A few words in Chapter 995
When Shu Yu bought Hua Xian, there was actually a question he didn't quite understand.
At that time, Young Master Fan took a fancy to Hua Xian. Hua Xian did not want to be a concubine. Logically speaking, her first choice should have been to return to the old lady's side and let the old lady make the decision.
But she didn't. Instead, she asked the steward who usually took care of her for a solution.
She tried to find a way to avoid becoming a concubine, not to find a way to avoid getting married or to return to the village.
Now she understands that Zhuangzi is not a pleasant memory for her either. She doesn't want to go back, and would rather be sold than ask Old Lady Fan for help.
Ding Yuehua remained silent for a long time after listening. She never imagined that the kind-looking old woman, the grandmother who greeted her with a smile and a gift, was actually a hypocrite.
"Then, what did Hua Xian say?"
“My grandma asked her, but Hua Xian wouldn’t say anything. She only said that she hurt herself by accident.”
How careless must one be to suffer so many injuries?
Ding Yuehua took a deep breath. "Can I go see Hua Xian?"
Shu Yu checked the time; it was still early. "Let's go. She's been staying at Yiren Pavilion with my grandma these past few days."
Shu Yu told Lu Erbai, who had just finished looking at the blueprints, and said there was no problem, so he asked Ding Yuehua to take them back.
The two then headed straight for Ningshui Street.
The shop was always bustling. When Shu Yu arrived, Da Ya was doing someone's makeup.
She has already developed the ability to style people independently, especially after her trip to Southwest China, where she saw a lot of the world and gained her own unique insights. She is no longer as timid and hesitant to speak up as she used to be.
Now, when receiving guests, she has the ability to confidently promote clothes and face creams.
Seeing that she was busy, Shu Yu didn't disturb her and went to the backyard with Ding Yuehua. Before leaving, she asked Hua Xian to pour two cups of tea.
After the sunflowers in the backyard were cut down, it became bare, but it didn't look so crowded anymore, and the stone benches were moved back out from under the porch.
Hua Xian quickly brought over the tea. Shu Yu and Ding Yuehua exchanged a glance and then asked in front of Hua Xian, "Now that you've separated your family, it's good that your old lady wants to come back from the estate to live with you. There's always an elder in the family. Look how good my relationship with my grandma is! Maybe next time you can bring your old lady over to keep my grandma company."
Hua Xian's hand holding the teacup trembled suddenly, and the tea almost spilled.
Shu Yu and Ding Yuehua both looked up at her at the same time.
Hua Xian's fingers clenched, her breathing slightly rapid, and she hurriedly lowered her head, saying, "I'm so sorry, Second Miss, Third Young Mistress, I didn't hold it properly and almost dirtied Master's clothes..."
She kept apologizing, but still didn't mention what the old lady of the Fan family had done to her.
Shu Yu waved her hand, "It's alright, you can go back to your shop in the front and get busy."
"Yes." Hua Xian quickly took the tray and left.
Shu Yu gave Ying Xi a wink, and the latter immediately followed.
A short while later, she returned. "Hua Xian was very anxious, pacing back and forth, her face was pale, and she didn't look well."
Shu Yu nodded. "Shall we wait a little longer?"
Ding Yuehua: "Okay."
It's normal that she struggled to tell me the truth.
Sure enough, Hua Xian returned shortly after. She pursed her lips, lowered her head, and didn't dare to look at Ding Yuehua. She whispered, "Second Miss, may I speak with you alone for a moment?"
Shu Yu, looking completely oblivious, walked with her to the corridor.
That concludes today's bonus update! Mwah!
