Peaceful Farm Life

Chapter 591: Chapter 591: Need for Polishing_1

Compared to Li Wuyu’s anxiety, An Jing was quite at ease.

If Wang Youbao gained the Crown Prince Su Chengyu’s favor, then Wang Youbao’s future would be immeasurable.

An Jing was not interested in the conversation between Wang Youbao and Su Chengyu; she was simply looking after her four children with her husband.

Suddenly, An Jing remembered something.

Then, she whispered something to Xiao Changyi before pulling the nervous Li Wuyu, who had been intently watching Wang Youbao and Su Chengyu, into the inner chamber.

Li Wuyu, who had been worried about Wang Youbao, showed displeasure when An Jing pulled her into the inner chamber, ”Master, by pulling me in here, how am I supposed to rescue my Bao Bao at the first sign of trouble?”

An Jing could easily see through Li Wuyu’s intentions. Upon hearing Li Wuyu’s words, she said, ”If Youbao truly offends Chengyu, even if you are the Prime Minister’s daughter, you won’t be able to save Youbao.”

Li Wuyu deflated in an instant, ”I know that in my head, but I still can’t help worrying.”

An Jing decided not to discuss the matter further and, lowering her voice, she said, ”I pulled you in here to tell you that I can no longer hold off your father. If you don’t go back soon, he truly will send someone to drag you back.”

Li Wuyu looked even more deflated and after a long while, she said in an extremely downhearted tone, ”Master, the three-month deadline we agreed upon has passed, and there has been no progress between him and me. It’s time for me to return. Actually... I came here today not only to attend the hundred-day celebration for Yi Jing’s children but also to say goodbye to you and Master. I’m going back home. Tomorrow, I will return.”

An Jing was startled at first, then asked, ”Does Youbao know?”

Li Wuyu shook her head, ”I haven’t told him yet.”

An Jing fell silent for a moment before asking, ”Do you really plan on not returning to Qilin County once you go back this time?”

Li Wuyu forced a bitter smile, ”If I come, it will be to see you and Master. Him... I won’t meet him again.”

An Jing, silent.

Li Wuyu also remained silent for a while before forcing a smile, ”I will give him a proper farewell.”

An Jing stayed silent for a long while, then said, ”Wuyu, I think you should tell Youbao your true feelings.”

Li Wuyu shook her head, ”Better not. I have little face left to save, and I want to leave with some dignity. Besides, I have been here for half a year this time, and he has always treated me the same. I’ve given up hope and won’t expect anything more.”

”Sigh.” An Jing could only sigh, yet again.

Before, she thought that Wang Youbao liked her disciple, but as time went on, she slowly began to doubt this. Now, she even felt that Wang Youbao truly had no affection for her disciple at all.

This was because Wang Youbao’s attitude towards her disciple had always been the same, never changing.

Thinking it was for the best that Li Wuyu go back, An Jing said, ”Jing’er and the others are still too young; your Master and I must look after them. When you leave tomorrow, we will not come to see you off.”

”Hmm.”

...

After the celebration for the hundred-day-old children, Li Wuyu said she wanted to return to town.

Li Wuyu had come in Wang Youbao’s carriage, and when she said she wanted to go back to town, Wang Youbao stood up and said he was returning as well.

Then, Li Wuyu and Wang Youbao left together.

Shi Xiaolan, with both her daughters Niuniu and Yu Yu falling asleep, decided not to stay any longer and took her two daughters home to sleep.

Only when there were no more outsiders did Su Chengyu finally say, ”He knows quite a lot, just needs some polishing. Fortunately, he is still young.”
