Gu Jiangli was filled with surprise, but gradually she saw Nan Yu clearly.

She prided herself on knowing her son well, but if Nan Yu hadn't spoken these things to her personally today, it would probably have taken her and Jiang Huaizhi a long time to find out.

Nan Yu truly lives up to the reputation of having Jiang Huaizhi's blood flowing through his veins. His personality is eight parts similar to Jiang Huaizhi's, especially in terms of forbearance.

Jiang Huaizhi could wait so many years to get revenge, and Nan Yu could also wait patiently for Luming Academy to kick Wuyou out of the academy in order to take revenge on Wuyou.

Wuyou, despite being secretly dealt with so many times, was completely unaware that it was Nanyu who was targeting him, and even felt smug about being able to bully Nanyu.

Gu Jiangli had never seen such cunning in a three-year-old child.

But Nan Yu did it.

Looking at his parents' shocked faces, Nan Yu said, "I've explained everything clearly. Can you please stop interfering in my and Wuyou's affairs?"

Jiang Huaizhi was the first to agree: "Yes, Father knew that Wuyou could not possibly harm my Nanyu."

He smiled broadly, his brows furrowed with pride, for he had already seen his own reflection in Nan Yu.

Nan Yu opened his big eyes wide and said, "Father, could you please reduce the number of your informants? There are too many, and it's quite troublesome to do things while hiding from your eyes and ears."

Jiang Huaizhi didn't hesitate and waved his hand, "Nanyu, those spies can't be taken back, but your father can give them to you. From now on, you can arrange jobs for them however you like, how about it?"

Gu Jiangli suddenly spoke up: "Huaizhi, Nanyu is still too young. Isn't it too early to let him take over your subordinates at this time?"

Jiang Huaizhi looked confident, but before he could speak, Nan Yu interrupted, "Mother, it's late. Father wants to send those people to me, and I have no objection. I will make proper arrangements for them."

Jiang Huai was overjoyed: "Jiang Li, look, our son has had this idea for a long time. If he wants it, let him have it."

Once the father and son had made their decision, Gu Jiangli no longer objected.

She then turned to Nan Yu and asked, "Nan Yu, your mother wants to ask, now that these men are in your hands, how do you plan to use them?"

Nan Yu raised an eyebrow, not hiding his thoughts: "Let them keep an eye on Wuyou, and find out about Wuyou's embarrassing moment at Luming Academy. It will also add some fun to my boring life."

Nan Yu had clearly already planned his next move and was ready to watch the show unfold.

Seeing this, Gu Jiangli could only smile helplessly, sit down to the side, and agree to the father and son's plan.

A few days later, news came that Luming Academy had invited Wuyou to study there.

The city lord's wife was overjoyed and held another grand banquet to celebrate Wuyou's admission to Luming Academy.

Everyone was shocked, because in their eyes, the young master who should have been able to enter Luming Academy should have been Nan Yu, not the good-for-nothing Wu You.

Although everyone was surprised, they still offered their congratulations to Wuyou on the surface.

Meanwhile, Gu Jiangli and Jiang Huaiyi's family resumed their comfortable meals at the banquet, completely ignoring the pitying looks from others.

Gu Jiangli could guess pretty much what they were pitying. They simply thought Wuyou was unworthy to be a student of Luming Academy and lamented that Nanyu couldn't go to that prestigious institution to study.

But neither Gu Jiangli nor Jiang Huaizhi felt anything was wrong.

Because they all knew what was going to happen next.

At the banquet, the city lord's wife led Wuyou to the main seat. Her face was full of pride as she lavishly praised Wuyou's talent and outstanding abilities, extolling him to the skies, saying he was unparalleled in the world. In the end, however, all the praise fell on herself.

In conclusion, it was because of her teaching that Wuyou was able to become so outstanding.

These words drew thunderous applause, but Gu Jiangli gripped the ground with her toes, and several times she considered leaving her seat.

Fortunately, Jiang Huaizhi was there to take care of her, letting her focus on eating and try to ignore all other noises.

After the banquet, news of Wuyou's entry into Luming Academy will soon spread to every corner of Qingfeng City.

The more proud the city lord's wife is now, the more painful it will be when she is proven wrong in the future.

On the second day of the banquet, Wuyou left the city lord's mansion and went to Luming Academy.

From that day on, the city lord's wife's face was always beaming with smiles.

His smug smile never drooped.

To show off to Gu Jiangli and Jiang Huaizhi, she would either invite them to her room for dinner or bring gifts to the small building to chat with Gu Jiangli.

When they met, they talked about nothing but "being carefree".

"Jiang Li, as you know, after Wuyou arrived at Luming Academy, several teachers were vying to teach him his lessons."

"Those with real talent will always meet a mentor."

"Wuyou has beautiful handwriting, and the word choice and sentence structure of her articles have almost become the model for Luming Academy."

"The Master said that a student like him is one in a hundred years; he is a natural-born scholar."

"Sigh, I just don't know which academy Nanyu will go to study at in the future. After all, Luming Academy is the best in Qingfeng City. Maybe I should choose a slightly less prestigious one for him?"

“As his mother, you can’t be too picky. If you keep picking and choosing, it’s good enough if an academy is willing to accept him. After all, Nan Yu has been very unruly since he was a child. If we send him to a famous academy and let the teachers there know the true nature of our young master, it would be too embarrassing. What do you think?”

Gu Jiangli smiled faintly and remained silent.

She knew what the city lord's wife was planning.

If Nan Yu were to study at a place inferior to Luming Academy, she would become even more arrogant.

The city lord's wife did all this to prove that she was capable of raising children, at least better than Gu Jiangli.

Ideally, she wanted to make Gu Jiangli regret why Nan Yu was so disobedient back then. She wanted to tell Gu Jiangli that if Nan Yu hadn't been naughty and willful and upset her, Nan Yu might be the one entering Luming Academy now.

Gu Jiangli smiled faintly, knowing her intentions but not revealing them to her.

“Madam City Lord, Nan Yu’s aptitude is not good enough. Let’s wait a bit longer before he enters the academy.”

"Why wait? As his mother, shouldn't you be concerned about this? Nan Yu's talent is mediocre. There are plenty of good academies in Qingfeng City. Letting Nan Yu go there to study would be entirely beneficial for him. What are you so worried about that you're clinging to him like this?"

“Nan Yu is still young…”

"He's almost four years old, is he still too young? Do you really want to wait until Wuyou finishes his studies and returns before considering the academy for Nanyu? It will be too late by then! How about this, I'll arrange Nanyu's entry into the academy. I've heard that Baitong Academy is good, I'll have someone contact them."
