Chapter 269: If I can't figure him out, I'll tire him out

Chunxuan lived on the steps, Ning Jiewei and Qiubi sat there lonely, both of them were depressed.

The cat appeared again, but they were no longer interested in paying attention to it.

Qiu Bi's heart is cold and the flowers are withering away.

"Lord Ning is truly a man of great strategy. Whether in the court or in the harem, he can turn clouds and rain with a flip of his hand."

Ning Jiewei glanced at him with arrogance and disdain.

"It was just a small trick that was not presentable. I lost to him because of a miscalculation."

Qiu Bi complimented at the right time and used words of self-blame to express clear encouragement.

"The fourth lady had a plan that was perfect. It was my fault that I gave away my true colors when I was testing him. He saw through my clues and took precautions."

Ning Jiewei's eyes were filled with warmth.

"He is so cunning, how can you be blamed?"

"Don't worry, I will make sure he gets punished once I get back on track!"

Qiu Bi's joy was evident on her face.

"Fourth Miss has another idea?"

Ning Jiewei raised her eyebrows and looked very proud.

"Well, I have thousands of strategies in my mind."

Qiu Bi complimented again.

"Fourth Miss Liu Xu is very talented. I have to admit she is better than me."

Ning Jiewei tells the plan.

"Recently, my mother asked me to relax and concentrate on preparing for the imperial examination. After a while, I lied and said that there was an article I didn't understand, so I asked my mother to make the decision and let my elder brother teach me. She also told me to stay by my side every day until I learned it."

Qiu Bi raised his objection in a concise manner.

"Lord Ning has work to do at the governor's office, so he can't be delayed. The Duke may have a reason to ask for leave to punish you, and it's legitimate; I can teach you writing in my spare time, but I'm afraid it's difficult to grant you leave."

Ning Jiewei looked as if it was a matter of course.

"Just go and tell them, and Lords He and Chi will be flexible, right?"

Qiu Bi lowered her eyes in embarrassment.

"If it weren't for the princess, how could I have such a big face?"

Ning Jiewei's thoughts raced and she immediately came up with an idea.

"Then just say that this is the instruction left by the third sister in advance."

Qiu Bi shook her head slightly and explained the rules in a serious manner.

"It is no small matter for the chancellor to ask for a month's leave. Not only does it require the consent of the two powerful adults, but it also requires the approval of the emperor. Once the news reaches the prince, won't our thoughts be exposed?"

"If the prince knew that we were targeting him, he would be furious. Besides blaming me, perhaps father and the others would also be implicated."

Ning Jiewei asked.

"How long will the Zhongcheng take leave for? The two adults in power can decide for themselves?"

Qiu Bi answered truthfully.

"Six or seven days at most."

Ning Jiewei's eyes were full of confidence and smile.

"Then let's delay him for six or seven days, and then think of another way. I have so many strategies in my mind that it won't be a problem if I can find a plan for each step."

Qiu Bi immediately praised.

"The fourth young lady is very talented and far-sighted, many times better than Master Ning!"

Ning Jiewei laughed heartily.

"Hahaha, you've got me confused by all the praise."

Qiu Bi's choice of words and expression of ideas are all very elegant and perfect.

"It's all true, why praise?"

"Faced with Lord Ning, many people are helpless, and I am one of them. The fourth young lady is brave and resourceful, and is truly the best of our generation!"

Ning Jiewei smiled happily.

"It's obviously nonsense, but you can make sense of it. Your eloquence is second to none."

Having said this, she looked far away in the direction of Huixinju, making a resolute decision.

"Just wait and see, it will work this time. No matter how many times he talks, I will just play dumb and let him talk about it with relish. After a few days, I will be exhausted. Humph, if I can't figure him out, I will tire him out!"

"In order not to delay the important business, let's talk about this for now. I will go to see my mother now, and you should go to the governor's platform as soon as possible."

Qiu Bi nodded in response and bowed.

"Well, okay, thank you for your help, Miss."

Ning Jiewei bowed in return.

"Mr. Gao is very polite."

So, Ning Fengzhe followed his mother's instructions and came to Chunxuanju to accompany Ning Jiewei to study.

Ning Jiewei picked up a book at random and pointed at it casually.

"Brother, please read this article. It is very difficult and confusing. I have pondered over it, but I still can't get the point."

Ning Fengzhe approached the desk, glanced down, and smiled calmly, yet with a hint of contempt.

“This article is not difficult.”

"Yan Qing was a counselor of the ancient Xuan Zhou. When the people were in great trouble, his sister used a trivial matter at home to restrain them, which led to an irreparable mistake. This is a warning to future generations that when faced with greater justice, one should give up small gains. The text comments on his sister Yan Yi, who is short-sighted and forgets justice when she sees profit outside; and is rude and disrespectful to her family, regardless of the age difference. Although she has a name in the history books, she will be infamous for generations to come."

Ning Jiewei understood what he meant, slammed the table and stood up, immediately furious.

"You scold me?!"

Ning Fengzhe pretended not to know, and his expression seemed to be mocking.

"Explain the meaning of the text, how can it be insulting?"

Just like the wind fanning the flames, Ning Jiewei's brows were ferocious, the fire was roaring, and her words were certain, completely unstoppable.

"This article lists the ten great counselors of the ancient Xuan Zhou. Why did you only mention Yan Qing? Isn't it just using the past to satirize the present and making indirect accusations?"

"Why don't you talk about Situ Xiang? His elder brother assisted the traitors and helped the villains. He almost ruined the reputation of the Situ family. He is simply the most treacherous minister in history!"

Ning Fengzhe chuckled.

"It seems that Wei'er understood this article?"

Ning Jiewei realized it later and was too angry to even think about it.

"I...I don't understand."

Ning Fengzhe's smile was sarcastic, like frost and snow in the cold winter.

"I hear you are well-informed and have a strong understanding. You definitely don't have a superficial understanding, and you don't sound like you don't understand."

Ning Jiewei frowned in dissatisfaction, and forced herself to look like she was humbly seeking advice, and bowed perfunctorily.

"I... I only understand these two points. I don't understand anything else. Big brother, please teach me."

Ning Fengzhe had a calm expression and wrote down the full text with notes quickly.

"Take a look, is there anything else you don't understand?"

Ning Jiewei was caught off guard.

"You, why did you write all of this down?"

"Won't you explain it to me several times?"

Ning Fengzhe smiled calmly and explained the reason.

"I explained it just now, and you called it insulting. You were really suspicious, so I changed it to writing. What's the problem?"

Ning Jiewei rolled her eyes.

"no problem."

Ning Fengzhe asked.

"Is there anything you don't understand?"

Ning Jiewei is being unreasonable.

"I don't understand anything. Write it again."

Ning Fengzhe is also unkind.

"Copy it several times, and the meaning will still be the same. Since you don't understand, just copy it until you understand it."

Ning Jiewei's face was shocked and she became furious again.

"what?!"

"I've been writing for days, and even if I don't copy or write, I'm exhausted. Are you deliberately tiring me out?"

Ning Fengzhe's words are righteous and reasonable.

"Don't you mean that?"

"My sister's respect for my brother must be out of kindness; I return the favor in kind, which is even more kind, isn't it?"

"Who wouldn't be tired when preparing for the imperial examination? This tiredness is not just ordinary hard work, it is a great achievement both at home and at home. Haven't you heard the ancients say that cultivating oneself and following the Way will make one famous in the future; honoring one's parents and showing filial piety; bringing glory to the past and benefiting the future will benefit both loyalty and filial piety."

Ning Jiewei was speechless for a moment.

"You and I……"

Ning Fengzhe turned around and left as if nothing had happened.

"If you don't want to copy, then I'll leave and report to my mother that you don't want to take the exam."

Ning Jiewei walked quickly and blocked his way.

"I'll copy it, and you can't leave!"

Ning Fengzhe smiled disdainfully, walked to the soft couch and sat down comfortably.

"Weier is studious, so I should accompany her. Go ahead and copy."

Ning Jiewei booed in dissatisfaction.

"Ning Fengzhe... let's wait and see..."

Ning Fengzhe's eyes moved sharply.

"What did you say?"

Ning Jiewei gritted her teeth.

"Nothing, I said I'll copy it right away!"

Ning Fengzhe curled his lips in disdain.

"Copy carefully. If you don't sleep, I won't sleep either. I will definitely accompany you seriously."
