Chapter 1476 County Princess Zhang is in a much worse state
When Shu Yu got up and went out the next day, Ruan Shi and A Xiang had already gone to Tan Family Cloth Shop to buy goods.
Yingxi said, "Madam said that Miss is too tired and should sleep a little longer. They are already familiar with the cloth shop and the staff can help with loading and unloading. We can just wait for them to come back at the inn."
Shu Yu laughed, "I understand."
She relaxed for a rare moment and ate breakfast at the inn. Since getting supplies wouldn't be quick, Shu Yu checked out of the guest room and simply sat in the lobby with Ying Xi to wait.
More than an hour later, Ruan Shi walked in with a smile on her face.
Seeing that she was sweating, Shu Yu told the two of them to sit down and have some water before setting off again.
Ruan said, "The Tan family recently acquired a new type of fabric, which they said came from the capital. It feels exceptionally comfortable to the touch, and it's cool to wear in this hot weather. However, it's a bit pricey, so I only bought one bolt. The shopkeeper originally said that he wouldn't sell one or two bolts, but he still gave us a low price to bring them back."
Shu Yu looked at her mother with amusement. Ruan Shi was usually a woman of few words, but whenever she talked about clothes and fabrics, she could talk at length and no one could get a word in edgewise.
Shu Yu was worried that she was tired, so she poured her another glass of water.
Before the water could even be handed out, a familiar person was seen standing at the entrance of the inn.
When Madam Ruan saw that she had stopped halfway through handing over the water, she was a little surprised. Following her gaze, she saw it too.
When the other person looked up and saw Shu Yu, they glared at her fiercely.
Ruan sneered, "She still has the nerve to glare at you? Does she want to cause you more trouble?"
As soon as she finished speaking, the other person left.
Shu Yu withdrew her gaze, somewhat puzzled. "Why does Princess Zhang look so haggard and disheveled? Her clothes are quite old, aren't they? And there's only one maidservant with her now?"
"She deserved it," Madam Ruan scoffed, her tone tinged with schadenfreude.
Shu Yu looked at her, "Does Mother know what happened?"
"I know, when you were in Changjin Prefecture two months ago, this matter was all over the news."
"Did something happen to her family?"
“Yes,” said Madam Ruan. “It should be said that her brother got into trouble. That shameless scoundrel who came to our house wanting to marry you. He and his sister didn’t get anything good from our visit and were even punished by Lord Xiang. It seems that the news has spread throughout the prefectural city. Her brother was always picky and unrealistic, looking down on everyone. After this incident, even fewer people are willing to marry him.”
"But I later heard that he got married. His wife was a girl from a poor family. Given the personalities of the Zhang siblings, they would have looked down on such a family, but the county magistrate's brother insisted on marrying her and seemed to really like her. When I first heard about it, I thought it was a pity for the girl to marry into such a family and suffer in the future. Who knew that the girl was so formidable."
At this point, Nguyen seemed somewhat emotional and disagreeing.
"Do you know why that girl married Zhang County Princess's younger brother? It's because she was pregnant, but the child was someone else's. She had an affair before the marriage and had no choice but to marry someone else. The reason she was chosen from the Zhang family was because the Zhang family was somewhat wealthy, and that Zhang man was impulsive and easy to manipulate. The Zhang family insisted on marrying her, but she devised a plan to seduce him."
Shu Yu, “…” It sounds like the other party is indeed very powerful.
