May this scumbag husband, who favored his concubine over his wife, rest in peace.

With Bai Tong on the left and Aunt Wan on the right, Xie Qianjiao was kept very busy.

"It's not time to relax yet," Wen Yuanshu breathed a sigh of relief.

In the evening, Pei Xi came over for dinner as usual.

Since he arrived, Wen Yuanshu has been treated to good food and drink, but for some reason, the child is still very thin, and has grown taller than before.

It seems that all that nutrition was used to grow taller.

Seeing that Wen Yuanshu's gaze was fixed on him, Pei Xi obediently put down his chopsticks and lowered his head to let her look him over.

"You eat yours," Wen Yuanshu said.

Pei Xi was taken aback, then obediently picked up his bowl and chopsticks again.

"How's your homework going these past few days?" Wen Yuanshu asked.

"Mr. Mo is already teaching his son the 'Shuowen Jiezi' (a dictionary of Chinese characters)."

Wen Yuanshu raised her eyebrows slightly.

Pei Xi hadn't been in school for very long, yet he had already finished studying the introductory books?

Wen Yuanshu concealed her surprise: "I think I won't be able to look at your homework for a while."

"Mother……"

Pei Xi was extremely puzzled.

He had heard from Mr. Mo that he had personally taught Wen Yuanshu the Four Books and Five Classics, so how could he not be able to read a child's homework?

"How about this, I'll talk to your father tomorrow and ask him to take charge of your and your brother's studies?" Wen Yuanshu winked at him.

Pei Xi blinked and said, "Ah...yes, Lord Marquis...no, Father, as a Marquis, you must be well-versed in the Four Books and Five Classics. I will surely benefit more from following...Father."

Although he didn't know why Wen Yuanshu did this, since she had said so, he simply nodded and did as she said.

Wen Yuanshu would never harm him.

Wen Yuanshu smiled and said, "In front of your father, you don't need to hide your talents, you don't need to deliberately show off, and you don't need to care about what others think. Just be yourself."

After thinking for a moment, she added, "If you discover anything unusual, don't show it immediately."

Pei Zeyu is not a thoughtful person, and Pei Xi is intelligent; it's hard to guarantee that he won't see through something.

“Yes, son understands.” Pei Xi nodded obediently.

-

The following afternoon, Wen Yuanshu went to find Pei Zeyu.

"You expect me to look after the two kids' homework?" Pei Zeyu raised an eyebrow.

Wen Yuanshu nodded: "Yes, I had dinner with Xi'er last night. Xi'er said she has already learned how to explain characters, so I suppose Zhicheng's progress is about the same. As a woman, I really have the will but not the ability. I was just thinking that if Your Excellency is free, I wonder if I could invite Your Excellency..."

“We’re husband and wife, why are you talking about inviting them? It’s too formal,” Pei Zeyu raised his hand. “I’m just idling around anyway, so I’ll just have them go to the study in the front yard after school every day.”

Upon hearing this, Wen Yuanshu breathed a sigh of relief, and a smile appeared on her face: "Thank you, Lord Marquis."

She was already very beautiful, and these days she had been taking care of her health, so her blood and energy were in excellent condition. At this moment, she smiled gently, her beauty captivating Pei Zeyu, who felt a surge of emotion in his heart.

“Yuan Shu…” Pei Zeyu reached out and placed his hand on Wen Yuan Shu’s hand, “Although we are husband and wife, we have never consummated our marriage. You see…”

Wen Yuanshu's smile remained unchanged, but she used almost all her willpower to prevent herself from throwing the hand away.

"My lord..." a charming voice, tinged with a hint of jealousy, came from behind, "Is my lord dissatisfied with me? Why are you thinking of other people?"

Bai Tong swayed her hips as she approached, seemingly unaware that Wen Yuanshu was also there, and pressed herself directly against Pei Zeyu: "My Lord..."

Pei Zeyu coughed, withdrew his hand, and instead placed it on Bai Tong's slender and soft waist: "Your jealousy is getting stronger and stronger."

"It's all because of the Marquis's favor," Bai Tong chuckled. "What, does the Marquis now think I'm ungrateful?"

Pei Zeyu glanced at Wen Yuanshu subconsciously, then forced himself to remain calm and said, "Yuanshu, let's do as we just said."

Wen Yuanshu nodded and tactfully stood up: "Then, Lord Marquis, please continue with your business."

No sooner had she left than there was a commotion inside.
