Chapter 143: Worrying Character
Shen Shuyi came back to his senses and blinked at Mr. Chen, who was looking stern, serious and disapproving in front of him.
Should she?
Dirty land has more living things, while clear water often has no fish.
This statement is most appropriate for her and her brother.
The dirtier the place, the more organisms grow. Conversely, the cleaner the place, the harder it is for organisms to grow. The cleaner the water in the pond, the less conducive it is for fish to grow. First, they cannot get nourishment, and second, they cannot get protection. This is the law of nature.
Shen Shuyi remained silent, and Shen Qinghuan said softly, "Mr. Chen, my second sister has been practicing in the Jade Buddha Temple for almost five years, and now she may have many questions about her studies."
The man frowned and said in a deep voice, "I know you have been delayed in your studies for many years, but it is precisely because of this that you should know that hard work can make up for your shortcomings, instead of sitting here and wasting this opportunity."
Shen Shuyi lowered his eyes and said gently, "What you have taught me is right, sir."
The man said in a deep voice: "Go back and copy this article three times and give it to me tomorrow."
Shen Shuyi was silent for a moment, and then said again: "Sorry, sir, I injured my wrist before, and I can't pick up a pen for a while."
Chen Kang frowned even more tightly and said in a cold voice: "You started late and are lazy and sluggish. Second Miss should work harder."
"Sir, you are right." Shen Shuyi said gently.
Seeing this, Chen Kang said nothing more.
In the second half of the class, Shen Shuyi held the book and listened carefully, but he still couldn't help but multitasking.
Chen Kang was dogmatic and strict, and it seemed that no one had much interest in his classes.
I just don't know whether he criticized me like this out of compassion as a teacher or if he had some other selfish motive.
On the other side, Shen Jinglin was rarely released from house arrest because of class, but obviously, he did not dare to make trouble in Chen Kang's class. Although Chen Kang didn't care about him, he would never allow him to disrupt discipline.
Because throughout the whole class, Shen Jinglin was quite well behaved except for eating, drinking and sleeping.

On the other side, Qin Xuerong was counting the silver in the account when Nanny Wang hurried in.
"Madam, Mr. Chen is here."
Qin Xuerong took a moment to react, put down the account in her hand, rubbed her temple and said, "Please ask him to come in and prepare tea."
After a while, Chen Kang showed up and bowed to Qin Xuerong and said, "Mrs. Shen."
"Sir, please take a seat. Is Brother Lin behaving well today?" Qin Xuerong said with a smile. She knew her son best.
Speaking of Shen Jinglin, Chen Kang frowned: "The young master didn't make any trouble today, but he didn't listen to the lecture attentively either."
Hearing this, Qin Xuerong sighed: "How come this child doesn't look like his brother at all..."
Speaking of Shen Jingan, Chen Kang's expression eased a lot, and he said in a gentle voice: "Young Master has always been determined to learn martial arts. It's not too late now. Madam, you might as well give it some more consideration."
When Qin Xuerong mentioned this, she frowned and said slowly, "Sir, you don't know. Brother Lin has only read too many storybooks. He doesn't know that swords have no eyes, and he doesn't know the hardships of the battlefield."
In recent years, the Daqian Dynasty has been plagued by constant wars, there are many military generals, and the entire royal family is prosperous. It is too difficult for Lin Ge'er to make a name for himself among the military generals under such circumstances.
What's more, the Qin and Shen families don't have many connections with military generals, and they won't be able to help much in the future.
Thinking of this, Qin Xuerong couldn't help but think of Shen Jingzhen's marriage. If this incident hadn't happened, the Feng family would indeed be a good choice. If Brother Lin really joined the army and learned martial arts in the future, she could also be counted on. But now...
It's too late to say anything.
"Also, I came here today to report to Madam. Madam once asked me to take good care of the second young lady, but I am afraid that I will fail Madam's trust." Chen Kang said in a deep voice.
Qin Xuerong was stunned for a moment, then asked: "Where did you get this from?"
"The Second Miss hasn't been to school for a long time, and her studies are unfamiliar. These are not a big deal, but the Second Miss has a bad attitude and is not interested in what I say. She even refused because her wrist was injured when I asked her to copy a book. With such an attitude, I am afraid that Chen is helpless!"
Hearing Chen Kang's words, Qin Xuerong sneered in her heart.
As early as when Shen Jingchuan asked Shen Shuyi to go to school together, she had prepared generous gifts in advance and asked Chen Kang to take good care of Shen Shuyi.
Chen Kang is upright, old-fashioned and quite strict. He will target Shen Shuyi without her having to do anything to stop him.
When Qin Xuerong thought of the recent events, her eyes became a little gloomy.
She hadn't sorted out her thoughts yet, but the trouble caused by Shen Jingzhen and Shen Jinglin in Prince Duan's Mansion must be related to her!
She had already asked carefully, and found out that Lin Ge'er used those snakes to intimidate the grandson of Prince Duan because he was bewitched by that bitch Shen Shuyi!
Qin Xuerong sighed and said worriedly: "Mr. Chen, to be honest, I didn't expect Sister Yi to have much talent. She is a woman, and the Shen family doesn't expect her to achieve great things. It's just..."
Chen Kang looked serious and said in a deep voice, "Just what? Madam, please speak frankly."
Qin Xuerong said quietly, "Regardless of gender, talent and learning are secondary, but character and morality cannot be ambiguous. I asked you to help me correct my character before, otherwise, when I get married in the future, I am afraid it will also affect the reputation of the Shen family."
Chen Kang was stunned for a moment, then he thought carefully about Shen Shuyi and asked again, "Madam, why do you say that?"
"Madame Wang, bring the things here."
After a while, Nanny Wang brought out a few pieces of paper and a Buddhist scripture. Qin Xuerong handed them to Chen Kang and said worriedly, "Mr. Chen, please take a look."
Chen Kang looked at it carefully and said slowly, "Madam, do you want me to look at this?"
Qin Xuerong nodded: "That's right."
"The Buddhist scripture in front was carefully copied by Sister Yi for the old lady, but the words on the following pieces of paper were also written by Sister Yi."
Chen Kang frowned tightly. "This... This is impossible! A person's handwriting cannot change so much. What's more, the two are so different."
Qin Xuerong said slowly: "You think so too."
Chen Kang frowned and said nothing. Qin Xuerong asked again, "Sir, what do you think of the words written in this Buddhist scripture?"
After Chen Kang carefully read it, he said slowly: "Very good! The strokes are like dragons and snakes, and the force penetrates the back of the paper. It is both regular and sharp. If you don't have ten years of writing skills, you will never be able to write such words!"
Qin Xuerong continued, "So, how could Sister Yi, who is so young and has been in the Buddhist temple for many years without anyone to teach her, write such words... But she claimed to her husband and the old lady that these were written by her own hand, so I am quite worried."
After hearing this, Chen Kang finally understood, and a hint of disgust flashed in his eyes.
In order to seek personal gain, he forged other people's handwriting, took shortcuts, deceived his superiors and concealed the truth from his subordinates. He was full of lies, vain and impatient. His character is indeed worrying!
