Shen Tianyu pinched Rong Jian's arm hard, her smile not dropping one bit. Rong Jian winced but Shen Tianyu whispered in his ear without turning around. "I'll deal with you when we get back." Rong Jian's face slightly paled but he didn't dare to say anything.
Shen Tianyu continued the conversation as if nothing happened at all. "Then, it's alright for me to take the Cultivator's course, mother-in-law?"
"Of course. I never took any of those stupid etiquette lessons and I'm doing just fine. I don't see why it's required for you. Though, it might be recommended to ah-Jing's fiancee, the Crown Princess. It's still better for her to have knowledge of these things but it's no use if it's forced." The Empress stroked her chin in thought.
