Unlimited Resources: Raising a Minister with a Space Supermarket-Chapter 507 - 452: The Special Deyang Town

Yu Xiaolian naturally picked up on Yu Zishu’s probing within his words, but having told many lies before, Yu Xiaolian was already very experienced. She remained composed and said calmly, "I learned some words from my father before; never thought I had anything special. After leaving River Bay, I tried business, and when I started bookkeeping, I found I was quick and accurate with accounts. Hehe, maybe it’s because of past poverty, I have a sensitivity to money. Now, I’ve earned the title of Mathematics Officer, making my cousin laugh."

Yu Zishu had no intention of investigating how Yu Xiaolian became a seventh-rank officer. Whether Yu Xiaolian relied on himself or Su Jingchen, it had no impact on him.

Or perhaps, Yu Xiaolian becoming a seventh-rank officer was actually beneficial to him.

No matter the means, it was Yu Xiaolian’s ability that made it possible; his cousin was no longer the little troublemaker or scapegoat of their childhood.

"How are Uncle and Aunt?" Yu Zishu began to steer the conversation toward family matters with Yu Xiaolian.

"Hmm, they’re doing well. How about Uncle and Aunt?" Yu Xiaolian responded.

"They are also good; in fact, they live here in Yangcheng. You should visit them when you have time," Yu Zishu believed it was important to maintain a friendly sibling relationship with Yu Xiaolian.

"Okay, I’ll definitely visit when I have time," Yu Xiaolian outwardly agreed, though internally, she didn’t desire any connection with the Yu Family.

"What’s Yu Ziyi up to now? Has he married?" Yu Xiaolian was somewhat curious.

"He’s married," Yu Zishu didn’t want to discuss Yu Ziyi much with Yu Xiaolian; he felt disappointed with his brother who had become a live-in son-in-law and hardly interacted with him for years.

Yu Ziyi going to be a live-in son-in-law was a disgraceful act he wished no one to know.

"What happened to your forehead?" Yu Zishu had noticed Yu Xiaolian’s forehead injury early on, debated internally for a moment, then couldn’t help but ask.

"Oh, it’s a minor accident!" Yu Xiaolian didn’t elaborate when talking with Yu Zishu.

Yu Zishu pursed his lips, "Did he hit you?"

Yu Xiaolian was startled for a moment and quickly shook her head, "No, it was due to something else."

Seeing Yu Zishu seemingly disbelieving her words, Yu Xiaolian added, "Su Jingchen... he treats me well!"

Yu Zishu frowned, observing Yu Xiaolian’s efforts to defend Su Jingchen, feeling a bit saddened.

"Why didn’t you ask if I’m married?"

Yu Xiaolian was shocked, recalling the special feelings Yu Zishu had for Yu Xiaolian in the book.

"Is it possible that my cousin is still single after all these years?" Yu Xiaolian was incredulous.

If she remembered correctly, Yu Zishu was five years older than her and now twenty-four; how could he not be married?

Even if Yu Zishu didn’t want to marry, Mrs. Cao and Yu Changfu wouldn’t agree to that!

Yu Zishu looked at Yu Xiaolian with a complex gaze, saying slowly, "I’m married. Your little nephew is already three years old!"

Yes, he was married, though his wife wasn’t the one in his heart.

"Then, cousin, bring sister-in-law and nephew over sometime to get familiar!" Yu Xiaolian feigned a smile.

Having tangled with Qi Yunfan by Jun Mobai’s side for years, Yu Zishu could instantly discern who said what, having long sensed Yu Xiaolian’s unmasked perfunctory tone.

"Hmm!" Yu Zishu responded blandly.

He had initially intended to tell Yu Xiaolian if Su Jingchen bullied her, she could find him since she had family even in Northern Land. However, after careful thought, Yu Zishu refrained from speaking.

Perhaps they could only be siblings in name; neither could truly open their hearts again? 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

"Cousin, how did you become the Posthouse Minister in Deyang Town?" After much detour, Yu Xiaolian finally asked what she wanted to know.

Yu Zishu laughed, "During this year’s Spring Examination, I passed the secondary listing, securing a Scholar title."

Having studied for many years, Yu Zishu simply achieved a Scholar title. Knowing his limited talent, he felt further exams wasted time. Therefore, when Qi Yunfan contacted him, he chose without hesitation to be Jun Mobai’s strategist.

When Jun Mobai was not yet King of Linzhou, Yu Zishu was already with him. Now, being assigned as the minor Posthouse Minister in Deyang Town, naturally, there were other reasons, yet he wouldn’t disclose them to Yu Xiaolian.
