Chapter 1519 Fang Xiyue and Ma Lu got married

Shu Yu smiled and walked to the side to open the letter, listening to the old lady coaxing Xiao Zaozao as she read it.

The letter was sent by Fang Xiyue. Although Shu Yu had been back from exile for almost a year and a half, they had never lost contact.

However, the journey was long, and they were exiles, so it was not very convenient for them to exchange letters. Therefore, after so much time, there were only three or four letters exchanged.

Shu Yu thought this letter was just a routine greeting, simply catching up on each other's recent situations.

Unexpectedly, the first sentence startled Shu Yu.

Seeing that her smile kept widening as she looked at the letter, Shu You finally couldn't help but ask, "What's written in this letter? Why do you seem so happy?"

Shu Yu looked up and said, "Fang Xiyue got married."

Shu You was pleasantly surprised, "Really?"

The old lady heard it too and hurriedly looked over. "She got married? That's right, Xiyue is a month older than you, she's sixteen already, it's about time she got married. Who did she marry? How old is he?"

She kept asking him questions, and Shu Yu didn't know which one to answer.

The old lady grew impatient, "Hurry up and tell me!"

“We all know this man, it’s Ma Lu.” He’s the captain of the third team who went hunting with Shu Yu and killed a tiger.

The old lady had a good impression of Ma Lu. "Ma Lu is good. She's capable, shrewd, and doesn't get involved in any shady dealings. Xi Yue will be fine with her."

Shu Yu laughed and said, "Not only that, Ma Lu is now working for Cheng Xian, and Cheng Xian is one of Lord Cheng's subordinates."

This time, the old lady was genuinely surprised. "He's working under Master Cheng? He's bound to amount to something in the future."

Shu Yu hadn't expected this turn of events. She wondered how Ma Lu had gotten involved with Lord Cheng, who was a confidant of Cheng Xian. If Ma Lu followed him and performed well, he would eventually rise to prominence.

Moreover, Ma Lu had already shown his face to Lord Cheng when he killed the tiger.

Seeing that Shu Yu was silent, the old lady quickly asked, "What else was written at the end? When did they get married?"

Shu Yu glanced at it and said, "This letter was sent two months ago, just two or three days after the wedding."

That's mid-June, the old lady said. "We didn't know before, but now that we do, we need to prepare some gifts to congratulate them when we reply."

"I can prepare this. I'll go check the warehouse now."

After finishing speaking, Shu Yu folded the letter and left.

The old lady paused, then called out from behind, "There's no rush! It's so late. Honestly, what else was written at the end of the letter? You left without even reading it."

Shu You silently took a sip of water. She was sitting next to Shu Yu and had actually seen a little bit of it. The letter was quite long and contained a lot of information.

She vaguely saw... the Shu family.

So she figured the rest of the letter must be about the Shu family.

Shu Yu didn't want the old lady to worry, so she simply made an excuse to leave and then watched it.

Shu You smiled and diverted the old lady's attention.

Shu Yu had already returned to Yu Garden. She had only glanced at the letter in her hand briefly before reading it carefully. Now that she had sat down, she continued to read the contents.

Regarding Ma Lu, besides marrying Fang Xiyue, he also subtly revealed some information.

He had other motives for becoming Cheng Daren's subordinate.
