Chapter 1844: Inexperienced with Children
Seeing her sister's sorrow, Grandma Lu reached out and held her hand, whispering, "Your blessings are still ahead."
The journey into the mountains this time yielded little, mainly due to the short duration and the distraction caused by Yuan Gui's presence. Upon hearing that Grandma Lu had come to Hedeng Village, Yuan Gui lost interest in s...
Chapter 1843: So Many Relatives
Disregarding their disdain, everyone showed a keen interest in going into the mountains.
The Lu family used to venture into the mountains often. Even when Shu Rui was young, she would go into the mountains to gather wild vegetables.
However, it had been a couple of years since they had done that. Most of the family now lived in the town, and ...
Chapter 1842: I'm Actually Good at Hunting
Shu Yu quickly calmed down and saw the two old ladies crying almost out of breath. She promptly asked Ying Xi to help support them.
"Grand Aunt, Grandma, let's go inside first. We can talk slowly inside."
The old ladies sniffled and held onto each other's hands. "Yes, let's go inside. Don't block the doorway."
Nodding in agr...
Chapter 1841: Sisters Reunited at Last
Grandma Fang suddenly stood up, her joy evident as she said, "Ah Yu has come?"
"Yes," the child replied, "She arrived with two carriages, and there are quite a few people."
Grandma Fang was taken aback, and the old village chief exchanged a glance with his wife. The county Princess had always come quietly with only her maid, so why the...
Chapter 1840: County princess of Wen'an Arrives
With Shu Yu's explanation, the members of the Lu family felt at ease.
They finally understood what had transpired in Chenggu County during this time, as well as the reasons for Shu Yu's appointment as a county princess and the rationale behind Meng Yunzheng's continued stay in the city.
Honestly, they were quite excited, espec...
Chapter 1839: The New Magistrate You All Know
When it came to the magistrate of Chenggu County, Shu Yu suddenly straightened her back and exclaimed, "Ah!"
Everyone quickly turned to look at her, asking, "What's wrong?"
"There's something I forgot to tell you. The previous magistrate of Chenggu County was colluding with rebels. He has been imprisoned and will be escorted to ...
Chapter 1838: The Hospitable Three Young Men
Meng Xiaoshu was still very enthusiastic, suggesting to buy two more servants to assign one to each person, ensuring they could respond promptly to any needs.
Shu Yu was taken aback; staying at the escort agency already felt intrusive, and now with the idea of having personal servants, she decided it was better to leave.
She imme...
Chapter 1837: Backing from Her Maternal Family
After crying for a while, Grandma Lu angrily pounded the table and gritted her teeth, "Chen Bing, that despicable beast! Our Fang family was truly blind to have considered him. He used to seem so honest on the surface, but he's actually a cunning and treacherous villain. He made my sister suffer for so many years, and I won't let him off eas...
Chapter 1836: I Know She's Not Well
Shu Rui and his companions were very pleased and eagerly agreed.
Grandma Lu couldn't help shaking her head as she told them, "Alright, all of you go back to your rooms and rest for now. If there's anything, we can discuss it later."
Lu Sanzhu was exhausted and heard this, so he turned around and left with his son, saying, "I've chosen a r...
Chapter 1835: Eager to Join
Coincidentally, Lu Sanzhu was very interested in traveling far, even more so than the children, and he was enthusiastic about it.
He had never been outside Dong'an Prefecture before and had been eager to go out and see the world, especially after hearing his second brother talk about the customs and places he had visited in Linzhang Prefecture. However,...
Chapter 1834: Travel Plans
This plan was originally intended to be implemented after the New Year, so it was still early, and everyone was discussing it.
Shu Rui was planning to go on a journey, and Er Niu, as a student of Master Wen, naturally could accompany him. With a companion on the road, they wouldn't feel as anxious.
In fact, compared to Shu Rui, who had already tra...
Chapter 1833: The Magnifying Glass on Shu Yu
Shu Yu frowned, "What are you talking about? Comforting people, inviting them for meals?"
Lu Sanzhu became interested and leaned over, saying, "Based on what I heard on the way, a few days ago someone fell, and you helped them up and asked if they were hurt."
Shu Yu tried to remember for a moment and recalled, "That was when I wa...
Chapter 1832: Observing Words and Expressions - Lu Sanzhu
The crowd stifled laughter as Lu Sanzhu's adaptable nature became even more refined.
Shu Yu suddenly realized, "So in Third Uncle's heart, I actually have so many virtues."
Lu Sanzhu nodded vigorously, "Of course, you are the most remarkable person in our family. You have so many virtues that others can't compare. Is...
Chapter 1831: I Am the County Princess of Wen'an
Meng Xiaoshu didn't quite understand why Uncle Lu from the Lu family was so excited. He hesitated and nodded, "Yes, yes, what's the matter?"
"No, nothing." Lu Sanzhu shook his head with great regret, sighed, and suddenly turned serious. "I just feel so regretful. I didn't expect us to come at the wrong time and miss it like this."<...
Chapter 1828: This County Princess Must Be Up to No Good
The old lady was taken aback. "What, what County Princess?"
Lu Sanzhu rolled up his pant legs and directly boarded the old lady's carriage. There was no choice; the person who was originally on the carriage shaft, Ying Dong, immediately jumped down and ran to the back carriage to drive it.
The two carriages, one in fr...
Chapter 1830: Meeting the In-Laws
Upon hearing this, Grandma Lu breathed a sigh of relief, "So that's the case."
As long as they weren't here specifically to see County Princess Wen'an, that was good. Otherwise, the County Princess would be too formidable and frightening.
The gatekeeper brought along two people and led two carriages inside the courtyard. Onlookers at the ga...
Chapter 1829: Many People at the Entrance
"Why not?" Lu Erbai thought it was quite possible. With his daughter's personality, as long as she was willing, she could get along with anyone.
Lu Sanzhu glanced at his second brother and gave him a look that said, 'You don't understand Ah Yu as well as I do.' He continued, "To become friends, both parties need to have similar temperament...
Chapter 1827: Trouble Arises, Ah Yu Has Been Bullied
Two carriages, one in front and one behind, carried a total of eight people.
Upon entering the city, the people in the carriages lifted the curtain and looked around at the surroundings.
In the back carriage, a few people chatted excitedly, their heads crammed at the window as they curiously observed the scene before them...
Chapter 1826: Two Carriages Enter the City
Qiao Rou is the young lady who was with Jiang Kuanyu across the river.
This decision surprised Shu Yu and the others, and Lu Wu seemed a bit embarrassed as he explained, "Actually, when we were in the black market, Miss Qiao Rou helped me once."
P
Although they didn't have much interaction afterwards, Lu Wu remembered that favor.
Chapter 1825: Placement Issues for the Young Ladies
From then on, neither Tao Qin nor Zhang Shi set foot in the Meng residence.
Later, Meng Han still paid attention and learned that Tao Qin eventually married Master Jin as planned.
However, she was soon rejected by Master Jin. He had concubines who were all enchantingly beautiful. Since Tao Qin became the legitimate wife, s...
Chapter 1824: The Best in the World with You
Shu Yu playfully tapped her forehead, "Do you really think that anyone who deals with the Tao Qin is on your side? I remember the first time we met, I slapped the Tao Qin, and you immediately opened up to me."
Meng Han felt a bit embarrassed, "Not exactly, I do consider people individually."
Looking at Shu Yu's expression, she co...
Chapter 1823: "I Gave Her Two Taels of Silver"
In this turn of events, she had ventured into a path from which there was no return.
Half an hour later, Tao Ling returned, only to find Master Jin entwined with Tao Qin.
Tao Ling caught them in the act, and her screams drew the estate's servants, leading to a chaotic scene that spiraled out of control.
Tao Qin lay uncon...
Chapter 1822: Caught in Her Own Trap
However, Tao Ling immediately sensed that something was amiss. She usually wore Tao Qin's old clothes. Occasionally, they might have new clothes for the New Year, but definitely not this year.
With their father having just passed away, wearing a new set of clothes for the New Year was already quite a luxury. They wouldn't have the mindset to bu...
Chapter 1821: Tao Qin's Scheme
Zhang Shi was utterly distressed for a moment. The family was on the brink of financial ruin, but both her eldest daughter and youngest son were accustomed to a good life. Asking them to endure poverty and hardship was like asking them to lift the roof off.
After much thought, Zhang Shi came up with the idea of selling their current house.
As ...
Chapter 1820: The Second Miss of the Tao Family is a Werewolf
Wanting to harm others but ending up harming herself?
Shu Yu suddenly became interested and asked with raised eyebrows, "What's going on? Who did she want to harm?"
Meng Han pursed her lips. "Tao Ling."
Shu Yu momentarily forgot who Tao Ling was, but then Meng Han lowered her voice. "She's my second cousin...
Chapter 1819: Tao Qin is Getting Married
Shu Yu put down what she was working on and walked out of the room.
"What's going on?" she asked.
Despite the freezing weather, Meng Han had sweat on her forehead, indicating she had rushed here.
She stopped in front of Shu Yu, her face filled with curiosity, "Sister Shu Yu, something big has happened."
Shu Yu led her i...
Chapter 1818: Chen Bing Hasn't Returned Yet
Grandma Fang became increasingly bewildered, "Congratulations for what?"
The two women exchanged glances, "Sister Fang, you don't know? Didn't your granddaughter say she was conferred the title of County Princess of Wen'an by the emperor?"
Grandma Fang was utterly stunned, and even Yuan Gui froze in place.
"What are you say...
Chapter 1817: Congratulations to Sister Fang
However, upon hearing this, Grandma Fang felt somewhat uneasy.
"When a man becomes successful and well-known, plenty of women will try to catch his attention. If some influential and noble family takes an interest in Meng Yunzheng, they might insist on marrying their daughters to him. What can we do if they're overbearing?"
Shu Y...
Chapter 1816: Grandma Fang, the Beauty Enthusiast
The news about Meng Family Escort Agency receiving an imperial plaque and Shu Yu becoming the county princess of Wen'an had quickly spread among the wealthy households in Chenggu County.
On the second day of the lunar new year, everyone brought gifts to pay their respects.
Little did they know that Shu Yu and Meng Yunzheng h...
Chapter 1815: Shu Yu Becomes the Princess of Wen'an County
But only Meng Pei and Shu Yu knew that Meng Yunzheng had no intention of becoming an official in the future.
They both felt that the Emperor seemed to be withholding some big move.
Before they could ponder further, Tang Wenqian suddenly raised his head and glanced at Shu Yu.
Then, he took out another edict fr...
