So people in the Ruan Family Village, having heard all this, were slowly starting to catch on.
This wasn’t simply talking to Old Lady Ruan, it was clearly to provoke her. Did the county magistrate already know that every ti Old Lady Ruan heard good news from the Lu family, she would curse angrily?
The doctor said Old Lady Ruan got sick and died from anger, and now, even after her death, she has to hear about the Lu family’s good days?
Especially since Old Lady Ruan’s eldest daughter, whom she despises the most, is now living a wealthy lady’s life, served by maids, with the best food and accommodation. She can do whatever she wants, and her children have promising futures and can even go to the capital?
Not only that, after returning from the capital, they have to go to Old Lady Ruan’s grave to provoke her once more?
The villagers of Ruan Family Village were worried that Old Lady Ruan might rise from the ground in anger.
Shu Yu didn’t care what others thought; she had much more to say. "Oh, speaking of going to the capital, there’s actually an opportunity soon. At the beginning of next year, we can set off. Grandmother, do you know why? It’s because my fiancé did exceptionally well in the provincial examination, becoming the top scorer, and co next year, we can accompany him to the capital for further exams."
The villagers of Ruan Family Village were stunned. Top scorer...?
County Lord Lu’s fiancé, that Young Master ng, not only achieved the small trinity of top academic scores, but now he’s also first in the provincial exam!!
If, if things continue to go smoothly, and he ranks first in the tropolitan exam too, wouldn’t that be a historic achievent—his na would go down in history?
The crowd couldn’t help but gasp; the Lu family days were indeed getting better and better.
Their eyes turned to Shu Yu, filled with both envy and jealousy.
Shu Yu took out a letter from her sleeve. "It’s quite a coincidence, I just learned this news. I’ve already asked Ying Xi to prepare the carriage, and the bailiff from the courier station happened to co by and inford of Yun’s top scorer news. It seems even heaven knew I was coming to see Grandmother, so they sent the news to share with her, so she’d rest in peace."
"Grandmother, aren’t you happy to hear that your future granddaughter-in-law is so accomplished? You don’t need to worry about how he’ll treat in the future. Yun said that after he succeeds next year, he will ask the Emperor to grant us marriage. From then on, he’ll only have as his wife and won’t look at other won. Are you pleased with this future granddaughter-in-law?"
Shu Yu’s ability to lie with her eyes wide open had reached a masterful level, but the Ruan brothers nearby listened with twisted, contorted expressions.
Ying Xi glanced at them and handed over the water pouch. "Miss, have so water, speak slowly."
Shu Yu took it and drank two sips.
Everyone’s gaze imdiately focused on the water pouch, their expressions odd.
Ying Xi explained, "Our old lady is worried that Miss might be overly sad, and talking too much would hurt her throat, so she specifically had the eldest brother-in-law prepare so dicinal tea."
Yes, that’s the reason, definitely not because they were afraid the Ruan family put spit in the tea.
After Ying Xi finished speaking, she held the pouch forward, and there was indeed a faint dicinal aroma, sowhat refreshing to sll.
Shu Yu wiped the corner of her mouth and continued, "Yes, this is tea prepared by our old lady; she treats dearest. My Grandmother is getting older now, but Grandmother, you left so suddenly. In the future, I will pay extra attention to my Grandmother’s health and ensure she lives to a ripe old age."
