She saw Yang Chenglin holding 100 taels of silver and a set of stationery in Mrs. Cui’s room. He was showing off to Yang Chengsen. “So? You lost to me, didn’t you? I told you long ago that it doesn’t matter, even if you’re your mother’s biological son.
“I’m still the family’s legitimate son; you can never surpass me.”
“Impossible! My mother must be doing this for my own good.” The eight-year-old Yang Chengsen shouted anxiously.
He threw herself into Mrs. Chui’s arms and said, “Mother, mother, please. You have to give me 100 taels of silver as pocket money too.”
“There’s also the stationary. No, I don’t want that. I remember that my father bought a few small wolf-hair quills. I just want one small one…”
“Chengsen, don’t mess around. Your father bought the wolf hair quills to write memorials…”
Before Mrs. Cui could finish her words, Yang Chengsen pushed him away and yelled, “No! I want it! Who is your son? Why do you always side with him? 1 hate you!”
“Tsk.” Seeing this, Yang Chenglin snorted in disdain and turned to leave.
After leaving the courtyard and seeing no one nearby, he walked around and squatted outside the back window.
“Alright, he’s gone now. Don’t cry.” Mrs. Cui pulled Yang Chengsen up and said.
Yang Chengsen immediately laughed and said, “Mother, how was my acting? He’s such an idiot to show off in front of me.”
“He can’t wait for his father to deal with him when he returns.
“You’re the smarter boy, no?
“However, you have to keep an eye on him. The inkstone he took is a really expensive one. Even your father can’t bring himself to use it. Don’t let that dumbass lose it. Otherwise, your mother will also be in trouble.”
“Don’t worry, I’ll keep an eye on him.” Yang Chengsen replied obediently, “Mother, I have taken a fancy to a folding fan at Hengtong Pawnshop.”
“How much?”
“800 taels. It’s an authentic work of Master Wu, and its value will definitely increase in the future.”
“Alright, if it’s confirmed to be true, Mother will buy it for you. But I’ll say it here first, you’re not allowed to simply show it off.”
“I know. I’m not that idiot. I definitely won’t be a good-for-nothing.”
Yang Chenglin couldn’t hear what they said next, and all he knew was that he had been schemed against by the mother and son.
After that, he walked back to his courtyard in a daze.
However, he almost tripped over a rock because he did not look where he was going.
Zhou Ying quickly used her spiritual power to help him stabilize his body.
“Who’s there?” Mrs. Cui shouted.
Yang Chenglin was so frightened that he immediately snapped out of his daze and ran on tiptoe.
Zhou Ying quickly erased Yang Chenglin’s traces and put a cat down.
Mrs. Cui was about to look around when the cat jumped from the roof and landed on the opposite tree. It turned around and meowed at her.
“What bad luck!” Mrs. Cui couldn’t help but curse out loud.
She quickly closed the window after that.
As soon as Yang Chenglin returned to his courtyard, Little Shu, the errand boy, approached him. Seeing his panic-stricken appearance, he quickly asked, “Young Master, what’s wrong?”
Yang Chenglin opened his mouth, but when he thought of Gu Chengrui’s warning, he changed his words and said, “I’m fine; I just ask for a set of good inkstones. I just tripped on the way and almost hit you.”
“Oh, do you want to bring it to the academy?” Little Shu asked.
“No, I’ll give it to my sister. This is a good one, so I’ll be keeping it.
“Oh right, hurry up and pack your luggage. We’ll set off when I’m back.”
“Understood, Young Master.” Little Shu turned around and returned to his room to pack his luggage afterwards.
Yang Chenglin then went straight to Yang Wanning’s courtyard..
