Tiewa then took Yang Shu and Yang Huai away. LittleDumpling still didn't want to leave, but Lady Long came over to pick Yang Liu up and beckoned him. Little Dumpling had no choice but to pout and leave while looking back every few steps, as if he was abandoned. Yan Shengrui, Ling Jingxuan and others felt so amused.

"This child is naughty sometimes, but quite obedient. Jingxuan, you have taught him very well."

Chu Yunhan's words were with undisguised jealousy. Whether it's Wen, Wu, little Dumpling , or even Xiaobei, he had all taught them well.

"Come on, don't you know about me? I don't know how to be a father at all. You don't know that little Dumpling is a pervert!"

Ling Jingxuan dare not really take credit for it. In their opinion, it was entirely because the children were quite sensible themselves. Apart from providing them with good environment, he had hardly taught them anything, let alone little Dumpling. He had been spoiled by everyone, and he, as his daddy, was kind of strict to him.

"Forget about that. Shaoqing, you've come just at the right time. I guess Jingpeng should have told you about the situation in Nanjiang. I'm currently competing against the Kang family at no cost, and I still have the upper hand so far. However, the losses are indeed quite huge. The expenses are mostly covered by Jingpeng, but my biggest concern is not whether I can destroy the Kang family. In fact, if there's no mistake, the Kang family will face huge losses in a few days. I am afraid that we cannot fully take their everything as our own. In addition to the four major families, there are also some wealthy families, whose abilities cannot be underestimated. Once the Kang family shows signs of fatigue, all big families in Nanjiang, including the Jiang family, may quickly devour them. I am afraid we'll need your assistance. All the business lines and money in the Kang family's hands belong to the court and cannot fall into the hands of others."

He was not afraid of trouble, but he was afraid of getting into the same trouble again and again. He didn't know they'd come, so he intended to ask Yuan Shaoqi to persuade the Tuoba family to cooperate with them. The risks inside were undoubtedly big, but now it was clearly not necessary. One Zeng Shaoqing was like several Tuoba families. Xinyuan and Baiyunge had opened branches throughout the kingdom was not only because of his identity as Lord Zeng.

"Hmm, I have already gotten to know about it. I will convene a few more shopkeepers later to ask about the situation. Leave things of the Kang family to me."

Zeng Shaoqing was rarely so serious. He did not come empty-handed. Since he came, he must help them solve some problems.

"With you here, I feel much relieved. Yunhan, the branch of Hanling School in Nanjiang has been built. Currently, I am entrusting the Yao family with full agency. Are you interested in taking a look?"

Since Chu Yunhan no longer presided over the court, he had been fully in charge of Hanling School now, and the dean they claimed to the outside world was also him. Now that he and Zeng Shaoqing were married, of course, he hoped that he would be responsible for things of the school.

"When passing by Shanyang City, I went to see it with Shaoqing. From the appearance, it is not inferior to the main school in the capital. Although a bit smaller, given the situation in Nanjiang, it's already good enough. The four cities are not far away from each other, and repairing the road connecting the four cities in the future can undoubtedly save a lot of time for children going to school. If it develops well, we can build another one in Enan or Yunhai City later, so that all children in Nanjiang can go to school."

Chu Yunhan had already familiarized himself with everything in Nanjiang. With him and Zeng Shaoqing, the burden on Yan Shengrui and Ling Jingxuan could be reduced by half.
