Chapter 630: Raising Status
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Minister Lu’s face darkened as he invited King Xiaoyao into his study.
No one knew what they discussed in the study, but when they emerged, Minister Lu’s expression was not as gloomy, and King Xiaoyao had a fox-like smile on his face.
Furthermore, Minister Lu made a firm decision to send his grandson as a personal attendant to the Qin family. Upon hearing this, Lu Yu’s mother was completely unsettled and determined to reason with her influential father-in-law.
She believed that her son had limitless prospects, especially since he had recently ranked thirty-sixth in the provincial examination. If he were to directly participate in the imperial examination, he had a four to five percent chance of success. But becoming someone else’s personal attendant would ruin his future.
It would be more severe than facing family discipline.
If her child hadn’t been properly brought up, she could accept it and put in even more effort in the future. But to completely cut off her child’s path to success, no mother could bear it!
However, when her husband returned from his break the next day and heard about this, he immediately persuaded her to listen to her father’s arrangements.
“All these years, Father has never made a mistake. If our child really deserves this trouble, it’s his own fault. As parents, we can control the child for a while. But can we hold his hand for the rest of his life? Next year, he will come of age, and he should think for himself.”
Seeing that even her husband, whom she had always respected, said this, Lu Yu’s mother gave up.
However, that day, she still asked Lu Yu for his opinion. Although Lu Yu was sad, his thoughts were the same as his father’s.
Indeed, he had made a huge mistake, and it wasn’t just a verbal altercation. He had genuinely contemplated using his status to oppress the other party. Even though he believed himself to be righteous at the time, he had clearly violated the family rules.
Whatever punishment his grandfather imposed would be appropriate.
Having received a round of punishment, Lu Yu felt much more at ease in his heart.
Meanwhile, King Xiaoyao was in a great mood. After a few more days, a messenger from the Wang Estate arrived at King Xiaoyao Estate to inform him that a gift had been prepared for him and requested his personal presence to receive it.
King Xiaoyao thought of the girl who looked very much like Ah Ruan and his heart softened. He decided to first order a large feast at the Defeng Restaurant. He barely ate a few bites and generously rewarded his accompanying guard with the remaining food.
Then, he ordered another table of dishes, selecting his personal favorites. He had them packed into a food box and happily took it with him to the Wang Estate.
When he arrived at the Wang Family, he realized that the Wang Family was in a joyous mood from top to bottom, as if they had encountered some great joy.
On the way, he’d encountered a few stalls selling snacks and decided to buy them all, treating them as gifts.
The most surprising thing was that the one opening the door for him was not the Wang Family’s gatekeeper, but a very strong-looking sheep.
King Xiaoyao:”?”
Little Lamb looked at the person in the wheelchair and tilted its head. “Baa?”
Why did this person look different from the others? He looked a little silly and didn’t move.
Sigh, he had not followed Little Master for a long time. Little Master had actually become friends with a fool!
King Xiaoyao didn’t miss the look of disdain that seemed to flash across the lamb’s eyes. Was he seeing things?
“Little Lamb, who’s outside?” All Yu’s voice was lively, with a lingering hint of laughter.
Soon, King Xiaoyao saw All Yu stepping out in a pink dress. His vision blurred, as if he saw the mischievous little girl from the past.
“Is it Uncle Wooden Wheels? Please come in.” Ah Yu saw King Xiaoyao and invited him in happily.
King Xiaoyao:Un-Uncle Wooden Wheels?
He lowered his head and looked at the wheelchair under him. Indeed, it had wooden wheels.
The nostalgia that rose in his mind instantly shattered, leaving no trace.
“You can call me Uncle Ah Shu..”
