Marrying a concubine and swallowing her dowry? The mistress turns around and marries a high-ranking

Chapter 66

Reporting: "Madam, Mr. Fan Zhongbo has arrived and is waiting for you outside."

Fan Zhongbo was the tutor that the Wen family hired for Qin Chuyao and Qin Jianxi.

Although the Wen family had little power, they still had a certain reputation and connections within the circle of upright civil officials.

For example, Fan Zhongbo, whom we invited this time, is quite famous. He is renowned for his talent and has taught many talented and virtuous people. Many prominent families are eager to invite him to be their teacher.

However, he was a proud and aloof person and could not be easily persuaded. The Wen family only managed to invite him because Wen Zhengyin had a long-standing friendship with Fan Zhongbo.

Shen Lingjun was very happy and led Qin Chuyao and Qin Jianxi to perform the apprenticeship ceremony for Fan Zhongbo.

She values ​​her children's education highly, and now that they have such a good teacher, she feels much more at ease.

Meanwhile, Liu Manman, who had spent a fortune to hire Master Luo, Qin Xuanrui's tutor, came to resign.

Liu Manman asked in surprise, "Why is Master Luo resigning? Is the tuition fee I offered not enough?"

Master Luo shook his head and said helplessly, "Madam Liu is very generous, but after thinking it over, I still dare not teach your son... I have gone back on my word. I will return all the tuition fees. I am truly sorry."

The Yongning Marquis's mansion has a terrible reputation. He was only brought in to teach because he was lured by Liu Manman's large sum of money, but now even that large sum of money is not enough to tempt him.

Qin Xuanrui was stripped of his title as heir apparent, which shows that the Emperor also disliked the child. Unfortunately, Master Luo could only teach Qin Xuanrui and not the other two children in the Marquis's mansion—one of whom was the new heir apparent of the Yongning Marquis.

People are naturally inclined to seek advantage and avoid harm, so he felt it was better not to take on this kind of job, lest he get himself into trouble.

Liu Manman tried to persuade him for a long time, but she still couldn't stop him from leaving, and could only watch him go.

At this time, she heard that Yufei Academy had invited the famous Mr. Fan Zhongbo to be their tutor.

Naturally, Qin Xuanrui wasn't included.

Liu Manman was so angry she was practically fuming.

Qin Xuanrui has lost his tutor, while Qin Chuyao and Qin Xuanrui have hired a famous teacher.

These snobbish people are all opportunistic and ruthless. Now that her son has lost his position as heir, the coldness and indifference of the world have been fully revealed!

Liu Manman was seething with hatred. At this point, finding a good teacher would be even more difficult, and there was absolutely no way she would ask Shen Lingjun to let Qin Xuanrui go to school with her.

She could only seek help from Qin Shaoze.

Qin Shaoze was extremely annoyed at this moment.

Recently, fighting broke out again on the northern border, but it was small-scale and consisted of only some harassment and probing. Therefore, the imperial court only planned to send a small force to suppress it.

Qin Shaoze wants to go back to the battlefield.

He and Liu Manman are now despised by everyone. The best way for him to turn the situation around is to win a few more battles and make some military achievements. At that time, the emperor's impression of him will change, the people will regard him as a hero again, and no one will remember his previous criticisms.

Given his official rank and experience, the emperor would normally have granted his request to lead an expedition.

But he had just learned that Mo Chonggui, the Grand Eunuch of the Directorate of Ceremonial, had persuaded the emperor not to send him to the border, but instead to send another general.

Mo Chonggui's reason was that he was morally corrupt and unfit for important positions. How could someone who could manage his own household, a chaotic home, and a mess of the world, possibly shoulder great responsibilities?

Qin Shaoze was extremely dissatisfied with this.

Among all the officials in the court, who can guarantee that their actions will always be blameless, and whose family has no shameful secrets?

This is about leading an army into battle, not becoming a saint!

Qin Shaoze knew very well that Mo Zhonggui's excuse was just that—an excuse; he was deliberately targeting him!

But when did he offend Mo Zhonggui?
