Xia Jingfeng clutched the book in his hands tightly, a glint of obstinacy flickering in his eyes.
"Mr. Du said that one must not slack off in their studies. I am reviewing my books here, Madam; there is no need for you to worry!"
He felt an extreme aversion. This woman surely had no good intentions. If he went back with her, he wouldn't be able to come out again. Surely, they would also chase Mr. Du away. They want to prevent him from studying! How could that be acceptable? He still needed to study diligently and go to the Capital City to find his eldest sister! His sister was in poor health and all alone in the Capital City; he couldn't be at ease!
In the past, when his sister was home, she took his beatings and scoldings for him. She protected him with all her might and saved all the best food she could find for him.
Now that his elder sister was not at home and he had grown up, later... It would be his turn to protect her!
