Chapter 1259 - 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.

"Grandpa Chen is willing to teach me?"

"Why wouldn’t I be? You’re 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?"

"Of course I’m willing!" 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?

"Then what more is there to say? Let’s get started now! Wait, are you tired? Do you need to rest?"

"Not tired at all, let’s get started now."

"Good!"

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 Baoshen’s own son wanted to look at it, Chen Baoshen would dismiss it by saying that you wouldn’t 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 Chaojun’s future daughter-in-law, their expressions turned somewhat strange.

"Old Chen, recently, this Miss Xiao Chiang’s reputation isn’t so good," someone cautiously mentioned to Chen Baoshen.

Chen Baoshen was startled, "What bad reputation? How could she have a bad reputation?"

In his heart, Chiang Xiao’s reputation couldn’t be any better.

How could such a good young girl have a bad reputation?

"Really, there are rumors that her parents are not good people, that her father’s background is unknown and he might just be some vagabond, that her mother had her out of wedlock and then disappeared without a trace. It’s been more than a decade, no news of life or death, and if that weren’t 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 can’t be much better. And many feel that Meng Xinian is blind to marry her, predicting that he will surely have a miserable future."

"What are you talking about?" Chen Baoshen was furious.

How could they spread such rumors about Chiang Xiao, such a good girl?

"Old Chen, we’ve heard that these things are true, that Miss Xiao Chiang’s uncle was just executed recently."

"Her own uncle?" Chen Baoshen frowned.

"No, not her own uncle, but the son of her grand-uncle."

"What does that have to do with her!" Chen Baoshen roared in anger, cursing, "Even 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!"

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.

"Comrade Chiang Xiao, you’ve arrived!"

Thinking of the time Meng Xinian had taken her to meet the security team, Chiang Xiao’s face flushed with embarrassment.

"Yes, yes, thank you for your hard work, I’m heading in!"

She hurried inside, straight to the Meng Family’s residence, and as soon as she entered the door, she heard the crisp laughter of a woman.
