Chapter 1259: Chapter 1260: Does Your Conscience Allow It? Chapter 1259: Chapter 1260: Does Your Conscience Allow It? Chiang Xiao was taken aback.
She had not anticipated that Chen Baoshen would be so genuinely open with her.
This was the rhythm of someone who wanted to teach her everything.
âGrandpa Chen is willing to teach me?â
âWhy wouldnât I be? Youâre so smart and eager to learn, you catch on quickly, smarter than any of my apprentices. I enjoy teaching students like you the most. Why, are you unwilling to learn?â
âOf course Iâm willing!â Chiang Xiao quickly nodded her head.
What was this, a joke?
If Chen Baoshen was willing to teach, how could she possibly be unwilling to learn?
How many people in the world could have such a good opportunity?
âThen what more is there to say? Letâs get started now! Wait, are you tired? Do you need to rest?â
âNot tired at all, letâs get started now.â
âGood!â
Thus, the people of Renzhi Hall watched, astonished, as Old Master Chen was teaching everything to a young girl very carefully. He went through the teachings with her one by one, and even went so far as to fetch a copy of the Classic of Medicine from the Chen family for her to look at.
After all, not just anyone could see that Classic of Medicine!
Even if Chen Baoshenâs own son wanted to look at it, Chen Baoshen would dismiss it by saying that you wouldnât understand it anyway and not to flip the book too carelessly.
But now, he had handed the book directly to that young girl, allowing her to flip through it from beginning to end.
They were all curious about the identity of this young girl, and only asked Chen Baoshen after she had left.
Upon hearing that she was going to be Meng Chaojunâs future daughter-in-law, their expressions turned somewhat strange.
âOld Chen, recently, this Miss Xiao Chiangâs reputation isnât so good,â someone cautiously mentioned to Chen Baoshen.
Chen Baoshen was startled, âWhat bad reputation? How could she have a bad reputation?â
In his heart, Chiang Xiaoâs reputation couldnât be any better.
How could such a good young girl have a bad reputation?
âReally, there are rumors that her parents are not good people, that her fatherâs background is unknown and he might just be some vagabond, that her mother had her out of wedlock and then disappeared without a trace. Itâs been more than a decade, no news of life or death, and if that werenât enough, her family has an uncle who was an executed criminal, saying that with such dregs emerging from their family, their bloodline must be rotten, and she canât be much better. And many feel that Meng Xinian is blind to marry her, predicting that he will surely have a miserable future.â
âWhat are you talking about?â Chen Baoshen was furious.
How could they spread such rumors about Chiang Xiao, such a good girl?
âOld Chen, weâve heard that these things are true, that Miss Xiao Chiangâs uncle was just executed recently.â
âHer own uncle?â Chen Baoshen frowned.
âNo, not her own uncle, but the son of her grand-uncle.â
âWhat does that have to do with her!â Chen Baoshen roared in anger, cursing, âEven if it were her own uncle, that has nothing to do with her! Go, get someone to check where these rumors came from! I refuse to believe it, how they can bully a young girl like this, they have no conscience!â
Chiang Xiao had not yet heard about these rumors about her in the Capital City.
Although Wang Yi had written to her about it, without hearing it with her own ears, she did not realize how vile the rumors had become.
Of course, even if she heard them now, she would not be oppressed by rumors like in her past life.
When she arrived at the courtyard, the security guard saw her and immediately greeted her with respect.
âComrade Chiang Xiao, youâve arrived!â
Thinking of the time Meng Xinian had taken her to meet the security team, Chiang Xiaoâs face flushed with embarrassment.
âYes, yes, thank you for your hard work, Iâm heading in!â
She hurried inside, straight to the Meng Familyâs residence, and as soon as she entered the door, she heard the crisp laughter of a woman.
