Chapter 1454: The Reason for High Charges
As they spoke, the two of them had already entered the main hall.
Not seeing anyone around, Shu Yu knew that her family members were all in the backyard.
She had someone serve tea to Doctor Xu and then sat opposite him, saying, "Doctor Xu, feel free to speak your mind."
Taking a sip of tea, Doctor Xu seemed to be organizing his thoughts. After a while, he finally spoke, "I want to cooperate with Doct...
Chapter 1453: Doctor Xu Comes to Visit
"Doctor Xu?" Shu Yu took a few steps forward, looking at the person who got off the carriage and was talking to the gatekeeper.
Upon hearing her voice, Doctor Xu turned around and smiled, saying, "Miss Lu."
"Is Doctor Xu here to see me? What's the matter?" Shu Yu was surprised. Although she and Doctor Xu collaborated to sell scar removal ointment, they didn't have many opportunities to meet since she was often busy and frequently awa...
Chapter 1452: Exhausted All Benevolence and Loyalty
Ding Yuehua said, "The last time I saw her was at Madam Xiang's banquet in the peach forest. She tried to get close to Madam Xiang, but little did she know that Madam Xiang returned to the capital shortly after. This year, even Master Xiang got promoted and left Jiangyuan County. Kong Zhiyou gained nothing and her efforts went in vain."
Initially, Ding Yuehua felt a bit of schadenfreude, but that was all.
Later on, they ...
Chapter 1451: Do You Remember Kong Zhiyou?
Ding Yuehua sneered, "You know that she has never liked me, especially after we separated from the main family. Not only did we no longer stay under her control, but now the one in charge at home is my sister-in-law, and my second sister-in-law has moved out with her daughter. She must be feeling uncomfortable at home."
Unfortunately, she was the root cause of all these changes, so naturally, her mother-in-law considered her an eyesore....
Chapter 1450: Ding Yuehua's Current Situation
Xiao Yun was in the courtyard and her eyes lit up when she saw Shu Yu. "Miss Lu is here?"
"I came to see Yuehua."
"Miss is inside. Please come in."
As Shu Yu entered, she found Ding Yuehua lying on the bed, and Madam Ding was watching her as she tried to eat porridge. However, Ding Yuehua seemed uncomfortable due to her pregnancy and couldn't eat much, constantly refusing.
Madam Ding felt helpless, "You must eat ...
Chapter 1449: Meng Han's Complete Integration
After Shu Yu returned home, the celebration for Meng Yunzheng's success in the exams made the Lu family particularly lively that night.
Everyone happily gathered together for a reunion dinner and dispersed late into the night, returning to their respective homes.
Meng Han accompanied Meng Yunzheng back to the Meng family. Although she wanted to stay at the Lu family's residence, which was spacious and comfortable with her sist...
Chapter 1448: Zhao Xi's Celebration
The group looked puzzled, but in the next moment, Zhao Xi took out a string of firecrackers from behind and laid them in a row at the entrance. He then lit them up with a firecracker stick.
The firecrackers crackled, and Zhao Xi's voice sounded triumphant, "Congratulations to Meng Yunzheng for achieving the Top Rank, obtaining the title of Xiu Cai. A joyous occasion indeed, congratulations, congratulations!"
Meng Yunzheng's composed exp...
Chapter 1447: Not Allowed to Enter for Now
Shu Yu stood up feeling somewhat guilty and said, "I'm sorry, I was too anxious. Young Master Tan, please don't think too much for now. It's crucial to focus on recovering your health first. When you're feeling better, you can recall everything later."
"That's right," Madam Tan nodded repeatedly, "Your health is the priority now. You don't have to force yourself to think. Maybe you'll have a sudden realization while eating or drinking. ...
Chapter 1446: Shu Yu's Deliberate Guidance
Ah Ning blinked her eyes, feeling deeply moved by her elder sister's concern for her.
Shu Yu smiled at her and continued speaking to Tan Cheng, "What I mean is, the person who poisoned Young master Tan persisted for two years, and they were close to succeeding until our old master intervened. This person must hold a deep grudge, and after failing to harm Young Master Tan, they might shift their focus to our old master and my younger sis...
Chapter 1445: Meeting Tan Cheng
Shu Yu pondered, wondering why the culprit who poisoned Young master Tan was only found among the kitchen staff when he had already died. She couldn't help but question who would want to harm Young Master Tan and why.
As the poison he was afflicted with was similar to the one used in the Xiao family, she couldn't help but wonder if it was a coincidence or if it was somehow related to the Second Prince.
Deciding to get to the bottom of it, S...
Chapter 1444: Has the Culprit Been Found?
However, others didn't share the same sentiments. Ding Yuehua's mother-in-law was especially difficult to get along with and would speak ill of her behind her back, especially regarding her inability to conceive. If they lived together, it would surely lead to conflicts.
Apart from her mother-in-law, there was also a grandmother who wanted to join in the commotion. After Ding Yuehua and Third Young Master Fan separated from the famil...
Chapter 1443: Ding Yuehua is Pregnant
Shu Yu was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and asked, "Ah Ning, why are you here?"
Ah Ning recounted the incident with the thugs from the gambling house and how Xia Yan and Meng Han came to their rescue.
Upon hearing this, Shu Yu couldn't help but furrow her eyebrows. "Are you hurt?"
"No, Second Sister. I can protect myself now."
When Ah Ning was at Renxin Medical Hall, she had told Shu Yu that she not only wanted ...
Chapter 1442: Are We Instant Friends Now?
Upon hearing Xia Yan's reassurance, they all felt relieved, and the group arrived at Renxin Medical Hall.
Ah Ning got down from Xia Yan's arms and told Xie, "Sister Xie, be careful on your way home and find someone to accompany you. I need to go meet my sister."
Doctor Xie smiled and replied, "Sure, let's meet another day then."
Ah Ning added, "Please tell Xiao Que, the maid from the Tan family, about my whereabouts."
Chapter 1441: They Came for Me
Doctor Xie, was particularly curious about Ah Ning's master. She had met Doctor Zhao, the wandering doctor, a few times, but he only introduced himself as a wandering doctor without going into details.
Despite his lack of explanation, Doctor Xie knew he was an extraordinary medical expert, capable of treating Young Master Tan's illness. The news about Young Master Tan's recovery had spread, but Doctor Xie was unaware that he had been poisoned, as t...
Chapter 1440: It Was Ah Ning Who Was Ambushed
With Meng Han standing in front of the two girls, Xia Yan felt relieved and swiftly dealt with the aggressors, knocking them down to the ground.
Realizing that they couldn't do anything, the aggressors angrily warned, "You wait and see."
Ignoring their threats, they quickly got up and hurriedly fled from the alley.
After they had left, Meng Han let out a sigh of relief and then looked at Xia Yan, teasingly saying, "Didn...
Chapter 1439: Isn't It You Who Said You Won't Intervene?
Shu Yu bid farewell to Sister Qiu and left the mountain with Ying Xi.
During her trip, Meng Yunzheng had some business to attend to, and she had no idea what Meng Han was doing back at the inn. Most likely, she was bored.
And indeed, the bored Meng Han couldn't stay in the inn any longer. She had initially thought that her cousin, Meng Yunzheng, had asked Xia Yan to keep an eye on her, so she tried mentioning going ...
Chapter 1438: Master Miao's Matters Resolved
After having a drink, Shu Yu asked about Xiao Shi's health.
Xiao Shi smiled and said, "Doctor Zhao has come three times. He just examined my pulse a couple of days ago and said that my recovery is going well. After taking a few more doses of medicine, the remaining toxins should be cleared. Look at me, I've gained some weight."
Indeed, she had gained some weight, but compared to before, she was still on the thin side.
Ho...
Chapter 1437: The Tranquil Xiao Family
Shu Yu saw him anxious and didn't keep him waiting. She told him about the decision of the Dongqing Temple's leader.
Upon hearing this, Master Miao took a deep breath, looking a bit dazed as he sat back on the stone stool. A faint smile appeared on his lips, as if a heavy burden had been lifted.
After a moment, he stood up again, clasped his hands together, and said to Shu Yu, "I understand. Thanks to Lu Xiangjun's intervention, the ...
Chapter 1436: Master Miao
Master Miao only smiled and didn't go into further details.
Indeed, Liu Ru was someone he had personally groomed and promoted. He had initially thought her ambition and ruthlessness were good qualities. However, her ambition had grown too large, and Fragrant Mist Courtyard couldn't accommodate her anymore.
Establishing Qin Lou and Chu Guan involved dealing with people who were not clean, and not all the girls there willingly sold themselves.<...
Chapter 1435: Fragrant Mist Courtyard Has Closed
Shu Yu was driving the carriage, and after a brief rest at the inn, they set off again.
The carriage made its way through the streets and alleys, heading towards the southern city gate. Shu Yu pulled back the curtain and looked at the streets along the way. She was pleased to see two shops with signs that read "New Instant Noodles."
It seemed that during her absence, instant noodles had gradually gained popularity in th...
Chapter 1434: Going to Handle Some Matters
Shu Yu suddenly realized, as she had suspected, Meng Han must have experienced incidents of Tao Qin stealing things from her in her childhood, which is why she had erupted only now.
"It's true, every family has its own difficulties," Shu Yu sighed. "If only we could encounter understanding family members, but otherwise, it's a headache every day."
"Sister Shu Yu," Meng Han rode her horse to the side of the carriage, her face ...
Chapter 1433: Meng Han, Who Hasn't Seen the World
Meng Han still didn't know that her runaway trip had not only changed herself but also affected her elder brother's attitude towards Tao Shi and the Tao family.
At this moment, she sat excitedly in the carriage, looking at the scenery outside.
Unlike her elder brother, Meng Han had learned some martial arts, but due to her young age and being a girl, Meng Xiaoshu never took her on his escort missions. On the other hand...
Chapter 1432: Meng Qi
Meng Qi heard the words and his facial muscles tightened, lips pressed tightly.
Yes, Meng Han ran away from home, and she did leave a letter behind.
She left early yesterday morning, and the letter was discovered by the Tao Shi at noon.
If they had sent someone to chase her immediately, they could have caught up with her in the capital before the city gates closed last night.
However, upon seeing the letter, Tao Shi not only didn't chas...
Chapter 1431: A Short Letter with Only One Sentence
Because the couple treated her well, Aunt He also reciprocated by doing her best in everything.
Now that Meng Yunzheng and the others are leaving, Aunt He feels particularly reluctant.
So, this morning, when she came over, she also prepared some local specialties for them to take along.
After Shu Yu handed the red envelope to Aunt He, Meng Yunzheng called her, "Ah Yu, let's go."
It wasn't early anymore, and...
Chapter 1430: Leaving the Rented Place
Meng Yunzheng didn't know if there was a black market in Changjin Prefecture, and he was indeed unfamiliar with this place.
Although he had been living here for a few months, he spent most of his time preparing for the exam. Occasionally, he went out for a walk but didn't explore the streets and alleys like Shu Yu, nor did he visit the dentists.
He mostly exchanged knowledge with his fellow exam takers or occasionally visited the loc...
Chapter 1429: Suspicions in the Heart
Meng Yunzheng rubbed his forehead. "She said she wants to go with us to Dong'an Prefecture."
Pausing for a moment, he glanced in the direction of the room and lowered his voice. "Leaving is not a bad idea; the situation between the Tao and Meng families has become chaotic lately. She's not having an easy time at home."
Shu Yu narrowed her eyes. "What did you do?"
"Nothing much, just yesterday, after returning to Chenggu Cou...
Chapter 1428: Running Away from Home
Shu Yu came back to her senses and smiled, shaking her head. "No, Aunt He's cooking is delicious."
She then thought that Aunt He was a local, so she couldn't help but ask, "Auntie, I noticed many people selling themselves at the slaves market. Has something happened in Changjin Prefecture?"
Aunt He was taken aback and shook her head. "Not that I know of. Besides the county exam, there hasn't been any significant event recently. Mis...
Chapter 1427: Strange Phenomenon
After Meng Yunzheng bought everything, he planned to return to Chenggu County the next day to pay respects to Song Xin's grave.
Shu Yu didn't go with him; it wasn't appropriate for her to go to Meng's family ancestral grave before their marriage. Moreover, after the unpleasant incident with the Tao family, she didn't want to have any more contact with them.
So they decided that Shu Yu would wait for him at home while he went.
Ho...
Chapter 1426: Taking Them Home
Meng Xiaoshu's words were quite severe, and Tao Shi and Tao Qin were both stunned, looking up at him in disbelief.
Meng Xiaoshu took a deep breath and said to Meng Han, "Go pack your things; we're going home now."
"Yes, yes, Father." Meng Han nodded repeatedly, swallowing nervously, and hurried to pack.
Meng Xiaoshu turned around, full of apologies, and said to Meng Yunzheng, "Ah Yun, I'm sorry. Originally, I thought that since you pa...
Chapter 1425: Furious Meng Xiaoshu
Tao Qin took a sharp breath; of course, she didn't dare.
In this day and age, most people approached oaths with a devout and cautious mindset. Besides, what Shu Yu said was too cruel, mentioning being struck by lightning, intestines ruptured, and all that; even thinking about it made Tao Qin shudder.
But everyone was looking at her, and Shu Yu still had a gentle smile on her face.
Suddenly, Tao Qin couldn't catch her breath, her e...
