Lan Ling's purpose in coming to Lan Ling was to seek help from Tutor Nia, to have the academy revoke the decision to expel him.

"The royal family wants to annex my Su family's Tian Shui City territory, so they are trying to prevent me from inheriting the title. My sister went to bribe Duke Zhiting. Some people are worried that Zhiting will really help me inherit the title smoothly, so they had Vice President Rog expel me," Lan Ling said.

Nia asked, "Who are these people you mentioned?"

"Princess Zhining," Lan Ling replied.

Nia, filled with jealousy, said, "Isn't she your dream girl? You would even give up your life for her."

Lan Ling gave a bitter smile and did not explain. However, Nia comforted him by gently stroking his cheek and softly said, "You don't have to say it; I know you did it for your family."

The imagination of a literary and artistic girl is indeed rich. No matter what, she automatically fills in the complete reasons for her lover.

"Don't worry, you won't be expelled. I will have Dean Jianyong revoke the order," Nia said.

Lan Ling's heart leaped with joy and asked, "Will that harm you?"

Nia gave a sad smile and said, "No, and what else can they do to harm me?"

Lan Ling thought of a question he wanted to ask but was embarrassed to ask it.

Nia immediately noticed his hesitation and asked, "What do you want to ask?"

Lan Ling said, "Two years ago, I was very frivolous. You are so excellent and full of depth. Why did you choose me? Even if you have no feelings for your husband, even if he restrains your nature, you have very high moral principles. You wouldn't cheat on him out of revenge."

Suddenly, Nia's tears fell, and she gently kissed Lan Ling's lips, softly saying, "Little boy, you've really grown up. You really understand me."

Then, Lan Ling gently leaned into Nia's embrace and said, "When I married Jian Ning, everyone envied us, thinking we were a perfect match. But as you know, he had just escaped from a rigid family and entered an even colder, more rigid one. Of course, this is nothing. A woman's unhappiness is not a reason for her to cheat. I cheated because... my husband wanted a green hat, so I fulfilled his wish."

Lan Ling was stunned, completely disbelieving that a young and outstanding man like Jian Ning would want to wear a green hat. How could this be possible?

"Unbelievable, isn't it? In the eyes of the world, he is so upright and dazzling," Nia said with a cold laugh. "You might know that Prince Zhili likes beautiful women, especially other people's wives. My husband, to advance, wanted to offer me to Prince Zhili for a night of pleasure."

This? This is too shocking.

Of course, it's not that Prince Zhili's preferences are shocking. For a royal member and future crown prince, having such preferences is normal.

But Jian Ning, from the start, was too shameless and abnormal. He is an idol of the younger generation. Moreover, he is the heir to a marquis, and his father is the dean of the royal city academy. Is he so anxious? After all, Nia is his wife, and once a man wears a green hat, he can never hold his head high again, no matter how high his status is.

Nia said, "I flipped out on the spot. If he wants a green hat, I can give him one, but I will choose the person to cheat with myself."

Lan Ling asked, "Then what happened?"

Nia said, "Then he became the commander of the royal third dragon cavalry."

"Ah..." Lan Ling said, "But you didn't go to accompany Zhili."

"That's right," Nia said. "Even though Zhili didn't get me, Jian Ning showed such filial piety, so Zhili still gave him the position."

This Zhili is very dangerous.

Nia said, "Zhili is a very capable and outstanding person. He has the cunning of King Zhilu but is even more domineering and unrestrained. He has his eyes on your Tian Shui City. You must be extremely careful."

Lan Ling nodded with a frown.

"Stay with me a little longer, and then we'll return to the royal city. I'll go see Dean Jianyong, and you go home," Nia said softly.

Then, she gently held Lan Ling, and they embraced quietly.

Before parting, Nia asked, "Two years ago, when I taught you to play the piano, you performed poorly. Why are you so good now?"

Lan Ling said, "Female teachers like bad students. If I didn't perform poorly, how could I stay with you?"

...

Half an hour later, Nia left the charity association. As she left, she said something that made Lan Ling's heart race.

"When you reclaim everything that belongs to you and can control your own destiny, I will confront Jian Ning and divorce him, and return to your side," Nia said firmly.

After saying that, she directly leaped onto her horse and galloped toward the royal city.

Lan Ling took over the class for the children and returned to the royal city with Ye Jingyu half a day later.

On the way, Ye Jingyu kept staring at Lan Ling with a strange look. Lan Ling felt very uncomfortable and didn't know where to put his hands.

Ye Jingyu's feelings were very complex. At this moment, Lan Ling was completely inexperienced. As long as she stared at him for more than two seconds, he would be at a loss and blush. Moreover, when she turned her back to him, he couldn't help but sneak a peek at her buttocks.

In short, at this moment, Lan Ling was a completely inexperienced, shy, and curious young boy.

However, when he interacted with Nia just now, he was completely experienced. His understanding of women, his words, his expressions, and his demeanor were those of a seasoned player, even more skilled than Solon.

Last night, he imitated Solon all night. But today, he performed in a different way, much more mature and experienced than Solon.

"Jingyu, please don't look at me like that," Lan Ling said, somewhat displeased.

Ye Jingyu said, "I can't tell. Your skills with women are even more refined than Solon's. Why are you so inexperienced in daily life? Are you trying to attract young ladies?"

Lan Ling frowned and said, "The real me is the one you see every day. I understand women and know what to do, but that doesn't mean I have to do it. I can act, but that doesn't mean I like acting."

Lan Ling grew up with his sister, so he naturally understands women. He has been treated coldly since he was young, so he understands human nature. He studied screenwriting and has seen countless movies, so he knows how to act.

It's just that he doesn't want to act unless absolutely necessary.

"Hey, you're not happy? You have quite a temper," Ye Jingyu said.

Lan Ling simply ignored her and lay in the carriage, staring at the ceiling.

"This woman is over ten years older than you, and it's clear she's already attached to you. I can tell that once such a woman falls in love, she is very passionate. What do you plan to do?" Ye Jingyu asked.

Lan Ling frowned slightly, closed his eyes, and pretended not to hear.

...

Three days later, Lan Ling returned to the royal city's marquis residence.

As soon as he entered the house, his sister Su Ningbing came up and said, "Little brother, Dean Jianyong has intervened and revoked the decision to expel you. You actually managed to do it. I can't believe it."

Su Ningbing truly didn't expect that Lan Ling would actually get Dean Jianyong to revoke the decision.

Lan Ling was also very surprised that Nia had acted so quickly. To protect his son's future and to prevent the family scandal from leaking, Jianyong had no choice but to agree to Nia's request.

This first round, Lan Ling had won against Princess Zhining.

Su Ningbing's beautiful face was filled with joy, but she also looked a bit haggard, clearly having not slept well for several days. Her counterpart on Earth, Lankou, was the same; she couldn't sleep at all if she had something on her mind.

"Why didn't you sleep well?" Lan Ling asked, concerned.

Su Ningbing said, "I couldn't help but worry. You look like you've lost a lot of weight."

Ye Jingyu, who was behind, couldn't stand it anymore and rubbed her arms, indicating that she had goosebumps all over.

"Miss, you wouldn't believe it. The seemingly inexperienced boy in front of you is actually a love guru," Ye Jingyu said with a laugh.

Su Ningbing's expression changed slightly, and she smiled softly, "Is that so?"

Her smile was a bit forced.

"Alright, Ye Jingyu, stop talking," Lan Ling said.

Seeing his angry and flustered look, Su Ningbing smiled lovingly and said, "The royal city academy has already sent a notice saying you cannot skip classes anymore and must return to the academy as soon as possible."

Lan Ling, thinking about the poor reputation Solon had at the royal city academy, couldn't help but feel a headache.

Solon and the scoundrels at the royal city academy were not just unpopular; they were like rats running through the streets. The boys despised and envied Solon, and the girls hated and were angry with him. Although Lan Ling's skills would prevent him from being bullied, being isolated wouldn't be pleasant either.

"Alright, I'll go to the academy tomorrow. I'm going to rest and sleep now," Lan Ling said.

Lan Ling hadn't had a good night's sleep for several days and originally planned to sleep for a whole day and night.

"Alright, since you have half a day left, you should practice martial arts and proceed to the third step of enlightenment." But in the afternoon, he was directly woken up by Ye Jingyu, who roughly pulled off his blanket.

Suddenly, Ye Jingyu saw an incredibly awkward scene.
