Chapter 2167 Do you know that Miss Xue?
Xiang Weinan was momentarily stunned when he saw Ying Xi and Shu Yu behind her.
He quickly realized what was going on and asked with a smile, "You've come to see Ruojun?"
Xiang Weinan knew that Shu Yu had come to the capital, but he hadn't seen her yet. He had been very busy lately and hadn't even visited the small courtyard in the south of the city. He never expected to see her here.
Ruojun? Shu Yu raised her eyebrows. They're calling each other quite affectionately now.
Shu Yu walked over and asked, "Why is Lord Xiang here?"
"I just happened to be outside the city on some business and wanted to drop off some things for Ruojun. I'm about to leave now. Ruojun is home. I was just talking to her about you. She said she'll be back in the city in a couple of days to catch up with you. She'll be so happy to see you here. Come on in."
He stepped aside to let Shu Yu in, then called out loudly into the room.
He then said to Shu Yu, "I have something to do, so I'll be leaving now."
"Hey, wait a minute, I'm not only here to see my sister-in-law, I also wanted to see you. There's something I'd like to talk to you about."
Xiang Weinan was somewhat surprised, and then noticed that Shu Yu seemed to have a hint of anxiety on her face.
Moreover, unless there is an urgent matter, one would not leave the city at this time.
Xiang Weinan nodded and stepped back through the gate.
Just then, Xiao Ruojun ran out and saw Shu Yu. Her face lit up with joy. "Ayu, you're here! Come in quickly!"
She pulled Shu Yu into the house, saying as they walked, "Why did you come at this hour? I told you I'd come to see you in a couple of days. Young Master Meng must have entered the examination hall by now. I've been living on this estate for so long that I've lost track of time; I almost forgot that the imperial examinations have already begun."
She genuinely couldn't remember the days; living on this estate was like being completely isolated from the world. She spent her days embroidering, gardening, and occasionally reading and practicing calligraphy; the days flew by.
If Xiang Weinan hadn't come over, she wouldn't have realized that the last time the two of them met was ten days ago.
Xiao Ruojun was very happy to see Shu Yu and kept asking her a lot of questions.
Shu Yu sighed helplessly, "I'll answer these questions later. I came here today because there's something I need to tell you."
Xiao Ruojun was taken aback, and then realized that Xiang Weinan, who was about to leave, had actually returned.
Shu Yu gave Xiang Weinan a wink, and the latter told everyone in the main room to leave first. After the area was cleared, Shu Yu told the two of them what she had heard at the rouge shop that day.
She looked at Xiao Ruojun as she spoke, "I don't know if what that Miss Xue Yun said is true or false. Sister-in-law, do you know this Miss Xue?"
Xiao Ruojun lowered her eyes and thought for a moment before slowly and hesitantly speaking, "I seem to have some recollection. A few years ago, I think I was celebrating an old lady's birthday. At that time, a young lady was being bullied, and I couldn't stand it, so I spoke up and said a few words. Afterwards, the young lady's mother brought her over to thank me, but I didn't pay much attention to it and haven't followed up on it since."
Shu Yu nodded. Xiao Ruojun had indeed become somewhat arrogant due to the influence of the Xiao family, but she wasn't a bad person at heart.
Aside from his unethical and disrespectful practice of having the late Emperor bestow a marriage upon the former Consort Xiao, he never actually harmed anyone.
Shu Yu then looked at Xiang Weinan, "Is Lord Xiang familiar with this Princess Jia Hui?"
Xiang Weinan's brows were almost knotted together. Hearing that someone wanted to harm Xiao Ruojun, especially because of him, his expression remained very unpleasant.
