The emperor looked up at Wang Yu, smiled and waved his hand.

Wang Yu's resignation caused an uproar in the court. He was already a fourth-rank official at a young age. This time he returned to Beijing to report on his work. Dongyi's political achievements were so good that everyone thought he would be promoted even higher and might even join the cabinet. Unexpectedly, he resigned!

This left all the officials dumbfounded. They didn't know what Wang Yu was thinking. He had a bright future ahead of him, but he refused it.

Wang Yu didn't know what others were thinking, so he went home after completing the handover at the Ministry of Households.

Wang's father and mother had no objection to Wang Yu's resignation. They had already discussed the matter with them when Wang Yu came back. They were both old and didn't know how long they could live. It would be good for them to return to Yuxi Village, which was their root, the place where fallen leaves return to their roots.

However, Wang Yu did not go back so soon. Dabao was still studying in Beijing and would take the exam next year. He had been separated from him since childhood, so he must stay at home to accompany him this time.

Afterwards, he found a time to invite Zhang Siyuan and others to dinner. They were all friends for many years and did not say much about his resignation.

For the rest of the days, Wang Yu did not have to go to work. He stayed at home with Cheng Chen every day and taught Erbao to read. Wang Yu did not hire a teacher for Erbao because he had enough time to teach him himself.

After Wang Yu's official land was taken away by the court, he bought a farm and some fertile land on the outskirts of the capital.

Occasionally they would come to the farm to live and play. The king's father and mother mostly lived in the farm, growing vegetables, tending to the fields, etc., and they lived a very leisurely life.
