C17 Find an Excuse!

Lu Yuanxi was about to return to the Yatou Pavilion with the copy of the script, but she was told by the servant that Lu Hongwen wanted her to go to the study room to see him.

Lu Yuanxi knew why Lu Hongwen wanted to see her, but she did not expect that the news of her going to the study room would spread so fast!

Lu Yuanxi kept the stack of paper into her sleeve and asked the servant to leave. She then went to the study room.

In the study room, Lu Hongwen sat behind the desk. His face was not as casual as usual, and it was slightly gloomy.

At this moment, the servant outside the study room reported, “Master, the young master is here.”

“Let him in.”

Lu Hongwen’s voice did not sound happy or angry. Lu Yuanxi and the servant nodded slightly and walked into the study room.

“Father.”

Lu Yuanxi bowed to Lu Hongwen as usual. It was hard to tell whether she was being rude or not.

Lu Hongwen could not understand why his son had become a rotten piece of wood in the hands of the Grand Tutor.

Thinking about this, Lu Hongwen asked, “Yuanxi, how do you feel after going to school for the first time today?”

Lu Yuanxi avoided the main topic and said, “My father, I feel pretty good. I even made two good friends.”

“Oh?” Lu Hongwen paused for a moment and asked tentatively, “But the Second Young Master of the Prime Minister’s Residence and the Young Master of the High Duke’s Public House?”

Lu Yuanxi nodded honestly, “Yes.”

Lu Hongwen held his forehead and suddenly had a headache.

Although he could not comment on the character of these two children, every time he heard the Prime Minister and the High Duke compare their children, he would feel a headache!

He had never thought that Lu Yuanxi would become one of the young masters. Now that he saw her, he might as well talk to her about this.

“Yuanxi, I haven’t told you about some things. I thought that with your talent and personality, you wouldn’t need me to tell you. But now, it seems that I really have to talk to you about it.”

Lu Yuanxi pursed her lips.

He couldn’t calmly hear the words of disappointment from Lu Hongwen. So, Lu Yuanxi was silent for a moment and spoke before Lu Hongwen spoke.

“Does father think that Chen Huan and Lang Yuan are not good friends?”

Lu Hongwen was slightly stunned. “Yes?”

Lu Yuanxi nodded.

Lu Hongwen thought about what the Tutor had said and probably understood.

“Yuanxi, I don’t think so. You are the Crown Prince’s study companion. The Crown Prince asked you to come. If you don’t study seriously, wouldn’t you be disrespecting the Crown Prince?”

Lu Yuanxi had thought about this, but she had no choice but to continue on this path.

No matter what, the Northguard House must be safe!

“Father, I am stupid. I made you unhappy in the classroom today. I am not good at studying. If not, can I ask father to enter the palace and ask His Majesty to retract the decree?”

Lu Hongwen was surprised.

Lu Yuanxi was definitely a top-notch talent. Why would he say something like that?

Lu Hongwen looked at him worriedly and asked, “Yuanxi, did you fall from the horse and hurt your brain?”

Lu Yuanxi was speechless.

His father had even thought of an excuse!

However, this excuse was pretty good.

Thinking about it, Lu Yuanxi raised her hand and pressed her temples. A visible pain appeared on her face.
