Chapter 1049 Giving Gifts to Wei Nan
For a moment, Zhang's face paled. At the same time, a voice that sounded like heavenly music to her came from outside the crowd, "Who wants to see me?"
The onlookers stepped aside, making way for Wei Nan to emerge with several officials and a cart.
He said with a chuckle, "Sorry I'm late."
Ding Yuehua spoke in a slightly nervous whisper, "What should we do? Lord Xiang is here."
Lu Sanzhu said with absolute confidence, "Let him come. My Ayu knows Lord Xiang."
"Of course I know they know each other, but one thing is one thing, and a private relationship is a private matter. Now, in public, and with the other party being a county princess, Lord Xiang has to give her some face. He can't openly favor A-Yu, can he? That wouldn't make sense."
Lu Sanzhu clicked his tongue, "That won't do, Lord Xiang will definitely favor Ayu."
Ding Yuehua, "...", couldn't agree with him.
She looked at Shu Yu, who showed no concern whatsoever; instead, she was interested in the cart behind Xiang Weinan.
There seem to be quite a lot of things on that cart, all brought to her doorstep. Could it all be for her?
As for what County Magistrate Zhang said about insubordination...
Shu Yu shrugged and said to Ding Yuehua, "Have I ever done anything disrespectful to County Princess Zhang? How could someone as well-mannered as me do such a thing?"
Ding Yuehua blinked. "No?"
She turned to look at Princess Zhang.
When County Magistrate Zhang saw Xiang Weinan approaching, a look of joy appeared on her face, and she hurriedly ran forward, asking, "Are you the magistrate of Jiangyuan County?"
"I am indeed an official. Who are you?"
The maidservant of the Lady Zhang immediately stepped forward and said, "This is our young lady, Lady Zhang from Dong'an Prefecture."
"Oh, so you're the county princess."
County Magistrate Zhang nodded. "Lord Xiang, you've come at the right time. I have something to discuss with you..."
“Princess Zhang, please don’t rush. I have important business to attend to. Please wait a moment while I finish this matter.”
"I……"
County Princess Zhang was naturally unhappy, but Xiang Weinan had already walked past her. As he passed Meng Yunzheng, he glanced at him and then said to Shu Yu, "Lord Lu, am I late in offering my congratulations? I apologize, I was just too busy with official business and also had some gifts to sort out, so I'm a little late."
As he spoke, he waved his hand and said, "Hu Li, bring over all the congratulatory gifts for Lu Xiangjun."
So Hu Li pulled the cart behind him over, and Shu Yu was stunned. "This whole cart is full of congratulatory gifts? Gifts for me?"
“Yes.” Huli nodded.
Lu Sanzhu's eyes lit up. Xiang was incredibly generous; no wonder he was a wealthy official, giving away so much at once.
Shu Yu, however, thought Xiang Weinan was stingy and would definitely not be willing to part with the money, so she asked uncertainly, "Lord Xiang, are these all gifts you gave me as a congratulatory present?"
"Hahaha, of course not. I was just a messenger, delivering it for someone."
Shu Yu breathed a sigh of relief. She knew Xiang Weinan could never be so generous to her.
"Whose errand is Lord Xiang running for?"
Xiang Weinan smiled at her, "Who else could it be? It was naturally sent from the capital."
The disgruntled County Princess Zhang had just stepped forward, intending to interrupt their conversation and first determine Shu Yu's guilt. But then she heard this sentence, and she was immediately stunned: People from the capital were sending gifts to Lu Shu Yu?
