Chapter 538: Little Ah Yu Goes on a Study Excursion
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
On the 12th of June, w.a.n.g Chuanman brought back a piece of news for w.a.n.g Aibao. “Zao’er has already been adopted by a rich family and is living a good life.”
Previously, when w.a.n.g Chuanman brought Zhou Chuchu back to the w.a.n.g Family, w.a.n.g Aibao had asked for w.a.n.g Chuanman’s help.
Old Madam w.a.n.g also told w.a.n.g Aibao the truth. “Previously, Magistrate Wei sent someone to tell me that the county magistrate of that area had joined forces with the local gentries to cause trouble in Yongfu Village. Thinking about it, as the family member of a criminal official, Zao’er will be sentenced to exile.”
w.a.n.g Aibao was so frightened that her face turned pale. “Then will something happen to Zao’er?”
“Of course it’s fine. You were just following that local gentry without a proper status, so you can’t be considered family. You just treat Zao’er as your child.” This is a loophole in the law, but it’s not impossible to make use of it.
It’s just that it’s not appropriate for Zao’er to appear in front of you again, lest he’s discovered by the people that recognize you in the past. It won’t be good for you or Zao’er. I’ve already asked Magistrate Wei to take care of him and get someone to find him a rich and good family. I guarantee that it’ll be much better than the original family and they will definitely treat him well.”
Actually, Old Madam w.a.n.g had retained some information.
For example, Zao’er was not taken away by Magistrate Wei, but by General Zhang.
After General Zhang found Zao’er, he searched for a period of time but could not find w.a.n.g Aibao and Princess Yong Chang. He could only leave a small number of people behind and bring Zao’er back home first.
During this period, he naturally came to see Magistrate Wei again. Magistrate Wei deliberately said something confusing to mislead him and asked General Zhang to bring Zao’er back. He also asked him to bring his men away and let him continue to investigate the rest.
Coupled with the help of the Jiang Family, General Zhang did not suspect anything and left.
Zao’er was brought back to Duke Yong Manor. The moment the old Duke Yong saw Zao’er, he determined that he was the bloodline of their Zhang family.
This was because the thin Zao’er looked very much like the young Princess Yong Chang.
Coupled with his taciturn personality, he was simply carved from the same mold!
That was his great-grandson. Duke Yong would naturally treat him well.
However, these words would not be said to w.a.n.g Aibao now.
w.a.n.g Aibao was worried and asked w.a.n.g Chuanman to help her ask around. The information w.a.n.g Chuanman found was all given by Magistrate Wei and the Jiang Family, so it was naturally not much different from Old Madam w.a.n.g’s words.
w.a.n.g Chuanman’s words completely relieved w.a.n.g Aibao. Although she was still reluctant, she did not dwell on it.
Mothers were fated with their children. If there was a chance in the future, they would naturally meet again.
After letting go of the knot in her heart, w.a.n.g Aibao apologized to Old Madam w.a.n.g solemnly again and borrowed 500 taels of silver from her.
She wanted to open a shop in the prefecture capital that mainly dealt in children’s snacks. Many of them were once Zao’er’s favorites.
Now, Little Ah Yu and the others also liked to eat it.
Seeing that w.a.n.g Aibao had her own plans, Old Madam w.a.n.g did not stop her and even asked the family to help her. A small Zao’er Snacks stall opened in the prefecture capital.
As the days pa.s.sed, it was Little Ah Yu’s birthday again.
Old man w.a.n.g also brought the eldest branch, w.a.n.g Wulang, and w.a.n.g Liulang to the prefecture capital to celebrate with Little Ah Yu.
They could also partic.i.p.ate in w.a.n.g Erlang’s marriage.
The day after her birthday was w.a.n.g Erlang and Jiang Wujing’s marriage.
Old man w.a.n.g’s house was lively for four to five days before it completely quietened down. Even the energetic Little Ah Yu’s face was stiff from laughing with the young guests.
In the blink of an eye, it was the 23rd of August, when the children were preparing to go on their school excursion.
The original team was w.a.n.g Erlang, w.a.n.g Sanlang, w.a.n.g Silang, and w.a.n.g Qilang. They brought Little Ah Yu, Tang Yuan, and Yong Shun. Of course, there was also the hidden Chi Tu, Chi She, and Chi Ding.
In the end, w.a.n.g Erlang did not want to leave because he’d just gotten married.
w.a.n.g Silang was worried that Zhou Chuchu would be unhappy at home alone, so he also did not leave.
Qin Huai volunteered to accompany Little Ah Yu.
w.a.n.g Wulang rolled around and insisted on following.
Therefore, in the end, the team became w.a.n.g Sanlang, w.a.n.g Wulang, w.a.n.g Qilang, Little Ah Yu and Qin Huai.
As her personal servant, Tang Yuan naturally had to follow.
On the other hand, Zhou Chuchu’s two maidservants, Han Yu and Han Xiang, looked on eagerly, wanting her to follow them on this excursion.
How good was it to go out and play? Wasn’t it better than marrying into someone else’s family?
Zhou Chuchu smiled and looked at Han Yu. “Your name clashes with All Yu’s.
From now on, your name will not be Han Yu. It’ll be Han Jian.”
When you live under someone else’s roof, you should keep your mouth shut.
Han Jian: “…Yes..”
