The Prime Minister Seduced Me to have Babies!

Chapter 975: Far-Reaching Plans

Yun Jiao patted her brother’s hand, "Xiao Chuan has really grown up.""I think you’ve handled this matter very well."

She didn’t want to talk about Li Shi anymore. Compared to Gu Chuan’s lingering feelings, Li Shi was truly just a stranger to her now.

She changed the topic, "The documents from the Ministry of Personnel have arrived. From now on, when you go out, you are an official. I believe in you, and that you will handle the affairs of the place very well."

Gu Chuan, perhaps because he had said what was on his mind, felt much more at ease and grinned, "Well, if I can’t handle it, I’ll write back to ask Brother-in-law."

Yun Jiao thought, Nanjiang is more than two thousand miles away from Xiang City. By the time your brother-in-law replies, it will be too late.

In a few days, Gu Chuan’s luggage was packed, with only the servant Nanxing accompanying him from home.

Yun Jiao and Aunt Hua prepared many medicinal herbs, clothes, and food for him. The whole family sent Gu Chuan off at the Ten Miles Pavilion outside the city.

Jiang Youzhi suddenly took out two letters and handed them to Gu Chuan.

Gu Chuan, holding the two letters, asked, "What are these?"

Jiang Youzhi said solemnly, "One letter is for the Magistrate of Jiao State." The Magistrate of Jiao State was considered Gu Chuan’s immediate superior, as Jinyang County was under the jurisdiction of Jiao State.

"The other letter is for my eldest uncle." Jiang Youzhi’s eldest uncle, General Wu, was stationed in southern Jiang, with the camp only about a hundred miles from Jinyang County.

Jiang Youzhi instructed Gu Chuan carefully, "However, these two letters are best not to be taken out unless absolutely necessary."

"In the southern Jiang area, there are people of Great Chu and Southern Barbarians, with three or four ethnic groups coexisting. The situation is complex, and whatever you do, don’t act rashly. Always think twice before acting."

"If there is something you cannot suppress, take this letter to General Wu."

He paused and continued, "As for the Magistrate of Jiao State, unless he does something to coerce you, there is no need to show him this letter."

In the letter to the Magistrate of Jiao State, nothing much was written, except to clarify his relationship with Gu Chuan.

"If there’s anything, write to me. Whether it’s personal matters, public matters, issues of the people, or official matters, you can write back to ask me if you’re unsure."

Holding the two letters, Gu Chuan’s eyes immediately became wet.

These two letters were Brother-in-law’s deep care for him.

Brother-in-law seemed to have considered everything for him. He knew that even the choice of Jinyang County must have been decided after much thought by Brother-in-law. Just because General Wu’s camp was nearby, he could be protected closely.

Gu Chuan knew that Brother-in-law treated his sister very well, even surpassing the love his father once showed his mother.

Because of his love for his sister, Brother-in-law cultivated him meticulously, with wholehearted care.

With red-rimmed eyes, Gu Chuan bowed deeply to Jiang Youzhi, "Thank you, Brother-in-law, take care of yourself."

Then he knelt to pay respects to Gu Yuheng and Aunt Hua, looked wistfully at Yun Jiao, turned, and boarded the carriage with large strides.

Watching Gu Chuan’s carriage go farther and farther, Gu Yuheng sighed deeply and turned to board his carriage as well.

Aunt Hua, knowing that Gu Yuheng was reluctant to part with his son, gently held his hand and said softly, "Don’t worry. Whenever you miss Xiao Chuan, I’ll accompany you to the southern Jiang. We can stay with Xiao Chuan for a few years there."

Gu Yuheng held Aunt Hua’s hand tightly, a lump rising in his throat.

They were well aware of the hardships in southern Jiang. They often inquired about the situation there and discussed it at home.

Aunt Hua, knowing all this, was still willing to give up the comfortable life in Xiang City and endure hardships with him in southern Jiang. Meeting such a woman, how lucky he was.
