Chapter 1066 Shu Yu Goes to the Capital
The old lady was a little surprised to see her return at this hour, but Shu Yu had already gone inside and started packing.
That evening, after the whole family had returned home, she finally told them about her plans to go to the capital.
The Lu family was all taken aback. "You're going to the capital?"
This time, Shu Yu didn't hide anything to avoid worrying her family. She nodded, "I'm worried about A-Yun. Since he left, I haven't been able to muster the energy to do anything. Now that things have settled down at home, I might as well go to the capital to take a look."
The old woman scolded, "Shameless!"
Shu Yu took her hand and said, "Grandma, I'm just being honest. Besides, I've thought about it. I've never been to the capital before, so I'll take this opportunity to go and see it. I'll also check out the market there. I plan to expand my sunflower planting in the future, and whether I make oil or roast it, I'll have to sell it. Our Jiangyuan County is a bit small, so even if we raise the price, I'm afraid not many people will buy it. It's different in the capital. There are many high-ranking officials and wealthy people there, and they're more open to new things."
That's what she said, but the old lady knew it was just an excuse; she was actually worried about Meng Yunzheng.
Otherwise, if we want to sell things, Jiangyuan County won't do it, so why can't we do it in Dong'an Prefecture either?
With Ayu's abilities and powerful backing like Lord Yao and Lord Qi in the capital, the old lady is at ease.
The Lu family was completely unaware of the relationship between Meng Yunzheng and Gong Qiu, nor did they know that he was involved in such a major event as the struggle for the throne. They only thought that he had important matters to attend to, at most assuming that he was going back to seize the family property.
Therefore, when Shu Yu said she was going to the capital, the Lu family exchanged glances but did not stop her.
Shu You, on the other hand, looked up at her, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back.
She wanted to go too, but the shop had just stabilized and couldn't do without her. Besides, she wasn't as clever, quick-witted, or skilled as Ayu, and this time it wasn't like the last time Ayu was exiled. She was afraid that if she went, she would be a burden to Ayu.
Shu Yu knew what she was thinking, so she reached out and took her hand, saying, "Sister, don't worry. When we get to the capital, I'll keep an eye on Zhao Xi for you and make sure he doesn't get involved with other girls."
"Pfft." Shu You was amused by her and couldn't help but say, "Brother Zhao isn't that kind of person either."
"So you're speaking up for him now?"
Shu You glared at her, then took a deep breath and gripped her hand in return, "Then you must take good care of yourself on the journey."
"Don't worry, would I let myself suffer a loss?"
That was settled. After explaining the situation in Jiangyuan County, Shu Yu took Ying Xi out early the next morning.
She went to the county government office and told Xiang Weinan.
Xiang Weinan showed no surprise whatsoever. "Alright, go ahead if you want. You know people in the capital, so I'm not worried."
He paused for a moment, then handed over an iron plaque. "If you need anything, go to the Xiang residence to find someone. If you don't need anything, return this plaque to me whenever you return."
Xiang Weinan's family is in the capital. He came to Jiangyuan County for two reasons: first, to gain experience and improve his chances of promotion; and second, to investigate the Shu family in Dong'an Prefecture. Now that the Shu family has been exiled, it's hard to say when Xiang Weinan will be transferred back to the capital.
She accepted the metal plaque, saying, "Thank you very much."
He waved to Wei Nan, telling her to be careful on her journey.
Shu Yu took his leave, and He Yingxi went straight out of the city gate and headed straight for the manor.
