Yu Xiaolian naturally picked up on Yu Zishu's probing within his words, but having told many lies before, Yu Xiaolian was already very experienced. She remained composed and said calmly, "I learned some words from my father before; never thought I had anything special. After leaving River Bay, I tried business, and when I started bookkeeping, I found I was quick and accurate with accounts. Hehe, maybe it's because of past poverty, I have a sensitivity to money. Now, I've earned the title of Mathematics Officer, making my cousin laugh."
Yu Zishu had no intention of investigating how Yu Xiaolian became a seventh-rank officer. Whether Yu Xiaolian relied on himself or Su Jingchen, it had no impact on him.
Or perhaps, Yu Xiaolian becoming a seventh-rank officer was actually beneficial to him.
No matter the means, it was Yu Xiaolian's ability that made it possible; his cousin was no longer the little troublemaker or scapegoat of their childhood.
