Chapter 1729: Is Granny Fang hiding something?

Shu Yu smiled and kneaded the dough with water in one go. "I can cook quite a few things. If I have the chance in the future, I'll cook some authentic dishes from Dong'an Prefecture for my mother-in-law."

Grandma Fang was taken aback, then said, flattered, "No need, no need. I'm an old woman, and I can't eat anything good. I'm full after a couple of sips of porridge."

Shu Yu lifted the pot lid and saw that the water had boiled. She then placed the steamer full of steamed buns on it and covered it with the lid.

She then started making pancakes, casually mentioning as she did so, "Grandma, you don't need to be so polite with me. By the way, you mentioned before that your hometown is Dong'an Prefecture, but which county is it exactly? Are there any family members left? I've been to several counties."

However, upon hearing this, Grandma Fang's smiling expression froze for a moment.

She forced a smile. "It's gone. There's no one left."

Is nobody here?

Shu Yu wanted to ask more, but Granny Fang quickly changed the subject, "Miss Lu, how many pancakes are you making? It seems like there isn't enough filling. I'll go to the yard and cut two more cabbages."

After saying that, Grandma Fang hurriedly left.

The figure looked somewhat like someone fleeing in panic. Shu Yu paused slightly, watching her figure disappear outside the courtyard, and slowly frowned.

Grandma Fang didn't seem to have any intention of talking about family matters; she was clearly avoiding the topic.

Sure enough, when Granny Fang came in again, Shu Yu tried a different approach, asking about the flood years ago, but Granny Fang changed the subject again.

After that, Shu Yu stopped being so tactless.

If the other party is unwilling to talk about it, it seems a bit strange for her to keep asking.

Since Granny Fang is unwilling to say, she'll ask Yuan Gui later.

Two large baskets of steamed buns and flatbreads had just been made when Meng Qi and Doctor Mi had already set the table outside and came over to call them to come out and eat together.

When Shu Yu arrived at the flower hall, she saw Yuan Gui bending over to arrange the stools.

She was slightly surprised. "How is your injury?"

Yuan Gui straightened up, patted his wrist, and smiled, "It's all right now."

While slurping his porridge, Dr. Mi said, "He only suffered superficial injuries, nothing serious, just a rather gruesome appearance. The main problem was excessive blood loss, plus he hadn't eaten for two days, so he looked pale and was unconscious. But the medicine you gave him yesterday was top-quality, and the effect was very obvious. After only a day and a night of rest, he's back to his old self. His self-healing ability is quite strong."

Yuan Gui chuckled. Perhaps because of Jiang Kuanyu's incident last time, his injuries were much more serious than they were now. Now, he was just cut a few times, and he really didn't think much of it.

Shu Yu nodded. "That's good."

The group sat down to eat breakfast, but halfway through, Uncle Meng woke up.

Meng Qi quickly brought in the warm porridge. Uncle Meng hadn't eaten anything for a long time, and given his current physical condition, he could only eat liquid food.

Fortunately, the person is alright. Dr. Mi said that they just need to take good care of themselves.

After finishing her meal, Shu Yu planned to take the steamed buns and flatbreads to Xia Yi and the others. Just as she finished packing all the food, Meng Qi returned with a half-eaten bowl, but his expression was somewhat serious. He said to Shu Yu, "Sister Shu Yu, I have to go back."

Shu Yu was taken aback. "Go back? Back to the Meng Family Escort Agency?"

Meng Qi nodded. "Yes, my dad asked me to go back and talk to my uncle about something."
