Chapter 2304: They Haven't Moved Away, Have They?

As they walked through the village, they encountered many villagers. Observing Auntie Fang's enthusiasm, someone couldn't help but ask, "Auntie Fang, is she your relative?"

Auntie Fang proudly straightened her chest. "I wish I had such a relative. This is the County Princess, the County Princess of Wen'an."

The villagers exchanged glances, some curious and some indifferent. Most of them had held high positions before being exiled here. However, some couldn't help but envy the County Princess, who enjoyed good food, fine clothes, and servants at her beck and call, free to go anywhere she pleased.

Auntie Fang soon led Shu Yu to her home. Even before entering, she called out loudly, "Ah Yue, come out quickly and see who's here!"

After Fang Xiyue and Malu got married, they mostly stayed at home. Initially, Malu lived with a few friends, and it wasn't convenient for Fang Xiyue to join him. So, the newlyweds lived with the Fang family.

However, half a year later, Fang Xiyue became pregnant. Malu, a young man eager to make a name for himself in front of the Prefect Magistrate, often worked late into the night or had to leave urgently for various matters. Malu, being a stranger to this place, couldn't help but worry about Fang Xiyue and their child. As a result, Fang Xiyue returned to Zhengdao Village to take care of herself during pregnancy, and after giving birth, she stayed there for her postpartum period.

Their child was still young and continued to stay by Fang Xiyue's side, living with her parents. As for Malu, he could only occasionally find time to come home to visit his wife and child.

At this moment, Fang Xiyue was changing the baby's diaper inside the house. When she heard her mother's voice, she was momentarily stunned, thinking that Malu had returned. However, when she came out and saw who it was, she couldn't believe her eyes.

"Ah, Ah Yu?!"

Shu Yu smiled and said, "Long time no see."

"You, you...," she stammered in shock.

Auntie Fang intervened, saying, "Alright, let's not stand here and chat. Let's go inside. Ah Yue, bring the baby out for Ah Yu to see. I'll go to the kitchen and prepare some tea for you."

The Fang household quickly became lively. Fang Xiyue was ecstatic but couldn't help glancing back at Meng Yunzheng from time to time. She had a nagging feeling that he looked familiar.

It wasn't until Meng Yunzheng and Zhao Xi stood together that she suddenly widened her eyes. "Isn't he the young master who helped us when we went up the mountain to deal with the tiger?"

Auntie Fang hadn't seen Meng Yunzheng before, but Fang Xiyue had.

Thinking back, if it weren't for Meng Yunzheng, their encounter with the tiger wouldn't have gone so smoothly. This young master was incredibly skilled, and after Fang Xiyue and Malu got married, he often reminisced about the tiger incident, saying he wanted to meet the young master again. Little did she know that he had become Shu Yu's husband.

Shu Yu, while placing a silver anklet in the baby's swaddle, affirmed, "Yes, it's him."

Fang Xiyue turned her head to see what Shu Yu was doing. She quickly stopped her and said, "Ah Yu, what are you doing? You've already sent us many things before. There's no need to give such a valuable silver anklet to the baby."

"This is for my godchild. Don't be polite with me," Shu Yu blocked her, changing the subject. "By the way, later I'll have to visit the Xus and Zhangs. They haven't moved away, have they?"

The Xus and Zhangs lived near the Shus.
