Chapter 1227 The Xiao Family Comes Knocking
Hu Li quickly changed the subject, and Granny Gu couldn't press him for an answer, so she could only laugh awkwardly as she talked to him and walked toward the county government office.
However, her mood sank to the bottom, and her expression became worried.
She went to the Lu family's house on purpose today. The two-week agreement between Lu Xiangjun and Miss was due today, and Miss was feeling restless as soon as she woke up this morning.
So Granny Gu offered to go to the Lu family to see if someone had indeed come to propose marriage.
Who knew that as soon as I walked onto Fenghuai Street, I would see Hu Li.
Granny Gu found it strange, and then she saw Hu Li and Lu Xiangjun talking over there, and the way they were talking clearly indicated that they were discussing private matters.
Granny Gu's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that Shui Xin had guessed correctly? Was Lu Xiangjun planning to complain to their master?
They were stalling for time before, but now that the half-month period is almost up, they can't delay any longer, so they simply contacted Xiang Weinan.
The more Granny Gu thought about it, the more uneasy she became. As soon as she returned to the county office, she immediately told Madam Xiao what she had seen.
Madam Xiao's expression changed, and she slammed her hand on the table. "Let him complain then! I want to see if my husband will really come to settle accounts with me for that woman. I am, after all, a proper wife of a prince. Am I afraid of her?"
That's what she said, but what Xiao cared about was Xiang Weinan. If he really came to question her, she would probably feel heartbroken.
Thinking of this, Xiao Shi looked somewhat listless.
Originally, Granny Gu was considering whether to go to Lady Lu, but seeing Xiao's attitude, she could only comfort her, "Miss, perhaps we guessed wrong. Lady Lu may not necessarily be here to complain."
"Then let's wait and see if my husband will come."
However, when the afternoon came, Xiang Weinan not only did not come, but it was also said that he went out of the city on business.
Xiao felt a sense of relief for no apparent reason, but then became somewhat annoyed. A day had passed since Shu Yu mentioned half a month, and there was still no sign of a marriage proposal.
Even if she didn't complain, the fact remains that she lied.
But she waited another day to confirm that no one from the Lu family had indeed proposed marriage. Early on the third day, she said to Granny Gu, "Let's go, we should also go and pay a visit to this Lady Lu."
"yes."
Granny Gu agreed, helped Xiao change her clothes, and took a simple-minded maid with her. The three of them then left the county government office.
Once inside the carriage, we headed straight for Fenghuai Street.
Halfway there, the simple-minded maid suddenly said, "Miss, there are two horses following us."
When Madam Xiao and Granny Gu looked back, they indeed saw two people sitting on horseback, slowly walking behind them.
Granny Gu frowned. "The streets in this county town are just too narrow." She instructed the driver in front, "Let's move to the side and let them pass first. There are two tall horses behind us, which is quite intimidating."
And since they're so close, what if the two horses go berserk?
The coachman quickly grabbed the reins and moved closer to the side of the road. Sure enough, the two horses passed them one after the other and overtook them.
Before the horse left, the rider bowed to the coachman and said, "Thank you."
The coachman nodded, and the two horses quickly disappeared from their sight.
Granny Gu lifted the carriage curtain and glanced inside. "They seem to have turned into Fenghuai Street as well."
Xiao said absentmindedly, "Fenghuai Street is full of rich people, it's not surprising."
