"Two years." Shen Miao said, "Within two years, I must return to the capital. At that time Teacher Pei must become His Highness Prince Ding's aide and the most dependable one. "
Pei Lang smiled but there was some anger in his smile, "Shen Miao, aren't you overestimating me? I am just a poor scholar and do not have anything. Even if I managed to sneak into His Highness Prince Ding's side, how would I be able to obtain the most dependable reputation?"
"Teacher need not belittle yourself. Teacher is a thousand-li horse and naturally there will be Bo Le who appreciates you." Shen Miao smiled gently, "If one is not a thousand-li horse, one must see oneself as a thousand-li horse in order to let Bo Le appreciate." She lowered her voice and looked at Pei Lang provocatively, "If Teacher cannot do it, you guess how about I tell the story of Prefectural Magistrate Pei's residence to Young Lady Liu Ying and say that … The person who made me do all these was Teacher? Does Teacher think that Young Lady Liu Ying would be moved to tears? "
"You!" Pei Lang was flustered. Shen Miao's words were clearly a threat, threatening that if he could not be Fu Xiu Yi's left and right arm, then she would tell Liu Ying about these things. Liu Ying already had resentment towards the matter of that year and if she was told that he was the one who arranged it, Liu Ying might return to Bao Xiang Lou in a fit of anger.
Pei Lang said, "I have never seen such a vicious and cunning female like you." The young female in front of him did not have any difference in age and would not respect him as a teacher. Pei Lang even had an illusion that Shen Miao was always suppressing him. Her provocations and threats seemed to contain some kind of inexplicable resentment, making Pei Lang somewhat embarrassed. Who would have thought that the seemingly gentle and delicate young female would have a heart that was even more terrifying and cold than the matrons in the house?
"Teacher must be joking. The ways of the world are difficult and one is only struggling to survive." Shen Miao smiled modestly, as if she was a disciple who was being admonished by a teacher. Her hands quietly took out an item from her sleeves and reached into Pei Lang's sleeves to hand it over to him.
Pei Lang was startled for a moment as the soft fingertips rested on his wrist but after a slight touch, it moved away as if it was a butterfly spreading its wings to fly. For some strange reason, Pei Lang actually had an impulse to keep her but it was only for a moment before he sobered up and pinched the letter like thing in his sleeves as he looked at Shen Miao in puzzlement.
"If Teacher is free, naturally you can take a peek at the embroidery manor where Young Lady Liu Ying is at. In addition, there are some other matters that the top hope Teacher will follow in to do. "Shen Miao said.
Pei Lang's body stiffened and instead of being angry, he laughed, "Shen Miao, you want me to be your puppet?"
"A scholar has the pride of a scholar. Sir, you are so knowledgeable and have such a lofty and unyielding character. I admire you very much. If it were any other scholar, I would definitely not use such methods. " Shen Miao raised her head and looked at Pei Lang's somewhat angry expression but her lips raised, "But does Teacher still have a choice?"
"It is alright if Teacher is not willing to do it. Even if separated by a thousand mountains and ten thousand rivers, I naturally have ways to tell stories to Young Lady Liu Ying." She smiled gently but her tone was sharp.
Pei Lang felt an indescribable anger burning in his heart, and he felt inexplicably aggrieved. In front of Shen Miao, he did not have any dignity as a teacher. Every time he felt that he wanted to get angry but when he saw Shen Miao's complacent look, he could not get angry. Pei Lang even thought that in the previous lifetime he owed Shen Miao something and in this lifetime Shen Miao came to collect the debt?
He suppressed the humiliation in his heart and said, "Can one meet your requirements by doing according to the top's instructions?"
"I believe in Teacher's ability." Shen Miao looked down. On that letter, it was the things that Fu Xiu Yi would do in the next few years. Fu Xiu Yi looked like he did not have any ambition on the surface but he was secretly recruiting knowledgeable people. As for what kind of means to recruit and unearth intelligent people, no one was clearer than Shen Miao. Pei Lang was not an ordinary person and as long as he revealed a little bit of his' talent ', naturally Fu Xiu Yi would pick him.
