Never divorce, never stop getting rich

Near Lingshan, in the wilderness, the surrounding mountains overlap and the forests are lush and leafy. It is obvious that it is a secluded and deep place with few people.

There is only one road leading to Lingshan Temple, which is narrow and broken, making it difficult for carriages to pass through. It is surrounded by deep mountains and old forests, and ferocious beasts often appear.

At this time, there was no one on the road. Instead, there were many armed men in black hiding in the dense woods on both sides. They stared at the end of the road, afraid of missing the opportunity if they missed a glance.

"Centurion, there's a message coming in saying that the person has left the palace."

The messenger took the note from the pigeon and came over to reply.

"Alright!" said the elder lying in ambush at the front, his eyes sparkling. "One of our brothers was killed in this place before, and we must avenge that loss today!"

Everyone responded in unison.

"Listen up, brothers. When you see a carriage, the vanguard will first hitch the horses, and then the second team will follow up to subdue the driver and the accompanying personnel.

The higher-ups said, no need to be lenient, just get the person back alive, and don't show any mercy when the time comes."

"Centurion, just wait and see. I'm never polite to women!"

"I heard that the maidservant beside that woman will also follow her. If she is no longer needed by the boss, can you give her to me as a wife?"

"You wish!"

The centurion blew a whistle, and everyone around him immediately quieted down again.

"Don't even think about that. We've already set up an ambush. If you mess up this time, watch out for your heads!"

The jungle quickly returned to its original state. A wild boar passed through the path in the barren mountains without noticing anything unusual around it. It even passed through the woods on the opposite side and brushed past a man in black, without any sign of anything amiss.

It can be seen that these people are extremely good at hiding. If it were an ordinary person, there would be no way to escape their net this time.

Qian Qiansui deliberately changed the coachman to a coachman from the Qian Mansion this time. Su Guang had just had a conversation with her before and knew how difficult she was to deal with, so he naturally didn't bother to start another conflict over such a small matter.

She used her own coachman, and brought her own maids and dowry guards. The addition of Quan Jiafu and Lai Shun seemed like the lady was trying to ease the relationship and was not determined to exclude the people in the marquis's mansion.

But who could have expected that the carriage had just taken a few steps out of the city when the whole family heard Qian Qiansui stop the carriage.

"Ma'am? But what's the problem?"

Quan Jiafu's eyelids have been twitching all day today, and he always feels that something terrible is going to happen, but he is the manager of the lady's courtyard, so he has to bite the bullet and accompany her to Lingshan to burn incense.

"Turn around and go to Rock Mountain."

Qian Qiansui's voice made Quan Jiafu feel like he was hallucinating. After confirming it again and again, he asked anxiously, "Madam, aren't we going to Lingshan to burn incense?"

"I won't go. Instead of seeking peace of mind, I'd rather do something practical."

Qian Qiansui lifted the window screen, looked at the family portrait outside who came to ask questions, and said: "If Manager Quan wants to go, he can go on his own."

Quan Jiafu suddenly realized that something might happen to the Lingshan group. His wife was well-informed and had connections, and it might be a trap set by that old guy Su Guang. If they went there, what if they ran into that group of men in black again?

He patted his chest in fear. He was just about to flatter him and show his loyalty, but unexpectedly, Laishun came over and took out the dried meat from his bag just to give it to his dog brother to chew when he was bored.

Looking at the concern in this kid's eyes and his sincere and unpretentious acting, the whole family was so angry that their gums were bleeding.

This bastard must have done it on purpose, otherwise why would he come here to pay tribute at this time? It's obvious that he wants the lady to see the gap between them. Lai Shun just wants to be the number one in the courtyard.

"How could that be? Madam, you can go wherever you want. We will go to Rock Mountain right away."

No matter where Panshi Mountain is, as long as Madam wants to go there, we will follow her even if it is to Guanghan Palace!

The carriage turned around and completely abandoned its original route, switching from a small road to a big road. The road was unobstructed, spacious and flat.

It was not until the carriage had safely climbed the mountain that the whole family remembered where Panshi Mountain was. Isn't this the Panshi Academy that the Marquis wanted to get?

It’s not the family’s fault for being slow to react. The truth is that Panshi Academy has been completely deserted in recent years. If you are not a scholar, you may not have even heard of this name.

It's a pity to say that this academy was once glorious in its early years. It was founded before Emperor Taizong ascended the throne in order to recruit talents in the area.

At that time, Taizong was just a local official. The previous dynasty was extremely licentious and there was resentment everywhere among the people. Many people rose up in rebellion to overthrow the previous dynasty's regime.

At the beginning, Taizong had no intention of taking the throne. He just wanted to protect the people in his territory and ensure that they had enough food to eat and had access to education. But who knew that he would accidentally govern too well and become an eyesore to others.

The wars continued one after another, and in the end Taizong had no choice but to put on the imperial robe and rebuild a new country.

As an academy that had been supplying talents to Emperor Taizong during the war, Panshi Academy had also served as a royal academy. Unfortunately, after being passed down from generation to generation and undergoing changes, its glory faded and only a mess remained.

By the time of the empress, Panshi Academy had long been unable to make ends meet and was even completely out of the scope of government support, so they had to be responsible for their own profits and losses.

However, due to its location in the mountains and the lack of famous teachers, even though it produced a few famous imperial examination figures, it could not attract new students.

Gradually, even the boys around who wanted to study preferred to go to the private schools in the town. Panshi Academy became almost completely silent and no longer had any income.

The Marquis also saw this opportunity and secretly took over this academy along with the entire Rock Mountain title deed. How much money he spent on this, the whole family couldn't imagine.

Therefore, he was not optimistic about the matter of preserving the academy. Even if Qian Qiansui said it was the Marquis's intention, he didn't dare to believe it.

He had heard before that the Marquis wanted to transform this place into a summer resort. If it was still used as an academy, wouldn't the Marquis continue to lose money?

"Madam, you've had such a tiring journey. Thank you for your hard work."

"Madam is so devoted to Panshi Academy. I really..."

"Madam, please come in. Thank you for your help."

When Quan Jiafu came to his senses, he found himself at the gate of Panshi Academy. The gate was really grand. He had not received much education, but the plaque inlaid with gold letters was much more dazzling than the plaque of the Marquis' Mansion.

He glanced again at the person who wrote the inscription next to the plaque, took a deep breath, then lowered his head obediently and followed Qian Qiansui in.

Are you kidding? That was Emperor Taizong's inscription. It is definitely the only one of its kind in the entire Tang Kingdom.

Qian Qiansui has been observing the surroundings calmly. This place is much better than she imagined. At least the surrounding environment and buildings are well preserved.

The construction industry was extremely developed in ancient times, and many things would not change much for hundreds of years. She was determined in her thoughts, looking at the old scholars around her, and smiled very appropriately.
