Chapter 1127 Yao An's Thoughts
"Then you should understand what it means to speak intimately with someone, right?" Shu Yu asked with a smile.
Yao Hong stopped in her tracks, feeling somewhat embarrassed for a moment. She didn't chase after them any further and just watched helplessly as the two of them left the main room and returned to their own courtyard.
After Zhu's mother left, Yao Hong couldn't help but stomp her foot angrily, "What a piece of trash..."
Wang Jiayi, who hadn't spoken until now, whispered a reminder, "Cousin, she is the Lady of the Township."
"So what if she's a village head? My uncle is the Vice Minister of Works." As if she'd never seen anything like it, did she think some nobody village head could intimidate her?
Yao Hong turned her head and glared at Yao An, "Brother, it's all your fault. Why did you make me follow them?"
Yao An's eyes lit up, and he lowered his voice to ask, "Little sister, what do you think of your brother marrying her and making her your sister-in-law?"
Yao Hong stared in astonishment, her eyes widening. She instinctively turned to look at Wang Jiayi beside her, "But, but..."
However, Wang Jiayi had already lowered her head.
Yao Hong hesitated to speak up, lest the situation become even more awkward.
But she had no liking for Shu Yu at all, and immediately disagreed, saying, "I don't think she's anything special. Brother, she's just a county princess, not some great person. We've met county princesses and princesses before, what's so special about her?"
Yao An turned around and glanced at her. "What do you know? She is now a village lady, but look at the kind of people she knows. Not to mention our cousin, there is also that Lord Jing. Not long ago, the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review was demoted because he was involved in the Second Prince's case. Lord Jing was promoted from Vice Minister of the Court of Judicial Review to Minister of the Court of Judicial Review. It can be seen how much the Emperor values him."
"That's fine, but there's also Lord Qi. He's a favorite of the Emperor, and his influence in the court goes without saying. Even he cares about the birthday gift of a mere village lady. Doesn't that say something? If I marry her, would I need to grovel and fawn over my uncle if I wanted to get an official position?"
Yao Hong was taken aback. Indeed, although Lu Shuyu was just a minor village head, the people she knew were all high-ranking officials.
If her brother marries her and can secure a position in the capital, her marriage prospects will be much easier to discuss.
However, it's unfair to my cousin Jiayi.
But it doesn't matter. As long as her brother loves her cousin Jiayi in the future, she will still be the one who wins.
Yao Hong couldn't help but look at Wang Jiayi again, but the latter looked absent-minded with her head down.
The three of them fell silent, each lost in their own thoughts.
Shu Yu was unaware that she was being targeted again. She followed Madam Kang back to her courtyard and saw Madam Kang breathe a sigh of relief as she was helped to sit down by her maid.
Shu Yu paused slightly upon seeing this action, and asked uncertainly, "Sister-in-law, what are you doing...?"
When Kang saw her gaze fall on her belly, she smiled gently and nodded, "Yes, I'm pregnant, just over three months along."
"Really?" Shu Yu's eyes lit up. "Congratulations, sister-in-law!"
Kang was a little embarrassed, pursed her lips and said softly, "Speaking of which, I have to thank you for this."
Shu Yu was puzzled, and Kang explained, "Thanks to you for bringing Doctor Zhao to take a look at me. He prescribed a medicine for me, and I've been taking it ever since. My body has gradually recovered. Otherwise, I don't know when this child would have come."
She reached out and touched her still relatively flat stomach, her eyes filled with tenderness.
