Chapter 1126 Have you ever read a book?

Mother Zhu suddenly realized that she had heard Madam Yao mention before that the congratulatory gift was for a girl who had been kind to the Yao family.

She immediately developed a much stronger liking for Shu Yu.

However, unlike Mother Zhu, Yao An, with her sharp ears, heard the words "Lord Qi".

He immediately perked up. As far as he knew, the only family in the capital with more influence and connections than the Yao family was the Junior Tutor's family.

Unexpectedly, this young lady is not only the village lord, but also knows his cousin, Lord Jing, and even Lord Qi would send her a coming-of-age gift?

I just don't know if this Lord Qi is Qi Chan, or another official from the Qi family.

But the one who could be addressed as "Lord Qi" by my aunt must be that person, right?

Yao An felt a surge of emotion for no apparent reason, and his eyes shone slightly as he looked at Shu Yu.

Shu Yu noticed the light and looked up at Yao An. "Is there something you need, Young Master Yao?"

Yao An snapped back to reality and hurriedly shook his head, saying, "No, no."

His smile was somewhat obsequious. "I'm just curious. I just heard my aunt say that a Lord Qi gave a gift to Lord Lu, the Prince of Lu. I wonder if this Lord Qi is the same Lord Shaofu?"

"Yes, so what?" Kang said irritably.

Yao An's smile brightened even more. "It's nothing, I was just asking out of curiosity. I didn't expect that Lord Lu Xiang and the Junior Tutor had such a good relationship."

He chuckled dryly to the side.

These words made Madam Yao and her daughter-in-law feel extremely awkward. Madam Yao frowned slightly and said to him, "Yao An, didn't you say that you had fallen behind in your studies recently and that you needed to study hard? Then go back to your room and study. Don't delay."

Yao An laughed and said, "The teacher said that reading should be combined with rest. I just practiced calligraphy for an hour and was planning to take a break. It's fine to chat with my aunt."

It's fine for you, but it's a problem for me.

Unfortunately, Madam Yao was reluctant to directly kick them out because of her status as an elder.

Shu Yu took a sip of tea and couldn't help but chuckle as she saw that Madam Yao and Madam Kang looked both angry and somewhat frustrated.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law haven't gotten used to their new roles yet, and on top of that, they've encountered shameless people, so they're bound to feel constrained in their words and actions.

To be honest, she didn't want a few unrelated people standing around while she chatted with Madam Yao and Madam Kang. They had to speak in a secretive and discreet manner, which was very annoying.

Shu Yu reached out and squeezed Kang Shi's hand beside her, and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law, the reason I came here this time is actually because I have some private matters I want to ask you. Can we find a place to talk privately?"

Madam Yao immediately realized, "Yes, yes, you two have always been close. It's rare for you to meet, so you must have a lot to talk about. I won't interfere. Ayu, stay for lunch. I'll go to the kitchen and tell them not to neglect you."

"Thank you, Auntie. Then I'll take my leave."

"No need to be so polite," Madam Yao waved her hand and walked towards the kitchen.

As soon as she left, Madam Kang stood up and said to Yao An and the others, "Third brother, you all go ahead with your work. I'll take A-Yu back to her room to talk."

Yao An frowned, and seeing Shu Yu leave with Kang Shi, he immediately gave Yao Hong a wink.

Yao Hong took a few steps forward, "I'll go too."

Shu Yu suddenly stopped and turned to look at Yao Hong. "Miss Yao, have you been to school?"

Yao Hong was stunned for a moment, then her face flushed with anger. She felt that Shu Yu was humiliating her.

"Of course I've read it."
