CHAPTER 235: CHAPTER 235: BE MY BACKER IN THE FUTURE

Jiang Youzhi watched Mrs. Chen’s back and felt an incomparable warmth in his heart.

He didn’t know who his real mother was and imagined he had been abandoned by his biological parents. He remembered his father saying on his deathbed that he was found under a tree.

However, over the years, Mrs. Chen and her husband had shown him even more love than one would give to their own, and in his heart, Mrs. Chen was his real mother.

Coming out of Mrs. Chen’s room, Jiang Youzhi wandered around the yard, glanced at Yun Jiao’s room several times, and finally couldn’t resist going over and knocking on the window.

Yun Jiao opened the window, saw him, and smiled, "What’s up?"

Jiang Youzhi looked deeply at Yun Jiao, "Yeah, there’s something I need to tell you. I’m going to the academy tomorrow."

Yun Jiao wasn’t too surprised. After all, he had befriended the Prince. Entering Yuelu Academy was just a matter of wanting to go.

She nodded, "Okay, don’t worry, I’ll take good care of mother and your younger siblings."

Jiang Youzhi hesitated to speak and after a while said, "I’ll be gone for ten days before coming back."

"By then, it’ll be almost March, and the peach blossoms should be blooming. Let’s go see the peach blossoms together."

Yun Jiao nodded happily, "Sure, sure, and let’s buy a few kites to fly. Sixth Brother, Xiao Chuan, San Ya, and Yingzi will undoubtedly be overjoyed."

Jiang Youzhi paused for a moment, "Okay."

"No need to buy kites, I’ll make two myself."

Yun Jiao’s eyes sparkled as she looked at him, "You can make kites too?"

"How are you so amazing? You can do everything!"

Jiang Youzhi’s mood instantly lifted, "What kind of kite do you want?"

"Butterfly kite? Beauty kite? Or a hawk kite?"

Yun Jiao’s eyes shifted slightly, thinking seriously, "Make a hawk kite, and a beauty kite too."

"I’ve never seen a beauty kite before."

Jiang Youzhi nodded, "Alright, wait for me to come back."

Yun Jiao smiled and said, "Is your luggage all packed?"

"Is there anything you need help with?"

Jiang Youzhi replied warmly, "There’s not much luggage; I packed it myself."

"You, take care of yourself at home."

Yun Jiao nodded earnestly and then smiled, "You study hard, I’m waiting for you to become an official someday, so you can be my support."

She knew very well that in this era, having money alone wasn’t enough. Without power and influence, anyone could bully you.

No matter how much wealth you have, it can all vanish in an instant.

She just hoped that San Lang would study hard and become a high-ranking official someday, so she, as San Lang’s sister-in-law, could be protected by him.

Jiang Youzhi, as if making a promise, said, "I will, don’t worry."

Just then, Sixth Brother ran over and tugged at Jiang Youzhi, "Brother, Xiao Chuan and I can’t do our homework, come teach us quickly."

Jiang Youzhi helplessly glanced at Yun Jiao and was pulled away by Sixth Brother.

Soon, from the east wing, came Jiang Youzhi’s reprimanding voice, "Have you two grown brains? What can’t you do? Just copy it down!"

Yun Jiao chuckled in her room and closed the window.

By early next morning, a carriage was parked outside the shop.

Jiang Youzhi came out carrying a bundle, and Mrs. Chen stuffed two jars onto the carriage. Standing by the car with Yun Jiao, she said a basketful of instructions before reluctantly sending Jiang Youzhi off.

After the carriage had driven away, Yun Jiao said, "I think San Lang needs an attendant student."

"Someone to help him with everyday chores and manage accommodation and meals during travels."
