Xu Mingfan's eyes paused for a moment, then he shook his head with a smile on his face and said to Lin Shuran: "Mom, I really didn't see who it was. There were a lot of people crowded together at the time, and others might not have done it on purpose!"

Lin Shuran expressed doubts, but Xu Mingfan insisted that he did not see clearly who pushed him. Fortunately, his injury was not serious and he would be fine in two days.

After coming out of Xu Mingfan's place, Lin Shuran asked the housekeeper to prepare a gift and go to the Censor's Mansion next door to visit Fang Da. Although there had been some friction between the Fang family and the General's Mansion before, Fang Da also took good care of the young Xu Mingfan in the Imperial College these days. The two of them

But they also became friends.

After that, Lin Shuran asked Chunxi to find a reason and called Lin Yuan, Xu Mingfan's close attendant. Originally, Xu Mingfan's attendant was a child of the same age who was found from the farm, but that child was not suitable to go to a place like the Imperial College, so

Lin Shuran replaced him with another person.

Lin Yuan was Nanny Zhang's youngest son and her dowry slave. He was smart and well-educated. He used to go out with the two young masters of the Lin family, and he had more experience. With him by Xu Mingfan's side, Lin Shuran also

Don't worry.

"Miss, the fourth young master has performed very well in the Imperial College. All the gentlemen like him very much, and his classmates are also very friendly to him." Lin Yuan replied in a low voice.

From Lin Yuan's narration, Lin Shuran learned that Xu Mingfan was loved by some teachers and classmates in the Imperial College because of his high talent, intelligence, studiousness, and active thinking. However, there were still some people who did not like him for his outstanding performance at a young age.

He was jealous, and many people secretly used his identity to make excuses, saying that he was unlucky. He was an orphan without a father and mother, and became a member of the General's Mansion because Xu Junze took him home.

Young Master, if one day Xu Junze has his own biological son, these adopted sons may be kicked out. He was lucky enough to enter the Imperial Academy because of the glory of the General's Palace. Otherwise, with his original identity, he would not even be able to

I couldn't even take a look at the gate of the Imperial College.

Xu Mingchen, Xu Mingye and Xu Mingfan were all sitting quietly on their chairs. Recently, because the third son Xu Minghan ran away from home, each of them felt uncomfortable. After all, they all had hidden worries in their hearts. After all, Xu Junze and Lin Shuran were not their biological parents.

, they are not related by blood to each other. Now both of them are very good to them, but what about the future? Will it change in the future?

Lin Shuran first glanced at the children of the Xu family. The way they looked at her had changed from the initial dislike, strangeness, and wariness to the trust and love they now have. The relationship between people is so wonderful. No matter what relationship they have.

No, but they gradually became a family that supports each other.

Lin Yuan also had some concerns in his heart. After all, he was a domestic slave of the Lin family. His real master was Lin Shuran, and the one he wanted to be loyal to was Lin Shuran.

"Is this really true? Lin Yuan, you didn't lie to me?!" Lin Shuran's tone became more serious, and her gaze towards Lin Yuan became more intimidating.

Lin Yuan pursed his lips in embarrassment, raised his head slightly and replied with a grimace: "Miss, I don't dare to lie to you. These words were taught to me by the fourth young master. He also said that every time you ask, just answer like this."

, otherwise I won’t let my servant serve him anymore.”

Lin Shuran was naturally very angry when she heard this, and also felt sorry for Xu Mingfan, who wanted to hide all this. In fact, these children of the Xu family may have heard outsiders talk about them like this more than once, but this is something they must bear.

There is no need to explain much about such gossip. She, the mistress of the Xu family, will slap those people in the face with facts and let them see whether these adopted sons of the Xu family will be treated harshly in the Xu family.

At dinner, Lin Shuran deliberately gathered all the children at the same dining table to eat, and left them to talk after the meal.

"Then tell the truth!" Lin Shuran's face became angry, and Lin Yuan did not dare to deceive again. He told Lin Shuran everything that happened after Xu Mingfan entered the Imperial College.

"Lin Yuan, how is the Fourth Young Master doing in the Imperial College during this period?" Lin Shuran asked Lin Yuan in a soft tone, but with sharp eyes, Lin Yuan couldn't help but feel timid.

"Although you and I are nominally mother and son, we are actually about the same age apart from you. The difference is just that we have read a few more books and got to know the world earlier than you did!" Lin Shuran spoke slowly. In fact,

She has more life experience than them, "Maybe I am not qualified to be your mother, but I have been studying hard and trying, and I have always hoped that in addition to the relationship between mother and child, we can also be harmonious friends. I am willing

I will teach you what I know, and you are willing to be honest with me. No matter what outsiders think, we are now a tightly bound family. We should share blessings and hardships together, and we should solve problems together.

.”

"Mother, we are willing to call you 'mother', which means we have regarded you as our relative and elder. If my brothers and I do something wrong, you can beat or scold us, and we will never feel resentment in our hearts.

!" Xu Mingchen said solemnly when he saw Lin Shuran talking to them so formally.

When the others saw what Xu Mingchen said, they all nodded. They all felt Lin Shuran's contribution to them over the past year.

"I know you are all good children with good hearts, but there are too many people and too many things in this world that we cannot control. There are good people and evil people in this world. Of course we must be good people, but when facing evil people

At this time, we must also learn to protect ourselves. You must remember in the future that we cannot bully others actively, but if others bully you, then you must fight back without hesitation, otherwise you will be condoning those evil people to continue harming others. Of course,

There is also a method to fight back against others. At any time, I hope you will do something with the premise of protecting your own life. Fools will act recklessly, but smart people will pay attention to methods and timing. You must study hard in the future.

Learn more skills, but also learn to be patient." Lin Shuran always had a premonition that the capital seemed to be getting restless, and the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion suddenly got married to three families, which was like a powerful signal that hit her, and she had to tell Xu first

The children of the family, "From today on, don't take the initiative to make grudges with others outside. If you meet the eldest prince, the people in Dingyuan Houfu will try to stay away. This is not for fear, but to avoid causing trouble, because you don't know

Does the other party deliberately make you angry and make mistakes? Don't hide from other people's ways. It's not to be afraid of hiding, nor to let you be bullied and not fight back. It is to learn to retreat in order to advance and wait for the opportunity. I have said a lot.

It doesn’t matter if you don’t understand it yet, go back and think about it carefully.”
