Forced to marry, I picked up a young powerful official

When Shen Nankui just arrived at Gu's house, the two little ones heard the noise and followed him.

But they were talking about serious business in the main room, and the two children didn't dare to go in, so they could only hide outside the door, waiting anxiously.

The two also heard about the divorce and knew that Shen Nankui was leaving the Gu family today.

When Liang called them in, the brother and sister had already cried so much that their eyes were swollen, especially Aqiao, whose eye sockets were as swollen as walnuts. Ayuan was not much better. He was like a little adult on weekdays, but now his face was covered with snot and tears.

When the brother and sister saw Shen Nankui, Aqiao burst into tears before they could say a word.

She rushed forward and hugged Shen Nankui's legs, crying and sobbing, "Aunt, Aqiao begs you, please don't leave, okay? I missed you so much during the days you were away. Aqiao doesn't want to be separated from you..."

Shen Nankui picked up Aqiao, sat on the chair, and coaxed her gently, "Aqiao, don't cry. You don't want me to leave because you're afraid you won't see me anymore, right?"

"Yes……"

Aqiao nodded with tears in her eyes.

Shen Nankui took out a handkerchief to wipe her tears, and then said: "Even if I am no longer your aunt in the future, I am still your teacher. You have to go to school every day, so you can still see me every day. Thinking of this, are you still sad?"

Hearing this, Aqiao stopped crying and a hint of joy appeared on her face, but then she shook her head.

"It's different. Although the teacher has taught me knowledge, besides these, Aqiao also wants to eat with my aunt, listen to your stories to put me to sleep, and go for a stroll on the street together... Aqiao wants to be a family with my aunt, but grandma said that you will marry someone else in the future and become a member of another family. Aqiao doesn't want this..."

The more she thought about it, the sadder she felt, and tears streamed down her little face.

Liang felt sad when she heard this and she turned her back and wiped her tears.

Seeing Aqiao crying so sadly, Shen Nankui wiped her tears silently but didn't know how to comfort her.

Suddenly, A Yuan pulled A Qiao away from her arms and scolded her with a stern face: "Gu Wenqiao, what nonsense are you talking about!"

Ah Qiao was confused, "Brother, what are you doing?"

A Yuan said seriously, "You read all the books, but they went to the dogs, didn't they?"

Ah Qiao even forgot to cry and asked in confusion, "What do you mean?"

A Yuan said, "Aunt always taught us that we should be reasonable. Since she has made the decision, as the younger generation, we just need to respect and accept it. If you keep saying these things, won't it embarrass her?"

Ah Qiao was stunned for a moment, then cried, "But I can't bear to leave my aunt, is that wrong?"

"I didn't say you were wrong, but you have to understand that a simple "reluctance" can't change everything. Auntie has suffered so much and is already sad enough. Let's not make her suffer any more. If you miss Auntie, I will take you to visit her often in the future. Auntie is our teacher. No matter where she goes, we will go to see her and no one will find fault with us!"

Ah Qiao was silent for a moment before nodding and saying, "I know I was wrong."

"You should tell this to your aunt."

Aqiao turned her head and looked at Shen Nankui, and whispered: "Aunt, rather than asking you to be Aqiao's family, Aqiao hopes that you can be happy."

Shen Nankui felt a sore nose and tears welled up in his eyes. He blinked hard to hold them back.

She pulled the two little ones in front of her and touched their heads as usual.

"They're all good kids."

Liang had already wet her handkerchief with tears, and was now wiping her tears with her sleeve. She cleared her throat and said, "Yuan'er, Qiao'er, kneel down."

The two little ones knelt obediently in front of Shen Nankui.

Liang said, "You all know how your aunt treated you. Moreover, she even lost her own child to protect you. You must always remember this kindness, understand?"

“We will definitely remember!”

The two kids said with tears in their eyes.

Shen Nankui pulled the brother and sister up, and looked at Liang again, "It's getting late, I should leave too."

Even though Liang was reluctant, she could only say, "I'll see you off."

When they came outside, Hehua and Zhongshan had already packed everything and loaded it into the car. Before getting in the car, Shen Nankui took another look at the yard.

I still remember that at this time last year, she had just arrived at the Gu family.

In just one year, I have to leave again.

She only took a glance and then looked away. Just as she was about to get in the car, she saw Mother Liu rushing over with Fangcao, "Husband...Miss, you must take care of yourself in the future!"

Shen Nankui smiled and nodded, "Mother Liu, I chose you to come to the Gu family. I have already given your and Fangcao's indentures to Sister Chunlan. She is a kind person and will treat you well."

After that she got into the carriage.

Zhongshan waved his whip and drove the carriage slowly away. Liang took the two children with her for a long way and only returned home when the carriage disappeared.

……

The next day.

Shen Nankui came to the private school early in the morning. When Hu Wenyan saw her, she was surprised for a moment, and then she shouted happily: "Sister Shen, you are finally back?"

"Master Hu sent me a letter urging me to do something, how could I not reply?"

Hu Wenyan curled his lips and said, "I am concerned about you. Is there anything in the letter that urges you?"

Shen Nankui smiled and said, "Then I would like to thank Miss Hu for her concern."

Students also arrived one after another, and when they saw Shen Nankui coming back, they all greeted her happily.

It was not time for the class to start yet. Hu Wenyan sat down next to Shen Nankui and asked, "You have been in Beijing for so long. Have you settled your family affairs?"

Shen Nankui said: "It's a long story, but it's solved now."

Hu Wenyan smiled and said, "I heard from my grandfather that your family's top scholar was appointed as the Dean of the Imperial Academy by His Majesty. This has never happened since the founding of the Tiansheng Dynasty. It shows that His Majesty values ​​Gu Yichuan. If your mother's family really has any problems, why not ask him for help? After all, as a son-in-law, it is my duty to help my Yue family, right?"

Shen Nankui didn't know how to respond, so he just nodded vaguely.

Fortunately, Hu Wenyan had no intention of continuing this topic and turned to business.

"Sister Shen, you came back at the right time. The academy has been built. The head of Lai'an Town came a few days ago and asked me when you would be back. As soon as you arrive, we can prepare for the opening ceremony of the academy."

Shen Nankui was also thinking about this matter, and nodded and said, "I will go find the head of the village and discuss this matter with him later."

"Okay, go ahead. I'll be here at the private school, don't worry."

When it was time for class, Hu Wenyan entered the classroom.

Shen Nankui smiled and watched for a while, then went to the headman's house. The headman was also delighted to see her. "Master Shen, you're back. I was just about to ask someone to send a letter to the capital to ask you. Now that the An Academy has been built, we can move in at any time. It's a good opportunity for you to come, so how about we set a time today?"
