That's roughly what happened during this period.

Beitang Xinyue used her best eloquence to tell Jiang Peier about most of the things she had missed, and then felt very satisfied with her astonished expression.

Jiang Peier listened to Beitang Xinyue finish speaking without interrupting, her delicate mouth slightly open and her eyes wide open, showing her surprise.

"Is your new sister-in-law really that amazing?"

Beitang Xinyue smiled demurely and nodded.

"That's right. I'm still studying medicine with my sister-in-law. After your birthday tomorrow, I have to rush back to class early in the morning."

Jiang Peier's face showed a hint of envy.

"It seems you really like him. I haven't been to the girls' school lately. I've been staying at home all day, except for occasionally learning embroidery with my mother and managing household affairs. If it weren't for Yunduo, I would only be able to talk to Tingyu. I'm so bored. I didn't expect you to be living such a fulfilling life."

As she spoke, Jiang Peier hugged Yun Duo close and kissed her, showing her great affection.

"Although our two families live quite far apart, it won't be a problem for you to take a carriage. I have classes and don't have time, but you can come visit me more often. I'll take you to my sister-in-law's for a meal. Sister Du Ruo is an amazing cook. My sister-in-law is not only beautiful, but her cooking is also incredibly delicious, though she doesn't cook often..."

Beitang Xinyue muttered to herself, her hands starting to wander, and she tried to snatch Yunduo away when Jiang Peier wasn't paying attention.

Jiang Peier was caught off guard and her hand was empty. When she realized what was happening, she tried to take it back but didn't dare to use too much force. Beitang Xinyue nimbly turned around and dodged her. The two almost started playing around in the street. Fortunately, there were two maids who knew their young lady (the princess) very well who stopped them and reminded them of the important matter of shopping.

"Oh! I almost forgot, my mother asked me to bring back some pastries from Ruyi Zhai. Let's hurry, or they'll be sold out!"

Seeing Jiang Peier run off in the blink of an eye, Beitang Xinyue was stunned for a moment, then raised the cloud in her hand, and the two stared at each other with wide eyes.

Seeing that Tingyu had already followed, Yunying felt helpless.

"Princess, Miss Pei'er is getting far ahead, we can't keep up."

Yun Ying was a little anxious, while Bei Tang Xin Yue didn't seem to care. However, she still walked slowly, but her attention was mostly on Yun Duo.

"Don't panic, she's going to Ruyi Zhai, we know the way."

……

After listening to Beitang Xinyue's rant about what happened that day, Qin Suiyou put down the pen he was using to grade homework.

"The eldest daughter of the Duke of Wei's family is a noble lady, and the people who follow her must also be of high status. But if it really comes down to it, we're not afraid. Tell me, how do you want to retaliate?"

"what?"

After a moment of confusion, Beitang Xinyue realized that she had been talking for so long, and it seemed like she was here to complain. However, although what happened that day was quite unpleasant, it didn't cause any real harm, and she wasn't expecting anyone to stand up for her.

"Sister-in-law, I didn't mean to do anything, I just felt uncomfortable and wanted to vent..."

Before she could finish speaking, Beitang Yan, who hadn't heard the whole thing, asked, "Who bullied you!"

Beitang Yan frowned, his expression somewhat unpleasant, showing a strong inclination to help Beitang Xinyue get revenge.

Seeing her brother like this, Beitang Xinyue was deeply moved. She hadn't expected that even with amnesia, her brother would still think of protecting her. It was all worth the worry...

"You get bullied just for going out for a walk? Are you worse off than them?"

Beitang Xinyue: "...I was just too lazy to waste my breath."

Beitang Yan glanced at Beitang Xinyue with slight disdain.

"You still have so many excuses. Why don't you go find Du Ruo and learn some martial arts to protect yourself? Otherwise, what if you get beaten up one day when you don't need them?"

"Brother, that's not fair! But does Sister Du Ruo know martial arts? I want to learn!"

Watching the siblings talk, Qin Suiyou took the corrected homework, which was the human body meridian diagram that Beitang Xinyue and Lanya had worked together to complete, and handed it to Lanya, who was reviewing what he had just taught.

“You guys did a great job. There are only two places I marked that need to be changed. I’ve been busy these past few days and I haven’t seen you ask Lu Yu about it. You’ve done a very good job. You’re really impressive.”

Upon hearing that they were reviewing homework, Beitang Xinyue quickly snapped back to reality. When Qin Suiyou said that they hadn't asked Lu Yu, she said, "Lu Yu seems...too aloof, I don't dare to approach him."

I first heard the word "aloof" from Du Heng, who used it to describe Shuo Han. Lan Ya nodded in agreement.

"We've been in the same courtyard for so long, but I've never actually spoken to Lu Yu. However, we asked Mr. Li, and we didn't expect that he had never seen the kind of diagram you gave us before. He even studied it quite thoroughly."

Beitang Xinyue added, "If it weren't for the fact that this was homework assigned to us by my sister-in-law, Mr. Li would have wanted to take this drawing."

Upon hearing this, Qin Suiyou smiled.

"Don't worry about him. He's actually one of my students. Lu Yu may seem unapproachable, but he has a good temper. When I don't have time, you can ask him for advice. You won't go wrong."

Beitang Xinyue and Lanya still hesitated, then said in unison, "But..."

Seeing the troubled expressions on the two girls' faces, Qin Suiyou thought for a moment and said, "He and Lu Xi are brothers. You know Lu Xi's personality. Actually, both of them have very strong personalities, but Lu Yu is just hiding it. You really don't need to be afraid of him."

Upon hearing this, the two girls couldn't help but mentally apply Lu Xi's usual style of doing things to Lu Yu, a hypothesis that made both Beitang Xinyue and Lan Ya shake their heads.

It wasn't that they didn't believe Qin Suiyou; it was just that although Lu Yu and Lu Xi were both exceptionally good-looking, and due to their innate racial advantages, they both had beautiful eyes that were a size larger than ordinary people, the two brothers were very different in both appearance and temperament. It was really unimaginable that Lu Yu, with his more indifferent and holy face, would mess with Lu Xi's unconventional style.

"Alright, I won't make things difficult for you two anymore. Getting along with people takes time and a gradual process of adjustment and familiarity. Just remember not to be so afraid of Lu Yu."

Hearing Qin Suiyou say this, the two breathed a sigh of relief.

After explaining a few points about the network diagram, Qin Suiyou assigned the two students their next assignment and then let them do their own things.

Beitang Xinyue, thinking that she would be going to the girls' school tomorrow, decided to take advantage of the remaining time. After lunch, she didn't go back home but asked Qin Suiyou about her martial arts training with Du Ruo.

She really didn't expect that Du Ruo, who looked so delicate and frail, would know martial arts, but she trusted her brother's words, and Qin Suiyou didn't refute anything, which made her even more interested.

Lanya, who was standing to the side, was also very interested, but she was still hesitant to bring it up.

However, when Qin Suiyou heard Beitang Yan mention this, he said, "Actually, if the girls in our Wutong Courtyard want to, they can all learn some martial arts to help themselves. It's always good to have more skills."

This meant they could all learn together, which excited Beitang Xinyue for a while.

However, before she could be happy for long, someone came to tell her that Miss Pei'er had come to see her, and she looked unwell, as if something bad had happened.
