My family has been wielding knives for generations, but now it's my turn to wield a pen!

"Huh? An article?"

Upon hearing Lin Fengshuo's words, Li Bingzhang's face immediately showed surprise.

Yesterday, after Li Zhiwei returned to the manor, she mentioned Jiang Xiaobai, who had successfully become a disciple of Lin Fengshuo.

He was naturally aware of Lin Fengshuo's rules.

Each disciple is required to write an article each month and submit it for his review.

The problem is... Jiang Xiaobai only became an apprentice last night, and then he rushed to write an article and send it over. In such a hurry, what good thing can he write?

Could it be...?

Was Jiang Xiaobai just eager to show off in front of Lin Fengshuo?

That would be a huge mistake!

Lin Fengshuo has always valued quality. He said it would take a month, but it wouldn't matter if it took half a month longer, as long as the article was good enough.

However, Jiang Xiaobai did a somewhat disappointing job in this regard!

Li Zhiwei, who was standing to the side, was also taken aback.

The next moment, a clear look of doubt flashed in Li Zhiwei's clear eyes, and her brows furrowed slightly.

article?

The teacher came for the article?

This reminded her of Jiang Xiaobai's confident demeanor at the Lin residence yesterday.

So, what exactly did he write?

However, before Li Zhiwei could ask any more questions, the servant who had come out to deliver the message earlier quickly came out of the Marquis's residence once again.

The servant had just reached the door when he looked up and saw Lin Fengshuo; his expression clearly froze for a moment.

Clearly, even he himself hadn't expected that this Mr. Lin would actually come.

However, he only dared to pause for a moment.

The servant quickly realized what was happening and bowed respectfully, saying, "Master Lin, Prime Minister Li, Miss Li!"

"My lord requests your presence!"

"knew!"

Upon hearing this, Li Bingzhang first responded, then took a half step to the side and looked at Lin Fengshuo, saying, "Sir, please go first."

Lin Fengshuo smiled and nodded upon hearing this.

Then, supported by his page, Lin Fengshuo walked into the Marquis's residence.

Li Bingzhang and Li Zhiwei followed closely behind, one in front and one behind.

……

now.

Inside the main hall of the Marquis of Zhenbei's residence.

Jiang Jingcheng sat upright in the main seat, dressed in a very neat general's uniform. His shoulders and back were ramrod straight, and he looked more like a solemn and majestic general than usual.

Shen Yun had already changed into a proper dress and was sitting quietly on the other side.

Although the couple tried their best to maintain a calm expression, their slightly tense demeanor betrayed that they were not at ease inside.

But Jiang Xiaobai is different.

He was sitting at the lower end of the table, looking very relaxed, with a faint smile on his lips the whole time.

Jiang Jingcheng, sitting at the head of the table, had glared at Jiang Xiaobai more than once.

But Jiang Xiaobai acted as if he didn't see it at all, and his smile became more and more natural.

This left Jiang Jingcheng feeling both annoyed and helpless.

It was at this moment that...

A clear voice came from outside.

"Prime Minister Li has arrived!"

"Mr. Lin has arrived!"

As soon as the sound rang out, Jiang Jingcheng and Shen Yun stood up almost simultaneously.

The expressions on their faces clearly showed a moment of shock.

Although they had made some preparations for Li Bingzhang's arrival, Lin Fengshuo... actually came?!

Jiang Jingcheng glanced at Jiang Xiaobai, and his heart couldn't help but tremble.

That brat, he got it all right!

Jiang Xiaobai slowly stood up at that moment.

Soon, several figures were seen slowly entering from outside the door.

Leading the way was Lin Fengshuo.

Li Bingzhang and Li Zhiwei followed behind.

As Lin Fengshuo strode into the hall, Jiang Jingcheng immediately stepped forward, clasped his hands in greeting, and said, "Greetings, Elder Lin!"

Although he was the current Marquis and disliked civil officials, he couldn't help but be somewhat polite to this former Grand Tutor.

Shen Yun, also smiling, said, "The presence of Elder Mr. Lin at our residence is truly an honor!"

Jiang Xiaobai also stepped forward, bowed slightly, and said, "This student greets the teacher!"

However, when the three greeted him, Lin Fengshuo's gaze only fell on Jiang Xiaobai, and then he snorted softly through his nose.

"snort!"

Although the sound wasn't loud, it was extremely clear in the quiet hall.

Immediately afterwards, Lin Fengshuo didn't say anything more and walked straight inside.

This scene made Jiang Jingcheng's heart skip a beat.

Yes.

Although he came from a military family, he had heard that there was an extremely strict rule under Lin Fengshuo's tutelage.

If any disciple of his school is of bad character or goes astray, Lin Fengshuo will personally visit them and expel them from the school!

Lin Fengshuo looks like this right now...

Could it be that they really came here for this reason?

Jiang Jingcheng's heart was in his throat for a moment.

Just as his thoughts were churning, Li Bingzhang and Li Zhiwei stepped in from the doorway.

As soon as Li Bingzhang entered, his eyes met Jiang Jingcheng's.

next moment.

The two of them snorted coldly almost simultaneously.

"snort!"

"snort!"

The voices, one soft and one loud, conveyed the same meaning.

Everyone dislikes everyone else.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the lobby became slightly stiff.

However, at that moment, Shen Yun's gaze suddenly fell on Li Zhiwei.

With just that one glance, Shen Yun's eyes lit up instantly.

That poise, that demeanor, that figure…

It's simply wonderful in every way!

Thinking of this, Shen Yun's smile deepened, and she quickly went to greet him.

"You must be Wei'er?"

That "Wei'er" sounded so natural and affectionate.

Even Li Zhiwei was visibly taken aback for a moment, but she reacted quickly, immediately bowing slightly and saying in a gentle voice, "Wei'er greets Madam."

After speaking, Li Zhiwei raised her head again, looked at Jiang Jingcheng, and bowed slightly once more, saying, "Greetings, Lord Marquis."

Seeing this, Jiang Jingcheng's previously stern face softened slightly, and he nodded, saying, "Miss Li, there's no need for such formalities."

Shen Yun stood to the side, looking at Li Zhiwei with increasing satisfaction.

This girl, in particular, not only has an exceptional temperament, but her demeanor is also so dignified and polite.

In an instant, Shen Yun's affection was practically written all over her face.

Jiang Xiaobai stood aside, taking in the whole scene, and couldn't help but smile.

"Let's all sit down and talk!"

At this moment, Jiang Jingcheng spoke up. Although he was extremely unhappy with Li Bingzhang, he still had to be polite as the host.

After the flowers fell, the group sat down one after another, but... the atmosphere was noticeably quiet at that moment.

Yes, you can see that Lin Fengshuo's expression wasn't very good.

Li Bingzhang was still thinking about how to speak, but noticing Lin Fengshuo's appearance, he dared not speak rashly.

As for Li Zhiwei, at this moment, her eyes secretly glanced in Jiang Xiaobai's direction, still full of curiosity.

I'm curious what kind of article Jiang Xiaobai wrote that could make Elder Lin personally visit him.

Moreover, he looked angry.

Jiang Xiaobai sat there, looking the most relaxed, with a hint of a smile in his eyes.

After all, he knew in his heart why Lin Fengshuo was angry.

After a moment, Lin Fengshuo slowly spoke, his gaze sweeping over Jiang Xiaobai before finally settling on Jiang Jingcheng.

"Marquis Jiangping, you have indeed raised a fine son..."
