Translator: CokeZero Editor: Rainystars

Lu Jiao shook her head, “Your dad and I have decided to stick to the courses I designed. When you turn six, we’ll start studying the Four Books and Five Classics. When that time comes, you’ll have to study seriously. For now, it’s time for us to play, so let’s enjoy.”

As Lu Jiao spoke, the four little ones cheered. The First Born quickly exclaimed, “Mommy, don’t worry. When we turn six and start studying, I’ll study hard, strive for the top, and bring honor to you.”

Lu Jiao smiled happily and was about to praise the First Born when…

Beside her, Xie Yunjin interrupted, “I’ll bring honor to your mom. In the future, focus on bringing honor to your wife.”

The First Born laughed heartily.

The Second Born quickly added, “In the future, I’ll bring honor to my lady by making her the wife of a General.”

The Third and Fourth Born glanced at the Second Born then teased, “You’re shameless, thinking about a wife at such a young age.”

“Yeah, the Second Born is bashful.

The Fourth Born playfully touched his own nose, teasing the Second Born.

The Second Born straightened his chest and snorted.

Xie Yunjin and Lu Jiao laughed as they watched the chaos caused by the four little ones, their faces filled with smiles.

But in the end, Xie Yunjin cautioned the four little ones, “Don’t tell anyone about your photographic memory, okay?”

The four little ones, hearing Xie Yunjin’s words, didn’t think much and responded together, “Got it, daddy.”

Looking at the four handsome and cute children, Xie Yunjin felt indescribable joy. He stepped forward and took turns hugging each of the four little ones.

Seeing Xie Yunjin so enthusiastic tonight, each of the four little ones happily kissed him on the face.

Lu Jiao also went forward to hug the four little ones. “Alright, time to sleep. Tomorrow, we have lessons again.”

“Okay, we know.”

The four little ones obediently went to sleep. Xie Yunjin and Lu Jiao covered them with a thin blanket before turning to leave.

Seeing that it was getting late, Lu Jiao lifted her foot to go to her room. Xie Yunjin followed behind her, heading towards her room as well.

Lu Jiao reached the door of her room and found that Xie Yunjin had been following her all along. Puzzled, she asked, “Why aren’t you going to sleep?

Why are you following me?”

Looking at Lu Jiao, Xie Yunjin said seriously, “Knowing that the four little ones are extraordinary, I’m too excited to sleep. I want to talk to Jiaojiao. How about we have a late-night chat?”

As soon as Xie Yunjin finished speaking, Lu Jiao turned and entered the room, promptly closing the door.

Xie Yunjin stood in front of the door, momentarily taken aback. When he reacted, the door was already closed.

He couldn’t help but call from outside the door, “Jiaojiao.”

Lu Jiao snappily said, “Hurry and go back to sleep. Don’t make me throw you out.”

Finally, the man became aware of the situation. Okay, he had failed tonight. He decided to go to the front courtyard to sleep.

However, before leaving, Xie Yunjin stood outside the door and sincerely said, “Jiaojiao, I really just wanted to chat with you, with no intention of staying overnight. ”

Lu Jiao ignored him. By now, she learned that this guy was too good at taking advantage, so she couldn’t let him climb up, or he might end up sleeping in her bed everv night.

Seeing that no one responded inside the room, Xie Yunjin knew that Lu Jiao wouldn’t talk to him tonight. He touched his nose, turned around, and left.

The next day, Xie Yunjin went to the county school early to study. Lu Jiao got up, had breakfast with the four little ones, and then started making medicine. Without a doubt, the Zhang family had lost to her, and they would likely target Xie Yunjin next.

If Xie Yunjin ignored them, they might resort to cunning tricks, with poisoning being the most common.

So, she needed to prepare some self-defense medicine for Xie Yunjin, such as an antidote to aphrodisiacs, detoxification medicine, and drugs that could clear one’s mind. In short, Lu Jiao made several kinds of medicines.

In addition to making medicine, she also wrote down the formulas for several types of soaps.

To make soap, caustic soda is needed. There are two methods to produce caustic soda: the Leblanc process and the electrolytic method. However, neither method was feasible with current technology. Lu Jiao decided to extract soluble alkali from natural sources for soap production.

Alkali can be extracted from evaporated lake water to obtain natural soda, or it can be extracted from the ashes of plants such as seaweed to obtain rich sodium carbonate. It can also be extracted from the ashes of wood to obtain potassium carbonate.

In any case, extracting alkali is not that difficult. Lu Jiao wrote down the methods for extracting alkali and making soap.

By this time, it was already late.

The cheerful voices of the four little ones rang from outside, “Mommy, haven’t you finished yet?”

“Mommy, are you hungry? It’s dinner time!”

The four little ones rushed in from outside and surrounded Lu Jiao.

“Mommy, what are you busy with? You’ve been busy all day and haven’t come out.”

“You didn’t eat much for lunch. You must eat more tonight.”

The Fourth Born, acting like a little adult, reached out and touched Lu Jiao’s face. “Mommy, you’ve lost weight again.”

Hearing that she had lost weight, Lu Jiao immediately looked at the four little ones with joy. “Have I really lost weight?”

Before, it was easy to lose weight when she was chubby, but now, getting slimmer seemed challenging.

Lu Jiao’s goal was to lose another 10 pounds or so, but Xie Yunjin didn’t agree. He thought she looked cuter and prettier with a bit of flesh, so he opposed her continuing to lose weight.

Not only did that guy not support her weight loss, but every meal, he put the dishes she liked into her bowl. This resulted in her not being able to slim down quickly.

Now, hearing her son say that she had lost weight, Lu Jiao became interested and stared at her sons.

“Have I really lost weight?”

All four little ones stared at her, and they unanimously agreed that their mom had indeed lost a lot of weight.

The First Born reached out and held onto Lu Jiao, advising, “Mommy, you’ve really lost a lot of weight. You should eat well in the future. Eating more is

attractive.”

The Second Born vigorously nodded, “That’s right, mommy looks good when she’s plump.”

The Third Born immediately glared at the Second Born, “Mommy doesn’t like others saying she’s fat.”

The Fourth Born quickly praised, “Yes, even if mommy is fat, you should say she’s thin, and she really has lost a lot of weight.”

Lu Jiao listened to the words of the four little ones, feeling both amused and helpless.

“Alright, let’s go have dinner.”

Lu Jiao stood up and stretched, and the four little ones eagerly grabbed her hands, heading to the adjacent dining room for dinner.

As the mother and her four sons just sat down, Lu Gui walked in.

Seeing Lu Gui, the four little ones happily greeted, “Uncle, come and eat with

Lu Gui smiled and said, “Uncle already ate earlier, you go ahead and eat.”

After that, he looked at Lu Jiao and said, “Sister, brother-in-law asked Lin Dong to come back and inform you that tonight, Li Wenbin is treating everyone to dinner, so he won’t be coming back for dinner. You guys should eat without him..”
