“That’s why I really can’t be so petty,” Yu Wan murmured. After marrying Yan Jiuchao, she was not only the mistress of the Young Master Manor, but also the mistress of the entire Yan City. She had to get used to her identity as soon as possible.

Without Nanny Wan around, Yu Wan rarely had a day off. She planned to bring the little fellows around the streets. Actually, she wanted to go to the Xiao Manor to visit Shangguan Yan. After all, she was her mother-in-law. Even if she remarried, she should go and visit her. However, she was not sure if Yan Jiuchao would be willing.

Just as she was wondering if she should persuade Yan Jiuchao, a pageboy from the outer court hurriedly came to the Qingfeng Courtyard.

“What is it?” Li’er blocked him at the door.

The pageboy said, “Miss Li’er, please pass a message to Young Madam. Something happened to Second Young Master!”

“What happened to my second brother?” Yu Wan walked out.

The pageboy bowed and said, “I’m not sure either. It’s news from the handyman of the Directorate. I heard that it’s quite urgent. Do you want to…?”

“Where is he?” Yu Wan asked.

The pageboy said, “At the entrance of the manor!”

The servant who came to deliver the news was surnamed Zhang. He works as a sweeper in the Directorate’s dormitory. Uncle Wan was worried that Yu Song was not used to being in the Directorate, but he did not dare to trouble Yu Wan. Therefore, he bribed a servant to pay attention to Yu Song’s movements. If there was anything, he would directly inform the Young Master Manor.

The servant had sneaked out of the Directorate. He had to hurry back after delivering the news.

Yu Wan asked him to make it short.

Servant Zhang said, “I don’t know either. In short, Young Master Yu and the people from the Chengxin Hall fought!”

Yu Wan had more or less asked about some news about the Directorate. She knew that the Directorate had a total of six halls. Among them, the Zhengyi Hall, Chongzhi Hall, and Guangye Hall were the first grade, the Xiudao Hall and the Chengxin Hall were the second grade, and the highest was the Luxing Hall, also known as the Upper House. After the examination, the students of the Upper House were qualified to meet the Emperor. If the Emperor allowed it, they could be conferred an official position.

The Directorate’s students were not divided into classes based on age, but only on results. Yu Song was transferred to the Directorate with a weak foundation and only managed to enter Class B of the Guangye Hall.

Yu Wan could not understand why Yu Song would fight with the people from the Chengxin Hall. He had already crossed levels.

“When Young Master leaves the study later, tell him that I’m going to the Directorate.” She had to tell Yan Jiuchao where she was going, but she didn’t have time to say it in person, so Yu Wan instructed Tao’er and brought Li’er into the carriage.

In the Directorate, Yu Song, the person involved, and the surrounding students were called out of the dormitory. They stood in the open space outside the bamboo forest. Teacher Liao and a teacher surnamed Sun glared at them sternly.

Yu Wan walked over and heard the voice of an unknown teacher from afar. He said coldly, “What happened? Why did the two of you fight?”

“He stole from me!” The person who was fighting with Yu Song said. From his injuries, it was obvious that he had suffered a huge loss. Half of his face was swollen and his fist was broken.

“I didn’t steal it!” Yu Song said.

The student pointed at Yu Song’s nose and said, “You stole it! I found it under your bed! If you don’t believe me, ask them! They entered the room with me! Did… did you see me find the banknotes on his bed?”

The surrounding students nodded silently.

So it was a theft. When Yu Wan heard this, she heaved a sigh of relief. She knew Yu Song’s personality too well. He might fight with others for other things, but he would definitely not steal. If this was the cause, then Yu Song had been wronged. There was still room for negotiation.

Yu Wan walked forward and greeted the two teachers politely. “…I’m Student Yu’s sister. My husband’s surname is Yan.”

The students’ gazes landed on Yu Wan. Yu Song was considered handsome in the village, but he was not that eye-catching among the playboys in the Capital. They did not expect Yu Song to have such a beautiful sister.

Didn’t they say that Yu Song was from the village? His sister’s appearance and temperament didn’t look like it either!

These students might not know Yu Wan’s identity, but Teacher Liao and Teacher Sun knew. The two of them frowned. Their first reaction was that this new madam of the Young Master Manor wanted to use her power to suppress them.

Teacher Liao said neither servile nor overbearing, “My surname is Liao. I’m Yu Song’s teacher. This is Teacher Sun. Student Liu is his student.”

Student Liu? The man whose banknote was “stolen” by Yu Song?

Yu Wan looked at him. Coincidentally, Student Liu was also looking at Yu Wan. The two of them looked at each other and he was discovered to be staring at her. Student Liu panicked and hurriedly lowered his eyes. However, Yu Wan was really beautiful, so he could not help but secretly size her up a few more times.
