Jiang Yu personally wrote a letter and handed it to Lady Li, asking her to send someone to deliver it to her maternal grandfather, who resided far away in Jiangnan.
The Li family was not without talented scholars; it was simply that this particular individual had always been overlooked by the rest of the family, and he was currently living in dire straits. Because of his upbringing, in her previous life, after he had entered government service, he had remained cold toward the Li family, even refusing to acknowledge that he was one of them.
In this life, if she could find him and cultivate his talents, he would be able to sit for the imperial examinations this year, and with his aptitude, he would surely succeed. Jiang Yu trusted this man—who had ignored the Li family once he became successful in her past life—because when she had been thrown into a dark, lightless prison, he had been the very first person to attempt to rescue her.
