Chapter 924 - 922: Cool her down
After finishing the meal and washing up.
Wang Yongzhu and Song Chongjin returned to the room, and Song Chongjin recounted everything that happened tonight in detail.
Wang Yongzhu listened to the words of Imperial Doctor Du relayed by Song Chongjin and laughed, "Master just has a stiff mouth. A few days ago, he was stubbornly refusing to say he would officially take me as a disciple, yet today he’s even protecting the disciple’s husband in his love!"
Laughing on the outside, she was really grateful to Imperial Doctor Du in her heart. Although he was arrogant, sharp-tongued, and had a bad temper, he was indeed the best master she could have.
These days, Song Chongjin loved to tell Wang Yongzhu everything and listened to her opinions on everything.
Then they began to talk about the intrigue at Baiyun Academy.
Wang Yongzhu smiled, "So what? No matter what plans Baiyun Academy might have, whether they’re really that arrogant or just pretending. In the face of true strength, it’s all just a paper tiger! If Baiyun Academy had real confidence, why resort to these underhanded tricks? Come the imperial exams, it’s all about real abilities, what use are these tactics?"
"Now I understand how Baiyun Academy declined! Scholars not diligently studying, only thinking of using some unorthodox means to increase their opportunities, might succeed if they’re lucky and affect someone with a weak mindset. But how often can these means succeed? Against those with actual great strength and strong mental resilience, it’s just a joke!"
"Just stay alert to guard against people like Little Ren, in case they use underhanded methods!"
With that topic, the two moved on.
They were more interested in Governor Chen and Zhu Haoran coming together to Jing County.
"Brother Song, you think it’s just for a Dragon Boat race that two important officials would come to Jing County? Maybe there’s something else going on?" Wang Yongzhu suggested.
