The Ace Bigshot Becomes A Farmgirl

Chapter 1127: Chapter 1127: Yao An’s Thoughts

“Then you should understand what it means to share intimate words, right?” Shu Yu asked with a smile.

Yao Hong paused, feeling a bit embarrassed for a moment, but she stopped pursuing further, just watching them leave the living room and return to their courtyard.

After Nanny Zhu also departed, Yao Hong couldn’t help but stomp her foot furiously, “What nonsense…”

Wang Jiayi softly reminded, “Cousin, she is the Village Chief.”

“So what if she is the Village Chief? My uncle is the Minister of Public Works.” As if she hasn’t seen the world, could a little-known Village Chief really intimidate her?

Yao Hong turned and glared at Yao An, “Brother, it’s all your fault for making me follow them!”

Yao An’s eyes sparkled as he lowered his voice, “Little sister, what do you think about me marrying her and making her your sister-in-law?”

Yao Hong was stunned, her eyes wide open, instinctively turning to look at Wang Jiayi beside her, “But, but…”

However, Wang Jiayi had already lowered her head.

Yao Hong found it hard to speak up and break the awkwardness of the situation.

But she had no fondness for Shu Yu at all, and immediately disagreed, “I don’t think that’s good. Brother, she’s just a Village Chief, not someone impressive. We’ve seen county magistrates and Commandery Princesses before; what’s so special about her?”

Yao An turned his head, glancing at her, “What do you know? She’s a Village Chief now, but look at the people she knows. Let’s not mention our uncle, there’s also Lord Jing. Recently, the Minister of the Ministry of Central Judicial Office got demoted due to involvement in the Second Prince’s case, and Lord Jing got promoted from vice minister of the central judicial office to Minister of the Ministry of Central Judicial Office, showing how much the Emperor values him.”

“That’s not all. There’s also Mister Qi, a favorite of the Emperor, with significant influence in the court. Even he remembers to send a birthday gift to this little Village Chief; doesn’t that say something? If I marry her, do you think I’d still have to humble myself in front of Uncle to secure an official post?”

Yao Hong paused, indeed, although Lu Shuyu is a small Village Chief, the people she knows are all significant officials.

If Brother marries her, he might really secure an official position in the capital in the future, and her own marriage could be much easier to arrange.

Though, it would mean wronging Cousin Jiayi.

But it doesn’t matter, as long as Brother cherishes Cousin Jiayi in the future, she would still be the winner.

Yao Hong couldn’t help but glance at Wang Jiayi again, but the latter was still with her head down in a distracted manner.

The three fell into silence, each harboring their own thoughts.

Shu Yu didn’t know that she was being contemplated once more. She followed Ms. Kang back to her courtyard and saw Ms. Kang breathe a sigh of relief, sitting down with the help of her maid.

Shu Yu noticed the movement and paused slightly, somewhat uncertainly asking, “Sister-in-law, are you…?”

Seeing her gaze on her belly, Ms. Kang gave a warm smile and nodded, “Yes, I am, just over three months.”

“Really?” Shu Yu’s eyes lit up, “Congratulations, Sister-in-law.”

Ms. Kang blushed a little, pressing her lips together to speak softly, “Speaking of which, I must thank you.”

Shu Yu was puzzled, so Ms. Kang explained, “Thanks to you for bringing Doctor Zhao to see me. He prescribed me some remedies, which I have been taking. This has gradually helped my body recover. Otherwise, who knows when this child would have come.”

She reached out to touch her still relatively flat belly, her eyes filled with tenderness.
