Shu Yu found it strange, "Why are you telling me all this?"
Xue Yun lowered her head, and after a moment, she smiled bitterly, "A few years ago, my father was ostracized, and my mother and I would be harassed when we went out to banquets. Once, I was almost pushed into the water, and it was Madam Xiang who helped me. It might have been just a small favor for her, but it was a great kindness to me. Later, the Xiao family had a problem, and fortunately, Madam Xiang wasn't implicated, but things were never the same again. I..."
She paused, seemingly somewhat embarrassed. "I am of lowly status and can't help her much. In fact, to make myself feel better, I sometimes even agree with what others say. Call me selfish or cowardly if you will, but I am still ungrateful. However, this time, I know someone is plotting against her, and it concerns her life. I can't just stand by and watch her get hurt. So I'd like to ask the county princess for help. Whether you speak to Madam Xiang or ask Young Master Meng to remind Lord Xiang, there's always a way to take precautions."
Actually, Xue Yun didn't come to find Shu Yu rashly. Wu Ling might not know this, but she did know something about Shu Yu.
Her father was a senior official in the Ministry of Works, and Lord Yao was a vice minister in the Ministry of Works, her father's superior. Lord Yao was an honest man. He had received the blueprints earlier and had talked to her father about them, saying that the blueprints were sent from Dong'an Prefecture and drawn by a craftsman from Lu.
And this road craftsman was the father of the Princess of Wen'an County.
Lord Yao said he met Lu Erbai in the southwest, and the two had a close relationship. As they talked, they naturally mentioned Lu Shuyu, the most promising daughter of the Lu family.
Xue Yun had a good relationship with her father and learned a lot about Shu Yu's life in exile from him. Coincidentally, Xiao Ruojun, who had helped her before, was also in Dong'an Prefecture while recuperating, so Xue Yun inevitably paid more attention to Shu Yu.
She came to find Shuyu after careful consideration.
Shu Yu fell silent after listening. She didn't know Xue Yun, and it was still necessary to investigate whether what she said was true or false.
If we take a conspiracy theory approach, we might suspect that she wanted to use them to deal with that Princess Jia Hui.
However, this is still a clue, and it's up to Xiang Weinan to decide whether it's true or false.
She nodded to Xue Yun, "I understand. Thank you for coming all this way to tell me."
"I'm glad you don't mind my abruptness, Princess. If I can help Madam Xiang, I'll feel more at ease." Xue Yun smiled. "Farewell."
She got off the carriage, bowed to Shu Yu, and then went back to her own carriage.
Shu Yu sat in the carriage for a while, and Ying Xi asked in a low voice, "Miss, shall we continue to go outside the city?"
"go."
The carriage restarted and headed straight out of the city.
This time, no one followed the carriage, but once they left the city, Shu Yu faced a dilemma.
There are many estates outside the capital, and although she has the addresses, they are not easy to find.
It was half an hour later when the carriage finally stopped outside the Xiao family's estate.
Shu Yu suspected that they might have to spend the night outside the city, and if they delayed any longer, the city gates would have to close before dark.
"Go up and knock on the door." Shu Yu got off the carriage and looked around the estate.
The estate is quite large, after all, it was bought during the heyday of the Xiao family, and it's worlds apart from her estate in Jiangyuan County.
Yingxi knocked for a moment, and the gate of the manor was opened.
However, the person who came out from inside surprised Ying Xi. "Lord Xiang?"
