Some people in Ruanjia Village, upon hearing this, gradually came to their senses.
This isn't speaking to Granny Ruan at all; it's clearly meant to provoke her. Does the county princess already know that Granny Ruan gets so angry and starts cursing every time she hears good news from the Lu family?
The doctors all said that Granny Ruan was so angry that she fell ill and died. Now that she's dead, she's still being forced to listen to the Lu family's good life.
Especially the eldest daughter whom Granny Ruan disliked the most, now lives the life of a rich lady, with maids to serve her, excellent food and lodging, and can do whatever she wants. Her children are also successful and can even go to the capital.
That's not all. When I get back from the capital, I'll have to go to Granny Ruan's grave to annoy her again.
The villagers of Ruanjia Village were worried that Granny Ruan would be so angry that she would jump out from underground.
Regardless of what others thought, Shu Yu still had a lot to say. "By the way, speaking of going to the capital, there really is an opportunity right now. We can set off at the beginning of next year. Grandmother, do you know why? Because my fiancé has passed the provincial examination with top honors and will be going to the capital to take the imperial examination at the beginning of next year. We can go with him."
The villagers of Ruanjia Village were stunned. A top scholar...?
The Lady of Lu's fiancé, that Young Master Meng, not only achieved the top honors in the preliminary three examinations, but now he's even ranked first in the provincial examination!
If things continue to go smoothly, and I can get first place in both the provincial and palace examinations, wouldn't that mean I'll achieve the highest honors in all six examinations and be remembered in history?
Everyone gasped in astonishment; the Lu family's life was truly getting better and better.
They couldn't help but look at Shu Yu, their eyes filled with a mixture of envy and jealousy.
Shu Yu had already taken out a letter from her sleeve. “It’s quite a coincidence that I just found out about this news. I had already asked Ying Xi to prepare the carriage and get ready to leave when the messenger from the post station came over and told me about A-Yun’s success in the imperial examination. It seems that even the heavens knew I was going to visit my grandmother, so they sent the news to me in time so that I could share it with her and you could leave in peace.”
"Grandmother, aren't you happy to hear that your future grandson-in-law is so promising? You don't need to worry that he will treat me badly in the future. A-Yun said that after he passes the imperial examination next year, he will ask the Emperor to grant us a marriage. From then on, he will only have me as his wife and will never look at any other woman again. Aren't you very satisfied with this grandson-in-law?"
Shu Yu's ability to lie through his teeth was already masterful, but the Ruan brothers beside him looked on with distorted and ferocious expressions.
Yingxi glanced at them and handed them the water pouch in her hand. "Miss, have some water and tell me slowly."
Shu Yu took it and drank two sips.
The others' gazes immediately fell on the water bag, their expressions strange.
Yingxi explained, "My grandmother was worried that the young lady was too heartbroken and that talking too much would damage her voice, so she specially asked her son-in-law to prepare some herbal tea for her."
Yes, that's the reason. It's definitely not because they were afraid the tea the Ruan family would serve would have been spat on.
After Ying Xi finished speaking, he handed the water pouch forward. It did indeed have a faint medicinal fragrance inside, and it smelled quite refreshing.
Shu Yu wiped her mouth and continued, "Yes, this is tea that my grandmother prepared for me. She loved me the most. My grandmother is also getting old now, but since you left us so suddenly, I will take extra care of her health from now on and make sure she lives to be a hundred years old."
