Chapter 204: There's really nothing to be jealous about.

After several days of travel, Wang Sister-in-Law and her group finally arrived at Ningzhou City.

"Mother, we're here," Yun Yan reminded, looking at the tall city gates ahead.

Hearing this, Aunt Zhang and Wang Sister-in-Law poked their heads out from the back of the carriage, smiling as they saw this place that was even more prosperous than the provincial capital.

"We've finally arrived."

"Zhu'er, go ask for directions to find out where Ningzhou Academy is. We shouldn't keep Mr. Xu waiting."

They had already spent quite some time on the road, and it wouldn't be right to keep people waiting for too long.

"Yun Yan, Brother Wang."

Just as Aunt Zhang finished speaking, they heard a familiar voice.

Luo Ge had estimated the time and guessed that Wang Sister-in-Law's group should be arriving in the next couple of days, so he came to check at the city gates.

He didn't expect to be so lucky.

"Luo Ge!"

Hearing the commotion, Wang Sister-in-Law quickly turned her head to look. Recognizing the person walking towards them, she called out in delighted surprise.

Earlier, Luo Ge had approached from the side of Wang Sister-in-Law's group, only able to see Brother Wang and Yun Yan outside the carriage. Now that he was closer, he could see Wang Sister-in-Law and the others.

The two looked at each other and immediately burst into smiles.

Gu Jinchen was busy with matters at the escort agency, Yun Mu and the others were at the academy, and the children were all at the Luo Mansion. At this moment, Luo Ge had come with Qiu Niang and Gu Dong.

"Sister-in-law, Auntie, I figured you'd be arriving around these days, so I came to have a look. I didn't expect to be so fortunate," Luo Ge said with a smile, greeting the Wang family group.

"You must be tired from your long journey. Come, let's go back and rest first, and have a quick meal."

Hearing Luo Ge's words, Wang Sister-in-Law paused and looked at Aunt Zhang, then quickly waved her hands at Luo Ge.

"No need, no need. It's no trouble. We just ate not long ago, we're not hungry."

They had already been out for quite a while, and it would take a few more days to return home.

Today, they had planned to deliver the child, settle Tie Dan, and then head back.

They didn't want to trouble Luo Ge any further.

Hearing Wang Sister-in-Law's words, Luo Ge understood their concerns and took her hand.

"Sister-in-law, there's no need to be so formal with me. Luo Auntie, Xiu Niang, and the others are at home. We won't be short on time.

At this time, Wang Sister-in-Law, Aunt Zhang, Brother Wang, and the others were also waiting outside the Examination Hall, looking somewhat nervous.

"It's alright. It was the same when Yun Mu and the others entered the academy. Yun Yan is a very clever child, you can rest assured."

"Mm." Hearing Luo Ge say this, the Wang family nodded.

As they had expected, Yun Yan's examination went smoothly, and he came out before long.

Behind him followed Elder Mr. Xu, beaming with pride and satisfaction, and Old Master Bai, unable to hide his jealousy.

"So jealous, eh? Too bad, you don't have this fortune."

His fists clenched, holding back again and again, Old Master Bai still couldn't resist giving him a white-eyed look before turning to leave.

But thinking about it again, he felt a bit better.

There's really nothing to be jealous about. After all, aren't they all children of his Ningzhou Academy in the end?

He's the principal, so by extension, aren't these children his students too?

And extending that logic a bit further, isn't he also their master?

Right! There's really nothing to be jealous about.

They were naturally unaware of Old Master Bai's self-consolation on their side.

"The child can start studying at the academy tomorrow. I'll take you to get him settled," Elder Mr. Xu said with a smile, looking at the Wang family.

"Alright."

Elder Mr. Xu had arranged for Yun Yan to stay in his own courtyard. After all, his little grandson had already been taken away by his father, and he was just a lonely old man now.

Having a few little disciples to keep him company every day wasn't bad at all.

The Wang family had already prepared everything needed for the child long ago.

The accommodations prepared by Elder Mr. Xu were quite suitable, and they only needed to set up some commonly used items to make it livable.

"It's rare for all of us to be together today. Why don't we have dinner at the mansion tonight? It'll be a good opportunity for everyone to gather and enjoy a few drinks," suggested Luo Ge.

Hearing these words, Elder Mr. Xu's eyes lit up.

"Excellent," he agreed.

He had been longing for Luo Ge's cooking skills for quite some time and naturally couldn't miss this chance.

Seeing this, the Wang family members naturally didn't refuse either.

At present, while at the academy, the three of them – master and disciples – had no other plans.

They could set off immediately.
