Albudo patted the back of the old Duke's hand to reassure him.
"I do this for a reason."
"Both your two granddaughters are so outstanding. Since they are both excellent people, they will naturally have a competitive mentality, even if they have the same mother."
"I know that you, as a grandpa, want to make up for the younger one, but sometimes you can't go too far, otherwise it will make the other person feel ignored and resentful. So who do you think she will direct her resentment to?
Woolen cloth?"
The old Duke stopped talking, because he knew what Albudo said was right.
Sometimes, blindly pampering Miriel can be harmful to her.
"Well, you have a lot of knowledge and I can't tell you apart. You have the final say." The old Duke broke the jar and said.
Albudo stood up with a smile: "Don't worry, I have my own sense of propriety, and I won't treat your little granddaughter badly."
"Now that we are talking, I can't wait to see her even more."
After a brief nap, Bai Wu freshened up and then went to the study room under the guidance of the housekeeper.
This is the largest study place in the castle, even comparable to a small library.
Not only are the facilities complete, but all types of books can be found on the dazzling bookshelves.
When she opened the door and entered, she immediately saw Aisi sitting at the table.
However, she was not surprised by this.
On the contrary, it would be a surprise to Ais if she was not sitting here.
Withdrawing her gaze, Bai Wu bowed respectfully to Albudo.
Albudo saw that she was not shy at all, but was very generous, dignified and polite, and his impression of this little girl immediately improved a lot.
When Bai Wu straightened up, Aisi slowly stood up from her position, came to her, and held her hand.
"I'm sorry, sister. I should have told you in advance. We may have to study together in the future. You won't mind, right?"
She looked at Bai Wu with a cautious and sincere look, as if Bai Wu was such a messy and unreasonable person.
Bai Wu could naturally see through her little thoughts. After hiding the sarcasm in her eyes, she held Aisi's hand and smiled gently.
"Sister, what you said scares me. You are so outstanding, and you should have been a student of His Excellency Albudo better than me. It was only because grandpa was worried that I would be too stupid that I would lose the face of the Rhodes family.
Come and learn.”
"But now I'm fine. I'm so happy to have you with me."
She then laughed heartily, as if Aisi's arrival had brought her a big surprise.
Not seeing the aggrieved and embarrassed expression that she wanted to see on Miriel's face, Ais's expression froze, and she couldn't say the words she had originally thought of.
Albudo, who was on the side, was even more surprised to see Bai Wu being so open and cheerful.
Originally, he was worried that the two sisters would compete with each other and fight openly and covertly, but now it seems that this Miriam is indeed innocent, cute, gentle and kind.
No wonder the old man likes it so much.
Albudo coughed slightly, interrupting the tenderness of the two sisters.
"Okay girls, let's start today's study."
Only then did Aisi hold Bai Wu's hand with concern and sit down.
Albudo stood in front of them, pushed up the glasses on his eye sockets, and in an instant, the sharp eyes of a wise man were all focused back.
Even with a deep heart like Aisi, she couldn't stand the gaze of such eyes.
"I have learned about Aisi's study status before, so now it's your turn, Myriel, please tell me what books you have read before?"
Bai Wu didn't speak, but lowered her head slightly.
Seeing her look like this, Aisi felt sarcastic in her heart, and then she smoothed things over for her with a kind face.
"Your Excellency Albudo, you may not know that my sister Miriel has been living on the farm before and has not hired a special teacher."
But Albudo did not soften his expression because of Aiz's explanation.
"Miss Miriel, haven't you read any books yourself?"
Bai Wu then raised her head and met Albudo's gaze with a timid look.
Only then did she realize that his seemingly stern expression was full of encouragement, as if he was deliberately guiding her.
After curling her lips in understanding, Bai Wu said slowly: "Back to Sir Albudo, I have only read the Bible."
Albudo didn't show much surprise. After all, even if a family couldn't afford to eat, their children would be taught the Bible.
So he asked again: "Tell me about your feelings, or what part do you like best?"
Bai Wu glanced at Aisi beside her and nodded.
"My favorite passage from Proverbs is: 'You will also know righteousness, justice, uprightness, and every good way. Wisdom will come into your heart, and your spirit will be beautiful with knowledge, counsel will protect you, understanding will keep you,
To deliver you from your evil ways, from those who speak perverse things, who forsake the upright way and walk in the paths of darkness.'
This reminds us that we must be righteous, fair, and kind. Only by maintaining such a pure nature can knowledge and wisdom appear.
So, Mr. Albudo, I think that the first criterion to measure a person is whether she has a kind heart, not wisdom, isn't it?"
Her voice was very soft, and she seemed to be pouring out something from her heart when she spoke.
But when it reached Aisi's ears, the sound turned sharp and harsh.
It was as if he was mocking her evil thoughts, mocking her for speaking perverse words, abandoning the right path, and preferring the evil path.
For a moment, Ais panicked.
She had hated the Bible since she was a child. Whenever her mother read to them, she would secretly cover her ears.
Because she always feels that in those sharp words, everything she hides will be exposed.
Her evil and hatred will be ridiculed and punished by God.
So she quickly grabbed the porcelain cup on the side and poured a mouthful of warm water down her throat, trying to calm herself down so as not to be noticed.
But how could this escape Bai Wu's eyes?
The smile in the corner of her eyes deepened, and those deep and clear blue eyes looked straight at Ais.
Her red lips moved slightly, and she asked in a light voice:
"Sister, what do you think?"
Aisi couldn't help but tremble slightly.
She tried her best to look at Bai Wu and make herself look calm.
But as she looked at it, she seemed to see those ugly scars under half of her mask.
They turned into a ball of flame, burning her crazily.
With a "Teng——", Ais stood up, her eyes widened and her breathing became rapid.
Bai Wu quickly stood up pretending to be at a loss and stepped forward to comfort her.
