"Young Master, Madam, I've found out." Huaiyu's expression was grave, causing Gu Jiangli and Jiang Huaizhi to change their expressions.
"Judging from your expression, there really are many things we don't know?"
“Indeed.” Huaiyu said slowly, “For a long time now, Young Master Nanyu has been bullied by Young Master Wuyou.”
"Wuyou bullied Nanyu?" Gu Jiangli couldn't believe it. "How is that possible? Where did Wuyou get such abilities?"
She knew that Wuyou liked to bully people, but she also knew that her son Nanyu was not the type to be bullied easily.
Nan Yu is indeed usually quiet and reserved, but he is very shrewd!
How could I possibly be bullied by Wuyou?
Seeing that she was somewhat agitated, Jiang Huaizhi immediately advised, "Jiang Li, don't be hasty, listen first. Huaiyu, continue, what exactly happened?"
Huaiyu paused briefly, organizing her thoughts, and then said:
"Young Master and Madam often prepare food for Young Master Nanyu, but most of it is snatched away by Young Master Wuyou. Every time he snatches it, it's when the City Lord's wife is nearby, so Young Master Nanyu basically doesn't object."
"Furthermore, Young Master Wuyou would often deliberately soil Young Master Nanyu's clothes to embarrass him."
"Furthermore, Young Master Nanyu's homework has been torn up by Young Master Wuyou many times, and the teachers in the City Lord's Mansion also know about this."
The more Gu Jiangli listened, the more her brows furrowed.
Previously, in order to prevent Nan Yu from having too much contact with Wu You, they rejected the city lord's wife's suggestion to have the two children study with the same tutor, and instead hired a tutor for Nan Yu alone.
Unexpectedly, even so, Wuyou still privately caused trouble for Nanyu.
And they were completely unaware of it.
"Huaizhi, you really don't know these things?"
Huai Zhi's face was also very ugly. "I don't know. Logically speaking, the city lord's mansion is full of my spies. There's no reason why I wouldn't know these things."
The two looked at Huaiyu simultaneously. Huaiyu shrugged. "Young Master, Madam, it's true that there are many spies in the city, but my men really don't know anything about this. I only found out from someone who isn't one of our subordinates."
After hearing Huaiyu's words, both of them looked quite unpleasant.
It turns out that there were things Jiang Huaizhi didn't know about in the city lord's mansion.
And Nan Yu's unusual behavior was finally explained.
Gu Jiangli said in a deep voice, "Huaizhi, it seems that Nanyu doesn't really want to help Wuyou. Maybe Wuyou threatened him with something, forcing him to help Wuyou."
Jiang Huaizhi did not object to this either, "I will not let Wuyou enter Luming Academy, absolutely not!"
He stood up and was about to leave when Nan Yu entered.
"Father, you're looking all high and mighty, where are you headed?"
Nan Yu's eyes were cold, with a hint of doubt in them.
Jiang Huaizhi suppressed his fierce aura and smiled, "Father has some things to do. Nanyu, play with Mother for a while. Father will come back to keep you company later."
Nan Yu's eyes swept over everyone in front of him, finally settling on Huai Yu.
He shook his head and pulled Jiang Huaizhi back from leaving.
"Is Father going to see the City Lord's wife?"
Jiang Huai was taken aback. He had never heard Nan Yu use the title "City Lord's Wife" before; she always called him "Grandmother."
He sensed something was wrong, so he crouched down. "How did you know?"
"Father, are you going to stop Wuyou from entering Luming Academy?"
Upon hearing this, even Gu Jiangli was somewhat surprised and stood up.
“Nanyu, we didn’t know that Wuyou had bullied you like that before, but now that we know, of course we can’t let his dream come true.”
Gu Jiangli hurriedly added, "Yes, Nanyu, Father and I know you don't really want to help him. Since that's the case, then don't help him. We have ways to get revenge for you."
"Father, Mother, you're really overthinking it."
"Why would you overthink it? We know about all the things Wuyou did to you."
Nan Yu sighed helplessly: "Even if Wuyou really bullied me, Father and Mother don't need to intervene. My matter with Wuyou is a matter between the younger generation, and we have our own way of handling it."
His calm and composed demeanor was unlike that of a three-year-old child; he seemed more like a worldly-wise adult.
A possibility that Gu Jiangli had never considered suddenly popped into his mind.
Given Nan Yu's shrewdness, the chances of him being bullied are extremely slim.
Given Jiang Huai's connections within the City Lord's Mansion, the possibility of Nan Yu being bullied without Jiang Huai noticing is extremely slim.
So, there's another possibility...
"Nan Yu, you knew all along where your father's spies were, so you deliberately avoided them and got bullied by Wu You?"
Nan Yu nodded: "I did evade Father's eyes and ears, but I really don't think I was bullied. I secretly returned all the bad things Wuyou did to me."
"How did you return it secretly?" Gu Jiangli asked.
"For example, if he tears up my homework, his homework will also be torn to shreds by a stray cat that night; if he steals my food, he will frequently go to the toilet that night and become exhausted from defecating; if he soils my clothes, the clothes he wears the next day will definitely have several big holes, and so on."
"He thought he was bullying me, he thought I was terrified of him, but in reality, he didn't get the better of me at all."
“Mother, Father, we children have our own way of handling things, you really don’t need to interfere.”
Gu Jiangli and Jiang Huaizhi were stunned.
Their understanding of Yu the Great truly changed.
Previously, they only thought of Nan Yu as a relatively introverted, calm, aloof, and somewhat precocious child.
But now, they have discovered that his shrewdness, his cunning, and his abilities have far exceeded their comprehension.
Gu Jiangli swallowed hard.
Who did Nan Yu learn from?
I'm afraid they've learned all the tricks and cunning of both her and Jiang Huaizhi.
Did you learn it thoroughly while you were still in your mother's womb?
"Nanyu... Alright, we won't interfere in your and Wuyou's affairs anymore. But Mother really wants to ask, why did you help Wuyou get into Luming Academy?"
"Because he wants to go, I'll grant his wish."
"No other ideas?"
Nan Yu pondered for a moment and said, "Actually, there is. As the saying goes, if one's virtue does not match one's position, disaster will surely follow. I wrote the essay he wrote to enter the academy. At that time, the teachers of the academy will surely think that he is a very knowledgeable person. But before long, they will find out that Wuyou's true colors are that of a good-for-nothing who can't even write his own name properly."
"I've heard that in the hundred years since Luming Academy was founded, no student has ever been expelled from the academy, but perhaps Wuyou will be the first?"
