That woman had become quite arrogant with Qing Yukong’s help. Especially when she appeared before Wang Jinhe with a victorious attitude, it made Wang Jinhe find it quite ridiculous. When did this woman become so childish?
“What are you thinking, Xiao He?” Su Yu asked, noticing Wang Jinhe lost in thought and not speaking for a while.
Wang Jinhe shook her head with a smile, “Nothing.”
Su Yu leaned closer to Wang Jinhe, looking into her eyes with a hint of dissatisfaction, “Your eyes are telling me otherwise. If there’s something, just tell me.”
“Don’t worry, I can handle it myself. You have your battlefield, and I have mine,” Wang Jinhe didn’t intend to involve Su Yu, looking at him with a faint smile.
Seeing the faint smile on Wang Jinhe’s face, Su Yu wasn’t sure what she meant. However, he seemed to understand why she suddenly became interested in the matters concerning Gu Xiruo.
Wang Jingyu looked at Wang Jinhe, pondered for a moment, then spoke, “When I met Mother, she asked me to tell you that if you can’t directly kill Gu Xiruo, find a way to hand her over to them.”
“You can tell Mother, and she will come to help you directly when the time comes,” Wang Jingyu said earnestly to Wang Jinhe.
He shared this with Wang Jinhe just to let her know that no matter what happens, they are all still here.
As long as they were around, she wouldn’t have any problems.
“Plus, I’m not leaving yet. You can tell me anything, and I can help you too,” Su Yu added.
Wang Jinhe paused for a moment, then nodded with a smile, “Big Brother, I understand what you mean. But I still want to handle this matter on my own.”
Su Yu, looking displeased, glanced at Wang Jingyu beside him, “Xiao He has me by her side, that’s enough. I’ll help her with anything.”
“Don’t forget that you have to go to the border later,” being at the border meant he couldn’t intervene in matters here.
Su Yu was left speechless by Wang Jingyu’s words, and after a while, he finally spoke up, “Big Brother, don’t forget, you also have to go to the north. Once the palace exam is over, you have to return and then take up a position in the north.”
Wang Jingyu, like Su Yu, couldn’t stay in the capital city forever, yet he still had the audacity to say such things to him.
Where did this confidence come from?
Listening to Su Yu’s words, Wang Jingyu was suddenly speechless. What was the point of Su Yu challenging him like this?
Looking at Su Yu helplessly, Wang Jingyu said, “We are family. What’s the point of challenging me?”
“I’m just stating a fact to you, nothing more,” Su Yu said calmly to Wang Jingyu.
Wang Jingyu couldn’t help but chuckle at Su Yu’s audacity, surprised that he could say such things.
“So you’ll die if you don’t tease me, huh?” Wang Jingyu asked coldly, looking at Su Yu with a hint of annoyance.
Wang Jinhe, feeling exasperated, looked at the two and quickly intervened, “Alright, alright, why are you two bickering like roosters? I’m fine, and as for Gu Xiruo, I know how to deal with her. You don’t need to worry too much.”
Her words made Su Yu and Wang Jingyu both look at her. Su Yu furrowed his brow, “I wouldn’t worry about you if it was just Gu Xiruo, but the problem is that she has Qing Yukong by her side.”
The issue with Qing Yukong was indeed significant.
He was concerned that Wang Jinhe might lose to him in a confrontation.
Wang Jinhe, with a smile, put her arm around Su Yu and said, “I know what you’re worried about, but there’s no need to be concerned. Qing Yukong is indeed formidable, but such people have weaknesses. I need to borrow someone from you.”
“Who?” Su Yu frowned. He had many people around him, so who could Wang Jinhe be referring to with such significance?
“I want to borrow Lou Manqing from you,” Wang Jinhe said.
Upon hearing that Wang Jinhe wanted to borrow Lou Manqing, Su Yu immediately understood her intentions. It was indeed a method worth considering. If these two could turn against each other, there would be no need for them to confront others.
“Alright, I will write to him later. As for what to do next, it will be up to you,” Su Yu said. After the imperial examination, he needed to consider other matters as well.
Wang Jinhe nodded with a smile, “Of course.”
With this matter settled at that moment, those nearby may not have fully understood what was discussed, but since Su Yu was reassured, Wang Jingyu didn’t say much more.
Su Shan sat next to Qin Lang, listening to their conversation with a dizzy head. After they finished speaking, she looked at Qin Lang beside her and asked, “Do you know what my brother and sister-in-law were talking about?”
She wasn’t foolish, so why couldn’t she understand what they were saying?
“Do you want to know?”
“I don’t really want to, but I just feel like I don’t know anything compared to my brother and sister-in-law,” Su shan said.
Qin Lang smiled at Su shan’s frustrated expression, with a gentle smile on his face, “It’s okay. As long as I know, it’s enough. You don’t need to know these things.”
Rolling her eyes at Qin Lang, Su shan said irritably, “Some things can’t be helped just by you offering to help me.”
There were things she could pretend not to understand, but there were also things she had to face. Dealing with the future officials’ wives when Qin Lang entered officialdom would be troublesome for her.
Afterward, she and Qin Lang would also get married, and after the marriage, they would leave the capital city to go to the north. She wondered if she would be able to adapt to the north.
“Sister-in-law, do you think I can adapt to the north?” Su shan turned to Wang Jinhe and asked.
She didn’t ask Qin Lang because even he didn’t know if he could adapt to the north.
“It’s always people who adapt to the environment, not the other way around. With your abilities, I believe you can definitely do it,” Wang Jinhe encouraged with a smile.
Su Yu smiled, feeling like Xiao He was teasing Su shan.
Watching the two of them being intimate, Su Yu’s smile became even gentler, but his determination remained unwavering. No matter what, he would go to the border and return alive.
Three days later, after the palace exam, Wang Jingyu and the others left early. After the exam, they were indeed sent to the north to take over the distribution of grains in that region.
This task was quite heavy for newly appointed officials.
The Prime Minister looked at the three young people standing in the middle, hoping they wouldn’t disappoint the Emperor’s trust.
After the morning court session, Wang Jingyu and the others prepared to leave. They would first return home and then head to the north for their new positions.
The main purpose of Wang Jingyu’s return was to leave with Wen Sitong.
Before heading back to Xie Family Village, Wang Jingyu looked at Wang Jinhe with a worried expression and said, “Xiao He, you need to be careful, okay? Don’t let anyone bully you.”
“Don’t worry, Brother. With Su Yu around, who would dare to bully me?” Wang Jinhe felt that he was overthinking things.
