Never in Xie Yunjin’s wildest dreams could he have imagined the existence of spiritual stream water in Lu Jiao’s body. He only thought that the four little ones were so formidable because Lu Jiao had researched some medicine for them to take, hence their exceptional abilities.

Lu Jiao, noticing Xie Yunjin’s gaze, didn’t think too much about it. Her entire attention was focused on the four little ones.

Lu Jiao looked at Master Pan and Shi, and asked with concern, “Are there any unusual aspects about the other two little ones?”

Master Pan smiled and said, “The Third Born is extremely passionate about medical skills. He can casually mention many medicinal herbs and even describe their properties. Most importantly, he knows how to treat some illnesses.”

Lu Jiao knew this was because she brought the children with her when treating patients. She didn’t expect the Third Born to have quietly remembered everything.

It seemed that this kid really intended to learn medicine from her in the future, which was not bad. In the future, the Great Zhou Dynasty would have another talented doctor.

Lu Jiao smiled, and Master Pan continued, “The Fourth Born is exceptionally talented in mental arithmetic. When Lady Lu taught them arithmetic, he didn’t need a pen and could calculate everything in his mind at an astonishing speed.”

Thinking of the Fourth Born’s desire to make money, Lu Jiao couldn’t help but cover her forehead.

“That little guy is determined to make money. Is this also fulfilling his wish?”

This made Xie Yunjin’s expression change slightly. He had mixed feelings in his heart.

The Fourth Born was the child of the Yan Prince and he was so intelligent. If the Yan Prince found out, he would definitely take him back. Would Lu Jiao feel uncomfortable when she finally learns of that fact?

Xie Yunjin felt that this matter might eventually be exposed, so he planned to take the opportunity to tell Lu Jiao about it.

However, seeing Lu Jiao’s joyful expression when talking about the Fourth

Born, Xie Yunjin thought it might be better to wait until later to mention it.

While Xie Yunjin was lost in thought, Lu Jiao noticed his change in expression and asked with concern, “What’s wrong?”

Xie Yunjin immediately smiled and said, “I was just surprised. I didn’t expect our four little ones to be so exceptional.”

Lu Jiao nodded happily, “That’s right. That’s their fate. Meeting me is their good fortune.”

Encountering her was truly their good fortune.

Xie Yunjin looked deeply at Lu Jiao and then turned to thank Master Pan and Shi.

“Thank you for sharing all this with us.”

Master Pan and Shi stood up, shaking their heads, “We also appreciate talent and don’t want these four to be wasted.’

Master Pan looked at Xie Yunjin and Lu Jiao, “Since they are so intelligent, you should now find a great scholar to teach them properly. In time, they will surely amaze the Great Zhou Dynasty.”

Lu Jiao immediately spoke up, “No need, we, as their parents, just want them to be happy for now. When they reach the age of six, we can find someone to teach them. Right now, let them enjoy a happy childhood.”

Master Pan and Shi were initially feeling sentimental. If the Xie family hired a great scholar to teach the four little ones, they wouldn’t have the chance to teach them anymore.

But hearing Lu Jiao’s decision, they felt a bit regretful initially but soon became happy again.

If the Xie family didn’t hire a great scholar for the four little ones, then they could continue teaching them. Moreover, upon reflection, they thought Lu Jiao’s approach was correct. The four little ones were brilliant, and even if they started learning at six, it would still be fine. On the contrary, they could have a happy childhood, which would be the most beautiful memory of their lives.

Master Pan and Shi stopped persuading further and bid farewell to Xie Yunjin and Lu Jiao, planning to leave.

Xie Yunjin and Lu Jiao sincerely thanked the teachers for sharing information about the four little ones.

Once they left, Xie Yunjin suddenly reached out and held Lu Jiao’s hand.

“Jiaojiao, although the four little ones are smart, they haven’t reached such a level. Are they so intelligent because you gave them some medicine?”

Hearing Xie Yunjin’s words, Lu Jiao looked at him in surprise but didn’t feel any anxiety or fear.

At the moment, she didn’t want to disclose the matter of the spiritual stream water, especially since Xie Yunjin suspected that she had given the four little ones some medicine.

Without denying it, Lu Jiao looked back at Xie Yunjin, “Don’t worry, that thing has no harm to children’s bodies. It only brings benefits.”

Xie Yunjin smiled, pulled Lu Jiao close, and hugged her.

“I believe in you, Jiaojiao. Thank you for coming into our lives. We appreciate

it.”

The two of them embraced quietly, feeling close at heart.

After a while in Xie Yunjin’s embrace, thinking of the intelligence of the four little ones, Lu Jiao couldn’t help but smile.

“Let’s go see the four little ones.”

Xie Yunjin also had the impulse to see his sons immediately, so he let go of Lu Jiao and held her hand, walking together towards the back courtyard.

Outside the house, Feng Zhi, Ruan Zhu, and others couldn’t help but smile.

The relationship between the young master and the lady was really good.

As servants of the main family, they naturally hoped for their two masters to have a harmonious and loving relationship. In doing so, they, as servants, would also be happy.

Xie Yunjin and Lu Jiao paid no attention to the others and went hand in hand to the back courtyard.

In the western room of the back courtyard, the four little ones were playing around.

The Second Born held down the Fourth Born, letting the First and Third Born tickle him.

The First and Third Born immediately began tickling the Fourth Born, who giggled but didn’t dodge because he wasn’t afraid of being ticked. As long as he endured a little, it was fine.

The Fourth Born laughed and said proudly, “I told you I’m not afraid of tickling. You didn’t believe me, see, I’m not afraid of tickling.”

The Second Born looked incredulous, “This isn’t right. Why are the three of us ticklish, but the Fourth Born isn’t?”

The First and Third Born, refusing to give up, extended their hands to tickle a few more times.

The Fourth Born laughed even more joyfully, proving that he wasn’t very ticklish.

Outside the door, Xie Yunjin, hearing the conversation inside, had a momentary change in expression. Subconsciously, he turned to look at Lu Jiao.

Lu Jiao, however, didn’t notice his expression. Lifting her foot, she entered the room with the four little ones, smiling as she addressed the First Born and the others.

“Some people are ticklish, while others are not. What’s so strange about that?”

The First Born understood this reasoning, but what puzzled him was why the three of them were ticklish while the Fourth Born wasn’t.

Xie Yunjin, afraid that they might delve into this matter and discover something unusual, quickly stepped forward with a smile, looking at the quadruplets.

“It’s late at night, and you’re not sleeping. Making such a commotion means you’ll end up sweating.”

The Second Bon quickly said, “It’s not that hot now, so we won’t sweat.” As he spoke, he withdrew his hand from holding down the Fourth Born and sat down on the edge of the bed.

At this moment, all four little ones turned to Xie Yunjin and Lu Jiao, asking in unison, “Why did Mom and Dad come over?”

Xie Yunjin and Lu Jiao looked at the four little ones and explained, “Earlier,

Master Pan and Shi came over and mentioned how exceptionally smart you are.

They suggested that we find a way to hire a great scholar to teach you.”

“Yes, the teachers praised you for being very talented.”

Although it was praise, the four little ones were not very pleased.. They quickly looked at Xie Yunjin and Lu Jiao and said, “Does that mean we have to start learning the Four Books and Five Classics and stop learning what we used to learn.
