Jiang Huai didn't ask any more questions, and Gu Jiangli didn't say anything more either. It was quite rare for him to understand such disgust.
After the 100-day celebration, the city lord's wife was filled with resentment and treated Gu Jiangli and his family even colder.
Now everyone in the city is saying that Wuyou is no match for Nanyu, and that Wuyou's future growth will definitely not surpass Nanyu's.
These words naturally angered the city lord's wife.
In her mind, Wuyou must be more capable than Nanyu.
With this in mind, she raised Wuyou with utmost care.
Disappointingly, however, Wuyou's subsequent growth was always one step behind Nanyu's.
Nan Yu has started walking, while Wu You has just learned to crawl.
Nan Yu can already speak in complete sentences, and Wu You can now use human names.
Nan Yu has already learned to recite complete poems, while Wu You has only just learned to write her own name.
In short, every step Wuyou took followed Nanyu.
When the two were three years old, the Deer Cry Academy in the city began to enroll students.
Luming Academy is the most prestigious academy in Qingfeng.
Most of the people trained there went to work in the capital, a place that many people desperately wanted to get into.
Once you enter, you'll become the envy of everyone else.
The city lord's wife naturally wouldn't let this opportunity slip by.
She went to great lengths and used her connections to try and get Jiang Wuyou imprisoned.
However, Luming Academy doesn't care about connections; it only cares about the quality of their students' writing.
So the city lord's wife's plan failed.
With no other choice, she could only follow the rules of Luming Academy and have Wuyou complete the essay assigned by the academy.
Meanwhile, Gu Jiangli also learned of this news.
Jiang Huaizhi said calmly, "My mother is still so biased. When Luming Academy sent a letter to the City Lord's Mansion recruiting disciples, which even included the topic of the essay, she secretly took the letter without saying a word."
Gu Jiangli was not surprised at all: "The more people know, the less likely Wuyou is to enter Luming Academy, so of course she doesn't want to say more."
"Jiang Li, do you want Nan Yu to study at the academy? Actually, Luming Academy is indeed a pretty good academy."
"It depends on whether Nan Yu wants to go or not. If he doesn't want to go, there's no point in us thinking about it."
Jiang Huaizhi seemed to have understood Gu Jiangli's thoughts long ago, a mischievous smile hidden in his eyes: "As Nanyu's mother, you've known him well since he was little. Why don't you try to guess what Nanyu is thinking? Do you think he would want to go?"
Gu Jiangli narrowed her eyes slightly and smiled faintly: "I guess Nan Yu doesn't want to go."
"Oh? Why?"
“Luming Academy is too far away, and Nan Yu is homesick, so there’s a good chance he doesn’t want to go.”
Gu Jiangli spouted a bunch of nonsense, which made Jiang Huaizhi laugh.
At this moment, Nan Yu was led in from outside by He Hua.
He had a baby face with pink cheeks, and although he had a very well-behaved appearance, his expression was indifferent and calm.
"Mother, Father." His voice was also cold, as if it carried a sense of detachment. "I don't miss home."
Nan Yu's expression was solemn, and he spoke separately to refute Gu Jiangli's previous remarks.
Gu Jiangli blinked and said somewhat embarrassedly, "Nanyu, your mother is just talking nonsense. Your mother knows that you have a wider world in the new China. Just take it as a joke."
Jiang Huaizhi looked at him with a mocking expression, watching quietly without saying a word.
Nan Yu nodded, acting like a little adult, "Mother, is Wuyou going to Luming Academy?"
"You found out?"
"I've heard about it."
"Oh dear, that's still uncertain. With Wuyou's abilities, she's still a bit short of getting into Luming Academy."
“I can help him.”
At this moment, Gu Jiangli and Jiang Huaizhi were both taken aback, "Why?"
Nan Yu answered very seriously, "Because I want to help him, is that not allowed?"
"Yes, it's possible. Do you and Wuyou get along well?"
"So-so," Nan Yu said calmly. "Mother, please don't worry about it. As long as you and Father don't object, I'll do what I want."
Gu Jiangli and Jiang Huaizhi shook their heads simultaneously: "No objection."
"Um."
Nan Yu uttered a single word and then walked out the door.
Gu Jiangli and Jiang Huaizhi stared at Nan Yu's departing figure, their expressions filled with disbelief.
"Huaizhi, Nanyu...when did you become so concerned about Wuyou's affairs?"
"I haven't heard of that. Aren't they supposed to be so rare that you rarely even see them?"
"Yes, that doesn't make sense. Has something happened that you and I don't know about?"
Jiang Huaizhi also thought this statement was very correct.
"Huaiyu, go and investigate. I need to know what exactly happened between Nanyu and Wuyou."
Huaiyu clasped his hands in a fist salute and immediately accepted the order: "Yes."
————
The backyard of the city lord's mansion.
Nan Yu stood under a pear tree, seemingly having waited for a long time.
Not long after, a boy of similar height appeared behind him.
"Heh, you're here early!"
Wuyou walked over with her hands behind her back, looking arrogant and nonchalant.
Nan Yu turned around, not even looking at him directly, and said, "I won't go back on my word."
"Oh? You're acting strangely this time. Didn't you used to ignore me? What's wrong with you now? Have you suddenly become more perceptive?"
Nan Yu said no more and took out a few sheets of paper from his pocket.
"Here's what you wanted, I've written it down. Give this to Luming Academy, and getting you into the academy won't be a problem."
Wuyou glanced at it and sneered, "Are you really willing? If I get into Luming Academy, you'll never be able to stand above me again."
