“Ma’am, we’re looking for Master Wen. My surname is Lu, and this is my younger brother. He’s specially here to study,” Shu Yu explained their intentions with a smile.

The woman was silent for a moment before nodding slightly. “Please wait a moment.”

She closed the door again and turned to leave.

Not long after, she came back and opened the door. She turned her body sideways and said, “Come in. Madam is waiting for you inside.”

“Madam? Could it be that Master Wen isn’t around?” Shu Yu thought as she walked inside. As expected, Shu Yu saw a demure woman sitting in the room.

When Madam Liu saw them enter, she immediately came over and smiled. “You must be Sir Lu and Lady Lu, right? Come in and sit first.”

Lu Sanzhu was delighted. Heh, that was the first time he had been addressed as “Sir Lu”.

And the other party was a learned scholars wife. Why did it make him feel so good?

Shu Yu signaled him to restrain himself with her eyes, then sat down at the

Madam Liu was very kind and spoke softly, making people feel very comfortable.

She sized Dahu up. “I heard that you’re here for a student application? Is this young sir?

Dahu hurriedly stepped forward and bowed respectfully.

Madam Liu waved her hand. “There’s no need for such formalities.” As she spoke, she looked at Lu Sanzhu and paused for a moment. Then, she quickly turned her gaze to the person who could make the decision, Shu Yu, and said, “I’m really sorry. My husband is not at home today. I was afraid that you would make a wasted trip, so I invited you in for a cup of tea. Coincidentally, there are some things I can tell you in advance.”

“Thank you for your hospitality, Mrs. Wen. If you have anything to say, please do feel free to say it.”

Madam Liu took a sip of tea, placed her hands in front of her, and said with a smile, “It’s like this. My husband really likes students who are eager to learn and is very happy to accept such students. It’s just that something happened some time ago. I think you should have heard that our Shuxian Academy has suspended classes for the next few days.”

Shu Yu nodded. “Yes, we heard.”

Madam Liu was surprised. ‘Given that’s the case, you still want to come here to study? Aren’t you afraid… my husband will implicate you?”

Shu Yu smiled and said, “Mrs. Wen, Master Wen being free from trouble for now aside, to put it bluntly, even if he was really punished because of his familial relationship with the former county magistrate, it wouldn’t necessarily mean implicating his own students, right?”

After all, there was a relationship distance between the students and the teacher. This was only Jiangyuan County, and the criminal was only a county magistrate who was not close to Xiang Weinan. Otherwise, the acquaintances of the students and even the acquaintances of those acquaintances would be involved, and eventually half of the Jiangyuan County would be implicated.

“Moreover, these students are only children who are not even ten years old and are still being enlightened.”

Madam Liu was stunned. After a long while, she couldn’t help but laugh. She was still a little reserved just now, but now she was completely relaxed.

She shook her head and smiled. “I didn’t expect you to think so clearly.”

Why did the families of those students rush to bring their children back when they heard that their families were related to the county magistrate?

In the end, it was because of their short-sightedness.

When Madam Liu looked at Dahu again, she felt a little more intimate.

“You’re right. No matter what, it won’t implicate a student who has just started. However, have you ever thought that if something really happened to my husband, the students would have to find another school to study in? At that time, regardless of whether they can adapt or not, the other schools might not accept them..”
