Futuristic Chef Transmigrated As Mother

133-138

Chapter 133: What is This Place?

When they finally left the West District, Zhuang Zhuang had stopped asking questions. Xiaoguo had also run out of ideas.

"Mother?"

...
"Yes?!"

Xiaoguo was slumped in the carriage. When she heard Zhuang Zhuang call her "Mother", her heart trembled. What was he going to ask again?

"Mother, what's wrong?"

Zhuang Zhuang asked worriedly. Hearing this, Xiaoguo's heart softened. She had misunderstood her son.

"Mother is fine."

Xiaoguo said gently. It wasn't very elegant for her to be seated slumped in her seat like that. She decided to sit up straight.

Xiaoguo had just sat up when she heard Zhuang Zhuang's childlike voice.

"Mother, what is the Lu something academy for?"

When Xiaoguo heard the word academy, she was relieved. What Lu something academy? The name sounded really strange.

Xiaoguo poked her head out and looked in the direction Zhuang Zhuang was pointing at. "Oh, so that's what it was."

"Son, that word is pronounced as 'da'."

Xiaoguo happened to know this uncommon word.

Zhuang Zhuang tried to read it out loud. "Lu Da Academy? Are they selling books?"

Zhuang Zhuang was clearly interested in the academy.

"No, but it's a place where they teach. There are professional teachers teaching there."

The academy slowly disappeared into the distance. Zhuang Zhuang felt a little regretful.

"Next year, you'll be able to enroll at an academy."

Xiaoguo stroked Zhuang Zhuang's head and comforted him.

Zhuang Zhuang was also very happy after hearing this. Yes! He will be going to an academy next year, but...

After feeling happy for a while, Zhuang Zhuang seemed to have thought of something else. If he went to the academy, he wouldn't be able to stay with his mother every day. No way!

Seeing that the carriage was slowing down, Xiaoguo guessed that they were almost there. She packed her bags and got ready to alight.

Xiaoguo did not notice anything amiss with Zhuang Zhuang. When the carriage stopped, she led him out of the carriage.

Guan Xi wanted to ask Xiaoguo to get out of the car, but seeing that the mother and son had already gotten out, he returned to the front of the convoy.

Xiaoguo got out of the car and observed her surroundings. There were no commoners living around here, nor were there any houses. There was only a large residence with seals stuck on the walls. The surroundings were overgrown with weeds and trees.

Xiaoguo wondered if this was the Jiang family's old residence, but she immediately rebutted herself. That was impossible. Who would build a main residence here? This location would be more suited for an ancestral hall.

The more Xiaoguo thought about it, the more certain she became. Wasn't this environment and house like an ancestral hall? Since the ancestral hall of the Jiang family was here, the ancestral grave should be nearby.

Xiaoguo held Zhuang Zhuang's hand and walked forward. At this moment, Magistrate Liu got out of the car. Xiaoguo glanced at him. It was rare to see him step out during the day.
