Chapter 1132 Yao An's Attentiveness to Shu Yu
Kang nodded repeatedly upon hearing this, "You're right. It just so happens that Brother Bo is off tomorrow, and he'll be coming home tonight. I'll discuss it with him then."
Shu Yu nodded, then turned to see that she was still clutching her stomach.
Shu Yu was really worried about her startled reaction, so she said to her, "Sister-in-law, Doctor Zhao happens to be in the capital. Why don't you... ask him to come and take a look at you?"
Madam Kang's eyes lit up. "Really? Doctor Zhao is in the capital? Great! Please invite him over for me."
Shu Yu then turned to Ying Xi and asked him to find someone.
Zhao Xi should still be in the courtyard preparing his medicines today, while Meng Yunzheng went out early this morning.
He will leave after Meng Pei arrives in the capital, and it's unknown when he will return.
The collaboration between Meng Yunzheng and the Fifth Prince has now come to an end, and it's time to say goodbye.
Yingxi left the Yao family soon after, and Shuyu stayed with Madam Kang for a while longer.
A short while later, Madam Yao came over and asked them to go out for lunch.
When they arrived at the dinner table, Yao An and the other two were already waiting there.
Madam Yao originally wanted the servants to deliver the meal to Yao An separately, since the table was full of women and he was the only man, which would make him feel uncomfortable.
Who knew that when she brought Kang Shi and Shu Yu over, Yao An had already arrived, poured himself a glass of wine, and looked completely at ease.
Madam Yao couldn't say anything, but she was dissatisfied. They really didn't know any manners. They had guests at home and sat down at the table before the guests came out. No wonder the brother and sister were so unpopular.
Madam Yao ignored them and turned to entertain Shu Yu.
Because there were outsiders present, she couldn't talk about private matters, so she simply started chatting about the scenery of the capital.
As they were talking, Yao An would chime in, occasionally adding his own comments, acting as if he knew everything about the capital, even though he wasn't a local himself.
Madam Yao frowned as she looked at him; Yao An's behavior was far too attentive.
Yao An was completely unaware and even tried to serve Shu Yu some food.
Shu Yu was extremely annoyed, and the meal was a very unpleasant experience for her.
But Yao An seemed oblivious, continuing on his own, "Actually, Huajiang Prefecture is quite beautiful and very prosperous. Our Yao family is one of the wealthiest families in Huajiang Prefecture. My father is the head of the family, and let's not even talk about anything else, just say..."
Shu Yu took a deep breath, and suddenly turned to look at him curiously, after ignoring him all along. "So amazing?"
Yao Hong slightly raised her chin, looking somewhat smug.
Wang Jiayi kept her head down, but her grip on the chopsticks tightened slightly. She would occasionally look up at Kang Shi, making Kang Shi's heart pound with fear. Neither of them paid much attention to the conversations of the other people at the table.
Upon hearing Shu Yu's reply, Yao An smiled with satisfaction, "Yes, if Mr. Lu is interested, I can introduce you to someone."
Shu Yu: "There's just one thing I'm really interested in."
"What?" Yao An asked impatiently.
Shu Yu smiled and said, "Since your Yao family is one of the top families in Huajiang Prefecture, why didn't your father, the head of the family, lend a hand when Uncle Yao first arrived in the Southwest and faced many difficulties?"
The expressions of Yao An and Yao Hong, the siblings, suddenly froze.
Mrs. Yao suddenly felt refreshed and relaxed.
Shu Yu, seemingly oblivious to Yao An's stiff smile, continued to ask curiously, "That makes things difficult. You didn't offer help when he was in need, and now that Uncle Yao is finally reaping the rewards, it's a shame you can't just take advantage of him. After all, it's only fair to reciprocate, right?"
