Shu Yu tilted her head and looked up at the sky, "So, the main purpose of your master's return is to make medicinal food?"
These days, Old Doctor Zhao spends more time outside, not only him but also Ah Ning as well. After Ah Ning became Old Doctor Zhao disciple, she began formal medical studies. After chatting with Ah Ning, Old Doctor Zhao discovered that this young girl had extraordinary talent in medicine. He was overjoyed and wished to pass on all his medical skills to her. The feeling was mutual, and they harmoniously immersed themselves in the vast ocean of medical knowledge.
Old Doctor Zhao was someone who liked teaching through real-life experiences. He started by taking Ah Ning up the mountain to collect herbs and then treating the villagers in nearby villages, all while teaching Ah Ning.
In such a situation, Ah Ning's medical skills improved by leaps and bounds.
Just a few days ago, Old Doctor Zhao took her to the neighboring county, and it will probably take another two days for them to return.
As a result, only Zhao Xi and his wife remained in the Zhao family, along with the servants they had bought before getting married.
There was only an old cleaning lady among the servants, and a young girl who wasn't a suitable candidate for taking care of a pregnant woman.
Therefore, staying at the Lu family was the best arrangement for Shu You.
Shu Yu disdainfully glanced at Zhao Xi, and then Ying Xi suddenly came in, holding an invitation card in his hand.
"Miss, a certain official Xu came just now and handed over an invitation card."
"Invitation card?" Shu Yu unfolded the card and glanced at it, raising her eyebrows, "They finally came."
"What do you mean by 'finally came'?" Zhao Xi asked.
Shu Yu handed him the card, and after he finished reading it, he furrowed his brows, "Didn't they say they would come many days ago? Why are they only now coming to discuss business?"
"I actually hoped they would come later."
"Later? Aren't these many days of delay enough? Even Ah Yun has gone to participate in the county examination, and if they wait any longer, he will have finished the provincial examination... Do they look like they're doing business?" Zhao Xi's words halted midway as he glanced at Shu Yu, "They just came to see you right after Ah Yun left. Do you get the feeling they deliberately wanted to avoid him?"
Shu Yu put away the invitation card, not concerned about it, "After all, they came from the capital. The name Meng Yunzheng is renowned in the capital. Everyone knows about his achievements and intelligence. When the other party found out he is my fiancé, they must have some concerns. In business, they probably don't want to deal with someone too clever, as that would prevent them from maximizing their profits."
Zhao Xi suddenly realized and then wore a constipated expression, "Do they think that without Ah Yun, dealing with you will be easier? Do they believe they can gain more advantages from you? Impossible, so impossible, too impossible."
Shu Yu, "..."
She felt that Zhao Xi was implying something without any evidence.
"You take good care of my sister. Don't worry about anything else," she said to him and left without paying further attention.
Tomorrow, she will meet with that young master Ren. He will probably suggest visiting the workshop, so she needs to give Da Niu a heads up in advance.
She went to find a coachman and sent him to the estate to deliver the message.
As for the people who came from the capital, she didn't need to hurry. Soldiers will stop the water and soil will cover it. She will know everything after the discussion tomorrow.
Ying Xi followed behind Shu Yu, unable to help shaking her head. "Miss, what happened to staying calm?"
