Chapter 689 Misunderstanding
Si Kong Jian thought Qin Yao was nearby and was on guard at all times.

In Kuanzhengfang, a mother and daughter just put on the sunshade and walked out of the house.

Caiwei said yesterday that the result would be out at noon, so Qin Yao took Si Niang there at noon.

It was the time for the students to have lunch. The garden was noisy and filled with the voices of children. It was much more lively than when I came yesterday.

When Qin Yao and her daughter arrived, Caiwei was already looking outside the gate.

Seeing the mother and daughter walking over, I looked up at the sun. The scorching sun was hanging right above my head. It was neither early nor late.

"Mrs. Qin!" Caiwei took two quick steps and greeted her with a smile.

Qin Yao looked at Si Niang in surprise. It seemed there was good news.

Si Niang called Sister Caiwei and asked impatiently, "Has the dean agreed to accept me?"

Caiwei nodded, "Okay, follow me into the garden to go through the formalities."

Great! Si Niang's heart jumped up and cheered.

Caiwei led the way, and the mother and daughter followed with a smile, and came to the room that they could not enter yesterday.

Tong Jia, the dean of the girls' school, stood up to greet her. After a brief acquaintance, the two sides began to process Si Niang's admission registration.

The annual tuition is two taels of silver, in addition to one tael and eight cents for four sets of school uniforms each year, miscellaneous expenses are one tael each year, and students have to provide their own pens, ink, paper and inkstone, a total of four taels and eight cents of silver.

This tuition fee is not the lowest in Kyoto, but it is also very cost-effective.

It was May, and the girls' academy charged tuition from February to November as a year. The first half of the year was already halfway through, so the final tuition cost only one tael and two cents of silver.

"Mrs. Qin, just give me four taels of silver." Caiwei said with a smile.

Qin Yao brought money with her specially, paid it readily, and asked about how Nuyuan's holidays would be arranged.

Dean Tong said, "The rest days are the same as other colleges in the city. We have one day off on the 15th and 30th of each month. In spring and autumn, the academy occasionally has outings and field trips. On the first day, we will end school half a day earlier and let the students go home to prepare."

In addition, there is one day off for normal holidays. If there is a royal event and the people celebrate together, the academy will also give students three days off.

As for other illnesses and ailments, the teacher can respond flexibly if he cannot teach.

"The courses vary from month to month. The academy will post the course schedule for that month on the bulletin board at the entrance on the first day of each month. Students and parents are kindly requested to pay attention so that they can prepare the corresponding books."

After that, Dean Tong looked at Qin Yao seriously and said in a gentle voice, "Is there anything else you don't understand?"

Qin Yao turned to her daughter again, "Is there anything else you don't understand?"

Si Niang shook her head and said no more.

Qin Yao replied: "No more."

Dean Tong: “.”

She winked at Caiwei, who understood and squatted down and said to Si Niang:

"Then please follow me to the library, write down the list of books you need to prepare, go home and prepare them early, and you can come to class the day after tomorrow."

Qin Yao was about to follow, but Dean Tong called her from behind.

"Madam, please wait a moment. Someone wants to see you." Dean Tong glanced towards the martial arts field behind and motioned Qin Yao to follow him with a smile.

Qin Yao raised her eyebrows and asked bluntly, "Who?"

Dean Tong did not miss the flash of coldness in her eyes. His heart trembled, and he felt as if he had known that reckless woman.

They all appear harmless when nothing is wrong, but they are actually extremely fierce. "Madam, just follow me and you will find out." Dean Tong still maintained a gentle smile and raised his hand to make a gesture of invitation.

Qin Yao raised her eyes and looked outside the door. Caiwei had already led Si Niang into the library. With Si Niang's intelligence, she could complete the task of copying the book list well even if she was alone.

Dean Tong explained: "With Caiwei here, you can rest assured."

He raised his hand again, "Please."

Qin Yao nodded reluctantly and followed Dean Tong with full of doubt to the stable next to the horse training ground at the back.

It seemed that the area had been specially cleared. There were only a few horses near the stable and people feeding the horses with grass in front of the trough.

When she saw the familiar red uniform, Qin Yao's originally stern face collapsed and she rolled her eyes speechlessly to the sky.

"Why are you here?" Qin Yao said unhappily.

She pretended to be so mysterious and asked Dean Tong to bring her here, making her think that she was being targeted by some powerful person.

Mu Ling patted the grass debris on his hands and turned around, curling his lips and sneering: "You can be here, why can't I?"

Qin Yao laughed, "I'm here to send my child to school, and you too? What's your child's name? How old is she? Let her take care of my fourth mother."

Mu Ling: “.”

Dean Tong coughed awkwardly and reminded Qin Yao in a low voice: "General Mu is not married yet."

Qin Yao said "Oh~", it turns out Mu Ling is single.

Dean Tong looked at the two women in front of him who were at loggerheads and felt a little confused.

When Mu Ling called the number of people yesterday, she thought they were very familiar with each other, but it turned out to be just average.

"Dean, please go and do your work first." Mu Ling said with a polite smile.

Guessing that the two might be talking about something that couldn't be heard by outsiders, Dean Tong nodded and tactfully withdrew.

When the others walked away, Mu Ling immediately showed an excited look, slapped Qin Yao on the shoulder, and laughed:
"You are very good!"

Qin Yao was confused. What was good? What was wrong with her that made her good?
"Still pretending?" Mu Ling rolled her eyes at her with a teasing expression as if she had seen through everything. She leaned close to Qin Yao's ear and whispered:
"Wu Sheng, you did a great job in this matter. It was very secretive. No one except you knew that you were working for His Highness. You did a great job this time. Just thinking about Si Kong Jian kneeling down to defend himself, I am so happy that I can eat ten bowls of rice!"

Mu Ling patted Qin Yao's chest heavily and said generously: "Tell me, what reward do you want? I will go back and talk to His Highness. His Highness is generous and will definitely agree to it as long as it is not excessive."

Qin Yao raised her hand urgently: "Wait a minute!"

Mu Ling's cheerful smile was still on his face. "What's wrong?"

"I think you may have misunderstood something." Qin Yao said seriously: "Wu Sheng was a coincidence. I am not doing anything to help anyone. I just want to be fair."

Mu Ling: ???
Qin Yao continued: "So I don't need any reward, and you don't need to thank me too much. This is all just a coincidence, really."

Hearing her words, Mu Ling was stunned for three seconds before he subconsciously shook his head and uttered three words: "No, Impossible!"

Where do so many coincidences come from in the world?
"What? Is there someone nearby?"

Seeing Qin Yao's expressionless face, Mu Ling suddenly bent down, looked around cautiously, and ran to the back of the stable and came back to tell her: "There are only you and me and the horse here, you can talk without worry."

"."

Qin Yao's silence was deafening.

Mu Ling had to accept the reality that he had imagined too much, and his happy smile was no longer there.
