Ok?

Xi'er didn't believe it before, so why does she believe it now?

Shang Qing turned her head and looked at Gu Huai. Gu Huai took a deep breath and raised her hand to pat Xi'er's head.

“Xi’er has grown up and understands everything.”

Hearing this, Shang Qing nodded and said, "Yes, my Xi'er has grown up!"

After saying that, he picked up Xi'er.

The whole courtyard was filled with a relaxed atmosphere and the laughter of several children.

Seeing this scene, Luo Bin felt a sharp pain in his heart.

If that incident hadn't happened, the Luo family would be in the same situation now. But there will never be a future.

The Luo family is gone...

Shang Qing turned to look at Luo Bin, as if he had discovered something, put Xi'er down, and then gave Xi'er a push.

Xi'er understood, walked over to Luo Bin and stopped, raised her hand and tugged at Luo Bin's clothes, and asked, "Uncle Luo, what's wrong?"

Hearing Xi'er's voice, Luo Bin finally reacted, looked down at Xi'er, shook his head at her appearance, and said with a smile, "Nothing, I just think Xi'er is very cute."

"Really? I think Uncle Luo is cute too!"

Everyone laughed when they heard Xi'er's words, leaving Xi'er alone, looking at them with confusion.

After a while, Shang Qing stopped dawdling, turned to Gu Hui, and asked, "Brother, have you forgotten what I said about the schoolteacher?"

Gu Huai shook his head, looking at Shang Qing with some confusion.

He did mention it before, but if they were too hasty in finding a tutor, things might go wrong. He also said that he could educate a few children first, so Shang Qing wouldn't have to rush things.

What does Shang Qing mean by saying this now? Could it be that he has already found it?

Sure enough, Shang Qing nodded, then turned to look at Luo Bin and asked, "What do you think of this schoolteacher?"

Gu Hui turned to look at Luo Bin, her face showing some surprise.

After all, he hadn't expected that the teacher Shang Qing mentioned was Luo Bin, nor had he expected Luo Bin to agree.

Their eyes met, and Luo Bin grinned, looking at Gu Hui with amusement.

"What, am I an unqualified teacher or something?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Hui immediately shook his head and said, "No, that's not what I meant."

Having known Luo Bin for so long, he naturally knew about Luo Bin's situation. While he couldn't be said to have lived a life of luxury since childhood, his family was indeed well-off.

Teaching several children is no problem at all.

Gu Hui immediately replied, "No, what I meant was that I didn't expect you to agree."

He knew Luo Bin; he had his own dreams and ambitions. Wouldn't it be a waste of his talents to be here?

Shang Qing looked at Gu Huai with amusement and said, "Big brother, he can study with you. Maybe you two can both pass the exam?"

One would be the emperor's son-in-law, and the other the second-place scholar or the first-place scholar; wouldn't that be better?

Upon hearing this, Gu Hui remained silent for a moment, then turned to look at the children.

After all, this is about finding a tutor for a few children, so it depends on the children's wishes.

It's not enough for him to like it.

Pan'er didn't hesitate and nodded in agreement.

“Pan’er likes Uncle Luo, and it would be best if Uncle Luo were willing.”

Nian'er nodded in agreement, and Xi'er simply hugged Luo Bin to express her own feelings.

Seeing this scene and looking at these children, Luo Bin readily agreed and stayed.

That evening, Luo Bin went to the county magistrate's residence to retrieve his belongings, and the magistrate, upon learning of this, did not say anything.

After all, these were all Luo Bin's own choices.

He'd be overjoyed to have one less freeloader; how could he possibly refuse?

The next day, as soon as Shang Qing came out, he saw three children sitting outside, and Gu Huai and Luo Bin were discussing something.

Seeing this scene, Shang Qing didn't disturb them and turned around to go back to her room.

They didn't stop until noon, and only then did Shang Qing dare to come out.

She looked at Luo Bin, nodded, and said with a smile, "Not bad, that's good."

Luo Bin hummed in agreement and turned to look at Gu Hui.

"However, I also want to thank you this time. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have met Brother Gu, and I only realized after you told me that Brother Gu and I have so many interests."

"Brother Gu has helped me a lot today, and I feel that the position of top scholar is not far away from you!"

Hearing this, Gu Hui laughed even more happily.

A knock sounded on the door, and the courtyard immediately fell silent.

Perhaps they were traumatized, because several people turned to look at the door, but none of them went to open it.

Seeing this, Shang Qing paused for a moment, then walked towards the door and stopped.

She opened the door, and to her surprise, it was none other than Chen Linlang.

Chen Linlang placed her hand on Shang Qing's arm, and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that Shang Qing was alright.

"I know about Wang Mingli's matter. I'm glad you're all alright. If anything had happened to you, I truly couldn't forgive myself."

Has Wang Mingli's case been settled so quickly?

Before a case is finalized, the government will not disclose the prisoner's information.

But that’s fine.

At least we're one less person like Wang Mingli.

Shang Qing shook her head and said with a smile, "Alright, alright, I haven't even taken this to heart. What are you talking about?"

After saying that, he pulled his arm out, placed his hand on Chen Linlang's arm, and dragged her inside.

Upon seeing Chen Linlang, Luo Bin froze on the spot.

Not only Luo Bin, but Chen Linlang is too.

Seeing that he couldn't pull it, Shang Qing turned around and looked behind him, only to see Chen Linlang staring at Luo Bin in disbelief, not knowing what he meant.

But do they know each other?

Shang Qing glanced at Chen Linlang, then at Luo Bin.

Upon meeting Shang Qing's gaze, Luo Bin immediately lowered his head, looking somewhat embarrassed.

After a while, he turned to look at Gu Hui and said, "Brother Gu, there are still some things I don't understand. Could you explain them to me?"

Gu Hui didn't notice anything and simply nodded in agreement.

"Okay, but it's almost noon now, let's talk about it after we eat."

"Besides, we should treat our guests well when they come to visit, shouldn't we?"

Upon hearing this, Luo Bin didn't say anything more and just stood there.

However, he never raised his head again.

When the children spoke to Luo Bin, he only gave them half-hearted replies.

An awkward atmosphere permeated the entire courtyard.

Shang Qing took a deep breath, a hint of helplessness on his face.

To be honest, it's their business, and she doesn't want to meddle.

Anyway, it has nothing to do with her.

Shang Qing turned to Gu Huai and said, "Brother, please sit down first. We'll go back to our rooms."
