Chapter 237 Timely Rain
“Not anymore,” Jiang Yu said with a smile. She looked at the cute little braids in Hui Mo’s hair and thought of the pirate movies she had seen before, and the brilliant captain’s heroic youth.
"What?" Hui Mo was stunned, never expecting Jiang Yu's answer. Even Keslan turned around in surprise.
“However, we need to sign an agreement, an agreement with the legal force of the Empire,” Jiang Yu explained. “I will draft the terms of the agreement. Can you accept that?”
He spoke to Hui Mo, but his eyes were fixed on Keslan.
Keslan blinked, showing no particular reaction.
"Ah, of course... of course there's no problem." Hui Mo glanced at Keslan and, seeing that the leader had no objections, stammered his agreement.
Jiang Yu made this decision after talking with Fan Qingyin.
Although Keslan is the leader of the dark organization, he comes from royalty. With the perspective and demeanor of a top nobleman, coupled with his vague feelings of affection for her, he wouldn't do anything tasteless that she would explicitly reject.
He values the organization he founded, and he also values the members within it. This was evident in our brief conversation just now.
An agreement would be most appropriate.
This not only fulfilled Hui Mo's gratitude towards Wilman, but also ensured that Wilman's house could be properly taken care of.
In addition, Jiang Yu thought to himself that this way, Keslan would no longer have to live in the lord's castle.
Keslan also realized Jiang Yu's meaning and scoffed inwardly, as if he insisted on living in her house.
Hollande just needed a place to stay; staying at her house would make her seem like she was begging for a ride, and she always kept a high wall around her head.
Sigh, Keslan inwardly despised herself. How pathetic, how pathetic. Looking at Jiang Yu again, she couldn't help but feel a bit of resentment.
Jiang Yu didn't care; he simply pretended not to see it.
Having resolved the matter of the Wilman family mansion, Jiang Yu prepared to visit the nobles.
These past two days, Jiang Yu has been spending more time with the common people. On the one hand, Lin Yi has just swiftly purged the nobles, and she's also temporarily giving them the cold shoulder, not letting them quickly see her true intentions.
On the other hand, the incident involving the Wilman family was recent and undoubtedly a major event. Since it involved royalty, the details were unknown to most, but it was inevitable that people would connect it to her being away from the territory for so long.
Therefore, the nobles were eager to observe her and try to figure out her attitude, while she needed to calmly act as if nothing had happened.
The noblewoman who had been by Jiang Yu's side all along was the same lady who had introduced Jiang Yu to Madame Wilman.
Life is unpredictable. Lady Wilman was once so glorious. As the head of the Pearl-Dwelling family, Wilman was a guest of honor wherever she went in the county, and even the lord looked up to them.
Unfortunately, some are dead and others are scattered.
They must have committed some unforgivable sin, otherwise, why would such a kind-hearted lord remain silent about it?
The lord's will cannot be defied; it seems the former glory of the Wilman family is destined to vanish into the silence shrouded in mist.
In any case, with the position of the Wilman family vacant, the lord will inevitably promote other families to become his handy tools.
Instead of lamenting others' tragedies, it's better to find a way to get noticed by the lord. That way, the family can rise to the next level.
"My lord, this trade fair was truly spectacular," Lady Halbus interjected.
Jiang Yu smiled and looked at the lady from the old noble family rooted in Hollandpur, her gaze carrying a hint of encouragement. She didn't believe Mrs. Halbus was just offering casual flattery; she must have something to say.
The Halbus family are native to Hollandpur, where they grew up and prospered, making them the oldest and most illustrious family in the region. Before the Empire dispatched any lords to other areas, the Halbus held considerable influence in the county.
“My husband’s younger brother just returned from traveling abroad. He has loved business since he was young, and he has traveled back and forth all these years, visiting every place in the three great empires.”
"He just told me very excitedly that the trade fair you organized was the best he had ever seen, and he highly praised your vision and foresight!"
Mrs. Halbs was no longer young, but her pampered life had kept her face looking radiant, and her beaming smile was not offensive.
"Oh? It seems he's not only very good at business, but also quite knowledgeable about commerce." Jiang Yu immediately understood what she meant.
"So, is your relative back in the county visiting relatives? Is he married?"
Mrs. Halbs' eyes lit up immediately, and her smile became even more eager. "He's not young anymore. He's not leaving this time. As for settling down, he's too picky. He was too ambitious when he was choosing a partner in his youth."
"Sigh, how can pursuing girls be the same as doing business and venture capital? I've never succeeded, so I gave up. He wasn't particularly enthusiastic about settling down anyway. Without the constraints of family, he's constantly on the go."
"Now that I'm older and have seen all the world I wanted to see, I'm thinking about returning to my roots." Lady Halbus paused, but her smile didn't fade, and she said directly, "My lord, perhaps he can help you."
Jiang Yu looked at her, and a smile spread across his face.
"What a timely help, Madam. I'll trouble you to introduce me to this gentleman later."
“Of course, this is just a simple introduction.” Jiang Yu handed the beer that had been respectfully handed to Mrs. Halbus. “I heard it’s brewed with flower juice. Please try it and see if you like it.”
"Once I'm done with these busy days, I'll be waiting for you at the castle. I'll have to give you a proper welcome then, Madam and the gentleman who can be of great help to me."
"I would like to hear in detail about your experiences and insights over the years."
Mrs. Halbus accepted it with both hands and repeatedly said yes.
