Chapter 1148 Two Middle-Aged Men

Yao Hong felt that all the trouble her brother had suffered was caused by Wang Jiayi.

If she hadn't been caught red-handed and hadn't confessed to having a brother with her maid, Yao An would never have been punished by family law. Especially since Yao An herself was seriously injured, while Wang Jiayi escaped unscathed.

If she hadn't had the intention to cause such a commotion, even if her brother's attempt to drug her had failed, at least it wouldn't have been discovered.

Now, not only have they been beaten, but they've also been kicked out of the Yao family. All their efforts in the capital this past month have been in vain.

Besides, Wang Jiayi doesn't like her brother, so it's no wonder Yao Hong wouldn't treat her well.

It seems that once Yao An wakes up and Yao Hongteng takes action, Wang Jiayi's life will be very difficult.

After seeing Yao An and the other two off, the matter was considered settled.

Shu Yu planned to take her leave and go back, but Madam Yao still felt bad about it. After thinking it over, she simply gave her a lot of things and even opened the storeroom for her to go in and pick whatever she wanted.

The Yao family had only been back in Beijing for less than a year, but their warehouse was already quite full.

Although the Yao family generally does not accept gifts from strangers or unfamiliar people, when he was reinstated to his original position, many colleagues, superiors, and old friends sent him a wave of congratulatory gifts.

Later, he got promoted and sent another batch of gifts.

In addition to the rewards and compensation given by the emperor, the Yao family's storeroom was indeed filled with quite a few good things.

Shu Yu couldn't possibly have actually gone to the Yao family's storeroom to look for it. In the end, it was Madam Yao herself who brought out the items, filling most of the car.

Some of it was for Shuyu, and some was for Daya.

She had heard Shu Yu mention before that Daya was getting married this year. Compared to Shu Yu, they actually spent more time with Daya, and their relationship was naturally very close.

Especially after learning that the other party was Dr. Zhao, Yao's family was very happy for her.

They couldn't go to Dong'an Prefecture to attend the wedding, but they still had to prepare a gift, which Madam Yao had already prepared yesterday.

Shu Yu looked at the pile of gift boxes and sighed softly.

She felt like a locust swarm, going to someone's house and taking away so many things.

Fearing that Madam Yao might try to give her something else, she quickly told Ying Xi to drive the car back to the small courtyard in the south of the city.

Meng Yunzheng wasn't there, and Zhao Xi said he wouldn't be back until tomorrow, so Shu Yu tidied up and went back to her room to sleep. She barely slept a wink that night, falling asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow.

The next day, Shu Yu got up a little late, and Zhao Xi had already gone out.

He was very busy during this time, not only collecting herbs and making medicine, but also visiting several cloth shops to find suitable fabrics for Daya to take back to Jiangyuan County. He was a truly devoted fiancé.

With no one home, Shu Yu planned to go out and explore the streets after dinner.

The sunflowers her family grows are a rare find; they can be dried or used to make oil, but she's still considering how to price them.

Whether it's Jiangyuan County or Dong'an Prefecture, there aren't many rare items.

So Shu Yu wanted to see if there were any similar items priced in Beijing.

After getting up and having breakfast, Shuyu got ready to go out.

Just then, there was a knock at the door. Yingxi was harnessing the carriage, and Shuyu ran to open the door herself.

Upon opening the door, two middle-aged men, one tall and one short, both very thin, were standing outside.

The taller one had a sharper look in his eyes, while the shorter one was more gentle.

Shu Yu looked at the two strangers in surprise, "Who...are you looking for?"
