Time Travel: The Noble Family-Chapter 1211 - 511: Brothers 3

He wasn’t really deaf or mute. He had seen the changes in Brother Sheng and Brother Xu over the past month. When Mr. Yu Shan brought the children over, he speculated that the two children might not want to go back with him anymore. It’s good to let the children stay with Yueyao, at least they will be happy.

Yueyao didn’t know what to say.

Mr. Yu Shan said with a smile: "I’ve already figured it out. Every generation has its own fortunes. Once spring starts next year, I’ll first return to my hometown. After things are settled back home, I’ll take them to move to the Capital City." Mr. Yu Shan planned to retire in the Capital City.

The reason Mr. Yu Shan made this decision was after careful consideration. His daughter is good, but in the end, she belongs to the Gu Family. Previously, he couldn’t rest assured, but now everything here is settled. He should leave here and fulfill his own promise. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

Mr. Yu Shan thought, after going back to handle the adoption procedures, he would take his stepson to settle in the Capital City. In case his stepson is unfilial, he still has his nephew to rely on. If he’s really unlucky that even his nephew doesn’t care, he still has Yueyao and Min Jun, so he really doesn’t have to worry about his old age. Moreover, Mr. Yu Shan believed in his brother’s judgment, a person with a bad character surely wouldn’t pass his brother’s eye.

Upon hearing this, Yueyao quickly asked: "Teacher, is what you said true?"

Mr. Yu Shan replied with a smile: "Do you think I would deceive you? I’ve already made up my mind. I’ll return home next spring, and set off for the Capital City in September." His daughter has already moved out, so he doesn’t need to worry. He can leave Jiangnan with peace of mind.

Yueyao was overjoyed. Actually, after hearing Brother Sheng and his brother’s conversation last night, Yueyao was also worried about the teacher’s old age. With such a granddaughter-in-law, surely he would be mistreated. Life must be uncomfortable. Now it’s different, the teacher will return to the Capital City, and she can take care of him if needed.

Mingzhu was initially very pleased to know Brother Sheng and Brother Xu weren’t leaving. But after learning the reason, she started to scold Yueyao: "I told you long ago to bring the two children over, but you didn’t listen. You’ve made them suffer so much for nothing." The elders of the Gu Family are like that, naturally, the younger ones follow suit, definitely not treating the children well.

Yueyao felt a bit guilty. How could she have known that Gu Li’s daughter-in-law would be so unreasonable, not even accommodating the two children: "Fortunately, the teacher has decided to return to the Capital City, otherwise I would really be worried."

Mingzhu laughed and said: "Mr. Yu Shan is not a fool. With such a granddaughter-in-law, there’s no peaceful life. It’s better to return to the Capital City. Although I don’t know about others in the Capital City, at least you’re reliable. Right?"

Yueyao nodded: "So knowing that the teacher plans to retire in the Capital City, I breathed a sigh of relief too."

Mingzhu laughed and said: "Alright, let’s not talk about this anymore. My husband praises Teacher Li’s knowledge, so let the two children study with Teacher Li!"

Yueyao nodded and then said: "Mingzhu, there’s something I’d like to trouble you with."

Mingzhu patted Yueyao’s back and teased: "Why be so formal between us? Feel free to say what you need. As long as I can do it, I won’t hesitate."

Yueyao felt a bit embarrassed and said: "Gu Zhe has been busy managing my art exhibition. I found this child quite capable, so I want to help him find a future. Could you ask Niu Yanghui if there’s a suitable position?" In Jiangnan, Niu Yanghui is the only one with such ability.

Mingzhu, knowing that Gu Zhe is also a Juren, nodded and said: "Alright, I’ll ask him tonight."

Yueyao felt she had broken too many rules today: "If it’s difficult, don’t force it." She just felt Gu Zhe was good and wanted to help him a bit. But if it puts Niu Yanghui in a difficult position, there’s nothing to be done.

Mingzhu teased: "Why speak like outsiders. Don’t worry, I’ll make sure he handles this well for you."

After Mingzhu left, Xiang Wei said: "You didn’t even ask Gu Zhe. What if he doesn’t want to go into officialdom?" If Gu Zhe doesn’t want to pursue an official career, Yueyao would have wasted her favor.

Yueyao said: "If Gu Zhe didn’t want to go into officialdom, he wouldn’t be burying his head in studying. If it’s not for fame and fortune, why work so hard."

Xiang Wei deliberately asked: "How can you be so sure he won’t continue to take the exams? What if he wants to continue and succeed in the palace exams. Wouldn’t you have wasted an opportunity this time?"

Yueyao shook her head helplessly and said: "If he could succeed in the palace exams, the teacher wouldn’t have specifically asked him to help with the art exhibition, but let him study hard at home." Mr. Yu Shan’s behavior already indicated that the hope of Gu Zhe succeeding in the palace exams was very slim.
