Fully Leveled Bigshot Becomes A Farmgirl

Chapter 1055: Chapter 1055: The Thoughts of Both

“Very well, then I must trouble Lord Xiang.”

Xiang Weinan waved his hand, “It’s nothing, it’s nothing. Monarch Lu Xiang, go attend to your matters. I had initially hoped to join you for a drink, but duty calls, and I’ll have to come around next time.”

With that, he turned with Hu Li and left.

Shu Yu watched them walk away through the crowd before she turned around and led her entourage back home in grand style.

The onlookers were stupefied, and it wasn’t until everyone had gone inside that murmurs of discussion suddenly erupted.

Some even stepped forward wanting to speak with the Lu family members, hoping to join the Lu family’s banquet.

Ying Dong stood at the door, steadily and kindly turning down such requests, only allowing the Lu family’s guests to enter.

However, Ding Yuehua, standing at the doorway with her brows knitted, stared intently in a certain direction.

Kong Zhiyou initially wanted to squeeze her way to Shu Yu’s side, but there were simply too many people around her this time; the Lu family had encircled her tightly, pushing Zhiyou out.

If not for the maid Qiuju supporting her, she might have stumbled.

She grew increasingly annoyed with these oblivious, jostling rural farmers but took a deep breath and gradually made her way inside.

Seeing Ding Yuehua standing there, she couldn’t help but pause, reaching out to tug at her, “Yuehua, why aren’t you going in?”

Ding Yuehua finally withdrew her gaze, thinking to herself that today was Yu’s birthday, and no matter what, any issues would have to wait until the day was over. The words her mother-in-law had spoken were noted, she could always confront her in the evening.

Exhaling, Ding Yuehua smiled and said, “Come on, let’s go inside.”

She led the way in, with Kong Zhiyou quickly following, speaking in a low voice after catching up a few steps, “Yuehua, do you know how Monarch Lu Xiang met those two lords from the capital?”

Ding Yuehua shook her head, “I’m not quite sure about the specifics. Perhaps they met in the southwest. Why do you ask?”

“Nothing, I’m just really surprised.” Her husband would participate in the provincial examination in a couple of years, and if he had connections like that, there would be nothing more to worry about.

Ding Yuehua smiled, “I’m also surprised. I didn’t expect even the emperor to send gifts to Yu. How favored must she be?” As she spoke, she grew slightly excited, “When I saw County Magistrate Zhang arriving earlier, I was so anxious, but it seems I was overthinking.”

So, the two White Horses from the Wu Family can now be sold to Yu without issue?

The horses had been reserved by her first, but now that the White Horses are ‘cured’, selling them to her again, even County Magistrate Zhang wouldn’t dare say anything, right?

Thinking of this, Ding Yuehua’s mood couldn’t help but improve.

After lunch at the Lu family, she would immediately head to Donggu County and could bring the two horses back tomorrow. Though it would be a day late for the Coming-of-age Ceremony, better late than never.

Kong Zhiyou laughed, “I feel like I am at a loss this time.”

While talking, the two had already reached the front hall, which was packed with people, with the Lu family at the center.

Kong Zhiyou looked up, seeing that she could not possibly squeeze in.

She said to Ding Yuehua, “Monarch Lu Xiang’s birthday banquet is quite lively. Next month is my birthday, and I had initially thought of keeping it simple, just a meal with the family. But seeing this scene, I’m thinking a birthday should be celebrated lively too. I plan to hold a banquet, and Yuehua, you must come then.”

Ding Yuehua smiled, “Of course.”

“Do you think if I invite Monarch Lu Xiang, she would come?”
