Hearing Gu Yu’s words, Ning Yue paused in her eating. She seemed to suddenly understand. “Master, thank you,” Ning Yue said apologetically.

Although she didn’t know exactly what her grandmother was going to do, she was willing to do her best to protect her. “Second Brother and Cousin, I want to ask you to do me a favor.”

“Cousin, what do you want Cousin to help you with?” Liu Xuan’s expression turned serious when he saw Ning Yue’s serious expression.

“You all want to take the path of a general. The General’s Residence can help you, but you should have heard about what happened in the General’s Residence recently. The emperor has exiled everyone except General Zhenbei, and my grandmother has returned to the General’s Residence at this time. I’m worried about her. If you choose to go to the General’s Residence, I want you to take good care of my grandmother,” Ning Yue said.

Although she did not want to admit it, at the moment, it was the best choice for Liu Xuan and Erlang to stay in the General’s Residence. Not only could it pave the way for their future, but it could also give her grandmother an additional guarantee.

Hearing Ning Yue’s words, Liu Xuan and Erlang looked at each other.

“Yueyue, we’re still outsiders after all. It’s a little unreasonable for us to stay in the general’s residence,” Erlang said.

Ning Yue smiled. “What’s wrong with that? Cousin is from my mother’s family, and Second Brother is from the Ning Family Village. If it weren’t for Grandfather picking me up back then, I’m afraid I would have starved to death outside.”

Only Old Master Ning, Gu Yu, Madam He, and Jiang Ying knew that she had been sent to the Ning family village by Liu Yun. She did not intend to tell anyone else too much.

“I’m the only legitimate young miss of the General Residence. You’re my benefactors and my family. It’s only right for the General Residence to keep you,” Ning Yue said.

“This…” Erlang thought for a moment and did not dare to make a decision immediately until Jiang Ying said, “If you stay in the general’s residence and become officials in the future, won’t you be able to support Ning Yue in the future?”
