Just as he reached the gate, a slightly plump middle-aged aunt emerged from the house. Seeing Shen Siyuan following behind Wu Yugu, a trace of doubt flickered in her eyes as she smiled and asked, "Professor Wu, who is this?"
This should be the nanny Aunt Cai whom Wu Yugu had mentioned before.
Shen Siyuan nodded first to greet, "Hello, Aunt."
"This is Xiao Shen, here to discuss something with me."
Wu Yugu introduced briefly, leading Shen Siyuan straight to the study.
Upon entering the study, Shen Siyuan realized that the books he had glimpsed outside were just the tip of the iceberg.
The entire room was surrounded by tall bookshelves filled to the brim with books. Most covers were yellowed, and the pages brittle, clearly not recent publications, exuding a heavy sense of historical accumulation.
A wide, long table stood in the center of the study, unusually neat and sparse, with only a few ancient books spread open at the corner, beside a smoothly polished calligraphy brush.
