Villains Act Shamelessly: The Heiress was the Great National Master!-Chapter 247: Don’t Ever Tell Anyone
There are many people in this world who might harm you.
But Lauren Blair won’t.
She’s the woman who has cherished you since you began to remember, in this world.
That’s why Thea Shaw confessed everything to her.
Lauren Blair listened to Thea Shaw’s adventures, from shock at first to gradual acceptance.
Indeed, even Thea Shaw has moved on, everything is in the past now.
When Thea Shaw finished speaking, she waved Thea Shaw over. Thea Shaw walked over, squatted down, and obediently rested her head on Lauren Blair’s knee—a gesture she couldn’t do with Mrs. Sutton, but could with Lauren Blair without any psychological barrier.
Gently stroking her head, Lauren Blair asked, "Is learning those things really tiring?"
Thea Shaw spoke briefly, yet it was enough to convey the risks involved.
Achieving the position of Great National Master is not something ordinary people can easily reach.
"It’s fine. In that era, there weren’t many forms of entertainment, besides learning, it seemed there was no other way."
Having enjoyed the conveniences of modern society, living in ancient times was truly a painful experience.
Because it was indeed boring.
You’d be bored to the point of not knowing what to do. Many sights, once seen, are actually the same as modern ones, so they lose interest.
The modern era has endless entertainment while the ancient times were truly dull.
There was only learning to pass the time.
Of course, if you failed to learn well, you’d be punished.
Unlike now, if a teacher barely touched a student, they’d be reported instantly.
The teachers who taught were stricter than strict, if you didn’t learn well, you’d be hit with a bamboo cane. Although Thea Shaw seems to be learning quickly now, she didn’t have much talent when she tried to learn back then. Especially since much of the ancient knowledge needed to be memorized, she struggled with her modern sensibility and learned painfully—often getting her palms hit by the teacher so hard she couldn’t even hold chopsticks during meals.
Because the pain was excruciating!
For posture training, sitting improperly? Punished! Standing without grace? Punished! Eating without manners? Punished!
Usually, the punishment was kneeling, and when kneeling, it was solid hours upon hours—even though Thea Shaw considered it a feudal custom.
She was rather fortunate, being taken in by the master, so most of the time she was protected and better off than many.
But these things, for thirty years, almost seem insignificant, and comparing them, Thea Shaw thinks, it was worth it.
Under such experiences, unless one is determined to change the world, even the most extreme mindset gets tempered.
"Really... You’ve had such a hard time..."
Lauren Blair sighed softly, feeling for Thea Shaw’s adventures and hardships.
Though Thea Shaw summed it up in a few words, Lauren Blair could understand the struggles within. Thea Shaw wasn’t particularly clever since childhood. If she were truly a genius, she would have had a different life long ago—why wait until the Sutton Family brought her back?
These experiences were the hardest trials for her.
After saying this, the long-held thoughts finally settled, and Thea Shaw sighed, "So Mom, I am happy now, truly happy."
"I know."
Lauren Blair stroked her head again, suddenly worried, "No one else knows about these things, right?"
"No, besides you, no one knows about my changes. Even if they did, how could they guess that I traveled through time?"
"You mustn’t tell anyone!"
Lauren Blair’s expression turned serious: "There are many mysterious things in this world. Ordinary people can’t guess yours, but we can’t be completely sure."
