The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 140

Chapter 140: 106 Treatment, Cunning Little Monk (Two updates combined) _4

Upon hearing that Xiao Liulang was willing to teach his son, Mr. Lin didn’t need to be told twice. He promptly packed his son off.

On a sunny afternoon, chubby Lin Chengye appeared at the gates of Tianxiang Academy.

With his youthful face, Lin Chengye who was actually 21, looked more like 16 or 17.

Clinging to his heavy bag of books, he asked nervously and insecurely, “Is…is…is this the place?”

He stammered, a problem he had since childhood, that became more pronounced when he was nervous.

Housekeeper Zhou shook his head inwardly. Such a clever child, yet saddled with a stammer, he wondered how Lin Chengye might fare when he began school.

That’s right, Lin Chengye had always been home-schooled out of fear that he would be mocked in school.

Now, with no other choice, despite having passed the judicial examination, Lin Chengye was still no more than an additional bachelor. To distinguish himself among the many students, he had to work extra hard.

“It’s here.” Housekeeper Zhou warned seriously, “Xiao Liulang will be out in a moment, remember what I told you before?”

“Re…re…remember.” Lin Chengye nodded, “Speak…little…words.”

Housekeeper Zhou nodded in approval, “Right, speak less. This way, no one will notice that Young Master Six stammers.”

“Hmm.” Lin Chengye lowered his head.

The two didn’t have to wait long before Xiao Liulang came over from his private school, followed by Fen Lin and Gu Xiaoshun.

Lately, Fen Lin had been dining with them.

Smiling, Housekeeper Zhou stepped forward and greeted, “Xiao Liulang!”

His gaze fell to the people behind Xiao Liulang.

Xiao Liulang introduced, “My younger brother Gu Xiaoshun, and my schoolmate Fen Lin.”

Housekeeper Zhou smiled courteously, “Oh, Gu Xiaoshun and Fen Lin, my apologies.”

Fen Lin returned the gesture.

Gu Xiaoshun glanced at him, then asked Xiao Liulang, “Brother-in-law, who is he?”

Xiao Liulang replied, “He’s the housekeeper of the Lin Family, surnamed Zhou.”

“Ah, him!” Gu Xiaoshun was quite aware of the fact that his brother-in-law was going to teach someone. Xiao Liulang had made great strides in his studies over the past six months, and many were eager to learn from him.
