Doted By The Regent King-Chapter 1104 - 1102: Becoming a Person of Use

As Purple Jade moved around, everyone who needed to know about Wufu settling in Changan with her mother was informed, including those under her command and those on the estate.

Purple Jade, having a background as a Hidden Guard, received the most rigorous training. To put it bluntly, if she chose to be ruthless, she would be just as formidable as Wufu. On several estates, she dealt harshly with a few duplicitous and ambitious individuals, promoting those who deserved it, discouraging others from harboring ill thoughts.

As for the business at the tavern, it was partly for serving the people, so the Government Office would be attentive to it. The shopkeeper was competent, so there was no major issue.

The same went for the grocery store, where Purple Jade took Duan Rong for the handover.

After everything was sorted out, it was clear to everyone that even if Wufu and the others went to Changan City, Huayang’s properties and such would be managed by Steward Duan.

Indeed, Duan Rong, whose health had recovered, was entrusted with great expectations to become the steward of this area. Besides managing these properties, he would secretly train talent, as these individuals would become new blood for a particular organization in the future.

Apart from accompanying Duan Rong, Liu Jin was also around, observing and learning. Over the days, Liu Jin’s mindset changed, and he quietly approached Purple Jade.

"You said you’re not going to Changan anymore?" Purple Jade looked at Liu Jin in surprise and said, "Weren’t you determined to serve beside the young lady?"

Liu Jin, who was the second to serve Wufu after Hongyu, was undoubtedly loyal. It was expected that wherever Wufu went, he would go too, naturally becoming her confidant among confidants. But now, he says he’s not going?

"Sister Zi Yu, I certainly want to stay by the young lady’s side, but you see, this year, I’m only eight years old!" Liu Jin said with some helplessness and frustration, wishing he were older.

"Speak your mind."

"I’m too young, and there are you and other brothers beside the young lady. I can’t offer much help and might even become a burden to her. If so, what would be the point of going and causing trouble? Being appreciated by the young lady, given this opportunity, I’ve been thinking that over these years, I should learn more skills from Uncle Duan to better assist the young lady in the future!"

Being favored by Wufu was Liu Jin’s fortune, but he didn’t want to become a burden, enjoying privileges without making any contributions. In this way, even if the young lady didn’t say anything, he would be disappointed in himself!

Hence, he felt he had to make himself useful before he had the right to be by her side and could do so with confidence!

Listening to his words, Purple Jade sighed lightly and said, "Liu Jin has grown up!" After a pause, she added, "You must think it through. There’s someone named Xiao Qi now by the young lady’s side, brought back by her from a dangerous situation. Liu Jin, relationships develop from interaction!"

Liu Jin’s expression changed slightly, but he quickly returned to normal, pursing his lips and saying, "I understand what Sister means, but I still want to follow my path. I believe if I’m useful, the young lady will employ me!"

Purple Jade’s eyes flashed with a hint of admiration as she said, "It’s good that you won’t get trapped in a rut. Your thoughts are also very correct; one must first make themselves valuable for others to appreciate them. If you are talented, the young lady will never overlook you! Furthermore, the young lady’s journey is long and needs many people along the way, do you understand?"

Liu Jin thought for a moment, then tentatively asked, "Is Sister referring to Ninth Master?"

Purple Jade nodded.

Liu Jin immediately said, "I understand. I will definitely make myself useful. Please, Sister, tell the young lady on my behalf!"

Purple Jade smiled gently and nodded.
