The two children nodded.
"I like medicine. My parents said that since I like it, I should study it well and become a useful person in the future."
"I really admire doctors. I think they are amazing, able to save lives and heal injuries."
Sheng Lengshuang could understand the children's thoughts. "If you truly wish to learn, you must not give up halfway. You must persevere. Furthermore, you cannot learn other skills at the beginning."
"Only when you have made some progress and I agree can you learn other skills. Do you promise?"
The two children agreed crisply.
Seeing this, Sheng Lengshuang inquired about some of their circumstances, such as whether they could read and if they recognized any medicinal herbs.
After understanding clearly, she gave each child a medical book, asking them to first familiarize themselves with the various basic medicinal herbs in the book. "If you have time, it's best to go to the mountains and see the actual appearance of various medicinal herbs."
"The assignment I've given you this time is to bring some medicinal herbs you recognize next time and talk about their properties."
The two children obediently agreed, flipping through the medical books as if they were treasures. They couldn't read, so they looked at the pictures and helped each other.
Sheng Lengshuang nodded, seeing that they were good children. However, very few people studied medicine, mainly because it took a long time to learn and was not affordable for ordinary families.
She wished to change this situation, but it was not something she could change with just her will.
It had to be done gradually.
As she let the two children study diligently, she wandered around the school.
At this time, the school was silent. The first class was for teaching skills, and the second class was for teaching reading and writing.
She visited different classrooms and found that the most numerous children were learning martial arts, blacksmithing, embroidery, and the like. Most of the children who came to school were boys, with a very small proportion of girls.
This was not surprising; it was already quite good to have so many girls, considering the times.
As soon as she finished her rounds of the classrooms, she saw Mo Lingxi arrive. She smiled and said, "Are you done with your work?"
Mo Lingxi seemed surprised that she wasn't in class. "No students?"
Sheng Lengshuang glared at him, saying irritably, "Can't you wish me some good luck? I have two students. I've asked them to look at the medical books first. For the first class, no matter how much I talk, it's useless. It's better to let them familiarize themselves first, and I'll lecture in the next class."
As the saying goes, the best teacher is interest. It wouldn't be too late for her to teach them slowly once these two children truly developed an interest in medicine.
Mo Lingxi nodded. "I see. By the way, the Three Kingdoms have sent many gifts to the school, all useful for the school. They are probably trying to do something through the school."
Sheng Lengshuang was not surprised at all, as she had also received many gifts from the Three Kingdoms in the past few days. "I heard that Princess Zhi Ya has been causing a lot of trouble in the Laundry Bureau and has been beaten multiple times?"
Mo Lingxi replied, "She still thinks she's in the imperial palace of the Southern Jin Dynasty, where someone protects her and she can do whatever she wants. My intention and that of His Majesty is to let Princess Zhi Ya cause trouble. The more she causes trouble, the better it is for us."
Sheng Lengshuang understood. "Have you found any trace of Zhou Wenxing and the others?"
"I came to talk to you about this." A layer of coldness appeared in Mo Lingxi's eyes. "Do you know what Zhou Wenxing did in the imperial mausoleum?"
Upon hearing this, Sheng Lengshuang had an unbelievable guess. "He wouldn't have stolen the tombs of the imperial ancestors in the imperial mausoleum, would he?"
Mo Lingxi stated it was worse than grave robbing. "He stole the remains of several former emperors. If the imperial mausoleum hadn't been under repair recently, we wouldn't have known about this."
Sheng Lengshuang was truly surprised. "Is he trying to threaten us with the remains of the former emperors?"
Mo Lingxi was unsure. "But so far, Zhou Wenxing hasn't done anything with the remains of the former emperors, so his purpose is unclear."
A thought flashed through Sheng Lengshuang's mind. "Perhaps it's aimed at my mother. Zhou Wenxing is obsessively trying to get my mother, but he has always failed and has become a fugitive. If he uses the remains of the former emperors, wouldn't things be much easier?"
Mo Lingxi thought this was the most likely scenario. "Then perhaps we should..."
"Hahaha~~" At this moment, a mad laugh echoed.
Sheng Lengshuang and Mo Lingxi looked in the direction of the laughter and saw Zhou Wenxing standing on the roof.
"Does Prince Ming Rui want to retrieve the remains of the former emperors?" Zhou Wenxing asked directly.
Mo Lingxi remained unfazed. "No."
Zhou Wenxing's prepared words got stuck in his throat because of Mo Lingxi's statement. "How could you not want them? Those are your ancestors, the most important former emperors of the imperial family."
Mo Lingxi replied, "They are all dead. What use are their remains?"
Sheng Lengshuang almost burst out laughing. Could this be the legendary Mo Lingxi?
Zhou Wenxing choked. "Is Prince Ming Rui going to be an unfilial descendant?"
Mo Lingxi retorted, "If I truly agree to your conditions to retrieve the ancestral remains, I fear the ancestors would come back to life to discipline me."
Zhou Wenxing said sinisterly, "Prince Ming Rui had better think carefully before speaking. If you displease me, I cannot guarantee what I will do with the remains of these former emperors."
Mo Lingxi was extremely indifferent. "As you wish. They have been dead for a long time. We descendants only need to burn paper for them on festivals; there's no need to keep their remains."
"I say, Zhou Wenxing, I sincerely suggest you use your brain more," Sheng Lengshuang said sarcastically.
"Shut up, you bitch, you..." Zhou Wenxing's words were cut short as a gust of wind from Mo Lingxi's palm struck his face, swelling it.
Mo Lingxi said fiercely, "If I hear anything I shouldn't hear again, you won't live."
Zhou Wenxing covered his mouth, trembling and not daring to say another word.
Suddenly, over a dozen masked figures appeared, surrounding Zhou Wenxing.
As if emboldened, Zhou Wenxing threatened, "If you want to retrieve the remains of the former emperors, send the Qi family to the place I designate, otherwise, you know the consequences."
"Let's go!"
Seeing Zhou Wenxing being taken away by the masked figures, Sheng Lengshuang and Mo Lingxi did not send their hidden guards to pursue.
"As I suspected, Zhou Wenxing's purpose in doing all this is to get my mother," Sheng Lengshuang said with disgust.
Mo Lingxi comforted her. "Recently, please ask your mother to be careful. Zhou Wenxing will do anything to get your mother."
Sheng Lengshuang was very worried. "My mother can't always stay at home. She has to go out for social events and banquets. I'm always uneasy."
Mo Lingxi understood. "I will arrange enough hidden guards for your mother and handle these matters."
"Handle what matters?" At this moment, Madam Sheng walked over with her maid, smiling. "Lengshuang, I found a lot of unused books at home... What's wrong with you two? You don't look too well. Did something happen?"
