Chapter 982 Lord Lu Xiang is too rude

Since it concerned her own affairs, Shu Yu certainly couldn't sit still.

She was about to follow them to see what was going on when Kong Zhiyou hesitated for a moment and quickly stopped her, saying, "Lu Xiangjun, this is a matter within the Fan family, and it's not appropriate for us to get involved."

No, this isn't just a matter for the Fan family. If the blueprints really originated because of her, she has to go and see them.

"Yuehua might be in trouble. I'll go check on her and come right back."

Shu Yu couldn't wait any longer, so she grabbed him and chased after him, with Ying Xi following immediately behind.

Kong Zhiyou could only watch her retreating figure and stamp her foot, "Why did she actually go?"

She took two steps outside, then stopped and sat back down in her original spot to wait.

Suddenly, only she, her maid Qiuju, and a few old women guarding the gate remained in Xilan Garden.

With no one else around, Qiuju couldn't help but whisper, "Miss, how can Lord Lu be so inconsiderate? How can he knowingly go to see what's going on in someone else's household when he already knows something bad has happened?"

Kong Zhiyou glared at her, "Don't talk nonsense." Then she sighed, "You have to understand her. Lu Xiangjun used to be a peasant girl. You know how it is in the countryside. Wherever there's excitement, those gossipy old women will flock there, eager to see others make a fool of themselves. There's no sense of propriety there. She just hasn't changed some of her habits. Now that she's a village head, her status is different. She's surrounded by friends like us. She'll naturally change as she spends more time with them."

After saying that, he warned Qiuju a couple more times, "Don't say anything inappropriate in the future. Your young lady owes a lot of help to her back then, and I also wanted to befriend her. If she encounters such a rule that she doesn't understand next time, I will stop her and persuade her. Lu Xiangjun is intelligent and will understand soon."

Qiuju pursed her lips, but didn't say anything more.

She just felt that after spending so much time together today, it seemed that Miss had been intentionally or unintentionally trying to get closer to Lu Xiangjun.

However, Lu Xiangjun showed no enthusiasm whatsoever, and even her maid, Yingxi, seemed indifferent to everyone.

She asked two questions, and Ying Xi answered two questions, without ever initiating a conversation with her.

What's so great about that? Do they really think becoming a village head will make them soar to the top? Their son-in-law will definitely pass the provincial examination in two years, and he'll even get an official position. Their daughter will be an official's wife in the future, which is much more prestigious than a village head from a small place.

Kong Zhiyou had no idea what the maid was thinking; she was also quite bored sitting alone in the main room.

Given what happened to the Fan family, Ding Yuehua was likely to clash directly with the eldest daughter-in-law of the Fan family, and it was bound to be difficult to handle in a short time.

She can't just stay here and wait to see the result, can she? That would be so rude.

So Kong Zhiyou sat for a while longer, and before Ding Yuehua and Shu Yu returned, she got up to say goodbye.

When she reached the entrance of Xilan Garden, she turned her head towards the main house, but couldn't hear anything, so she shook her head and left the Fan family.

Shu Yu followed Ding Yuehua early on and they entered Beiqingyuan, where the main house of the Fan family was located.

There was still an old woman guarding the door, but when Ding Yuehua rushed in just now, the old woman was so anxious that she chased after her.

This made things convenient for Shu Yu. With no one watching outside, she simply took a step and followed them into the courtyard.
