Chapter 1000: Sending Xiao Ya'er Home
Ding Yuehua was puzzled. "Has she found her place? Are you just fooling me? Who is it?"
"You don't know him. You'll see when the engagement is announced."
Shu Yu thought that given the current development and the succession of matchmakers coming to their door, the engagement wouldn't be far off.
Ding Yuehua didn't ask further. After all, she wasn't very familiar with Shu Yu's sister.
It was a pity that her cousin wo...

Chapter 999: My Sister Has Found Her Place
Shu Yu was shocked, her face filled with disbelief. "What? When did my sister and Zhao Xi develop such a close relationship? I've only been out of the loop for a few days."
She narrowed her eyes slightly. "Sis, when did you decide to go to the capital city, and when did you tell Zhao Xi?"
She found out later than Zhao Xi, and she wasn't happy about it.
Shu You hurriedly explained, "Ah Yu, don't misunderstand. This, thi...

Chapter 998: Who Will Accompany You to the Capital City?
Shu Yu suddenly realized that she had forgotten something during these days.
That's right, after ending her contract with Qiu, she had intended to go to the capital city to find a source of goods.
But then she had to repair the house and buy the estate for farming, and with her mother and sister busy with the shop, she had stopped paying attention to it.
She didn't expect that the good batch of fabrics wo...

Chapter 997: Ruan Family Mother and Daughter Going to the Capital City
After Hua Xian finished speaking, Shu Yu asked her to leave.
Once they were alone in the backyard, Shu Yu turned to Ding Yuehua and asked, "What do you think?"
"I believe Hua Xian." Honestly, Ding Yuehua hadn't spent as much time with the old lady as she had with Hua Xian. She didn't know Hua Xian's character very well.
Moreover, with the strong evidence of the scars on Hua Xian's body, it w...

Chapter 996: Hua Xian's Experience
Hua Xian tightly clenched her fingers, feeling a sense of unease.
In reality, she should have let go of her past and not mention anything negative about her previous employer. Speaking ill of the previous household could easily make the current mistress dislike her, thinking that she was someone who gossiped and caused discord.
That's why when the old lady discovered the scars on her body, Hua Xian immediately denied it. Although the ...

Chapter 995: A Private Conversation
When Shu Yu bought Hua Xian, there was one question she didn't quite understand.
At that time, First Young Master Fan was interested in Hua Xian, but she didn't want to become a concubine. According to reason, her first choice should have been to return to the old lady and let the old lady make the decision.
But she didn't. She sought advice from the steward who usually looked after her.
She didn't try to avoid marriage or re...

After the separation, under Ding Yuehua's urging, Mei Shi gave them eleven thousand one hundred taels.
As for the remaining half, Mei Shi refused to give it up. She argued that it wasn't solely her responsibility; the Third Family didn't manage the kilns well, and Third Young Master Fans subordinates were also reckless. They should share half of the responsibility.
Third Young Master Fan couldn't be bothered to argue with her. The ...

At first, Madam Fan tried to persuade them, but it was futile. So she resorted to crying, causing a scene, and threatening to hang herself. It had some effect, but ultimately, the result didn't change because Mei Shi, having spent a long time with her mother-in-law, knew some of her secrets.

She smiled faintly. "Let's calculate it this way. Lord Yao's one blueprint is worth a fortune, so two blueprints would be worth twice that. As for the issue of renovating my house, taking into account the costs of labor, materials, and the emotional and social losses I suffered from explaining to Lord Yao, it should amount to two thousand...

Mei Shi replied, "Who drew them? Who cares? They were just too ugly."

The third young master couldn't stay at the kiln all the time. He had other matters to attend to, so he handed the blueprints to the foreman and asked him to make it as soon as possible.
