The backdrop can also be propped up.

Chapter 356 Escaping the Huang Mansion 22

If you want to persuade Huang Muyan, you should not only encourage her to continue her studies and make her realize how important education is, but also make sure that her sense of guilt towards Wang Shi is the least compared to other relationships.

So how do we minimize the guilt value?

Of course, we should use something even greater than filial piety to persuade them.

Hearing what "Xiao Wan" had just said, Huang Muyan knew that her mother actually wanted to use this as an excuse to keep her at home. However, after hearing her mother's words, she couldn't get over the hurdle in her heart: "My mother is getting old. If I can't stay by her side to take care of her often, wouldn't that be inappropriate?"

"Sister Huang, what is the purpose of studying?" Lu Renkui did not directly answer Huang Muyan's concerns, but changed the subject first.

"Studying..." Huang Muyan paused for a moment, then thought for a moment and replied, "Studying is naturally for the purpose of saving the country and the people."

“Since you have the idea of ​​saving the country and the people, why don’t you do it?” Lu Renkui said, increasing the pressure when grinding the ink.

“You’re right, but I still feel guilty for not being able to be filial to my mother.” Huang Muyan seemed to have come close to her previous thoughts, but she was still a little worried about her elderly mother.

“Sister, have you forgotten? It has always been difficult to be both loyal and filial.” Lu Renkui stopped grinding ink, sat down on the stone bench, and continued to say to Huang Muyan, “If you want to serve the country and the people, you can only leave the First Madam and go back to school to continue your studies.”

"Moreover, the eldest madam has so many people around her, with the eldest young master and others waiting by her side. If you are worried about the eldest madam, you can write back to comfort her from time to time and send some gifts to the eldest madam."

"Moreover, my sister has lofty ambitions and hopes to make some contributions to saving the country and the people. If my sister goes to study and makes a name for herself, she will surely bring honor to the family. I think that is what the First Madam hopes to see."

After listening to what "Xiao Wan" had to say, Huang Muyan thought for a while and finally said, "During the Song Dynasty, Yue Fei was going to war to protect his country. His mother tattooed the four characters 'Serve the country with utmost loyalty' on his back."

"Yue Fei's mother also felt sorry for him, but she knew that her son was going to do something important to protect the country, so she reluctantly sent Yue Fei off to war."

“I am also going to do great things for the country and the people. My mother must feel the same way as my mother-in-law when she first learned that Yue Fei was going to war. She was reluctant to let me go and felt sorry for me. So she tried her best to keep me by her side.”

“I’ve told my mother now, but she probably still won’t agree,” Huang Muyan muttered to herself. “So I’ll stick to the original plan—I will continue my studies, broaden my horizons, and then save our country from this disaster.”

Hearing that Huang Muyan had decided to proceed according to the original plan, Lu Renkui breathed a sigh of relief.

Although Huang Muyan would likely still give money to Mu Wanqing's brother, Mu Baiyuan, to help them escape, Lu Renkui still felt that with Huang Muyan by their side, their chances of escaping were greater—Huang Muyan was almost an adult and could read, so it would be better for her to take the original owner and Mu Baiyuan with her than for Mu Baiyuan, a minor, to live in an unfamiliar place with the original owner; moreover, Huang Muyan should be more familiar with the route away from the Huang family than she and Mu Baiyuan were.

Moreover, Huang Muyan never regretted her decision to leave the Huang family to continue her studies in the original story, and she even found her soulmate later on.

If Huang Muyan chooses to stay in the Huang family now, she may live in regret forever—she is a person with lofty ambitions and should not be confined to a small place, living a life of melancholy.

Outside the courtyard, someone ran and shouted, "Young Miss, Madam wants you to go to the main hall. The two detectives said they found some clues and want you to come over."

So this is the second confession already. Lu Renkui recalled the original plot and realized that it happened two days earlier than in the original story—because Huang Muyan's uncle had sneaked into the study to steal something when no one was looking, which caused the scene to be disturbed, and it took the two protagonists a long time to put the logic back together.

Now that Huang Muyan's uncle isn't causing trouble, the process is progressing much faster than Lu Renkui had imagined.
