Chapter 988 Do you know who drew the blueprints?

Others also thought this woman must be crazy. They were inexplicably made uneasy by the laughter.

"Hahaha." Shu Yu finally finished laughing, straightened up, wiped her eyes, and turned to look at Madam Mei with a smile. "You said that drawing was terrible, like a child's drawing? Do you know who drew it?"

Mei said, "Who painted this? It was painted by the Heavenly King himself, and it's true that it's terrible."

"It's not that exaggerated. Of course, the painting wasn't drawn by the Emperor himself. However, the blueprints were drawn by Yao Tianqin, a senior official in the Ministry of Works in the capital."

Mei's eyes widened. "You, who are you talking about?"

This wasn't the first time Shu Yu had used a trivial matter as a pretext. Since Lord Yao had given her father so many blueprints, she figured she might as well use his name for a while.

"Of course, you probably don't know Lord Yao, who holds an official position in the capital. But you must have heard of the high-speed rotary irrigation system that's been heavily promoted in various prefectures and counties recently, right? That's an irrigation tool designed and made by Lord Yao, which received high praise from the Emperor. And now you're saying that Lord Yao's drawings are terrible? Who are you questioning? Lord Yao's ability, the Emperor's vision, or even that irrigation tool that benefits the country and its people and brings them convenience?!"

Shu Yu's questions, one after another, struck Mei's heart like a hammer.

As she finished speaking, her face turned deathly pale.

"No, that's impossible." Madam Mei suddenly raised her head and said abruptly, "You're trying to scare me. How could you possibly know a senior official in the Ministry of Works in the capital, and how could you possibly have his blueprints?"

Yu, who was standing to the side, composed herself and chimed in, "That's right, where did you get those blueprints? Did you steal them?"

"The blueprints were naturally given to me by Lord Yao."

Mei scoffed, "How could that be? Who do you think you are? If it's something important, why would I give it to you?"

This time, Shu Yu didn't need to introduce herself. Ding Yuehua stepped forward, as if relieved, and said, "This is my friend Lu Shu Yu, who was recently conferred the title of Lady Lu by the Emperor. Everyone in the city knows her. Shu Yu was in the southwest, and so was Lord Yao. Is it strange that they know each other? In fact, Shu Yu's father and Lord Yao were good friends. You destroyed Lord Yao's hard work, so why are you still acting so self-righteous?"

Yu and Mei looked at Shu Yu with sudden surprise. Lu, Lady Lu? She is Lady Lu?

Their legs felt weak, and if the maid behind them hadn't supported them, they probably would have fallen to the ground.

The village lord might be an extraordinary figure to ordinary people, but to the Fan family, he was someone they could curry favor with, but they didn't need to be afraid of.

Yu had even accompanied her cousin to the prefectural city to attend the county princess's banquet before, so she was considered to have seen the world.

But Lord Yao in the capital is different; he's a high-ranking official in the capital.

Even though they were inside the manor and didn't care about farm tools, they had still heard of the high-speed rotary drum, which was obviously famous throughout the entire Da Su Dynasty.

Lord Yao, who invented this thing, was not a high-ranking official among the officials in the capital, but he was definitely a favorite of the emperor.

The drawings created by such a person were burned by the Mei family?

Both Madam Mei and Madam Yu were trembling uncontrollably, and the courtyard fell silent instantly.

Unbeknownst to anyone, a figure was hiding outside the courtyard, carefully observing the movements inside.
