As predicted by Xiang Weinan, County Magistrate Xie was indeed a gentle and non-radical person. However, when he met Shu Yu, he was friendly and kind. Since he came to take office, he naturally wanted to inquire about the situation in the county. Among all matters, Shu Yu's achievements were the first to be known. After all, the emperor had brought Xiang Weinan back to the capital under the pretext of discovering and presenting new crops. Therefore, someone like Shu Yu, who could grow such a crop, could not be ignored.
Even though Magistrate Xie believed in the doctrine of the Golden Mean and would not rashly reform, having someone like Shu Yu, who could significantly improve his political achievements, made him happy.
Shu Yu's first meeting with Magistrate Xie was pleasant. Although they didn't share the same ideas and had a close relationship like with Xiang Weinan, it was clear that if she had any plans in the future, she wouldn't encounter any obstacles.
With that, Shu Yu felt relieved.
Xiang Weinan also felt relieved.
He began the handover with Magistrate Xie, and the county exam finally ended amid their busy schedules.
The county exam was small in scale, and the results were quickly announced, just five or six days after the exam.
On the third day after the county exam results were announced, Xiang Weinan prepared to return to the capital. He loaded three or four carriages full of belongings and was ready to set off.
Shu Yu didn't see that concubine again. She guessed that the concubine was taken care of before Xiao Shi left. Shu Yu probably guessed that the concubine was the one behind the troubles she faced.
She didn't know how Xiao Shi was doing now.
Xiang Weinan was returning this time to deal with the Xiao family and the third prince. He hoped for a good outcome.
On the day he left, Shu Yu accompanied him out of the city.
In addition to her, there were Zhao Xi, Lu Sanzhu, and some other wealthy families in the county who had a good relationship with Xiang Weinan.
Zhao Xi gave Xiang Weinan some medicine bottles, saying, "I don't have much to give you. The officialdom in the capital is different from here, full of tricks and dangers. Be careful there. Take these medicines; it's a token of my regard."
Xiang Weinan patted his shoulder and thanked him, "Thank you. Take care of yourself. I won't be able to make it for the birth of your child, so let me congratulate you in advance."
As for the gifts, he had already left them behind.
Zhao Xi sighed secretly and was about to return to Shu Yu's side when a figure approached from the left and began talking to Shu Yu first.
"Second Miss." Tang Wenqian still addressed her as he did in the past when they were in Shishi Village. Since Shu Yu's marriage was arranged, he felt uncomfortable for a while, but now he had come to terms with it, and his gaze at Shu Yu was very gentle.
However, as he spoke, he kept his head slightly lowered and didn't look at her much. He even seemed a little embarrassed. "This time, when Minister Xiang returns to the capital, I will follow him. However, I'm not familiar with the capital and have no foundation there. It wouldn't be appropriate to bring my parents along. It might be a bit abrupt, but I want to ask Second Miss for help when they encounter any difficulties. I'm grateful, and if there's anything I can do for you in the future, just let me know."
Shu Yu looked at Tang Wenqian's parents, who were not far away, wiping tears, and smiled, "You helped my elder sister before. If there's anything your parents can't solve, as long as I have the ability, I won't stand by and watch."
She didn't like Tang Wenqian's mother, but Tang Wenqian was genuinely a good person.
In consideration of that, if she could help, it would not be a problem.
