The entire Marquis's mansion regrets it? Too late, their little one has become the darling of t

"Come on, I'll show you around!" Yu Ningyao happily led the young man to the deck.

After taking a few steps, she turned around and urged the others, "Father, Mother, Fourth Brother, Sixth Brother, come too!"

"Okay, okay." The group laughed and followed.

When they arrived at the deck, Yun Shiyue and the other person had already returned to their cabin.

Yu Ningyao blew the whistle, and soon the fish all swam over.

Although not as many as Yun Shiyue summoned, there were still quite a few.

Wow!!! My little sister is amazing!!!

After seeing it with her own eyes, Yu Ziying was completely impressed by her skill.

With such a capable younger sister, he can do whatever he wants from now on.

When he arrived at his maternal grandparents' house, he brought his younger sister and showed her off enthusiastically.

Then he can make a bet with his cousins ​​to see who catches the most fish, hehehe.

He and his sister team up, and they're sure to win all their New Year's money.

Yu Ziying couldn't help but chuckle to herself as she thought of her cousins' surprised expressions.

Yu Ziheng and Yu Zicong were also surprised by her move.

Shen Jinzhu couldn't help but sigh, "Yun Niangzi taught so well, we must cook more delicious dishes for the apprenticeship banquet tonight."

"Of course, Madam, rest assured, we will definitely not wrong our precious baby's master," Yu Kangjing replied with a smile.

After showing off twice, Yu Ningyao got tired and simply reached out to her mother to carry her back to sleep.

That night, at Yu Kangjing's instruction, the ship's cook prepared a sumptuous dinner.

Shen Jinzhu also prepared a sum of silver notes that were universally accepted in Xiangguo for Yun Shiyue and her son.

"This is the fee for my daughter to become an apprentice. Please accept it."

"No need," Yun Shiyue said with a smile, politely declining the silver notes he offered. "I feel a connection with your daughter, and I would gladly accept her as my apprentice."

“It’s one thing to get along well, and it’s another thing to have feelings for each other.” Shen Jinzhu refused to back down.

"With this tuition fee for your apprenticeship, it will be easier for you to settle down in the future."

Hearing her say that, Yun Shiyue was taken aback, then asked half-jokingly and half-jokingly, "Is Madam Shen going to kick us out tomorrow?"

“How could that be?” Shen Jinzhu quickly shook her head.

"Since you're going to Hangzhou, it's on our way, so we'll naturally give you a ride."

Upon hearing her say that, Yun Shiyue accepted the box of silver notes.

She thought for a moment and then took out the pearl from earlier that day.

This time, however, it wasn't Shen Jinzhu who received it, but Yu Ningyao.

“I am her teacher, and I didn’t prepare any gift for our meeting, so I’ll use these mermaid tears as a substitute.”

Seeing that Shen Jinzhu was about to speak, she smiled and said, "You won't let me refuse, so you can't refuse the gift I give to Yaoyao."

"Thank you, teacher." Yu Ningyao accepted the gift with a smile.

"Alright. Thank you very much then. I'll offer you a toast with tea instead of wine." Shen Jinzhu smiled and drank a cup of tea.

"Alright." Yun Shiyue also toasted with tea instead of wine.

For a time, the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves.

After many twists and turns, the pearl returned to the Yu family.

Yu Ningyao played with the pearl in her hand and asked the system:

[System, why aren't you issuing any new missions?]

The system beeped before speaking:

[Task: It's always good to have more skills. Learn three skills related to vying for favor and master them.]

[Reward: A perpetually perfect figure, able to eat as much as you want without gaining weight.]

Yu Ningyao: ?

She felt like this new task was specifically designed for her.

Previously, tasks didn't require a high level of detail, but now they even have a special note saying that you have to reach mastery to be considered successful.

What constitutes mastery? Is there a specific standard? We can't just let whatever you say define it, can we?

Yu Ningyao was concerned about this key point.

The system explained in a very serious tone:

[Host, rest assured, we have a rigorous evaluation process.]

[There are corresponding ratings for each level, from beginner to expert.]

Once you start the task, its progress will be displayed. It's considered successful once it reaches 90%.

Yu Ningyao knew there was no way to find a loophole this time, so she had no choice but to accept the task.

After all, the reward of not gaining weight no matter how much you eat is quite tempting.

When she grows up, she can eat whatever she wants without having to worry about controlling her food intake and losing weight to become a favored concubine.

It feels so good to think about it!

……

Five days later, they arrived in Hangzhou.

Yun Shiyue led Yun Chubai to say goodbye to the Yu family.

Yu Ningyao breathed a sigh of relief.

Thank goodness, the journey was safe; none of Yun Shiyue's enemies came after them.

After disembarking, they sent someone to rent several carriages nearby before heading towards the Shen family's residence.

About half an hour later, the coachman stopped the carriage and reported, "Master and Madam, we have arrived at Shenjia Lane."

Yu Ningyao was still wondering why they stopped walking once they reached the alley.

After getting out of the car, she realized that all the houses in this alley belonged to the Shen family!

He truly lives up to his reputation as a wealthy merchant from Jiangnan; he is indeed incredibly rich and powerful.

Shen Jinzhu was a little nervous.

She gave Yu Kangjing a reproachful look: "Didn't you tell Mom and Dad we were back? Won't they be scared?"

"Don't worry, your parents-in-law will be overjoyed." Yu Kangjing chuckled.

The maid knocked on the door of the Shen residence.

A short while later, a servant came to open the door.

"Who is it?"

With a creak, the door opened.

Shen Jinzhu appeared before him with a beaming smile.

"Grandma???"

"Son-in-law???"

"Am I seeing things? You guys really are back."

The servant who opened the door stared wide-eyed in disbelief.

"A-Zhu, it's me." Shen Jinzhu smiled, tears welling in her eyes.

“I remember when I got married, you were only this tall, and now you’ve grown so much.”

She gestured with her hand to indicate that it was shoulder height.

The servant boy, Azhu, was overjoyed: "Grandma, you actually still remember me?"

"Quickly, please come in. I need to tell the old master and the old lady; they will be overjoyed if they find out."

After saying that, he took off running towards the inner courtyard.

Yu Kangjing ordered his men to unload all the luggage from the carriage.

Besides their clothes and shoes, everything inside was a gift for the Shen family.

After all, he hadn't been home for so many years, so as the son-in-law, he naturally had to behave well.

Before they could finish moving their things, Shen Dafu and Lin Yunzheng rushed out in a hurry.

"My dear daughter, you're back!"

Both of them had disbelief in their eyes.

Ignoring the presence of others, Lin Yunzheng immediately pulled her daughter into her arms.

"My darling, you're finally back."

As she spoke, she choked up.

Shen Dafu was also secretly wiping away tears, but he couldn't stop smiling.

“When Ah Zhu said you were back, I thought he was joking, but I didn’t expect it to be true that you guys really came back.”

Yu Kangjing quickly greeted his father-in-law and mother-in-law: "Your son-in-law greets you."

The children also greeted them politely: "Grandpa, Grandma, Happy New Year."

Shen Dafu and Lin Yunzheng's smiles grew even brighter when they heard the children's voices.

They stared at Yu Ningyao in Yu Kangjing's arms, their expressions filled with confusion: "Whose child is this?"
