Chapter 1222: Chapter 1222: Lu Family Trivia

In the afternoon, the Xiao Family concluded the banquet.

Today, her main purpose was to chat with Shu Yu and to meet the wealthy ladies of the county town.

But after seeing them, she felt it was quite tedious, and so the Peach Blossom Banquet ended early.

Shu Yu left with Ding Yuehua, and the latter didn’t ask her what the Xiao Family had discussed with her.

Anyway, when she saw Shu Yu walking out of the pavilion, she was smiling but obviously not in a high spirit. It was clear she had an unpleasant encounter with the Madam of County Magistrate.

It was still early, so Ding Yuehua went to a famous candy shop in the south of the city to buy two packs of preserved fruits, handing one to Shu Yu, “Here, have some preserved fruits to sweeten your mouth. This shop’s preserved fruits are quite good.”

Shu Yu took one bite, “Thank you.”

“No need to be polite with me.”

The two exchanged a smile, and while chatting, they completely forgot about the matters in the Peach Blossom Forest.

Returning home, Shu Yu became busy again.

The Xiao Family, however, was worried, fearing Shu Yu might go and report to Xiang Weinan, so they specifically had someone watch the Lu family’s gate for a few days.

Unexpectedly, the watchman reported that she leaves the city almost daily, neither reporting to the authorities nor meeting Xiang Weinan, focusing solely on the workshop outside the city, sometimes even staying overnight outside, with no chance to visit the county office.

The Xiao Family began to doubt their suspicions were wrong, and wondered if Monarch Lu Xiang really had a love interest?

They no longer had someone watching the Lu family, simply waiting for half a month later.

In the past few days, Shu Yu was in a good mood. The workshop construction was progressing rapidly. The basic structure was already in place, and now some people were building dormitories while others were repairing the interior environment.

Because of this, Lu Erbai had stayed on the manor for several days without returning home.

On the other hand, Zhou Qiao had been brought to the Lu family for accommodations.

Her belly was slowly growing, and the manor was a bit chaotic with people coming and going.

Especially since there weren’t enough houses for the tenants, some were living on the manor. These people worked hard daily, returning covered in sweat, and speaking loudly, which made it inconvenient for Zhou Qiao, a new shy daughter-in-law and pregnant woman.

Additionally, the women who originally helped Zhou Qiao clean the manor and worked inside had all been transferred to cook for the workers, leaving Zhou Qiao unattended.

So Shu Yu invited her to stay at home for safety, allowing them both to be comfortable, and letting Daniu work at ease.

Madam Li wanted Zhou Qiao to return to Shangshi Village, as she could take care of her as her mother-in-law, which was only natural.

However, since Shu Yu had made her decision, Madam Li dared not voice any objections.

She thought about talking to Daniu, but after he blamed her for buying medicine randomly last time, she was still angry with him. Daniu wasn’t visiting her either, so she gave up.

Thus, Zhou Qiao stayed peacefully with the Lu family.

The workshop was effectively on track, and Shu Yu began to search for a shop.

Once the sunflowers matured, both the seeds and oil needed to be sold in a shop.

However, there was no rush to find a shop, and she took her time searching.

Zhao Xi’s house was already purchased; he bought a two-entry compound.

He originally wanted to buy a three-entry compound, but after viewing it, he found that the location was poor and the place was dilapidated, requiring a lot of time and money to repair, perhaps even delaying the new house’s refurbishment before the wedding.

Later, Zhao Xi discussed with Shuyou, and Shuyou herself took a liking to the two-entry compound.
