Father Ye, who was named, eagerly spoke up: "Yes, Ah Zhi, there’s no need to worry. Children of high-ranking officials have extra points, and the dean is also my junior. There’s absolutely no problem for my Ah Zhi to enter the Imperial College."
Back in the day, he was also a top student at the Imperial College, admired by countless underclassmen, exceptionally handsome and charming.
He was often rated as an "excellent student."
Even now, he’s still got it. If he has to pull some strings for his beloved daughter, even if it goes against morals, it’s understandable.
Moreover, his little Ah Zhi may not even need his help.
With Father Ye’s composed demeanor, Ye Zhi gained a lot of confidence.
Since Father said so, there shouldn’t be any problem. Wonderful, Little Fairy, here I come.
She jumped up, kissed her mother’s fair, tender face: "Mother, it’s great, I’m going to study, I’m going to make new friends, and I’ll invite her to the mansion to play, she’s very pretty, hehe."
Eager to introduce her new friend to her mother.
The room was filled with family, Ye Zhi excitedly jumped on the bed.
The black lacquered bed with inlaid patterns gently shook, producing soft creaking sounds "zi, zi, zi..." that were hardly noticeable unless one listened closely!
Unintentionally, while jumping, she caught a glimpse of the Little Traitor’s longing on his picture-perfect face.
Yes, hadn’t he previously sneaked out of the mansion just to eavesdrop on lectures??!!
After all, he’s now an eight-year-old boy, also longing for companionship and education; since he will eventually become a prime minister, why not let the Ye Mansion help him, it would be good to have a plan if anything happens to the Ye Family later.
In the novel, it is depicted that after Father Ye was accused of embezzlement and exiled to Fuyang, the matter didn’t just end. By then, she was already written off by the author, and her sister was killed too, with no more mention of these minor characters.
Instead, it focused on the love and hatred between the main characters...
Damn the author, not giving the minor characters any chance to survive.
Face it, whether stretching or retracting one’s neck, both result in a knife. Looking at the gentle as spring breeze, Ye Family, Ye Zhi hesitantly pointed to the boy in gray clothes and stammered, "Mother, can Shen Chen also go to the Imperial College with me?"
Mother, if I truly die at that time, only he will be able to protect the Ye Mansion.
Shen Chen?
"Is he Shen Wan’s grandson?"
"Yes, Mother."
On the surface, Ye Family seemed calm, but internally a battle was unfolding.
Upon seeing him at the courtyard earlier, she thought it was some child from another family that made Ah Zhi cry, but didn’t expect it was him.
When entering the mansion, Shen Wan grabbed his hand to sign a death contract and told her about his ill-fated star, causing harm to both parents; at that time, she wanted to refuse, but seeing the white, tender, lovable child, she hesitated.
Keeping him in the mansion for odd jobs, if he survives, then he survives; if not, it’s fate.
After all, if even his biological grandfather didn’t care for him, how could she, the matriarch?
The thoughts of being an ill-fated star, causing harm to parents, reemerged in her mind; this time, she couldn’t let her daughter do as she pleased.
She glanced at her obediently sitting daughter~
This delicate and adorable person is her lifeblood.
She couldn’t agree, better safe than sorry.
"Ah Zhi, he can’t go with you. Do you know how much the annual tuition of the Imperial College is? He can’t afford it." Ye Family shook her head and refused.
What?
Ah Zhi questioned, isn’t her family very wealthy? She understood now, suddenly having to support another person’s education is indeed impossible.
"Mother, Ah Zhi understands, Ah Zhi knows what to do now."
Just when everyone thought she was about to give up.
Shen Chen’s eyes, once filled with hope, also turned to disappointment. Yes, he, a mere servant, going to the Imperial College.
