Chapter 1124 This is a distinguished guest
Because Shu Yu had humiliated Yao An several times before, Yao An harbored resentment and always assumed the worst about her.
It was as if he could only breathe a sigh of relief by belittling her into the dust and ditch.
When he saw Shu Yu and Yao Tianqin walking in, chatting and laughing, he was taken aback.
Before he could even figure out the connection, his younger sister Yao Hong blurted out, "Auntie, look! I told you that girl was up to no good. Not only did she try to seduce my brother, but now that she's seen Uncle, she's shamelessly snuggling up to him. Look at how affectionate they are! I've never seen Uncle so happy before. That girl is really cunning..."
However, before she could finish speaking, Madam Yao stood up in surprise and rushed over to greet her.
"Ayu?"
Shu Yu looked up and saw that Madam Yao had already walked up to her, her eyes filled with surprise and delight. "Ayu, it's you! What brings you to the capital, girl?"
Madam Kang also came forward, greeting her with a smile, "So it's Second Sister who's here! What a rare and honored guest! Last time you came, you didn't even leave a message. Mother and I guessed for a long time, but we never expected it was you who came to the capital. Come in, come in and sit down."
Shu Yu was pulled into the main room by her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law and sat down directly in a chair. Without saying a word, Madam Yao ordered the servants to serve tea and snacks, treating her like a VIP among VIPs.
This scene left Yao An and the others dumbfounded; they hadn't expected that this man surnamed Lu would be so familiar with the Yao family.
Then I thought back to when they first came to the Yao family, their aunt and sister-in-law weren't this welcoming; they received very ordinary treatment.
Thinking about this makes me feel very uncomfortable.
Before they could think further, Yao Tianqin frowned and asked, "What? You came over last time? Ayu came? How come I didn't know about that?"
Madam Yao glanced at Yao An and the others, then pulled Yao Tianqin aside and said, "I'll talk to you about this later. But you, why did you come back at this time?"
Yao Tianqin said, "The drawings I made last night are still in my study. I left in a hurry this morning and didn't take them with me. I came back to get them."
Mrs. Yao said, "Then you should go quickly."
"No rush, no rush, Ayu just arrived, I..."
Madam Yao glared at him. "We've got A-Yu here. What good are you if you stay?"
"I need to ask her about something. I'll have someone ask for leave from the government office."
Shu Yu couldn't help but rub her forehead. "Uncle Yao, you go ahead and do your work. If you want to ask me anything, you can do it later."
It's not easy for Yao Tianqin to take leave now, as there are very few capable people in the Ministry of Works. A few months ago, a vice minister of the Ministry of Works was removed from his post, and Yao Tianqin took his place.
But now another Vice Minister of Works, Gong Qiu, has also been beheaded. Not only him, but the Ministry of Works can be considered Gong Qiu's domain. Many officials in it have been implicated, and the Ministry of Works is facing a severe shortage of personnel.
Not to mention Yao Tianqin, even the Minister of Works, who originally planned to retire and just be a pillar of stability, had to come out and work.
Originally, the Minister of Works should have been held accountable for his poor management and inability to control his subordinates. However, the Ministry of Works was short of personnel, so he was allowed to remain in his position as Minister to atone for his mistakes and stabilize the Ministry of Works.
Therefore, let alone asking for leave, Yao Tianqin had to squeeze out even half an hour of extra sleep a day.
Shu Yu didn't want to cause him any trouble at this critical juncture because of her arrival.
