Chapter 2275 Ying Xi hasn't figured it out yet.
Yingxi remarked with considerable emotion, "It's truly remarkable that the magistrate is experiencing both pain and joy at the same time."
With so many people, trouble is bound to happen, and Lord Xie fears that some bad guys might infiltrate the area. However, the sudden arrival of so many scholars in the small Jiangyuan County will surely boost its reputation and lead to economic development, which will be a significant asset to his political achievements.
Shu Yu thought that all of this should have been within Meng Yunzheng's expectations.
When he returned that evening, she specifically asked him about it, and he nodded in response, "After I returned from the capital, I talked to Lord Xie. He had intentionally strengthened the patrols and management in the city recently, so there shouldn't be any major problems."
Shu Yu nodded, then thought of Ying Xi's matter and asked curiously, "Do you know that Xia Yan has been buying food for Ying Xi?"
"Know."
Shu Yu suddenly sat up. "You know?"
“He’s someone close to me, so naturally he can’t hide his feelings from me. It’s perfectly normal for him to buy Yingxi her favorite things.
Shu Yu was bewildered, "But Ying Xi is also someone close to me, why didn't I notice for so long?"
Meng Yunzheng chuckled, then pulled her close and lay down again. "That's because Yingxi hasn't figured it out yet. Look at Xia Yan, he's been feeding her for so long, but there's still no progress. I feel ashamed."
Shu Yu thought of what Ying Xi had said during the day and her lips twitched in agreement, "She really hasn't figured it out yet. She still thinks that Xia Yan is doing this to spy on her."
Because he felt that Xia Yan had ill intentions, Ying Xi ate his food without any hesitation or politeness.
Poor Xia Yan had been feeding him for more than half a year, but not only had he made no progress, he had also earned the reputation of being a 'petty person'.
Thinking about this, Meng Yunzheng couldn't help but laugh.
Shu Yu slapped him, "He's your man, and you're still laughing? That's not fair."
"You've been by my side for so long and haven't learned the essence of it. I'm embarrassed to say it. What's wrong with Xiaoxiao?" Meng Yunzheng hugged her tighter. "Let's not get involved in this. Let them do what they want."
Shu Yu nodded, "I don't plan to get involved. Either Xia Yan will bring things to a head himself, or we'll wait until Ying Xi comes to his senses. If we get involved, it might backfire."
"Yes. But Yingdong's wife is pregnant, so I need to prepare a gift for her too."
Ying Dong is the Lu family's butler to Shu Yu. But to Meng Yunzheng, he is his childhood playmate and friend.
As a friend, Meng Yunzheng naturally wanted to offer his congratulations.
"I'll buy a gift box and leave it here with you another day. I'm going to the southwest and I don't know when I'll be back. If I don't make it in time for his child to be born, please take it to him for me."
Shu Yu's mood clearly soured whenever the topic of going to the southwest came up.
She sighed softly. It was so tragic that they had to separate so soon after getting married.
Because of this, Shu Yu was reluctant to refuse him at night, to the point that she almost couldn't get out of bed the next day.
She had to say it again: men who have tasted the forbidden fruit are truly terrifying!
Shu Yu took a good rest for a day. Originally, she was going to accompany Meng Yunzheng to meet the two teachers—the two of them finally showed up the day before school started.
After all, they were great scholars, and Shu Yu wanted to receive them together with Meng Yunzheng, partly out of curiosity and partly to show respect.
Now that she's in this state, she's afraid that going out will make her the center of attention, so she'd better not.
She should conserve her energy and wait for the start of school tomorrow.
