Chapter 1090: The Disgust of the Yao Family
The Yao siblings were still in shock when Uncle Feng entered the mansion.
Madam Yao was talking to her daughter-in-law, Kang shi, when she furrowed her brows upon hearing Uncle Feng's report.
Initially, they didn't pay much attention to who came to visit Yao Residence. After all, since Yao Tianqin became an Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Works, people came to visit him one after another. To avoid trouble, they often ma...

Chapter 1089: Meeting Madame Chang Again
Shu Yu was taken aback. The voice sounded familiar.
She turned her head slightly and saw a carriage stopping not far away. A person poked her head out of the carriage and looked at Shu Yu in surprise.
"Miss Lu, it's really you. When did you come to the capital?" the person asked.
Shu Yu was also surprised to see that it was Madame Chang, the wife of master Jing, the Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Justice, and the ...

Chapter 1088: Visiting the Yao Residence
Shu Yu thought for a moment and said, "Let's go to the Yao Residence."
Having never been to the capital before, Shu Yu could count on one hand the people she knew here, with only Qi Chan and Yao Tianqin on the list. Both of them had been considerate and even sent gifts on her coming-of-age day.
So, it was only proper for her to pay a visit to the Yao Residence with some local specialties in hand.
In fact, she preferred g...

Chapter 1087: Someone Passed Away in the Gong Family
However, when Shu Yu casually looked up and glanced at the entrance of the Gong family, her expression suddenly changed.
Ying Xi also looked surprised and whispered, "Miss, why is the Gong family draped in white cloth?"
Shu Yu only took a quick glance and quickly looked away, then continued walking forward.
The white cloth draped on the Gong family's gate indicated that someone from the household had passed a...

Chapter 1086: Arrival in the Capital
Having settled into the third floor, the room was indeed much quieter. The location was excellent, offering a view of the scenery outside through the open windows. The gentle breeze carried the fragrance of flowers, making it incredibly comfortable.
With such a spacious, bright, and refreshing room, Shu Yu no longer needed to go to the deck to enjoy the breeze. She spent most of her time inside, reading books, taking occasional naps, and po...

Chapter 1085: The Fool
Shu Yu was annoyed by that young master Yao. He came a few more times, and the last time he even said something about her playing hard to get and casting a wide net, which almost made Shu Yu lose her temper and want to kick him into the river.
Did he really think she was sitting on the deck reading to seduce him?
Shu Yu really didn't want to encounter such situations anymore, so she tried staying in the cabin later to avoid unnecessary trouble. <...

Shu Yu frowned as she looked at the man in front of her. Even though staying on the deck provided better air, it also attracted the attention of others.
Just like the man in front of her.
The man introduced himself, "I am surnamed Yao. May I know the girl's name? I was on the second floor enjoying the view when I happened to see the girl reading here. I assume the girl is also knowledgeable and talented. Which famous wor...

Shu Yu shook her head, "I won't."
She didn't get motion sickness, not even on boats. In the past, she could even work on her computer while traveling in a high-speed vehicle, with high efficiency. This was a habit developed over many years, so sitting on a boat or a carriage was no different to her as long as it was stable.
It just got a little boring after a while. At first, she could enjoy the scenery along the way, but over time, s...

Shu Yu gazed into the distance, thinking about the words the waiter had told her.
The house had remained unrepaired and unsold for so long, and it might not necessarily be because the Meng family was not there.
Perhaps there were people watching not only in Tianning County but also around Meng Yunzheng's uncle's place.
"Miss, do you think Yan Bo will be in danger?"
Shu Yu shook her head. "Not at the moment."

"Gatekeeper?" Ying Xi was confused.
Shu Yu pondered for a moment. "You mean Yan Bo?"
"Probably." Shu Yu hadn't paid much attention to the beggar's appearance, but he looked disheveled and dirty, making it hard to discern his features. "...

The waiter who had accompanied her outside also sighed, "Indeed, it's a rare occasion to encounter someone as kind-hearted as the young lady today. With so much reward...

As she bent down, she suddenly felt a piercing gaze on her.
Years of caution made her trust her instincts. Her hairs stood on end, and her whole body tensed up.

It seemed that this was the Prefect of Shangyang Prefecture.

But Dabai was taken care of by her and Ying Xi personally. They were both meticulous in their care for Dabai. Moreover, since it concerned their safety, th...
