Chapter 1479 The Old Lady's Strange Behavior
Seeing her looking worried, Meng Yunzheng couldn't help but chuckle and pat her head. "Alright, don't worry. The Second Prince's target is the Emperor. In their eyes, we're just small fry, not enough for them to take us seriously enough to deal with us immediately. In a way, we're still operating in the shadows."
At the very least, they didn't know that Meng Yunzheng had always been one of the current emperor's men, nor did they know that Xiang Weinan had secretly pledged allegiance to him long ago.
They still have some trump cards up their sleeve.
Shu Yu nodded, "Alright, for now we can only wait for news. I'll head back now."
"good."
Meng Yunzheng saw her off at the door. Just then, the goods on the carriage over there had been unloaded, and Ying Xi was driving over.
After watching them leave, Meng Yunzheng returned to the courtyard and wrote another letter to Xiang Weinan.
Shu Yu and the others then returned to Lu's home on Fenghuai Street.
Just as I arrived at my doorstep, I ran into an elderly woman who was also returning home from outings.
Shu Yu asked in surprise, "Where did Grandma go?"
The old lady looked rather listless. As Hua Xian helped her through the door, she waved her hand and said, "I went back to Shangshi Village."
Seeing that she didn't seem to want to talk, Shu Yu didn't ask any more questions and quickly went to the other side to help her into the room.
In the past, when the old lady saw two people supporting her on either side, she would always say that she was still strong and didn't need help. But today, she didn't say anything, and just walked forward in a daze.
Shu Yu became even more worried upon seeing this.
After returning to the courtyard, the old lady didn't come out again, and even ate dinner inside the house.
Moreover, he eats very little, and his usual good appetite is nowhere to be seen.
Shu Yu was very worried. After the old lady went to the inner room to rest, she quickly called Hua Xian out and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong with my grandma? Why did she go back to Shangshi Village? Was she bullied?"
Hua Xian quickly shook her head, "No, the old lady is just in a bad mood."
According to Hua Xian, yesterday afternoon, someone from Shangshi Village came to deliver a message saying that an old lady from the Liu family had passed away, and asked if the old lady would like to go back to see her off.
The old lady was stunned when she heard the news.
This morning, she had Hua Xian accompany her back to Shangshi Village.
The funeral for the Liu family lasted all day, and the old lady of the Liu family had already been sent up the mountain.
But the old lady still seemed unable to come to her senses. Sometimes, when she saw the younger generation of the Liu family crying, her eyes would also turn red, and she couldn't bring herself to say the words of comfort she wanted to offer.
It was getting late, and the old lady had planned to stay overnight at Lu Dasong's house.
However, the Liu family and the Lu family lived quite close to each other. Although the old lady of the Liu family had already been buried, there was still banging and knocking on the other side, and the wailing of relatives could be heard from time to time.
The old lady's mood inevitably soured upon hearing this.
Hua Xian was worried that the old lady's health wouldn't be able to handle this, so she discussed it with Lu Dasong, suggesting that they come back. The old lady would feel a little better away from that kind of atmosphere.
Lu Dasong naturally agreed, so Hua Xian took the old lady and had the driver take her back.
Lu Dasong originally planned to deliver it himself, but the Liu family still had a lot of things to do, so the old lady asked him to stay and help.
Upon hearing this, Shu Yu frowned. "Is this old lady from the Liu family on good terms with Grandma?"
Hua Xian didn't know the answer to that.
Madam Ruan nodded, "They did have a good relationship originally. She and your grandmother married into Shangshi Village in the same year and were the same age. Plus, their families lived close by, so they did everything together."
