Ding Yuehua hesitated for a moment and shook her head, "I'm not sure. You can ask her later. However, Ah Yu is usually very busy and doesn't like these kinds of gatherings, so it's hard to say."
"I see," Kong Zhiguo frowned. "Yuehua, could you please ask Lu Xiangjun for me?"
"Why don't you ask her yourself?"
"I don't have as close a relationship with Lu Xiangjun as you do. If I invite her directly, she might not be pleased."
Ding Yuehua paused for a moment, and if she still didn't understand Kong Zhiguo's intentions at this point, then she would truly be too dull and wouldn't be suitable for managing a business outside.
However, given Shu Yu's current status, it was only natural that people, including Kong Zhiguo, would want to establish a good relationship with her.
Even the people currently surrounding Shu Yu were not all genuinely close to her.
Having such thoughts was entirely normal and not excessive.
Ding Yuehua looked at Kong Zhiguo and saw her nervousness. She pursed her lips and said, "I will convey your message, but if Ah Yu is busy, there's nothing I can do."
She said this, but couldn't help sighing inwardly and her eyes also became somewhat distant.
Perhaps because everyone had married, their relationships seemed less intimate than they were when they were still in the women's quarters. Even Kong Zhiguo had started to be more circumspect when talking to her and began to take advantage of her.
In the following time, Ding Yuehua seemed somewhat distracted.
Thankfully, Ding Yuehua's husband, third young master Fan, also arrived. The guests were already seated, and Kong Zhiguo had her own thoughts, so she didn't notice Ding Yuehua's odd behavior.
The banquet at the Lu family was very lavish. While Doctor Xu and the others were fine, the relatives and friends from Shishi Village were all eating with great satisfaction, reluctant to leave.
In the end, there wasn't much food left, and everyone eagerly packed the leftovers to take home.
Even Liang Shi, who always wanted to take advantage, thought about it too late and found that there wasn't a single piece of meat left on the table. She was so angry that she could almost explode.
After finishing their lunch, everyone was reluctant to leave, but they still had to get on the road, so they bid farewell to the Lu family one by one and left.
Ding Yuehua and third young master Fan also came to say goodbye. Shu Yu had wanted to talk to Ding Yuehua since her house was nearby, but she left early as well.
Ding Yuehua was in a hurry to go to Donggu County to purchase the two white horses for her. Naturally, she couldn't afford to delay.
Third young master Fan was very busy too. Since he split from his family, he had been dedicated to developing his own business. He rushed here just before the banquet was about to start.
Seeing this, Shu Yu didn't stop them and instead went with Doctor Xu, Jiang Yi, Deng Shi, and others to take their leave. The Lu family suddenly became quiet.
The table had already been cleared up with everyone's help, and now the Lu family members were curiously looking at the jade ruyi bestowed by the emperor.
After glancing at it, Shu Yu went to find Meng Yunzheng.
He was standing by the pond in the backyard, chatting with Ying Dong. When he saw her coming over, Ying Dong nodded and left.
It was hot outside, so the two of them sat down in the pavilion.
Meng Yunzheng was holding a folding fan, and as soon as he sat down, he fanned her.
"Have you opened the congratulatory gifts sent by the Qi family?" Lu Shuyu asked.
She shook her head. She didn't have the mood for that right now. "When are you leaving?" she asked instead.
Meng Yunzheng's fan movements slowed for a moment, then he nonchalantly continued fanning. "In one hour."
