The Grand Tutor's legitimate daughter is our Lord Fang's nominal mother and blood-related maternal aunt.

In other words, Madam Su and Madam Zhenbei are half-sisters, sharing the same father but different mothers.

The Grand Tutor is nominally our lord's maternal grandfather, and this Madam Su and Lord Su are our lord's nominal step-aunt and step-uncle.

When Chi Yu heard about these relationships, he was somewhat taken aback.

"Since Lord Su is on Lord Fang's side and is nominally related as his uncle, why not just train him?"

Why bother expending effort to cultivate Shen Zhaochen and Song Chongjin?

"Lord Su is already in his thirties or forties, while Shen Zhaochen and Song Chongjin are only in their early twenties."

We adults are a little younger than me, don't you think?

A new emperor brings a new court; the meaning is different each time!

Chi Yu already understood that the goal was to inject fresh blood into the court.

And this blood was his.

"Okay, I got it. But, Amu, I'll be busy here from now on."

Why don't you find someone to come and move these away?

I just happened to be going out for a bit, and I was thinking of selling these mints and river snails to Sister Qiao.

"Alright, then release all the fruit and call your sister-in-law out to take a look."

"good!"

When Chi Qiao came out, she was holding a bunch of grapes in her left hand and a pair of scissors in her right hand.

"Little Fish, what's this?"

"Sister-in-law, Amu is going to take a scientific expedition tonight. I want him to call someone over first to move those fruits away."

Otherwise, we'll have to wait a few more days before the prefect's wife brings people over to transport it.

I found it too much trouble, so I simply asked them to ship it away today.

Now I'm putting the things out; please keep an eye on them.

Amu needs to go to the government office, and I also need to go find Sister Qiao.

I want to sell her both the river snails and the mint.

Upon hearing this, Chi Qiao immediately handed the bunch of grapes in her hand to Chi Yu.

"These grapes are very sweet. Take them to Mrs. Qiao while you're at it, so she can have a sweet treat."

"Um!"

Chi Yu reached out and took the basket, then picked up a small basket, put two bayberries and two loquats in it, and then got into the carriage driven by Qin Mu and left.

When she arrived at Tongfu Restaurant, it was lunchtime.

Qiao did not return to Anping County; she has been spending most of her time at the restaurant these past few days.

When Chi Yu came over, she was standing at the second-floor window looking down.

Upon seeing the fish in the pond, his eyes lit up instantly.

"Little Fish Sister!"

She called out from the second floor, and after Chi Yu looked up, she turned around and went downstairs to greet her.

Chi Yu and her sister had been here before; the waiters and the manager of the restaurant all knew her.

Just as they were about to go upstairs to greet them, the landlord came downstairs.

"Little Fish Sister, isn't your Qin Mu supposed to take the imperial examination tomorrow? How come he has time to come over now?"

Chi Yu noticed that the restaurant was doing better than before; at least there were quite a few people coming to eat now.

Thinking of something, she opened the lid of the small basket, revealing a large piece of fruit inside.

“Look, Amu went out a few days ago and happened to come across a lot of imported goods.”

He bought all the fresh fruit.

These are for you, Sister Qiao, to try.

Don't be fooled by these grapes; some are green, some are red, but they're all perfectly ripe, plump, juicy, and sweet.

Qiao was a very clever man. When he heard Chi Yu say this on purpose and saw that people kept stopping to look over, he immediately had a plan.
