"Practice well, although I can't read, I can have a literate sir."

Seeing Chen Ning distracted, Annie knocked on the table and said angrily, "Mr. will be here in a few days. At that time, if I find that you have not studied hard, let me see how I deal with you!"

If it were normal times, Chen Ning would have been so scared that he would have trembled all over when he heard the word "tidy up". He knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

But at this moment, Chen Ning could hear the concern from his stepmother's fierce tone.

Chen Ning was precocious. She knew that there was no harm in reading and literacy.

Her grandmother has shown off a lot. If her father had not been smart and good at studying, until now, their Shen family still struggled to make a living in the outer city. How could they have eaten, drunk and asked slaves to call maids like now?

And she is a girl. In this era, parents who can make girls study must be loved and valued by their daughter very much.

Stepmother, she said fiercely, but she was actually sincere to her and her brother.

This, this seems to be what outsiders often say, "a sharp mouth and a ton of heart".

As for the ruthlessness of the stepmother in the past, is she not obedient enough to make an appointment?

Chen Ning completely forgot about the pain she had in the past. She was not forgetful, but as a child, she still instinctively longed for the affection and care of her parents.

As long as parents release some kindness, they can get the purest sincerity of their children.

"Mother, I will practice calligraphy well."

Chen Ning responded obediently and was about to continue writing when he glanced at his younger brother from the corner of his eyes.

"Mother, sister!"

Chen Xiong was alone and greeted his stepmother and sister in a very good manner.

"Well, come and sit here. When your sister finishes writing this, we'll start dinner!"

Annie nodded slightly and said lightly.

After hearing this, Chen Ning did not dare to delay any longer. He hurriedly grabbed the pen and wrote it in strokes.

Chen Xiong felt very complicated when he saw that his sister seemed to rely on his stepmother and completely forgot the hurt he had suffered.

On the one hand, he was happy to see such a scene.

After being reborn for a lifetime, Chen Xiong only has two wishes: first, take revenge; second, protect his sister.

But compared to revenge, he attaches more importance to the latter.

As for "guardian", how can it be considered guardian?

Just keep her from being hurt and growing up smoothly, is it just a protection?

As a person who has lived for two lifetimes, Chen Xiong had a knot in his previous life.

His unbearable experiences made him live even with a great minister.

He is very aware of the impact of what he had when he was young and his life will have on a person.

Especially, he is still a man, the law, and the secular world is far less harsh on him than for women.

Chen Xiong hopes that when possible, he will try to give his sister a childhood full of love and happiness, and this beauty will foster her character and thoughts and benefit her for life.

Shen He is a scumbag father, and they will never be able to feel pure fatherly love from him in their entire lives.

The "An" in front of him looked much more kind, and he also looked like he treated them as if he was loved by his own brothers and sisters.

But she is just a stepmother after all, and she has a criminal record. Chen Xiong is really not sure how long her "goodness" can last!

Chen Xiong was really afraid that his sister would be too addicted to it. Once "An" turned against her, her sister would be the first to be unable to stand it.

Moreover, my sister trusts her stepmother too much and will inevitably lose her vigilance. If—

Chen Xiong's contradiction, there was a confusion that only adults would have on his tender face.

Anne glanced at him but didn't speak.

After a while, Chen Xiong temporarily pressed all the thoughts in his heart and began to remember the serious matter, "Mother, I heard that my father is going to take a concubine?"

Chen Xiong didn't notice at all. He was less and less able to cover up in front of his stepmother.

"Your father is not taking a concubine, he is saving people!"

Annie corrected it, but her words didn't sound sour, so it was even more perfect.

"Mother, do you believe those words?"

Chen Xiong rolled his eyes. What is the congenital deficiency that needs to be joyful?

These words can deceive ignorant and stupid women. As long as someone with some brains hears these words, they will know that this is just a fig leaf.

"It doesn't matter whether I believe it or not. What's important is that it's good that people in the world believe it."

Annie responded lightly, "Also, the wife of the Yang family, who is a noble fourth-class imperial edict, personally ran to me, a rankless civilian woman, to cry, and she gave me enough face. Even if I don't believe it in my heart, I will respond to this matter."

As he said that, Annie sighed helplessly, "Who made me worse than others' identity? I was suppressed by others, but I was still envied by outsiders."

Chen Xiong:...

He knew the benefits of power, and he would have been so determined in his previous life and fought to the death!

"Mother, the Yang family is in great power. If Yang enters the door, aren't you afraid that she will bully you?"

Chen Xiong bit his lip, but for one sentence.

"No matter how powerful the Yang family is, Yang will be just a concubine when entering the door. As long as I abide by the etiquette and rules, my dignified wife can suppress her."

Annie's tone was casual, and she even said jokingly, "After all, the Yang family is not a royal family, and the Yang family is not a princess. They always have to worry about etiquette!"

Chen Xiong thought about it and nodded slowly. His stepmother's words were reasonable.

Why did the Yang family get seriously ill and have a happy mood?

Not to be shameless?

As long as they are concerned about their face and reputation, Yang will not dare to do too much.

However, Chen Xiong was still a little worried, "Okay, but what if Yang gave birth to a son, what if his father prefers her?"

In the backyard, there is not only the etiquette and law, otherwise there would be no need to favor concubines and destroy wives in the world.

"Although I'm empty-handed, I have you brother and brother."

Annie gently stroked Chen Ning's hair while she was writing, and said sincerely, but Chen Xiong still heard the loss in her words.

That day, "An" found that he had been sterilized and vented in the room.

Chen Xiong and Shen Ning were hiding under the bed, and they were just right.

Chen Xiong can be sure that it was probably from that time on that time that "An" decided to treat their siblings as their biological flesh.

Chen Xiong didn't care whether "An" would treat him like his biological child. However, if "An" could raise them well, protect them, and give him time to grow, it would not be a bad thing.

He was only worried about one thing. If the infertility of "An" was exposed and she could not provide evidence that the Shen family harmed her. Based on the secular strictness of women, she was very likely to be retired by the Shen family for "having a bad disease"!

Fortunately, this matter was successfully resolved.

Now, it has spread everywhere, and the "An family" may never be able to have children again.

But this time, no one blamed her because everyone knows that "An" accidentally miscarried because of the heavy labor, and was injured because of the miscarriage.
