Regent, please maintain your aloof image.

Seeing this, Su Mingxuan jokingly said, "How come you look so unfamiliar after not seeing each other for half a year? Anyone who didn't know better would think you were meeting for the first time."

Su Qianrou and Gu Mingxuan merely glanced at each other without responding.

Su Mingxuan couldn't help but say, "By the way, Mingxuan, didn't you say you had something to give Rou'er?"

Gu Mingxuan took out a small box and handed it to Su Qianrou, saying, "This is what Miss Xu asked me to bring to you."

"What's this".

"It's a bracelet that she specially commissioned. She said she was afraid that you would forget her over time, so she gave you this bracelet so that you would remember her when you see it."

Su Qianrou joked, "She's trying to tie me down with a bracelet." As she spoke, she opened the box, and a wisteria bracelet came into view. Su Qianrou liked it at first sight, picked it up, and asked Chunzhu to put it on for her.

"Miss Xu would be very happy if she knew that the princess liked it so much."

"I like anything she gives me, no matter what it is."

"The friendship between the princess and Miss Xu is truly enviable."

"Isn't Young Master Gu the same as my elder brother?"

Gu Mingxuan glanced at Su Mingxuan, then smiled and said, "What the princess says is true."

Then, Li Peiyi took out a stack of letters and placed them in front of Su Qianrou.

Su Qianrou looked at him, puzzled.

"These are letters that Sister Qilian and the others wrote to you, as well as one from Granny Chen."

Su Qianrou took it and asked, "Are they alright?"

“It’s all good. Now, Mingqian and the others have moved to the orphanage, where Granny Chen is taking care of them. The academy is also finished and will start in a month. As for Sister Qilian and the others, although they are very busy every day, they are living a fulfilling and happy life.”

That's good.

Su Mingxuan could understand her intention in opening an orphanage, but he couldn't understand why she would open an academy, so he asked, "Why did you suddenly think of opening a private school?"

“My academy is very different from private schools. Most people who enter private schools do so to take the imperial examinations, while my academy focuses more on children from poor families. The purpose is to enable them to learn to read and write, and at the same time, to learn a skill so that they can have more options in the future.”

“This is a righteous act,” Gu Mingxuan said.

"If you need anything, just say the word. Whether it's me or Dad, we will do our best to support you."

"Me too. If there is anything I can do to help you, Princess, please don't hesitate to ask."

“Me too,” Li Peiyi chimed in.

"To be honest, there is something I need your help with, elder brother and young master Gu."

"What is it?" Su Mingxuan asked.

"I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you and Young Master Gu to help me find a teacher. After all, it would be quite inconvenient for me to do it myself."

"That's not a problem. It's the time of the imperial examinations, and students from all over the country are gathering here, so it's not hard to find."

"Then I'll leave this matter to you, elder brother and young master Gu."

"it is good".

"You're too kind, Princess."

"And me?" Li Peiyi asked.

"What are you?"

"I can help too."

"You're still young, let's talk about it later."

"I'm not young anymore, I'm already fourteen."

"You're definitely not young anymore; you should get married in two more years."

"No, big brother, why have you become like Mother, arranging marriages for everyone you meet?"

"You little brat, you have no manners," Su Mingxuan gently tapped her forehead.

"Ouch, that hurts," Su Qianrou said, feigning grievance.

"Keep pretending. Do you think I don't know how much force I used?"

“I used to be so reluctant to even scold him, let alone lay a hand on him, but now… sigh, sure enough, he forgot about his sister after getting married.”

She amused them, and they left shortly afterward.

Soon, the day of the imperial examination arrived. Su Qianrou, unusually, got up early and then went to the examination hall with Su Mingxuan and Gu Mingxuan.

At this time, the entrance to the examination hall was bustling with people.

"Brother, just stay calm and don't be nervous. Treat it like a regular test. I believe in you, you can do it." After saying that, she looked at Gu Mingxuan and added, "Young Master Gu too."

"Okay," Gu Mingxuan replied.

Su Mingxuan said, "I'll be away from home these next few days, so please take good care of Shiyu for me. Spend more time with her when you have time. Also, she's been overthinking things lately, so please try to talk her out of it."

"it is good".

"Don't worry, big brother, we'll definitely take good care of your sister-in-law," Su Haoyu said.

"You should just forget about it."

"Big brother, who do you think you are?" Su Haoyu immediately bristled.

Su Mingxuan remained silent.

"Alright, it's getting late, we should go in. Brother, Young Master Gu, I wish you both success in your exams and a bright future."

"thanks".

"Then we will come to pick you up in three days."

"it is good".

Then, Su Mingxuan and Gu Mingxuan walked in.

Once they were out of sight, Su Qianrou said, "Alright, let's go back too," and then walked away.

Su Haoyu and Li Peiyi obediently followed behind her.

Inside the carriage, Su Qianrou looked at Li Peiyi and asked, "Tell me, why did you insist on coming to the capital?"

Something's up.

Su Qianrou didn't ask what happened, she just asked, "Good news or bad news?"

Zhu Peiyi remained silent.

Su Qianrou then asked, "Is it related to our Su family?"

"no".

"This matter could be dangerous."

"Have".

"Very important".

"Ok".

"Think thrice before you act, don't act impulsively, life is the most important thing."

"it is good".

Su Qianrou did not ask any further questions.

Suddenly, Su Haoyu pulled Su Qianrou to his side.

At the same time, Ang Lee also called out, "Miss, be careful."

Before Su Qianrou could react, a sword appeared in the carriage, pointing directly at the spot where she had just been sitting.

Li Peiyi reacted quickly, immediately picking up his sword and walking out.

Su Haoyu asked, "Sister, are you alright?"

"fine".

"That's good. You stay in the carriage for now and go out when it's safe," he said, picking up his sword and walking out.

Chunzhu asked anxiously from outside the carriage, "Miss, are you alright?"

"I'm fine. What's the situation outside?"

"Two assassins appeared out of nowhere, but don't worry, Miss, they are no match for the Second Young Master and Young Master Li."

In a short while, the two assassins were defeated and subdued on the ground, but before Su Haoyu could ask them anything, they bit into poison and committed suicide.

Helpless, Su Haoyu could only call out, "Sister, you can come out now."

Then, Su Qianrou stepped out of the carriage, glanced at the assassin on the ground, and walked to Su Haoyu's side, asking, "Are you injured?"

"no".

Su Qianrou then looked at Li Peiyi.

Li Peiyi shook his head, indicating that he was not injured either.

Su Qianrou was relieved.

"Sister, how do we deal with these two assassins?"

Ang Lee.

Upon hearing this, Li An quickly walked over, "Miss."

"Go to the Ministry of Justice and tell them that I, the princess, have been assassinated, and ask them to come and investigate."

“Yes,” Ang Lee replied, then quickly left.

Su Haoyu asked worriedly, "Sis, have you offended someone?"

Li Peiyi also looked at her.

Su Qianrou remained silent, because she didn't know who had done it.
