Chapter 2177 Xiang Weinan's Unexplained Outburst
Shu Yu silently prayed for the Grand Princess and her daughter, and only after she knew that the matter was almost settled did she inquire about Xiang Weinan's itinerary.
Xiao Ruojun thought she had only come to chat with her today, but she didn't expect her to have something to ask her husband.
“He went out, but I’m pregnant now, so he’ll come back to check on me at noon these next two days.”
Noon? That's about right.
Sure enough, when Madam Xiang called the two of them to dinner, Xiang Weinan also hurriedly returned home.
He wasn't surprised to see Shu Yu there. "You're here to chat with Ruojun? Perfect, spend more time with her if you have time."
He seemed very busy and didn't even eat at home. He glanced at Xiao Ruojun twice, saw that she was doing well, and then turned to leave.
Xiao Ruojun quickly pulled the person back, "Wait, Ayu needs to talk to you."
Xiang Weinan was stunned. "Looking for me?"
Seeing that he really didn't have much time to spare, Shu Yu didn't dawdle and clearly stated the purpose of her visit: "You know I'm going to open a shop in the capital, and I'd like to ask you to help me find a suitable manager."
Xiang Weinan's expression turned somewhat strange for a moment. "Why did you think of asking me to help you find it?"
Shu Yu blinked. "A-Yun said you're a good match."
Upon hearing that this was Meng Yunzheng's idea, Xiang Weinan's face suddenly darkened as if he had just thought of something.
After a moment, he sneered, "I knew it. He's trying to collect a debt from me indirectly. Fine, fine, you want the shopkeeper, right? I'll give it to you. I'll bring it over tomorrow."
After saying that, he snorted and stormed off.
The remaining few people looked at each other, completely bewildered.
Shu Yu asked hesitantly, "Did I... say something I shouldn't have?"
Xiao Ruojun shook her head blankly. Her husband was usually very composed, and it was rare for his expression to change so quickly.
Although Madam Xiang didn't understand either, she still said, "Don't worry about him. He's been so busy these past few days, and knowing that Ruojun is pregnant has made him both happy and confused. He's acting strangely. I'll find a doctor to take a look at him later."
Xiang Weinan looked as if he had lost his mind.
Shu Yu, "..."
But what did Xiang Weinan mean by "collecting debts"? Does he still owe A-Yun a debt?
Shu Yu touched his chin. Could this be a large sum of money?
Since Xiang Weinan had agreed, even though he seemed a bit off, his face was pale, and his attitude was unfriendly, Shu Yu was still relieved.
She stayed with Xiao Ruojun at the Xiang family's house for a while longer, and when she saw that Xiao Ruojun started yawning soon after, just as Granny Gu had said, she got up to say goodbye and go home.
The next day was the end of the third exam. This time, Shu Yu arrived at the entrance of the examination hall early, just after noon.
Many others shared her thoughts, so the area outside the examination hall quickly became packed with people.
Perhaps because she arrived early, Shu Yu also saw two candidates being carried out.
People nearby were whispering among themselves, "It's the last day, how could something like this still happen?"
"Yes, it looks like the gong will be sounded soon, just hang in there a little longer."
"What a pity."
Everyone shook their heads and sighed, and Shu Yu was also quite moved.
Many people were worried upon seeing this, fearing that their loved ones might not be able to hold on until the very end. The closer the time approached, the more anxious they became.
Finally, the gong sounded, and the gates of the examination hall slowly opened before everyone. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and then surged forward.
