I won't tell you."

"Why? Are you afraid that I'll be unhappy?"

Chen Lanyue hit her shoulder: "No, it's not."

"If you don't say it, then it's what it is." Ren Baozhi teased her intentionally.

Provoking someone was most effective on Chen Lanyue. Her voice could be heard from behind: "Jiang Luobo, you've been training for so long, why are you still tired after carrying someone? You're too weak!"

After saying this, Chen Lanyue felt that the depression in her heart seemed to have indeed subsided a little, but she was worried that Ren Baozhi would think that she really despised her for being weak, so she asked, "Jiang Radish, you are not angry, are you?"

Wow, when did my sister start to care so much about my emotions?

A smile appeared on Ren Baozhi's face: "Of course not, please continue."

"You've been training for so long, how come you're still tired from carrying people? You've been training for so long, how come you're still tired from carrying people?"

After Chen Lanyue finished speaking, she lay on Ren Baozhi and giggled: "I do seem to be happier now."

"When encountering problems, try to find the reasons from others. You are not important at all, you know? I won't be angry if you criticize me, but if you belittle yourself, I don't want to listen."

After hearing what Ren Baozhi said, Chen Lanyue couldn't help but ask, "Jiangluo, why are you so nice to me?"

"Huh? Don't you know?"

"what do you know?"

"I treat you so well because you are not in good health."

"Are you saying my legs are not good?"

"Do not."

"What's wrong with that?"

"Brain."

"Hey, you pickled radish! Who are you calling stupid?"

The system's announcement sounded again: [Chen Lanyue's fate rewriting progress increased by 2%, earning 20 points. The total fate rewriting progress is 29%.]

Ren Baozhi was in a good mood. He lifted Chen Lanyue up again and carried her even tighter on his back.

After walking a few more miles, they could see a bright red fence in the distance. Chen Lanyue pointed there and said, "That's the residence of Jiang Jijiu."

The head of the Imperial College is also a third-rank official, and his gate can be opened directly on the wall of the square. If he drives here, even if he passes by Heshan Square, he may be noticed by people from the Jiang Mansion, and it is not good to let the carriage stop here for too long.

This is also why Ren Baozhi parked the carriage outside the block.

She put Chen Lanyue down, pretended to be a passerby, and pretended to pass by the main gate of Jiang Mansion.

Through the Wutou Gate, she could clearly see a vermilion gate standing tall. The gate was as high as two stories and as wide as three rooms. The top was covered with black ceramic tiles, and there was an upturned "chiwei" at each end of the roof.

In front of the door stood a row of sharp halberds, flashing with cold light, pointing straight to the sky.

Seeing her lost in thought, Chen Lanyue asked, "Isn't it very impressive?"

"It's really impressive."

"It would be great if I could marry into the family of a third-rank official and live in such a luxurious mansion. Even if it means crying every day, I would be willing to do it." Chen Lanyue was fascinated.

"Do you think my mother, after marrying into a wealthy family, has been weeping every day, as you said?"

Chen Lanyue couldn't laugh: "Then, then I want to find someone who treats me well. I don't want to cry every day."

"Since Yue'er is so eager to be from a noble family, why doesn't she set her sights on the harem? Wouldn't it be more noble to be by the side of a heavenly man?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Lanyue shook her head like a rattle. "I dare not even think about it. You don't know that all those concubines in the harem were forced by the Empress to study and learn to read. They never had the chance to see the Emperor. In the days ahead, they will only have boring books to accompany them. They will never receive the Emperor's favor again. It's really pitiful."

"The Queen Mother asked the concubines to go to school?" Ren Baozhi looked surprised.

"That's right! I think the Queen Mother wants to monopolize the favor of the Saint. She is really scheming!" Chen Lanyue was indignant.

Ren Baozhi didn't say anything else, she had her own thoughts.

If the Queen Mother also wanted to promote women's education, then the proposal to build a girls' school was not necessarily proposed by Princess Qianqiu, but was instructed by the Queen Mother.

If that is the case, I must set up the newspaper as soon as possible. Perhaps I can take this opportunity to have a chance to meet the queen.

Ever since Princess Qianqiu helped her out last time, the seeds of power have taken root and sprouted in her heart.

In such a society where the strong prey on the weak, only those who are strong enough can protect themselves. If they are strong enough, they can even change the rules of the entire society.

After all, all the rules in this society are written by the strong.

Ren Baozhi murmured, "If there is a queen like this, it is not impossible for a woman to become the master of this mansion in the future."

"Sober up, Jiang Luobo! Women aren't even qualified to take the imperial examinations, let alone become officials. Besides, this is the residence of a third-rank official. Third-rank official, do you know that? I think you've really gone crazy."

"Keep your voice down and don't talk for now. Go somewhere else to take shelter while I explore the area around the Jiang Mansion."

"Hey, are you going to leave me on this dirt road? I don't care. I want to go to Heshanfang for a stroll."

Ren Baozhi looked at Chen Lanyue and saw that she hadn't moved a step. She asked in confusion, "Aren't you going to Heshanfang?"

Chen Lanyue stretched out his hands towards her, the meaning was self-evident.

Ren Baozhi had no choice but to carry Chen Lanyue on her back again, take a detour, and enter Heshanfang through the gate.

When they arrived at the gate of Taipingfang, Ren Baozhi realized how stupid his decision was to stop the carriage at Taipingfang.

Why did he only think of exploring the Jiang Mansion from the main gate? He could have parked the carriage in Heshanfang and explored from the back door!

Ren Baozhi put Chen Lanyue down, her eyes full of resentment: "Since Yue'er thought of coming here to hang out, why didn't you remind me to park the carriage here?"

Chen Lanyue looked around, but didn't look at Ren Baozhi. "I wanted to say something, but who told you to carry me on your back?"

Ren Baozhi was secretly annoyed, thinking that she must not have slept well last night and her brain was stuck.

However, she put on a smile again in the blink of an eye and said to Chen Lanyue, "You learn very quickly."

"what?"

"Look for reasons from others."

Chen Lanyue scratched his head embarrassedly: "Hehe."

When she looked up again, she found that Ren Baozhi's expression had become serious again. She asked, "Jiangluobo, why does your face change so much? What's wrong?"
