Chapter 2655: Mission 41

“There’s a troublemaker causing chaos here, and it’s senseless. Tian Liu, just kick him out. Regardless of who he is, show him the way out,” Gu Chaoyan declared with a cold tone.

Tian Liu, initially concerned, now found joy in the directive. Being tall and robust, he stepped forward to promptly usher Jiang Caixiu away, ignoring any protestations.

Unperturbed by Jiang Caixiu’s discontent, Tian Liu made sure he didn’t linger.

Once the intruder was dealt with, Tian Liu returned to report the resolution.

Given their shared origin in the North Village, distinguis.h.i.+ng genuine residents from impostors was straightforward. The matter was swiftly settled as those who didn’t belong departed.

As discussions about schedules and compensation concluded, the Yan family fell into a brief silence.

Tian Liu, preparing to leave, sought clarification from Danqiu, “Why bother engaging with someone like Jiang Caixiu? We could have just driven him away. Otherwise, people might gossip about it in the future.”

Gu Chaoyan responded with a smile, “He’s the only Elementary Scholar in all the villages, so I opted for diplomacy before resorting to force. Granting him some dignity ensures that he won’t be the subject of future rumors. I was reasonable earlier, but he didn’t listen. Whatever happens in the future will be considered normal.”

Tian Liu, initially puzzled, eventually grasped the wisdom in Danqiu’s approach.

“Danqiu is truly clever, just like Third Uncle’s daughter. There’s a lot to learn from her,” Tian Liu thought to himself.

Satisfied with the resolution, Tian Liu departed, leaving Gu Chaoyan to prepare for her visit to the Lin Family’s medicine shop.

And at this moment…

The Jiang family.

The few members of the Jiang family were waiting for Jiang Caixiu to return.

They were quite confident.

Jiang Caixiu, being the sole Elementary Scholar in the neighboring villages, couldn’t fathom encountering resistance, especially from a girl. His accomplishments at a young age hinted at a limitless future, and he viewed himself as an outstanding match.

This sentiment extended to Yan Danqiu.

Despite the current prosperity of the Yan family, he deemed them mere businessmen, an occupation he considered lowly. Jiang Caixiu believed that by aligning himself with the prestigious Jiang family, he could potentially secure a future as the spouse of an official. How could anyone, especially a girl like Yan Danqiu, be unwilling? To him, it seemed inconceivable.

Upon returning home, Jiang Caixiu was met by his mother’s antic.i.p.ation. She eagerly inquired, “Caixiu, are you back? How did it go? Did you agree? If so, we can send the betrothal gifts ahead of time. No rush for the wedding. You’re still young. Take your time. Yan Danqiu’s background isn’t favorable. If you make her a legitimate wife, it might hinder your future prospects.”

His mother’s advice reflected concerns about potential exploitation by the Yan family.

Jiang Caixiu’s response was a firm “No.”

Perplexed, Jiang Caixiu’s mother intended to continue guiding him, but she was abruptly halted by the unexpected refusal. “What? He didn’t agree? What could be the issue with Yan Danqiu? We willingly proposed the match because she’s fortunate and suitable. Why would he decline?”

Dissatisfaction etched across her face, Jiang Caixiu’s mother pressed for an explanation.

“She refused and even spoke unpleasant words. Let’s forget about it. As long as I perform well in the imperial examination, my career won’t face significant obstacles. Why should I dwell on this situation?” Jiang Caixiu explained, having exhausted his efforts.

His mother, contemplating his words, found a certain logic in them.

“Let’s focus on the exams first.”

Concerned about Yan Danqiu’s prolonged presence, Jiang Caixiu’s mother nodded and advised, “Return to the academy tomorrow and study diligently. The exam is approaching. Don’t let this distract you.”

“Alright,” Jiang Caixiu sighed in relief, accepting his mother’s guidance.
