Chapter 9|Pei Xiu Cai

A young male of his early twenties walked in from the outside. He wore a light robes and his features were straight. Even though his stature was slightly weak, one could tell that he was how a gentlemen should look like. He walked in and praised, "That was said well. There is also dignity in love and it should not be something to be mocked. Even though Guang Wen Tang is a pace for learning, it is also a place to practice one's virtue."

Every one of the students did not utter a single word.

Shen Lisa stared closely at that young man.

Pei Lang, an accounting teach of Guang Wen Tang. He has both integrity and talent and was the only Xiu Cai in Guang Wen Tang that could teach accounting. Pei Xiu Cai had a gentle temperament and was patient, as compared to other strict teachers, he was more worthy of respect to the students. Even Shen Lisa who was at the end of the spectrum was never scolded by Pei Xiu Cai as he explain patiently repeatedly.

If this was the case then this person was a good teacher. His moral character and talents were one in tens of thousands but unfortunately Shen Lisa also know his other identity.

Fu Xiu Yi relied heavily on his aids and advisors and when Fu Xiu Yi ascended to the throne, he conferred him as the National Preceptor. National Preceptor Pei Leng was proud of one's success, only beneath one person and above tens of thousands.

As an National Preceptor, he really did well. Shen Lisa thought that Pei Lang was an intelligent and upright person but during the time when the Crown Prince was disposed, he however did not say anything.

Shen Lisa's and Pei Leng's private friendship can be considered good. At the beginning the proposal of Shen Lisa going to the Qin country to be a hostage was brought up by Pei Lang. Pei Lang said, "This is for the sake of the Empire of Ming Qi. If Your Ladyship is willing to go, it would resolve His Majesty's desperate situation. In the future, there will be the Empress's shadow all over the country and everyone will appreciate the grace of Your Ladyship.

But in fact when she return to the Palace after five years, there was an additional Mei Furen in the Inner Palace and Pei Lang's people who previously respected her began to have precautions against her.

When the Crown Prince was abolished, Shen Lisa went down to her knees to beg Pei Lang because Pei Lang was Fu Xiu Yi's trusted aide and when Pei Lang speaks, Fu Xiu Yi will definitely listen to his views. But Pei Lang supported her up and say to her, "Your Ladyship, this official is also powerless on matters that His Majesty have decided."

"Pei Lang! Could it be that you will watch as the Crown Prince is abolished? You are fully aware that the matter of the abolishment of the Crown Prince cannot be proceed!" She was extremely furious as she questioned aggressively.

"This is already ultimately inevitable. Your Ladyship should resign to one's fate." Pei Lang said with a sigh.

Resign to one's fate.

How could one resign to fate? It there is a chance to repeat and one would still need to resign to fate, won't it be too lamentable and hateful?

Shen Lisa eyes was focus on the young man in front, he was straightforward and upright, would see one death without helping, has a gentle temperament and also callous and cold-hearted. As an official, everything was thought for the sake of the country, Pei Lang was a loyal official. But... As long as he stood by Fu Xiu Yi's side, he would be opposing her endlessly in this life!

At this current period, Fu Xiu Yi should not have subdued Pei Xiu Cai so there was a possibility of pulling Pei Xui Cai to her side before that happens? Or just simply... Nib him in the bud (aka kill him).

Pei Xiu Cai only put down the book in his hands when he felt a pair of eyes on him. He look up and met Shen Lisa's eyes of unknown implication.

Shen Lisa's sitting position was at the back but even it was so, she still stubbornly look at him. This feeling was a bit strange and Pei Xiu Cai felt that there was a sense of judgement and scrutinising in that expression as if weighting the pros and cons before a decision. To go deeper there was also a critical look on her face.
