Chapter 283 An unexpected encounter with the Ren siblings on the street
"Mr. Ren, get ready. Dean, please watch your step."
Supervisor Chen returned, accompanied by the academy's dean. He was surprised to find the dean so plump and erudite, with a large belly and head that suggested an astonishing brain capacity.
Ren Zuan put down his book. "The dean is here. And what's this, Supervisor Chen?"
Supervisor Chen smiled awkwardly, "Mr. Ren, let me help you organize this." After saying that, he moved closer to Ren Zu'an and began to help organize the books.
The chubby dean put on a kind and approachable smile and said to Wen Qilin, "Master Hao, I heard you are looking for a tutor. Which young master are you looking for? I can recommend a tutor to you. This way, please."
The Wen family members exchanged glances without making a sound.
Wow, the sun has risen in the west! The Hao family's reputation in Medicine King Valley is truly effective!
The commotion from retrieving people from the cesspool was quite loud, how did they find their way here so quickly?
Sure enough, the academy has quite a few eyes and ears; there are ears everywhere behind the walls!
The dean is so blatantly trying to poach my grandfather's man; I wonder if his audacity is proportional to his size and intelligence.
Now that he's taken on the Hao family's name, he might as well put on airs and act the part. Wen Qilin, relaxed and composed, glanced sideways at the dean and asked, "So, who are you recommending?"
"...Master Hao, who do you admire?"
"Ha, does that mean I can just go to whoever I like? Isn't that absurd?" Wen Qilin said unhappily.
Seeing the dean's discomfiture and thinking of the grievances her maternal grandfather had suffered, Wenwen wanted to add fuel to the fire. She suddenly went over and grabbed Wen Qilin's sleeve, saying, "Father, I want to find the Imperial Tutor to teach me. I'm going to lead Medicine King Valley in the future, and not just anyone can teach me."
After saying this, Wenwen quickly apologized to her master in her heart. She had only spoken in the heat of the moment and did not mean it that way. She hoped that her master could forgive her after hearing this rumor and wished her master peace.
At the same time, two soft coughs were heard in the room.
Cough, cough!
Wen Qilin and his son Wen Chengjian were so shocked by Wen Wen's outrageous words that they looked at each other in disbelief.
They hadn't rehearsed this impromptu scene beforehand, and I'm afraid they won't be able to handle it.
Unexpectedly, while his father and brother couldn't catch it, his maternal grandfather did.
Ren Zuan smiled and said, "I can contact the Zhou family head. As for whether it will work out, that's up to you."
The dean was clearly still trying to persuade him. "Master Hao, you see, it's common knowledge that the Zhou family academy is quite difficult to get into. If you can't get in for the time being, the young master's time can't be wasted. Our academy can be your alternative, right? It's always good to have another option, don't you think?"
Wen Qilin gave a perfunctory reply, "...Hmm, what the dean said makes sense."
Unexpectedly, Wenwen skillfully sabotaged his plans, turning to Ren Zuan and asking, "Lord Ren, when can we meet the head of the Zhou family?"
Ren Zuan got into character, considered his words carefully, and said confidently, "If nothing unexpected happens, we should be able to get in touch within two days."
"Wow, really? Then let's hurry into the city."
Ren Zuan looked at the neatly arranged books in front of him and said, "We can go now, Lao Li. Load these into the car and let's go."
"Hehe, let's go!" Wenwen cheered.
The grandfather and grandson performed a hilarious duet, one playing the lead role and the other the straight man, their performance so lifelike that Wen Qilin and Wen Chengjian would have been completely fooled if the parties involved hadn't known what was going on.
The chubby dean, having failed to poach a client, left the courtyard in a fit of rage.
Finally, Supervisor Chen watched the two carriages drive away from the academy gate.
Half an hour later, the carriage arrived at the city gate.
After being away from the capital for more than two years, the three members of the Wen family were filled with mixed emotions as they looked at the city gate, which was both strange and familiar. They remembered how miserable and wretched they had been when they left. Now they were back, albeit under someone else's name. But they knew that one day they would be able to return openly and proudly. That day would not be far off.
The carriage quickly passed through the city gate. The city was bustling with activity, and the streets were full of people. The carriage continued forward along the street.
......
A jewelry shop in the capital city.
The shop was quite busy with customers, and several shop assistants were greeting them at the counter.
Three siblings stood in front of one of the earring counters.
The tall woman pointed to a pair of earrings and said, "Waiter, bring out these earrings for us to see."
The waiter had just taken out the earrings as requested by the customers when a girl in a red floral dress next to the siblings took them from the waiter's hand. "I'll take these. Wrap them up for me."
The tall woman turned her head and looked over, her eyes narrowing – what a small world!
Unexpectedly, I ran into the Luo sisters here: Luo Meijiao and Luo Yingpei, the younger sisters of Consort Luo.
Two men and two maids followed behind the two, and the group of six people quickly approached the three siblings.
The tall woman remembered her elders' advice to avoid the Luo family recently, as her safety was paramount. She pulled her younger siblings back and turned to leave.
Unexpectedly, a man holding a paper fan approached and pointed at the tall woman, saying, "Miss Ren, don't go! What do you want? I'll buy it for you! Don't go!"
Another man in blue robes, equally foul-mouthed, said, "Oh, this is Miss Ren the Second. It's been years since I last saw her. She's grown up quite a bit. Perfect timing! She'll come to the manor with her sister. We have many brothers in our family, so we can all play together."
The tall woman said angrily, "You two lecherous scoundrels, get out of my way, or I'll call for help."
The short sister and brother also showed fierce expressions: "Don't push your luck, there are soldiers patrolling the streets outside."
Luo Meijiao, dressed in red, giggled, "What a joke! What have we done? My eldest cousin is willing to buy you jewelry, and my second cousin is willing to take you into his mansion. This is our kindness. Would the soldiers be so indiscriminate as to arrest people?"
Luo Yingpei, dressed in pink, also said sarcastically and arrogantly: "Ren Randan, I call you Miss Ren, do you still think your Ren family is the same as before? The whole family is either paralyzed or lame, not a single decent one. My cousin is willing to take you two sisters, your family is already burning incense. You really don't know how to appreciate kindness."
It turns out that the three siblings are from the Ren family.
The tall older sister, Ren Randan, the short younger sister, Ren Ranman, and the younger brother, Ren Jinning, are Ren Zu'an's eldest granddaughter, second granddaughter, and youngest grandson.
The three siblings snuck out today. They only wanted to buy a birthday gift for their grandmother and then go back, so they didn't bring any maids or servants. They just told their coachman, Uncle Zhong, to wait for them at the street corner.
At this moment, they encountered trouble.
The opposing side consisted of six adults, while their side had children; the disparity in strength was so great that the outcome was obvious.
Ren Ran hardened her heart and glared angrily at the two men in front of her. She was going all out. She bet that the two men wouldn't dare to physically stop her. At most, they would just mock and ridicule her. She could tolerate such foul language. So, this girl, with her sister on the left and her brother on the right, strode towards the shop entrance.
Just as they were about to reach the door, Luo Yingpei suddenly said, "Cousin, if you don't make your move soon, the beauty will be gone, and you won't be able to enjoy the bliss of having two women."
Before he finished speaking, the man in blue grabbed Ren Randan's right hand. "Miss Ren, come back with me... Ah, you little brat... you're asking for it..."
Before the man in blue could finish speaking, the child, Ren Jinning, opened her mouth and bit the outstretched arm, holding on tightly and refusing to let go, causing blood to spurt out immediately.
The sudden pain caused the man in blue to use all his strength to grab the child, choke the child's neck, and throw the child out the door the instant the child let go.
"what--"
"Little brother—"
