The clingy concubine ran away, and the sickly prince lost control.

"Aunt Liu, is this how you teach them?"

Pei Shiyuan was shocked. In broad daylight, Luo Qingyan was spinning around and throwing off her clothes one by one. It was so embarrassing.

"stop."

"Hmm, my head is spinning." Luo Qingyan deliberately rubbed her forehead with her delicate fingers and slumped into Pei Shiyuan's arms. "Your Highness, I'm not feeling well. Could you please treat me?"

"Only you can cure it."

Her little hand reached out to tug at Pei Shiyuan's belt.

"Get out of my way." Pei Shiyuan's hands broke out in goosebumps as he shoved Luo Qingyan away.

This is all I can think about.

"Master." As soon as Yuan Qing entered, he saw Luo Qingyan kneeling with her buttocks sticking out, facing Pei Shiyuan.

Is this a sight fit for human eyes? Yuan Qing immediately covered her eyes and turned away.

Luo Qingyan jumped up.

"Master, Consort Luo, Young Master Luo, Luo Chengyong has arrived."

Yuan Qing came in again to report.

"I won't see him. Let him go." Luo Qingyan refused outright.

"Have him wait in the front hall." Pei Shiyuan told Luo Qingyan to go. "Go. If you don't, I'll tell everyone you're heartless. Come back and tell me what happened."

Luo Qingyan nodded, her eyes filled with guilt. Having such family members would also be a burden on people who knew her.

Walk through the exquisitely painted corridor and arrive at the front hall.

Luo Chengyong was sitting and drinking tea when he saw Luo Qingyan walking gracefully towards him. A look of resentment flashed in his eyes. Now his second sister was really living a good life. Everything she wore and lived in was a hundred times better than what he had in the Luo family.

This tea is also of excellent quality and tastes delicious.

Luo Chengyong picked up his teacup and examined it closely. He figured the only time he could live such a good life was when he passed the imperial examination.

That's also the reason he came today.

The eldest sister is seriously ill and can't help him anymore. But the second sister has to help him.

Luo Qingyan has entered the Duke's mansion; with such good connections, we must make good use of them.

"Second Sister." Luo Chengyong suppressed the resentment in his eyes, smiled, and stood up to greet her affectionately.

"Sit down!" Luo Qingyan saw Luo Chengyong sitting like a winnowing basket from afar, acting like a big shot.

A look of joy flashed in Luo Chengyong's eyes, but he sat back down. After all, they were family, and even if they had disagreements in the past, they still cared about each other.

Luo Qingyan noticed that Luo Chengyong's back was straight and he looked very confident. Was there some good news?

"Little brother, would you like to come to the Duke's mansion to play?"

Don't mention anything to her, not a chance.

A fierce glint flashed in Luo Qingyan's eyes.

"Second sister, I don't have time to play." Luo Chengyong took out a neatly folded piece of paper from his sleeve. "Didn't you say you wanted me to write an article last time? Here it is, take a look."

Luo Chengyong confidently opened the paper and stood in front of Luo Qingyan.

Luo Qingyan staggered backward, not taking the food, but glancing at it from afar before looking away.

"Hehe." Luo Chengyong laughed: "Second sister, I know you don't understand, it doesn't matter. Help me take it to the heir apparent and hand it to the teacher at the Imperial Academy. He'll definitely be favored."

"Why don't you just take it to the Imperial Academy?" Luo Qingyan couldn't understand the mystery of the article, but she thought the handwriting was good, upright and elegant, but the only flaw was that it was a little childish.

She glanced at the mature-looking Luo Chengyong again. Was this written by him? Such a grown man, yet his handwriting was so childish.

Luo Chengyong never wrote anything after returning to the mansion, and Luo Qingyan had never seen his handwriting.

She had no desire to get involved in the Luo family's affairs, so she declined and went directly to the Imperial Academy. If it was truly a good article, it would surely catch the teacher's eye.

"Sigh! Second sister, no wonder eldest sister said you don't understand human relationships. If I go directly to the Imperial Academy, I won't know anyone. If I hand over my essay, it might just be tossed around somewhere. Nobody will pay attention to it." Luo Chengyong sighed. Second sister doesn't understand human relationships at all. He really doesn't know what Prince Pei likes about her. She doesn't have even a fraction of the cleverness of eldest sister.

If his older sister hadn't been sick, she would definitely have been able to help him find a solution, and he wouldn't have had to lower himself to beg Luo Qingyan.

"Good wine needs no bush. If you are truly talented and write excellent articles, the Master will surely see them," Luo Qingyan said with a smile, intending to say something high-sounding to get rid of Luo Chengyong.

"Second sister, I'm your own brother! Aren't you going to help me?" Luo Chengyong's eyes were filled with anger. No wonder his mother and sister didn't like her. She was so dense. Talking to her was like talking to a brick wall.

Luo Qingyan smiled more deeply and said slowly, "Little brother, if word gets out that you're relying on the prince's connections, it will only bury your talent. People will think you only got into the Imperial Academy because of the prince and don't have any real skills. But if you go to the gate of the Imperial Academy to study and ask questions without fail, rain or shine, that will inspire awe."

"You, Second Sister, I can't reason with you."

Luo Chengyong flicked his sleeve and turned his face away.

"Let me take a look at the article."

Pei Shiyuan's cold voice rang out as he rolled in his wheelchair.

Luo Qingyan didn't reply for a long time; she was probably being bothered again.

He wanted to see what Luo Chengyong was up to.

Luo Chengyong was surprised that Pei Shiyuan would see him. He immediately turned around, bowed, and presented the paper with both hands, his face full of smiles: "Your Highness, please take a look."

Pei Shiyuan took the paper, glanced at it, and his eyes, which had been lowered in impatience, suddenly looked up in surprise: "I'll keep the article for now, go back!"

Luo Qingyan stared wide-eyed in disbelief. Pei Shiyuan could actually appreciate Luo Chengyong's writing?

She remembered clearly that in her previous life, Luo Chengyong did not do well in his studies at Hongru Academy and, as expected, failed the exam.

"Thank you, Your Highness." Luo Chengyong bowed and glanced at Luo Qingyan as he turned to leave.

That meant Luo Qingyan didn't understand, and she was still stopping him from giving the article to the prince because she couldn't stand to see him doing well and was holding a grudge against the past conflicts between the brothers and sisters.

But what sisters don't bicker? Luo Qingyan is just petty, calling her "Second Sister" for nothing.

He looked down on Luo Qingyan from the bottom of his heart; she was not worthy of being his second sister.

Every time I call her "Second Sister," it feels like I'm doing it against my will; I have to think it through before I can say it.

It was Prince Pei who had the discerning eye to recognize talent.

Seeing Luo Chengyong walk away, Luo Qingyan immediately approached Pei Shiyuan and asked, "Your Highness, is this article really well-written?"

"Hmm." Pei Shiyuan nodded, but a cold wind swept across his face, making him look gloomy.

Seeing Pei Shiyuan's displeasure, Luo Qingyan said awkwardly, "Your Highness, why did you come over? Now I have no choice but to help. Just let me waste a little more time with him, and he'll definitely leave in a huff."

"Furthermore, as far as I know, Luo Chengyong's academic performance at Hongru Academy was very poor; it's impossible for him to write good articles, is it?"

Luo Qingyan suspected that Pei Shiyuan was fooling her. Could it be that he was just trying to repay a favor because she had found a miracle doctor to save his life?

"Your Highness, you don't need to help the Luo family for my sake. They are heartless and ungrateful, they won't remember your kindness. I don't want you to help them. Besides, Luo Chengyong is not cut out for studying, I'll return the essay to him right now."

She didn't believe it was any good article.

Luo Qingyan reached for the article in Pei Shiyuan's hand, but Pei Shiyuan raised his hand and bypassed it.

"I didn't do this for you."

"Yuanqing, go to the Imperial Academy and call Xiaoxingzi here."

"Sir, classes are in session at the Imperial Academy right now, isn't that inappropriate?"

Yuan Qingdao.

"Hmm?" Pei Shiyuan glanced at him.

Yuan Qing disappeared in a flash: "I'll go right away."
