Chapter 566: Work Hard

Lady Mu said awkwardly, “… These two kids are Yao Hao and Yao Ying from the Yao family. They’re taking the exam for Imperial College this year and came to me for help. That’s why I brought them here to you…”

Grand Secretary Fang knew perfectly well that this was a very lucrative favor for the Mu family. With what the Yao family had given them, if he didn’t give something substantial in return, the Yao family wouldn’t leave the matter at that. By then, he himself would be criticized.

The old man was anything but foolish. There was no way he would get himself into that.

Grand Secretary Fang was a proud old man who wouldn’t hesitate to turn people away if he didn’t like them. Hence, putting his hands behind his back, he raised his chin, then waved his hand. “I don’t teach. Please leave.”

After that, he turned around and strolled off.

Steward Fang and the old steward mocked inwardly: “Weren’t you so enthusiastic about teaching Miss Feng Wu just then? Just admit it: you don’t like these people!”

Mu Yaoyao and Lady Mu had yet to recover from the first round of humiliation, and were humiliated once again.

“Father… I mean, Uncle…” Lady Mu could feel the strange looks the Yao siblings were giving her. She tried to follow Grand Secretary Fang inside to talk to him.

But Grand Secretary Fang only waved her off. “Take all your things with you. Fang Yuan!”

“Yes —”

Steward Fang went to him in a hurry.

“Starting from today, I’m not receiving any guests. Close the front gate and don’t let anyone in.” After leaving the instruction, Grand Secretary Fang went back inside.

Once Feng Wu and Chaoge were back at the Feng manor —

Feng Wu started reading right away.

Chaoge started reading with her, but she was precisely the Straight D student she was said to be. Before long, she started yawning until tears ran down her cheeks. She began to doze off…

Her head nodded and nodded, then thump! Her forehead hit the table.

Feng Wu didn’t say anything.

Feng Wu and Chaoge had taken 30 books each from the Fang manor.

Chaoge fell asleep before she finished the first page, but Feng Wu just kept on reading. Every time she finished a book, she would close her eyes and go through it in her head.

After making sure she had memorized it all, she started on the second book.

And the third one…

The fourth…

While Feng Wu was studying, the rest of her family were busy with their own things as well. Feng Xiaoqi, Uncle Qiu, and Qiuling were all cultivating.

The beautiful lady was making a pretty dress for Feng Wu, her movements graceful, while Granny Zhao cooked for the entire family.

It was so relaxing and heartwarming.

Night set in.

The beautiful lady had long gone to bed to get her beauty sleep, but Feng Wu had just finished her thirtieth book.

She rubbed her forehead.

It had been a while since she last used her brain this much and she felt drained.

Rising to her feet, Feng Wu went out into the yard and walked around in circles. Looking up at the bright moon, she tried to soothe her aching head a little.

Just then, she heard a faint sound from a nearby room.

Wait —

It was from Qiuling’s room.

A moment later, Qiuling rushed out, took Feng Wu’s hand in excitement, and burst into tears.

“You’ve made a breakthrough?”

“Yes!” Qiuling cried and laughed at the same time. “Yes, I have. Sob. After so many years, I’ve finally made another breakthrough!”

Feng Wu smiled. “And you’re only just getting started. You’ll get better and better; this family is counting on you.”

“I won’t let you down, Miss!” Qiuling felt a strong sense of duty now.
