Chapter 527: Lu Zhi’s plan, the Academy of All Sages?

"Yu Shu, can I have a word with you for a moment?"

Lu Zhi spoke bluntly, and she directly expressed her intention to talk to Yu Shu alone.

Hearing this, Yu Shu couldn't help but frowned slightly, but after just a moment, she quickly returned to normal and responded softly: "Sister, please come this way."

At this time, Yu Shu was thinking to herself that Lü Zhi suddenly asked to talk to her at this critical moment, and this matter was obviously not as simple as it seemed. However, Yu Shu knew very well that since Lü Zhi had already spoken, it would be inappropriate for her to refuse outright. So, she decided to accept the invitation.

Not long after, the two came to the pavilion in the courtyard. Yu Shu did not let the maid beside her follow her, after all, she wanted to deal with the questions or topics that Lu Zhi might raise alone. On the other hand, Lu Zhi, after experiencing the maid's betrayal last time, was still in fear and did not dare to bring any maid with her. She knew very well that in this mansion, except herself, anyone could be Gao Yao's spy or spies.

This was not because Lu Zhi really wanted to harm Gao Yao, but she was worried that her thoughts would be known by Gao Yao, which would cause Gao Yao's dissatisfaction. After all, she had already made a mistake once, and if it happened a second time, it was certain that Gao Yao would never give her any chance again.

"Sister, if you have any questions, please tell me directly. As long as I can do my best, I will do my best!"

Yu Shu knew that she was inferior to Lu Zhi in terms of wisdom and political tactics, but she was by no means stupid. In particular, Yu Shu knew the important position of Lu Zhi in Gao Yao's heart. It is no exaggeration to say that Lu Zhi was almost the person who helped Gao Yao the most in the backyard.

No matter what aspect, Lv Zhi can handle it on her own. Because of this, since Lv Zhi returned, Yu Shu always respectfully called her sister, and whenever Lv Zhi asked for something, Yu Shu would try her best to agree. However, at this moment, Yu Shu was not worried about whether Lv Zhi was satisfied, but whether she coveted the throne of the master of the backyard.

"Yu Shu, don't worry. I have no special reason to come here this time. My husband will be back soon, so I want to ask you to go to the Chamber of Commerce to host related activities."

"Me? You want me to host the Chamber of Commerce activities?" Yu Shu was surprised when she heard this, as if she had never expected Lu Zhi to make such a request. After all, Chamber of Commerce activities have always been tedious and complicated, requiring considerable ability and experience to be competent. And she felt that she was still not mature enough in this area, and it was difficult for her to take on this important task.

"Just relax, I will do my best to help you and protect your bottom line. My husband will be back soon, and he will definitely ask you, Yu Yushu, about all the affairs in this family. If you don't know anything about this, won't it make my husband unhappy?"

Lü Zhi smiled and spoke softly. However, her eyes were always fixed on Yu Shu in front of her, as if she wanted to see through her calm face to see her true thoughts.

Yu Shu stood there quietly, without showing any emotion, but she had already put up a defense line deep in her heart. In this huge backyard, anyone could see what Lu Zhi was thinking - she just wanted to regain power. But now, she actually took the initiative to lend a hand to herself, which was really incredible and unusual!

"It seems that my sister still has doubts about my sincerity."

Lu Zhi saw Yu Shu's reaction clearly, and she stopped beating around the bush and pointed out the key point bluntly.

Upon hearing this, Yu Shu blushed and quickly shook her hand to explain: "Sister, please don't misunderstand me. I have no such intention. It's just that the affairs of the Chamber of Commerce have always been handled by you personally. I am afraid that there are many inappropriate things for me to intervene rashly this time. It is inevitable that I seem to be a bit presumptuous..."

"It's okay. I know what you're worried about. You can rest assured that I won't harm you. If my husband finds out, he will trust you more than me. You can rest assured. I did this just to get you to say a few good words for me in front of my husband. I also know what you're thinking. If one day my husband really rules the world, I will naturally help my sister advise him."

"I've also heard that Nurha has made many military achievements since he joined the army and has made many contributions in the Maurya Kingdom. He will definitely become a support for my sister in the future."

"Sister, you are too kind!"

Yu Shu was slightly startled at this moment. It seemed to be a simple conversation, which also showed that Lu Zhi had no intention of framing her. But it also expressed another reason, which was that Lu Zhi still had a lot of say. Whether it was about Nurha or about Tuan's destruction of the country, Lu Zhi was obviously very clear.

These simple words have already demonstrated Lu Zhi's ability. Not only did she know about Tuan's affairs, she even knew exactly how many military merits Nurha had made outside. This ability alone is something that Yu Shu can't catch up with now.

However, it also shows that Lu Zhi had no intention of pitting him, but just wanted to use him to win credit in front of Gao Yao. After all, even if he told Gao Yao about the Chamber of Commerce through him, Gao Yao knew very well that Lu Zhi was responsible for these things.

It was naturally inconvenient for Lu Zhi to speak. If Lu Zhi spoke, Gao Yao would inevitably be unhappy. On the contrary, if she spoke, Gao Yao would be more satisfied.

"Then I'll have to trouble you with this matter, sister. By the way, this is the freshly ground pearl powder, it's all top quality, sister, you have to pay more attention to maintenance."

At this time, Lu Zhi took out the best pearl powder from her bosom. There were no fake or inferior products at that time, and the quality of the products in Lu Zhi's hands would naturally not be bad. Moreover, these things did have the effect of beautifying and nourishing the skin.

Yu Shu finally breathed a sigh of relief after watching Lu Zhi leave. The pressure of being with Lu Zhi was still quite high, especially in her current position. If it wasn't for Tuan's revenge, Yu Shu really wanted to give up the responsibility of being the head of the backyard.

At the same time, as the news that Gao Yao was about to return came back, Lu Zhi was not the only one in the county city who was restless. Now the hottest thing in the county city was the establishment of the Zhongxian Academy, which was led by the Mo family. It was full of famous people from various families. In just a few months, it had accepted hundreds of students. However, Shangshan Academy was doing its best and there were no changes. It seemed that it did not take the Zhongxian Academy seriously.
