Shu Yu's smiling face stiffened slightly as she quickly realized today's date. She frowned, "Did she really come to see who proposed to me?"
Ying Xi was puzzled, "Madam Xiang? Is she the county magistrate's wife?"
Shu Yu nodded and said to Hua Xian, "Since she's here, let's go and see. Come on."
She straightened her clothes and hair, then led the way out of the garden.
Before they reached the entrance gate, they saw Lu Sixing playing with Quan Quan and Xiao Songle, and the little Fortune Cat, Zhao Cai, was darting around them.
Quan Quan and Xiao Songle were very happy now, sticking together all day long, even sleeping together at night.
Although Xiao Songle still didn't speak, his personality had become much more cheerful. He wasn't scared of Ah Ning and the others anymore, and he didn't avoid them when they spoke to him.
Shu Yu and Lu Sixing greeted each other and then followed behind the two children.
However, at this moment, inside the main hall, Xiao Shi felt quite uneasy.
Everyone in the Lu family had been busy lately, and if Shu Yu hadn't been at home today, she probably would have gone out as well.
As a result, there was only the old lady left in the Lu family, and naturally became the one to receive her. However, they were two people from completely different backgrounds and couldn't find a common topic to discuss.
Both Xiao Shi and the old lady felt uncomfortable, and being in the same space with each other was worse than glaring at their village's lifelong enemies.
So all they could do was force a smile. Grandma Lu kept saying, "Madam, have some tea. It's a good tea brought back by Ah Yu from the capital. I, an old lady from the countryside, can't taste the difference, but surely a knowledgeable madam like yourself can."
Xiao Shi also forced a smile. Although she had come to hold Shu You accountable, she wouldn't vent her anger on an innocent old lady.
She smelled the tea but didn't drink it. She put the teacup back down and nodded, saying, "Indeed, it's good tea."
Her family also had this tea.
It wasn't something that could be bought in the market; it was probably a gift from the Qi family or the Yao family.
Minister Qi really treated this Lu Shu Yu very well, and Xiao Shi couldn't help but feel a little envious.
After saying that, the main hall fell into a dead silence once again.
Both women kept glancing outside—why hadn't Ah Yu arrived yet?
As they were looking, Xiao Shi suddenly caught sight of a figure darting past, and when she looked again, it turned out to be a chubby cat.
Xiao Shi couldn't help but widen her eyes, staring at the cat with surprise as it ran inside.
