Chapter 1983 Now She's a County Princess
Chengxian laughed heartily, "I've only been here for two days, just taking care of some business. I didn't expect to run into you here."
Then, as if he had just remembered something, he suddenly asked in surprise, "I remember your hometown is in Dong'an Prefecture, right? How come you're here too?"
My fiancé's family lives here.
"So that's how it is. You're engaged?" He then calculated that she was already seventeen this year, and it would be strange if she wasn't engaged. Logically speaking, she should be married by now. He laughed, "Then I must congratulate you first. Time flies. It's been several years since you left the Southwest. You've changed a lot."
Back then, Shu Yu was in exile, so while she might not have been frail, she was at least thin and slender. However, she possessed a good spirit and energy, giving her a refined air.
Now, however, he has a rosy complexion and seems to have grown taller, making him stand out even more.
Shu Yu and Cheng Xian exchanged pleasantries and chatted animatedly.
The others were upset. Leaving aside Xia Yan and Ying Xi, Cheng Wenbao and Cheng Jiatong both looked grim. Especially Cheng Jiatong; she had been hoping Cheng Xian would help her get revenge, but it turned out he knew that bitch and seemed to be on good terms with her?
And this woman admitted that she and Gan Rui were actually engaged?
Cheng Jiatong couldn't help but shudder. She wanted revenge, but she couldn't count on Cheng Xian, her brother...
Cheng Jiatong couldn't help but look at Cheng Wenbao, who sensed his sister's resentment and gave her a look that said, "Take it easy."
Regardless, we need to figure out the relationship between Chengxian and this girl first.
He forced a smile, took a deep breath, and stepped forward, saying, "Brother Cheng, this young lady is..."
Cheng Xian seemed to only then remember that there were still quite a few people around him. He came back to his senses and said, "Oh, I forgot to introduce you. This is Lu Xiangjun, and she..."
Shu Yu coughed lightly and whispered a reminder, "She's already a county princess."
Cheng Xian was taken aback, "County Princess?"
"Yes, she was just conferred the title of Princess Wen'an during the Chinese New Year."
Cheng Xian's eyes widened. In those days, news traveled slowly, and he had only been here for two days. How could he know that Shu Yu had already gone from being a village lady to a county princess? It was truly unexpected.
His face was full of disbelief. "You... it's only been two or three years, how did you become a county princess? Congratulations!"
Cheng Xian thought Shu Yu was a miracle. From an unloved adopted daughter to a prisoner exiled to the southwest, then to being granted the title of Lady of the Township by the late emperor for presenting a fever pack, and now being granted the title of County Princess by the current emperor. This experience was truly unique. She was only seventeen years old. Whose life was as exciting as hers?
She got promoted faster than most people.
He was shocked, and the Cheng siblings beside him were even more incredulous.
She, she's the Princess of Wen'an County? The very famous princess recently?
Unlike Cheng Xian, who had only been there for two days, the Cheng siblings were very familiar with the name of this county magistrate. They had never met her in person, but they were well-known for what she had done. In particular, the overwhelming amount of advertising she used when she opened her shop was something everyone knew about.
Cheng Wenbao frowned and glared at his sister. Of all people to offend, why did she have to offend the powerful Princess Wen'an?
Cheng Jiatong was also confused. Wasn't it said that the person Gan Rui was betrothed to was just a country bumpkin from a small county? How could she possibly be a county princess?
Wait, something's not right.
