She is still the wet nurse of the current emperor, Emperor Qing.
This is why, when Ye Qingmei was murdered, Wu Zhu said he would take Fan Xian to a safe place.
Chen Pingping suggested going to Danzhou.
Because the old lady lives here, this is the safest place.
Upon approaching, Su Yu cupped his hands in a respectful bow and paid his respects to Madam Fan.
"Junior Su Yu greets the old lady!"
After Su Yu bowed, he did not say anything more.
Because he had already revealed his identity and purpose before entering the room.
At this point, we should patiently wait for the old lady's reply.
Of course, he certainly didn't mean that he had traveled all the way here to take Fan Xian as his disciple.
Su Yu simply said that he was on his way to the capital for the imperial examination and was just passing through this place.
Because they were short of money, they happened to see a notice posted in the city.
It is said that the Fan family is looking for a tutor for their young master.
So he volunteered himself.
The old lady nodded, then gave a kind smile.
"There is no need to be polite, sir."
"From now on, I'll trouble you to take good care of my grandson's studies."
Fan Xian is now four years old, which is the age when he begins his formal education.
So the Fan family posted notices in the city to hire a tutor, but several days had already passed.
It's not that no one comes, but that those who do come walk at an angle.
Madam Fan was worried that Danzhou was too remote to find a good tutor for Fan Xian.
So he planned to send someone to a more distant place to hire them.
Hearing from the servants that Su Yu from Yingzhou had come to apply for a teaching position, he was overjoyed.
This person passed the county-level imperial examination at the age of twelve and the provincial-level imperial examination at the age of fifteen.
Although Su Yu is young, he is so talented and gifted.
He was the perfect choice to be his unruly grandson's tutor.
So he immediately instructed Steward Zhou to bring Su Yu in with the servants.
One wanted to take on an apprentice, and the other wanted to find a teacher.
Soon, Su Yu and the old lady had finalized the details of Su Yu's decision to teach at the mansion.
After everything was agreed upon, the old lady glanced at Steward Zhou.
Butler Zhou understood and went to find the young master, Fan Xian.
Before long, a four-year-old child came in, wobbling like a little adult.
His face was filled with an innocent and adorable smile.
Seeing the old lady sitting in the center of the courtyard, she spoke in a childish voice.
"grandmother."
The old lady had a kind face, but she didn't beckon him into her arms in an overly affectionate way.
He merely glanced at Fan Xian and nodded indifferently.
Then he looked at Su Yu and slowly spoke.
"This is Mr. Su Yu from Yingzhou."
"From now on, I will be your teacher."
"Come quickly and greet Mr. Su."
Following his grandmother's gaze, Fan Xian turned around, faced Su Yu, and respectfully bowed.
"Student Fan Xian greets Mr. Su."
Then, as if he had thought of something, he suddenly looked up.
That innocent little face.
He displayed complex emotions completely out of character for his age.
Fan Xian then carefully examined the new schoolteacher for a few more moments.
That face, that aura, it's so familiar!
He seems... I've seen him somewhere before.
Yingzhou?
I don't remember him; he probably hasn't been to this place.
Su Yu?
Su Yu!
I remember now, it was him!

Chapter Five: Taking Fan Xian as an Apprentice! A Super Gift Pack!
Several images flashed through Fan Xian's mind in an instant.
Su Yu was someone Wu Zhu had seen four years ago when they were fleeing with him and passed through a village.
Uncle Wuzhu also asked Su Yu for half a bowl of breast milk.
Fan Xian vaguely remembered that it was the first time Uncle Wuzhu fed him milk.
He almost choked to death...
Fortunately, Su Yu was there, otherwise he would have left this beautiful world right then and there!
Thinking of this, Fan Xian looked at Su Yu with a knowing gaze.
In addition to respect, there was also a sense of gratitude.
Fan Xian remembered that the village was very remote, far away from here.
Back then, we parted ways hastily, and I thought we would never see each other again.
Unexpectedly, fate is so wondrous.
Surprisingly, Su Yu became his tutor again.
It's truly amazing!
Just as Fan Xian was surprised, his expression became complicated.
But he didn't realize that everyone in the room was also watching him.
Especially the chubby housekeeper, Zhou, who looked utterly disgusted.
I wonder what got into this young master this time.
The old lady looked somewhat displeased.
Although I don't know what Fan Xian is thinking, I've somehow become curious about this gentleman.
However, it is very impolite to stare at someone as soon as you meet them.
So the old lady immediately scolded him.
"Fan Xian, you mustn't be rude to Mr. Su!"
Upon hearing this, Fan Xian immediately bowed respectfully to Su Yu to apologize, and then chuckled.
"The moment I saw you, I felt an inexplicable sense of closeness."
"I also felt that the gentleman was outstanding in appearance and demeanor."
"The student has never seen such a divine figure since birth."
"Therefore, I became curious and took a second look. It was the student's rudeness."
"Please forgive me, sir!"
Fan Xian certainly couldn't say that he had memories when he was still a baby.
I'm afraid even this gentleman would be frightened if I told him.
I could only offer some random, exaggerated praise.
After that speech, no one could find fault with his manners.
The old lady shook her head, feeling rather helpless about her grandson.
The child is only four years old, but the things he says are always surprisingly mature.
She didn't understand who had taught him these things.
Su Yu stood aside, quietly watching Fan Xian unleash his full power.
Then he smiled faintly.
"Ah."
"I feel a sense of familiarity when I see you."
Upon hearing this, Steward Zhou glanced at Fan Xian with his small eyes, his expression displeased.
Although Fan Xian is young, he really knows how to be charming and obsequious.
She had a whole repertoire of ways to please people, and even the new schoolteacher fell for it.
Just wait and see. Once this gentleman has been teaching him for a while, he'll see just how unruly he is.
Once Fan Xian has angered the master and driven him away, he will write a letter to the second wife in the capital.
