Chapter 1089 Reunion with the Chang Family
Shu Yu was taken aback; the voice sounded somewhat familiar.
She turned her head slightly and saw a carriage stop not far away. A person leaned out of the carriage and looked at Shu Yu with surprise.
"Miss Lu, it really is you. When did you come to the capital?"
Shu Yu was also quite surprised; it turned out to be Madam Chang, the wife of Lord Jing, the Vice Minister of the Court of Judicial Review, and Madam Deng's cousin.
Yes, Yao Tianqin may not know much about the Gong family, but Lord Jing definitely does.
This person is a confidant of the Fifth Prince, someone who is familiar with Meng Yunzheng and has worked with him before.
Shu Yu immediately stepped forward, and Madam Chang also got off the carriage. She looked Shu Yu up and down and smiled, "I didn't expect to see you here again after we parted ways in Jiangyuan County last time. I must congratulate you on becoming a village head."
Shu Yu laughed and said, "I turned misfortune into blessing." If she hadn't been exiled, she really wouldn't have been able to produce the heating pack and become the village lord.
Chang knew she was being modest, so she smiled and glanced at the Yao family not far away.
"What's wrong...?"
Shu Yu shook her head. "It's nothing. I just met the Yao family when we were in exile. Now that I'm in the capital, I was thinking of paying them a visit. But now is obviously not the right time."
Chang didn't ask why it wasn't appropriate. Seeing that the other party didn't intend to enter the Yao family, she invited, "You rarely come to the capital, you should at least come to my house for a visit. We had a very pleasant chat last time, and I still feel like we haven't had enough."
She spoke eloquently, and Shu Yu wanted to go to the Jing family, so the two hit it off immediately and decided to set off right away.
Shu Yu turned her head and called out, "Ying Xi, let's go."
After he finished speaking, he was pulled by Madam Chang into her carriage.
Yingxi quickly got into his own carriage and followed behind. Before long, they disappeared from the gate of the Yao family's house.
The Yao siblings stood there, stunned, watching in disbelief as Shu Yu and her brother walked away.
They didn't even have time to say anything before they were gone?
Young Master Yao frowned, turned to the gatekeeper and asked, "Uncle Feng, whose carriage is that? And who is the lady sitting inside?"
Feng Bo resisted the urge to roll his eyes. "That's the carriage of Lord Jing, the Vice Minister of the Court of Judicial Review. Lady Jing is inside."
"The Vice Minister of the Court of Judicial Review?!" the Yao siblings exclaimed in surprise. "How could she know the wife of the Vice Minister of the Court of Judicial Review?"
If she has such powerful backers, why would she need to come to them to seduce them?
The brother and sister looked at each other in bewilderment.
Uncle Feng cursed them inwardly. The Yao siblings were the young master and young lady of his master's cousin's family. They arrived yesterday with great pomp and circumstance, saying they were visiting relatives. But in just one night, word spread throughout the mansion that their purpose was to secure an official position for their cousin.
Bah, wishful thinking. Even their own young master has to go through the imperial examinations to become an official.
Back when the master was exiled, how difficult was it for the Yao family? Everyone else kept their distance, and this cousin from the same clan was the best off in the Yao family, yet he also ignored the master completely.
Now that the master has not only been reinstated to his original position, but has also been promoted to Vice Minister of Works after only a few months, the Yao family immediately came knocking on his door. Who, then, is the truly malicious and shameless one?
We don't know who that young lady was, but since she knows the Vice Minister of the Court of Judicial Review, she must not be from an ordinary family. She must have come to see their master for something important.
Uncle Feng couldn't care less about the Yao siblings anymore; he had to quickly inform the master and mistress of this matter.
