Lu Baozhu understood after hearing what Lu Yiling said, "It's not that easy to cut ties with the Ning family. Not to mention that Third Aunt is a Ning family member, the Shen and Ning families have been closely connected for many years, like grasshoppers tied to the same rope. Cutting ties will definitely hurt a lot."
Lu Yiling said slowly: "Aunt, I am giving you this advice for the sake of you and my aunt. You know which one to choose, right?
Grandmother Ning shouldn't have helped her family anymore. Aunt Ning Ji still hasn't recovered from the damage she inflicted on her younger aunt, and the Ning family is also helping the murderer. The Chu family is quite merciful, acting so slowly. If I were to seek revenge, I would have wiped out the entire Ning family! It's a pity my uncle wouldn't let me get involved!"
Lu Baozhu hit Lu Yiling on the head with the round fan in her hand: "You have become more capable."
Lu Yiling put down her sister, covered her forehead and said, "The Ning family deserves it. When you go back, persuade your uncle to cut ties with them as soon as possible. There's no need to implicate the Shen family for the Ning family."
Lu Baozhu asked, "Does the Ning family know that this is because of the harem struggle?"
"They must have known about it." Lu Yiling said, "Aunt, I'll show you a way. Instead of sending the girl your Shen family has spent so much effort raising into the palace, it's better to send her to the Chu family... The Chu family will probably spare the Shen family for their sincerity."
Lu Baozhu smiled and said, "How could you possibly place a concubine next to your own wet nurse's husband?"
Lu Yiling said, "Oh, I'm not talking about Chu Yan. I'm talking about Chu Che, the future head of the Chu family. Chu Che is only a month older than me, and he's old enough to find a wife. Look, I still miss him, but he has completely forgotten the oath he made to be my lifelong guard."
Lu Baozhu asked doubtfully, "Chu Che? Is that the little boy who snatched the steamed bun from his mouth at your first birthday celebration? He'll be fifteen in a few days, right? Isn't it too early for a man to get married at fifteen?"
Lu Yiling said, "It is precisely because he is only fifteen that the beauty from your Shen family can be of use. Send her to him, and maybe you can spare the Shen family this time."
Qi Yuning said, "It's been five years since we last met. I thought they would be back soon, but I didn't expect that they still haven't returned in five years."
Lu Yiling smiled faintly and said, "I heard from Xiuxiu that the wet nurse's health is gradually getting better. After holding her grandson, the wet nurse is getting happier and happier. Maybe I will be able to see the wet nurse soon!"
Qi Yuning asked, "Do you want to go to Yangzhou to see your wet nurse?"
Lu Yiling looked at Qi Yuning and said, "Is it okay?"
Qi Yuning said calmly, "Of course you can. You're almost coming of age. When you grow up, mother wants to gradually hand over my business to you. How about you go to Yangzhou with your uncles and aunts to do business and visit your wet nurse while you're there?"
Lu Yiling said, "Mother, I don't want to inherit your assets, nor do I want to take over the huge business of Prince Qi's Mansion. My younger brother likes these things, but I prefer to go to the court and help my uncle handle official affairs and solve problems..."
Lu Baozhu smiled at Qi Yuning and said, "Your two children have opposite personalities. Xiu'er has no interest in the twists and turns of court officials and is only interested in making money, while Lingling wants to join the court."
Qi Yuning sighed and said, "Lingling, you know it's not easy to be a female official. From ancient times to the present, there are only a handful of female officials."
Lu Yiling said, "I will serve as an official in the imperial court. My uncle promised me that."
Qi Yuning didn't try to persuade her any further. She had always been very indulgent towards Lingling. "Then you can also go to Yangzhou. When your cousin comes back, have him take you with him so that he can take care of you on the way."
"Thank you, mother!" Lu Yiling was looking forward to Qi Zhiyuan's return.
The next day, Lu Yiling went to the palace and told Chu Chi the good news that she was going to Yangzhou, which made the little Princess Shi Yi, who had just turned four years old, also yearn for it.
"Sister Lingling, can Ah Shi go to Yangzhou with you? Ah Shi hasn't met his grandmother, uncle, and aunt yet."
Lu Yiling held Shi Yi in her arms and said, "Sure, as long as your parents agree, I can take you with me. Then I can bring my sister with me so that you and Yi Le can accompany you on the journey."
Little Ah Shi looked at Chu Chi, and Chu Chi shook his head calmly: "No Ah Shi, the road to Yangzhou is too far, and you are too young. Mother is worried."
Lu Yiling promised, "Aunt, don't worry. As long as Ah Shi is here, I will consider Ah Shi more important than my own life!"
Little Ah Shi blinked his pitiful eyes and looked at Chu Chi, "Mother, mother, Ah Shi wants to see grandma, uncle, and aunt."
Chu Chi whispered, "No."
Little Ah Shi shed tears one by one, looking so pitiful. Lu Yiling coaxed him, "Don't cry, don't cry. Let's go and ask your father for permission. If your father agrees to let you go, your mother will have to agree."
Little Ah Shi was even more disappointed. "Daddy listens to Mommy. If Mommy doesn't allow Ah Shi to do something, Daddy will definitely not allow it either."
"How pitiful! You and I are in the same boat. Daddy always listens to Mom."
"But my mother is willing to let me go to Yangzhou, hehe!"
Lu Yiling put down little A'shi from her arms, and when she heard little A'shi crying, she left Fengyi Palace.
Chu Chi chuckled as he held little Ah Shi in his arms and said, "Your cousin is about to reach marriage age, yet she's still so childish."
However, it is a blessing to be able to act childishly even after reaching the age of 15.
Little Ah Shi said aggrievedly: "Let's go to Yangzhou."
Chu Chi stroked little Ah Shi's head. It had been five years, almost five years. Didn't she miss her mother, brothers, and sisters? She hadn't even seen her nephew, who had just turned two.
Lu Yiling is almost coming of age, and her younger sister Xiaoxiao should be a grown-up girl now.
