Chapter 225: Chapter 224 Hindered
Lady Tang’s question also piqued Mrs. ng’s curiosity, but she had already noticed her daughter’s complexion looking sowhat poor, possibly due to soone upsetting her.
Guessing who would dare upset her daughter was easy— who else could it be?
“Not very good—the teacher’s abilities are diocre, so how good can the students he teaches be?”
ng Zhaojun’s blunt words actually made Lady Tang smile inwardly, yet she dared not criticize her mother-in-law’s relatives in front of others.
A few days ago, she had troubled two teachers, leaving her mother-in-law displeased. Later, her husband scolded her as well, and only then did she realize how highly her mother-in-law regarded these teachers. Though angry, she dared not voice her thoughts; naturally, she would no longer speak ill in front of outsiders!
However, she did not stop outsiders from speaking ill—the worse they spoke, the more pleased she felt inside!
“Jun’er, do not be rude…”
Mrs. ng intervened to stop her daughter from making inappropriate remarks. Speaking carelessly felt good, but offending the Madam could negatively affect both mother and daughter. Speaking behind soone’s back, whatever her daughter said would directly reflect on her upbringing.
Chided by her mother, ng Zhaojun bit her lip, offering no rebuttal. She glanced at her mother, then at Lady Tang, and noticed that Lady Tang seed to actually support her opinion?
Was there sothing she didn’t know about?
Those two teachers and Lady Tang probably had no grudges, right?
Nor had she heard of them being closely related; after all, the Imperial Capital was so vast, perhaps they never knew each other before!
This woman, could it be out of jealousy? Or because she looked down on them as a couple?
The future mother-in-law appeared difficult to deal with, and now was not the ti to offend her. Once she entered that household, conflict was inevitable.
“Alright, alright, it’s lunchti now, let’s eat lunch first. Also, ignore my aggravating son—let’s not bother with him!”
Actually, many tis at noon, Tang Shunyan was not with Lady Tang for als. Out of the three als a day plus supper, he ate three at his mother-in-law’s, which was particularly maddening because her husband ate there too; only her youngest son dined with her.
ng Zhaojun spoke no more, already irritated with Tang Shunyan, she did not want to see him and get angry!
It seed like every ti she saw this young boy, she couldn’t help getting annoyed!
…
Like before, under the teacher’s instruction, Tang Shunyan worked on his lessons and hadn’t made any progress in music yet, though he managed a bit of progress in other subjects with the teacher’s guidance.
ng Zhaojun visited and left, and he did not take it to heart; after all, this young girl often behaved haughtily and should not be indulged.
He wouldn’t let this young girl change his life trajectory; as usual, after class, he went to his grandmother’s for a al.
Previously, he had casually suggested letting ng Zhaojun tutor him, but that was just talk; once finished, he forgot about it!
…
Three days later, Mr. Mo and his wife had breakfast, and according to the plan, they were to go to the Ye family’s for a part-ti job that day. A carriage had been arranged for them along with two guards leading the way.
This was all organized by the housekeeper as per the Madam’s instructions; when the teacher left the house, he needed guards. However, it was just Mr. Mo going to the Ye family; there probably wasn’t anything to worry about!
The couple traveled together, concerned for both their safety, given the relatives involved; it couldn’t be said that the road to the county was entirely safe.
The carriage traveled on the main road heading to the Ye family, which contained elents of danger, with bandits occasionally appearing in the mountainous areas!
Tang Shunyan actually wanted to join his teacher in visiting the Ye family, but was stopped at the door by soone—it was ng Zhaojun from the day before!
It was agreed that I would visit the Ye family with the teacher, and the family had already made arrangents, involving a horde of maids and old won.
Tang Shunyan was entangled by soone, which left him no way to escape due to ng Zhaojun’s Charming Technique.
“Tang Shunyan, didn’t you say you were free to let give you so pointers? Or do you, a big strong man, speak only to break your word on the spot!”
ng Zhaojun’s language was sowhat crude, fueled by her frustration with Tang Shunyan, especially knowing the young boy was supposed to visit the Ye family today. She had her maid find a driver to bring her here early in the morning without having breakfast and did all this secretly without telling her mother.
“ng Zhaojun, I still have things to do. Could you please step aside?”
Tang Shunyan’s small frown deepened, sotis truly at a loss with ng Zhaojun!
Offending her too much wasn’t good either, as instructed by his family, understanding even at his young age that his family must maintain harmony with the ngs.
More often than not, he endured Mistress ng Zhaojun’s temper, not fussing over the small matters, now even his freedom to move was restricted.
“Busy with sothing? Planning to go out? Where to?”
ng Zhaojun, with an angry face and red eyes, found the boy in front of her unappreciative, which solidified her resolve to stop him from going to the Ye household.
“ng Zhaojun, this has nothing to do with you. Please go back first, I’ll find you when I’m free!”
Tang Shunyan still rembered the last ti ng Zhaojun made things difficult for Ru i when he didn’t want to go to the Ye family, this little girl followed!
“Hmph, I’m not so idle, co find when you’re free. But now that I am free, you must accompany , or else I’ll follow you wherever you go!”
ng Zhaojun stood proudly, almost as tall as the young boy, yet a bit shorter.
Tang Shunyan felt both angry and annoyed, but he was unable to deal with the young girl in front of him and could only whisper a few words into the little pageboy’s ear.
“Tang Shunyan, don’t think about sneaking off, do you think I don’t know you’re heading to the Ye family? If you leave, can’t I go by myself?”
Tang Shunyan whispered into the little pageboy’s ear, and ng Zhaojun mistakenly thought Tang Shunyan was trying to sneak away!
Tang Shunyan ignored ng Zhaojun’s loud clamor, finished speaking to the little pageboy, and waved for him to leave.
ng Zhaojun gave a look to Liang Chen, the Maid by her side, to stop the little pageboy.
“ng Zhaojun, what are you doing now?” Tang Shunyan glared angrily, his usually mild deanor hardly containing his stern expression as he looked at her.
“What else can I do? Either way, you and your servant can’t leave my sight.”
ng Zhaojun, far from being angry, smiled smugly. As long as Tang Shunyan didn’t leave her sight today, she didn’t care whether he was angry or not.
Feeling helpless, Tang Shunyan could only wave for the maid to go inform the teacher to proceed to the Ye family without waiting for him.
Qiu Xia, who had been with him nearly a year, understood so of his non-verbal signals.
She went out to inform the two teachers, telling them to visit the Ye family without waiting for the young Master.
The Mo family couple had only planned to visit on their job this ti; if the student Tang Shunyan didn’t accompany them, they didn’t ask for reasons.
The couple embarked on the carriage, the driver started off, and two guards rode alongside.
Tang Shunyan later heard from Qiu Xia, who reported back, that the teacher had already departed. Frustrated, he said to ng Zhaojun, “Are you satisfied now?”
