Chapter 1056 Departure in one hour
Ding Yuehua paused for a moment, then shook her head. "I don't know about that. You can ask her later. But Ayu is usually very busy and doesn't like these kinds of occasions, so it's hard to say."
"I see." Kong Zhiyou frowned. "Yuehua, could you ask Lord Luxiang for me?"
"Why don't you just ask yourself?"
“My relationship with Lu Xiangjun is not as close as yours. I’m afraid she’ll be unhappy if I go and invite her so abruptly.”
Ding Yuehua paused for a moment. If she still didn't understand Kong Zhiyou's thoughts by now, then she would be too slow-witted and wouldn't need to run a business or manage a shop outside.
But given Shu Yu's current status, not to mention Zhi You, everyone else would want to get along with her.
Just like the people surrounding Shu Yu now, not many of them are actually very close to her.
Such little thoughts are normal and not excessive.
Ding Yuehua glanced at Kong Zhiyou, noticing her nervousness, pursed her lips, and said, "I will pass on the message, but if Ayu is unavailable, there's nothing I can do."
That's what he said, but he couldn't help but sigh inwardly, and his gaze became somewhat distant.
Perhaps it's because everyone is married now, but their relationships don't seem as close as they used to be when they were still young ladies in their chambers. Even Zhiyou speaks to her indirectly and has started to take advantage of her.
For the rest of the time, Ding Yuehua seemed somewhat distracted.
Fortunately, Ding Yuehua's husband, Fan Sanshao, also arrived. Everyone had already begun to take their seats, and Kong Zhiyou, preoccupied with her own thoughts, did not notice anything unusual about her.
The banquet at the Lu family's house was very lavish. Ding Yuehua, Doctor Xu, and the others were fine, but the relatives and friends from Shangshi Village ate with great satisfaction and were reluctant to leave.
There wasn't much food left over, but everyone rushed to pack it up and take it home.
Even Liang, who loved to take advantage of others, realized it was too late; there wasn't a single piece of meat left for her on the table, which infuriated her.
After lunch, everyone was reluctant to leave, but they had to continue their journey. They could only say goodbye to the Lu family members one by one and leave the Lu family home one after another.
Ding Yuehua and Fan Sanshao also came to say goodbye. Shu Yu was thinking that Ding Yuehua's house was nearby, and they hadn't had a chance to talk before. Now that the guests had all left, it would be a good time to sit down and chat.
I never expected her to leave us so early.
Ding Yuehua was eager to go to Donggu County to buy the two white horses and give them to her, so naturally she couldn't delay any longer.
Young Master Fan is very busy. Since the family split, he has been dedicated to developing his own business. He only rushed over today because the banquet was about to start.
Seeing this, Shu Yu didn't stop them. Following closely behind, Doctor Xu, Master Yu, Jiang Yi, Madam Deng, Master Wen, and others also left, and the Lu family suddenly became quiet.
The table has been tidied up by everyone, and the Lu family members are now curiously looking at the jade ruyi bestowed by the emperor.
After glancing at it twice, Shu Yu went to find Meng Yunzheng.
The latter was standing by the pond in the backyard talking to Ying Dong. When she came over, Ying Dong nodded and went to do his work.
It was hot outside, so the two went to sit in the pavilion.
Meng Yunzheng held a fan in his hand and started fanning her as soon as he sat down.
"Have you opened and looked at the congratulatory gifts sent by Lord Qi and the others?"
Shu Yu shook her head; she wasn't in the mood for that right now. "When...are you leaving?"
Meng Yunzheng slowed his fan-waving motion for a second, then continued waving it as if nothing had happened, "One hour later."
