CHAPTER 1660: CHAPTER 1660: REMINDER (3)

"Zijin, Assistant Minister of Rites Chou Da-ren submitted a petition some days ago, wanting to retire. This means the position of Left Vice Minister is vacant now..." Gu Sheng glanced at Yao Fangshuo, "You are my prized disciple, and your ability and character are evident. I want to recommend you for advancement..."

"Thank you, mentor." Upon hearing this, Yao Fangshuo’s heart was immediately filled with joy. He quickly stood up and bowed deeply, "I will definitely live up to your expectations..."

Gu Sheng smiled and nodded: "I heard you’re going to be related by marriage with Lu Imperial Censor?"

Yao Fangshuo was slightly stunned for a moment, then nodded: "Yes, Lu Imperial Censor’s second daughter is about the same age as my youngest son. We’ve set a date to meet... Lu Imperial Censor is very just, but his madam loves listening to stories..."

Gu Sheng laughed, reached out to pat Yao Fangshuo’s shoulder: "Zijin, among so many scholars at that time, you were the one I picked at first glance. Now it seems, I made the right choice."

"I’ll continue to rely on your guidance." Yao Fangshuo bowed again to pay his respects.

Behind the Qiutong Academy.

Zou Qiuyue paced around the room twice before finally sitting down, but shortly after sitting, she stood up again, raising her hand to grab a teacup from the table intending to throw it.

"Madam." As Zou Qiuyue’s nanny, Niu Family naturally understood her mistress’s situation. She hurriedly poured a cup of tea and handed it over, "Please calm down."

"Nanny, do you think that person is really him?" Ever since Zou Qiuyue heard the news that Gu Ye was still alive, she felt uneasy. Later, she got confirmation from Dou Xuemei, which completely shattered her hopes. At that moment, she knew that the person would definitely return for revenge. Helplessly, she had to call her cousin Deng Da to discuss. Deng Da personally investigated again, only to find that the person had actually married. Her heart felt like it was being scratched by a cat, feeling extremely uncomfortable.

Thus, Deng Da said he would deal with Yang Ruxin.

However, now half a year has passed, and there’s been no news, while Alian, who should have sent a message every five days, hasn’t sent anything for half a month, making her feel very uneasy. So she seemed to have to ask again to stabilize her mind.

"Madam." Niu Family hurriedly held Zou Qiuyue’s hand, "You must stay calm. Whether or not that person is true, you must not show any flaw, or else... think of Che-ge."

Zou Qiuyue quickly closed her eyes and took a deep breath: "Nanny is right; I must not panic." She had already defeated Shu Manzhi back then, and her son who was hailed as a prodigy didn’t know good from bad, so deserved to die. Although he didn’t die, he has been expelled from the Gu Family, so what is there to worry about?

"Madam, right now is the festive season, with many people coming and going. You are the head wife, you can’t be disorderly. If any mistake happens, then..." Niu Family didn’t finish her words but pointed out clearly.

"I understand." Zou Qiuyue closed her eyes for a moment, then opened them with a faint smile, "Nanny, it’s good to have you by my side guiding me, or I might really be stuck in a dead end."

"Madam, if I may say arrogantly, you are like a daughter to this old slave, who watched you grow up. Only when you’re well can this old slave be well." Niu Family also let out a sigh of relief, hurriedly pouring a cup of tea and handing it over, "This old slave hopes madam stays wealthy and peaceful forever..."
