Filial piety?
Yingxi swallowed hard as he looked at his young mistress's somewhat wicked smile.
Miss, are you serious? Your filial son might not be able to handle it.
Despite his thoughts, Yingxi was very excited and began to prepare with great enthusiasm.
Shu Yu told the others about her trip to Ruanjia Village that very evening.
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then the old lady's expression became very strange, much like when Ying Xi first heard it. She glanced at Ruan Shi and asked in a low voice, "Are you really going there to fulfill your filial duty?"
Shu Yu nodded affirmatively, "Of course."
Everyone, "..."
The old lady began to feel sorry for those people from Ruanjia Village. She thought, "They're living perfectly well. The Lu family hasn't even bothered to bring up what happened back then. Why do they still insist on asking for trouble? What's wrong with their brains?"
But no one said much about what Shu Yu had decided.
When Ruan returned to her room, she glanced back at Shuyu a few times, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.
The next day, Shu Yu took Ying Xi to the street to buy some incense and paper money. Her behavior was very open and honest, and she did not try to hide anything.
But those who saw it were surprised.
Buying something like this out of the ordinary, not during a holiday, must mean someone close to you has passed away.
Given Shu Yu's status as the county princess, people naturally inquired about her. Upon inquiring, they discovered that the Lu family members were all in good health, and the only possible person was actually Granny Ruan.
Everyone immediately showered Shu Yu with praise. Even though Granny Ruan had treated her so badly, she still didn't hold a grudge. Truly worthy of being the Princess of Wen'an County, her magnanimity is truly remarkable.
Shu Yu's expression was extremely complicated when she heard this. Why did the people of both Jiangyuan County and Chenggu County always elevate her character to such a high level?
Shu Yu didn't buy much incense, candles, or paper money, and since it was still early, she planned to go after noon.
Unexpectedly, the people of Ruanjia Village couldn't wait any longer. The cousin who had come the day before yesterday used the excuse of going to the city to buy things to come to Liufang Lane to find Ruan Shi and ask her if she had made up her mind and whether she would go to send her aunt off on her final journey.
Ruan said it would pass, so her cousin was relieved and went home.
However, Nguyen never said who went there.
Just after noon, Yingxi hitched up the carriage, and the two packed their things and prepared to set off.
Just as she reached the door, she saw a messenger from the post station rushing over, his face full of surprise. When he saw Shu Yu from ten meters away, he shouted, "Princess, Princess, good news! Young Master Meng has passed the provincial examination and is the top scholar! Here is your letter."
Shu Yu was taken aback, and the pedestrians nearby suddenly stopped in their tracks and turned to look.
The results of the provincial examination in Dong'an Prefecture came out a few days ago, and Jiangyuan County did not disappoint this time, producing two successful candidates. It caused quite a stir in the county town, and everyone talked about it for a long time. Even the county magistrate sent a congratulatory gift.
However, their rankings were not high. One of the successful candidates in the imperial examinations had to take the exams many times and was already over fifty years old before finally passing.
What did they just hear? The top scholar in the imperial examination? The county princess's fiancé, Young Master Meng, actually became the top scholar in the imperial examination?
I had heard before that the county magistrate’s future husband was an extremely learned man who passed the imperial examination with top honors on his first attempt. Many people regretted that his household registration was not here.
He's even top of the provincial examination now; his future is limitless!
