Mr. Qi had been gone for less than half an hour when Old Wang ca bringing a gift box.
Old Wang ca in with a big smile, had his people put the gift box on the table, and clasped his hands together, saying, "This is a small token from Mr. Qi, as an apology to you all."
"Our Mr. Qi also said that if any of the brothers from the Xuan Gang get injured in the future, please have Doctor Gu help take a look at them."
Yun Jiao imdiately understood that Mr. Qi wanted the Xuan Gang to take care of Renxin Hall’s business.
She thought for a mont and smiled, "Then we thank your Mr. Qi very much."
After delivering the gift, Old Wang took his leave, and Liu Zhu suddenly said, "This Mr. Qi, everyone outside says he’s ruthless, but I find him quite amiable. Not only did he apologize in person, but he also sent gifts."
"That’s so noble, so considerate."
Lin Shuo and Yun Jiao both laughed simultaneously.
The two exchanged a glance, and Lin Shuo said, "If he were kind, he wouldn’t be the boss of the gang."
"If he truly wanted to apologize, he would have co with the gift box in hand."
"He only did this after realizing we have Prince Kang behind us, the apology and the gift are purely out of respect for the Prince."
Liu Zhu listened, bewildered, and after a while said, "You people, your minds are so sharp, I don’t even know how you see through so many twists and turns."
Zhang Shun patted Liu Zhu’s shoulder and smiled at him with a doting look.
Yun Jiao asked Ah Tie to take so of the gift boxes inside to Mrs. Chen.
Before long, Mrs. Chen ca out and exclaid, "Who just sent these gift boxes? There are actually two pieces of silk inside."
Yun Jiao casually said, "Keep them to embroider or make clothes as you like."
Mrs. Chen went back inside, a thoughtful look on her face.
That day, Jiang Youzhi did not return all night.
The Prince Mansion sent over an attendant, saying that Mr. Jiang would be spending the night discussing a chess ga with the Prince.
The next afternoon, Jiang Youzhi finally ca back.
After dinner, Jiang Youzhi first went into Mrs. Chen’s room and seriously said to her, "Starting tomorrow, I’ll be going to the academy to study."
"From now on, I’ll only be able to co back for a day every ten days."
Mrs. Chen was delighted, "Is it Yuelu Academy?"
Jiang Youzhi nodded.
Mrs. Chen clasped her hands together and murmured a prayer, "Bodhisattva, please bless my son to study smoothly at the academy and to excel in the exams in the future."
Jiang Youzhi smiled and took out a silver note to hand to her.
Mrs. Chen recognized a few numbers, and seeing the amount, she almost fainted, "Where did you get so much silver?"
Jiang Youzhi found it amusing that a thousand taels could scare his mother so much.
He softly said, "I found a way to earn it, this is for you to use for household expenses."
"Don’t be thrifty, mother, just spend it, we can improve the als a bit, the kids are all growing, and if the silver runs out, I have more."
Mrs. Chen nodded with a complex expression.
Ever since she heard yesterday that San Lang had been taken away by the Prince, she knew sothing was about to change completely.
She didn’t understand what class mobility ant, she just knew her son could associate with the Prince, and she would never have to kneel for a few taels of silver again.
Mrs. Chen suddenly jumped up, "Are you leaving for the academy tomorrow?"
"Then I must quickly ask Sister Guihua to fry so small fish for you to take along, don’t you like them?"
"Oh, and there’s cured at and fish, I’ll ask her to steam them and put them in a jar for you to take."
"With so many people eating at the academy, the als surely aren’t good."
As she said this, she hurriedly walked out.
