"Things aren't quite that simple," Yan Aohan said with a faint smile. "As you mentioned, Mr. Hua has been poisoned for fifteen years. Fifteen years ago, although he was seventy-six, he was still a man of great wisdom. Everyone relied on his expertise in mathematics."
She continued, "Actually, finding the culprit isn't difficult. Fifteen years ago, Mr. Hua fell seriously ill and went to the countryside. Her house in the capital was left in the care of others, and the books here remained untouched. So, if someone wanted to poison her, it would be easy to trace."
Zhu Yanyi raised an eyebrow slightly. "Let the authorities handle this. If they can't find the truth, then you can step in. But even if you find out the truth now, don't say anything. There are some matters we should not interfere with."
Every world has its own rules of survival. Zhu Yanyi did not believe that intervening would bring any good results, so she did not wish to interfere too much with the affairs of this world.
Yan Aohan agreed with Zhu Yanyi's viewpoint, but he teased her, "Wife, you are becoming more and more like a cultivator."
Zhu Yanyi glanced at Yan Aohan. "Speaking of the demeanor of a cultivator, you said yesterday that I can enter the Sage Academy within five years, right?"
Yan Aohan paused slightly, then nodded, his expression unchanged. "The news from Gu Jun says I can go whenever I want. Within five years, you can choose the time freely."
Zhu Yanyi nodded. "And you are returning to the Underworld next year, is that correct?"
Yan Aohan fell silent for a moment. "Yes."
"You are reluctant to leave me," Zhu Yanyi said firmly, looking directly at Yan Aohan.
Yan Aohan was silent again. "Reluctant. Since I found you, I have been unwilling to leave your side for even a step."
Zhu Yanyi smiled proudly. "Of course. I am so smart, so understanding, and so good. It would be strange if you could bear to leave me." Then her expression turned serious.
"But Aohan, we both have our own careers. The Underworld is your responsibility. You cannot ignore it, can you? You have accompanied me for more than ten years. Now, you should go back to handle urgent matters. You can still come out to accompany me later."
She continued, "Moreover, I will also be very busy here. I plan to stabilize the school in these few years, then hand it over to my senior brother and my brother-in-law to manage together, and then go to the Sage Academy."
Zhu Yanyi explained further, "I have thought about it. I will establish the school this year, start recruiting students at the beginning of next year, and it should be stable in about a year. The year after next, if everything goes well, I will go to the Sage Academy. I need to learn many things about medicine. Although the Sage Academy said I can arrange my time freely within five years, I want to go early. I haven't forgotten that there are only thirty years left here. I will not waste time."
Hearing this, Yan Aohan began to ponder silently. After a while, he tilted his head and looked at Zhu Yanyi. "Alright. After the New Year next year, I will return to the Underworld. I will handle things as quickly as possible, and then go to the Sage Academy to find you."
Zhu Yanyi nodded slightly. "Before you leave, remember to handle some matters. This departure is not for a short time; it will be several years. Do not let your relatives worry."
"En, there is still a year left. I will arrange everything properly," Yan Aohan said with a smile.
Seeing that Yan Aohan had come to terms with it, Zhu Yanyi also smiled. "Actually, I think this is quite good. We both work hard for our own careers. How wonderful is that?"
Yan Aohan helplessly rubbed Zhu Yanyi's head. "You are always so optimistic."
"Life requires optimism. I want to eat roast duck today. Let's go eat roast duck." Zhu Yanyi changed the topic so abruptly that Yan Aohan could only helplessly turn the steering wheel.
"Alright. Since my wife wants to eat roast duck, we will go eat roast duck."
The business of the roast duck shop was getting better and better. Fortunately, Yan Aohan knew people inside, so it was very easy to enter. They did not need to wait for a seat and could walk directly into a private room.
Zhu Yanyi ordered a roast duck served three ways. However, for the sliced duck meat, she ordered the portion for two people. Although they were eating roast duck, Zhu Yanyi also ordered a vegetable dish and a plate of shredded cucumber.
Zhu Yanyi ate happily. Seeing Zhu Yanyi eating happily, Yan Aohan also ate with great joy. After finishing the last bit of duck bone soup, Zhu Yanyi let out a satisfied sigh. "So satisfying. It has been a long time since I ate so freely."
"If you want to eat, I can accompany you to come again tomorrow," Yan Aohan said. Seeing Zhu Yanyi's satisfied look, his heart was also filled with a sense of fulfillment.
Zhu Yanyi shook her head. "No way. Good things cannot be eaten every day. We should come once in a while. That is the most comfortable way. If we eat it every day, we will not have this feeling of satisfaction, nor will we cherish it."
Yan Aohan smiled slightly upon hearing this. "Then I will bring you here again after a while. Anyway, I can still accompany you here for more than a year."
"En, good." Zhu Yanyi nodded seriously.
After finishing their meal, the two smiled at each other, paid the bill, and left. As soon as they walked out of the roast duck shop, Zhu Yanyi saw someone at a noodle stall nearby and was slightly stunned.
"What's wrong?" Yan Aohan noticed Zhu Yanyi's unusual expression and asked immediately.
"Let's talk in the car," Zhu Yanyi said.
Seeing Zhu Yanyi's reaction, Yan Aohan knew it was not a major issue. Back in the car, Zhu Yanyi finally spoke. "You know I was reborn. In my previous life, I had a regret: my nephew lost his father at a young age."
"In my previous life, my brother-in-law, Xie Jun, was from Bailu Village in Sicheng Town. He did not have a high level of education, but he was very smart. Therefore, he became a construction contractor at that time. Who could have thought that during a project, he fell from a scaffold and died. As a result, my nephew lost his father at a young age. Later, my sister and I raised him together."
"Was your brother-in-law in your previous life a good person?" Yan Aohan understood the issue immediately.
"Yes, my brother-in-law in my previous life was very good. He treated me like his own younger sister. If I came home from working outside and returned late at night, he would drive with my sister to pick me up."
"If I had some matters, he would not shirk his responsibility. He would rather neglect his own work to help me with mine first."
"He was also very filial to my parents. He would visit them every day. He was truly a very good person. The only point was that my brother-in-law met my sister after a divorce. It was a second marriage. Although he had no children when he married my sister, he did have a marital history."
After finishing, Zhu Yanyi sighed deeply. "I just saw her. There was a woman beside her. She should be her current wife, Pan Fang."
Yan Aohan thought for a moment and said, "Do you want to find out why he and his current wife are here?"
