Chapter 1123 Yao Tianqin's Envy

Behind her, Mother Zhu lowered her head slightly, thinking: "Didn't we arrive a long time ago? We were on the same boat as Young Master Tang and the others."

Not only that, they came to the mansion the very next day, only to be chased away by the young master.

Zhu's mother glanced at Shu Yu secretly, wondering if Miss Lu would complain to the master.

Shu Yu had no intention of complaining; she probably didn't need to bring it up herself, as Madam Yao would naturally discuss it with Yao Tianqin.

So she just smiled and nodded, "I have indeed been here for some time, but the capital has been in a bit of chaos lately, so I have rarely gone out."

Yao Tianqin disagreed, saying, "It's chaotic outside, so you should come home even more. You're unfamiliar with the capital, so coming home will allow us to take care of you."

As soon as he finished speaking, he thought of his cousins ​​who were still living at home, and frowned again.

Forget it, if A-Yu were to live in the house, I'm afraid there wouldn't be any peace and quiet.

He didn't bring it up again, but instead asked, "So where have you been staying these days? An inn? You haven't run into any trouble while you were out there, have you?"

"No, I met Madam Jing of the Dali Temple as soon as I arrived in the capital. I had met Madam Jing once before, and she invited me to visit her residence. So I stayed at the Jing residence after that."

Yao Tianqin, “…”

He stopped in his tracks, stunned.

He met Madam Jing once? And then stayed at the Jing residence?

Lord Jing and his wife are not kind-hearted people who readily take in strangers. Visiting is fine, but staying overnight is rare, let alone staying for such a long time.

He couldn't help but look at Shu Yu, and sighed, "Shu Yu is indeed no ordinary person."

They can get along well anywhere and never have to worry about being looked after.

Shu Yu looked at Yao Tianqin's somewhat envious eyes and was speechless for a moment.

Well, she forgot that Uncle Yao, in a way, belongs to the socially anxious type.

She couldn't help but laugh, and the two of them had already reached the entrance of the main room as they talked.

However, by this time, quite a few people had already arrived in the main room.

Madam Yao and Madam Kang had heard that the girl from before had come again, so they deliberately waited here.

Who knew that after a short while, his cousin Yao An and his niece Yao Hong also arrived. Oh, and not only them, but also Yao Hong's cousin Wang Jiayi.

The Yao family didn't have many servants, but when Yao An and his group arrived, they brought seven or eight servants with them, making quite a show of themselves.

These servants were not only serving their masters, but also keeping an eye on what was happening in the mansion.

Sure enough, as soon as Shu Yu arrived, Yao An and the other two received the news and rushed over.

Although Yao An and his sister saw Shu Yu leaving with Madam Jing at the door, they still didn't think that this person had any background or powerful connections.

Otherwise, why would she have only a poorly behaved maidservant serving her when she's out and about?

They even said they couldn't book a room on the ship because of time constraints, which is hilarious.

If a girl were truly from a wealthy and influential family, arrangements would be made well in advance for any long journey. Even a girl from a humble family wouldn't travel in such a shabby manner.

Not to mention, even families who were slightly better off couldn't afford to sleep in the lower decks of the ship. Those places were damp, smelly, and full of mixed people; what girl of any standing could endure that?

So what if she knows Madam Jing? Who knows what stroke of luck she had to inexplicably get on Madam Jing's good side? But even if she did, what difference does it make? She still refuses to give up the Yao family, this big tree.
