Hearing Gu Yu’s words, Ning Yue paused in her eating. She seed to suddenly understand. “Master, thank you,” Ning Yue said apologetically.

Although she didn’t know exactly what her grandmother was going to do, she was willing to do her best to protect her. “Second Brother and Cousin, I want to ask you to do a favor.”

“Cousin, what do you want Cousin to help you with?” Liu Xuan’s expression turned serious when he saw Ning Yue’s serious expression.

“You all want to take the path of a general. The General’s Residence can help you, but you should have heard about what happened in the General’s Residence recently. The emperor has exiled everyone except General Zhenbei, and my grandmother has returned to the General’s Residence at this ti. I’m worried about her. If you choose to go to the General’s Residence, I want you to take good care of my grandmother,” Ning Yue said.

Although she did not want to admit it, at the mont, it was the best choice for Liu Xuan and Erlang to stay in the General’s Residence. Not only could it pave the way for their future, but it could also give her grandmother an additional guarantee.

Hearing Ning Yue’s words, Liu Xuan and Erlang looked at each other.

“Yueyue, we’re still outsiders after all. It’s a little unreasonable for us to stay in the general’s residence,” Erlang said.

Ning Yue smiled. “What’s wrong with that? Cousin is from my mother’s family, and Second Brother is from the Ning Family Village. If it weren’t for Grandfather picking up back then, I’m afraid I would have starved to death outside.”

Only Old Master Ning, Gu Yu, Madam He, and Jiang Ying knew that she had been sent to the Ning family village by Liu Yun. She did not intend to tell anyone else too much.

“I’m the only legitimate young miss of the General Residence. You’re my benefactors and my family. It’s only right for the General Residence to keep you,” Ning Yue said.

“This…” Erlang thought for a mont and did not dare to make a decision imdiately until Jiang Ying said, “If you stay in the general’s residence and beco officials in the future, won’t you be able to support Ning Yue in the future?”

“That’s right. Prince Jiang is right. You know the benefits of staying in the capital. As n, career achievents are the most important.” Gu Yu also persuaded them.

Only then did the two of them agree to stay in the General’s Residence.

After dinner, Madam He went to Ning Yue’s room. Ning Yue was teaching the two children to speak.

Seeing the two babies, a smile appeared on Madam He’s face. “Xiaobao and Xiaobei have improved a lot these past few days. They know how to talk a lot.”

“That’s right, Mother. Why are you looking for ?” Ning Yue asked.

At this ti, Madam He was usually resting. Unless she had sothing to do, she rarely ca to Ning Yue’s room.

“I’m worried that others will gossip about your second brother if he stays. After all, he’s not your cousin.” She was most worried that Erlang would be young and rash. If he heard others talking about how he couldn’t control himself, he would probably cause trouble.

“Mother, it’s up to others to say what they want. As long as Second Brother is doing well, it’s enough.”

Ning Yue’s consolation did not comfort Madam He. She sighed. “I don’t know what to say. I keep feeling that this isn’t good.”

“Mother, Second Brother is already old. He’ll decide if he wants to stay or not. Moreover, Second Brother’s dream is to beco a general. Staying in the General’s Residence is the best choice. It’s not that I look down on Second Brother. He doesn’t have any help outside and can only rely on himself to fight alone. It’s too difficult to stand out. Second Brother might only reach the starting point in the end.”

In this era, imperial power was paramount. Without any power, one was destined to have no right to speak.

Hearing Ning Yue’s words, Madam He no longer felt conflicted. “Alright, then if we miss them in the future, we can go over and take a look.”

“Yes, we can enter the capital to see them anyti,” Ning Yue said with a smile.

“Mother, we’re going back tomorrow. Do you have anything you want to buy?” Ning Yue changed the topic.

At the ntion of buying things, Madam He thought of the gifts from the five carriages today. She said speechlessly, “Well, what’s there to buy? You must have spent a lot of money buying so many things today. If you have money, save it and don’t spend it recklessly, understand?”
