Chapter 1038 She wouldn't dare to make things difficult for you

Gradually, Princess Zhang's feeling of being mistreated in the capital disappeared, and she finally experienced the advantages of being a county magistrate.

Over the course of five or six years, she had become so spoiled that she lost sight of her own place.

She considered herself a county princess of Dong'an Prefecture, while Shu Yu was merely a township lady of Jiangyuan County, far inferior to her. It was an honor that her younger brother had taken a liking to Shu Yu; how dare she refuse?

Therefore, he found Shu Yu extremely displeasing.

Shu Yu understood. No wonder the Shu family's daughters didn't befriend this county princess when the family was still at its peak; it seemed the Shu family looked down on her.

Apart from Lady Zhang, none of the other members of the Zhang family had ever served as officials in the imperial court. They had no background or power, and even Lady Zhang was just a figurehead.

The Shu family has always been opportunistic and avoids harm, so why would they waste their time on her?

Seeing her silence, Xiang Weinan said, "You don't need to worry about that County Princess Zhang. If she wants to make things difficult for you, just stand by and fight back. Besides, she probably won't dare to make things difficult for you in a couple of days."

Shu Yu was puzzled. "What do you mean by that?"

Xiang Weinan, however, seemed somewhat mysterious, saying, "You'll find out on your coming-of-age ceremony."

"You..." Shu Yu wanted to ask more, but Xiang Weinan waved his hand impatiently, "Alright, alright, you should go back now. I have things to do. I'll go and congratulate you when your family hosts a banquet in a couple of days."

Shu Yu was kicked out by Xiang Weinan, and she was so angry that she laughed.

The most annoying thing is when someone only says half of what they mean and hides the other half. Can't they have any basic manners and morals?

Standing at the entrance of the county government office, Shu Yu gritted his teeth fiercely.

Standing beside her, Ying Xi gripped the dagger in his hand and asked, "Miss, should we force our way in?"

He looked like he was ready to obey orders at any time.

Shu Yu, "..."

"Forget it, with his despicable character, he'll get himself sacked sooner or later."

After she finished speaking, she glanced at the county government office again, snorted coldly, and turned to leave.

Since Xiang Weinan has already said there's no need to worry about that Lady Zhang, then she can focus on her coming-of-age ceremony in peace.

With her family taking it so seriously, she inevitably became nervous and anxious.

The day after tomorrow, early in the morning, finally arrived at her birthday.

Shu Yu was still feeling sleepy when the old lady and Madam Ruan came to knock on the door.

"Ayu, get up quickly and let your mother and sister help you get dressed. The guests will be here soon."

Shu Yu yawned, looked at the sky, and thought, "It seems like it's only the hour of Mao (5-7 AM), the sky is just beginning to lighten."

The knocking on the door continued. "Ayu, are you up?"

"Get up, get up." Shu Yu quickly put on a coat and came to open the door.

Ms. Ruan was holding a box in her hand, and inside the box were her new clothes.

She placed the clothes on the table, then turned to the people outside and said, "Quickly take the water to the bathroom."

Several servants from the Lu family had already brought in hot water. The bathroom was on the other side of Shu Yu's room, and could be reached directly from the room.

The ceramic squatting pit that the Fan family had previously helped burn paper money for is also inside.

She renovated it according to modern bathroom standards, with bluestone slabs paving the floor, making it both clean and convenient.

Several maids poured hot water into the bathtub, and Madam Ruan urged her to bathe and change.

Shu Yu, who was originally quite calm, became nervous because of them.

After taking a shower, changing into colorful clothes and shoes, eating something, and combing my hair, the time really wasn't too far off.
