Chapter 2153 Can't Be Friends

Hou also noticed this nanny and suspected that Cen Yi's visit might be the nanny's doing.

She probably knew something about Shu Yu.

Otherwise, since Zhao Xi has already come to the capital, and Shu Yu is not the only one who knows Zhao Xi, why do they choose to look for Shu Yu instead of anyone else?

Because coming out openly and honestly will prevent people from overthinking things, and speaking frankly can also avoid some unnecessary trouble.

As the two were talking, a commotion came from the main room.

Shu Yu and Hou Shi turned their heads at the same time and saw Zhao Xi come out. Cen Yi also stood up, but she looked dazed and her steps were a little unsteady. She was helped up by the nanny so that she would not fall to the ground.

As the group walked into the courtyard, Shu Yu heard Zhao Xi say, "You should get the medicine I prescribed and take it first. Come back for a follow-up appointment in a while. Sexual intercourse is strictly prohibited while you are taking the medicine."

"Thank you, Dr. Zhao." Cen Yi had already come to her senses. Her face was still a little pale, but she thanked him very carefully and asked the nanny to pay the consultation fee.

Having seen the doctor, and with it getting late, Cen Yi decided to head home early.

She turned to say goodbye to Shu Yu, "Thank you for your introduction today, County Princess. I'll be leaving now."

Shu Yu was about to see her out, but before opening the courtyard gate, she said, "I suppose you don't want others to know that you came to see Doctor Zhao. To avoid unnecessary speculation, let's stick to the same story."

After all, they are rivals in love. No matter what, seeing them interacting will always lead to speculation.

"What explanation?"

"Just say that I wanted to open a shop and found that the cosmetics shop on Futai Street wasn't doing very well, so I wanted to rent your shop. You came here today to discuss the shop issue. It's just that the lease has turned into a sale, and I bought this shop at market price. Our relationship is simply that of buyer and seller."

Cen Yi nodded. "Okay."

That's good. Now that she and Shu Yu can have a peaceful and harmonious business conversation, they definitely don't care about Meng Yunzheng. Both sides are acting openly and honestly, so others can't say anything.

Cen Yi left the courtyard, waved to Shu Yu, and the carriage drove away.

As soon as the car drove away, Cen Yi leaned on the nanny's shoulder, looking somewhat uncomfortable.

The old woman patted her shoulder. "Cheer up, young lady. At least Doctor Zhao diagnosed the problem. As long as you take the medicine according to his prescription, you will definitely get better. Doctor Zhao also said he can calculate the auspicious date for you. When you and your husband have sex, you will get pregnant immediately."

Cen Yi nodded, still looking listless.

The old woman sighed, "This Lady Lu is quite good. She doesn't show any timidity in front of the young lady, nor does she put on airs in front of that Concubine Hou. She is patient with children, has a good eye for people, and is meticulous in her work. If we can become friends with her, it will definitely be of great benefit to the young lady."

Cen Yi frowned. "Granny, Princess Lu and I..."

"I know that although the host of Lu County is a good person, the relationship between you two is too complicated, and it's impossible for you to be friends. So from now on, let's keep our distance and avoid contact if possible."

"……Um."

The old woman looked at her and sighed inwardly. If her daughter had the same mindset as Princess Lu, she wouldn't have been bullied like this.

"It's alright. The young master has already entered the examination hall this morning. Once he passes the imperial examination and becomes an official, he will still be able to support the young lady in the future."
