Chapter 1093 Staying Overnight at the Jing Family Residence
Shu Yu came out of the study, intending to say goodbye to Madam Chang.
But Madam Chang already knew from Lord Jing that Shu Yu was going to the Dali Temple with him the next day, so she immediately said, "Lord Lu, why don't you stay here for the night? I'll have the servants prepare a guest room. That way, it will be more convenient and natural for you and my husband to leave home early tomorrow morning."
Shu Yu thought about it and realized it made sense. She went back today and came back again early tomorrow morning, making several trips back and forth, which inevitably attracted some attention.
Moreover, she had just seen that Lord Jing was in too much of a hurry and hadn't had time to ask about many things.
When Lord Jing returns tonight, he might be able to ask a few more questions about the Gong family.
At the very least, she only knows that Meng Yunzheng is in Dali Temple prison, but what about Zhao Xi? Zhao Xi came with her, where is he now?
Thinking of this, Shu Yu did not refuse, but asked Ying Xi to go back to the inn and bring all the luggage and makeup supplies.
Yingxi left the Jing family. The old woman from the Yao family, who had been waiting outside the Jing family, saw her, but she only saw her alone. She did not see the real master, so she retreated and continued to wait.
But instead of Shu Yu coming out, Ying Xi returned.
Not only that, but the master and servant didn't come out even after dark, so it's estimated that they were going to stay at the Jing family's house tonight.
The old woman could only return to the Yao family to report. Upon hearing this, Madam Yao waved her hand, telling her to leave and not to wait any longer.
If the other party truly has something important to discuss, they will likely come knocking on your door.
However, what she didn't know was that Shu Yu had already received accurate information from Lord Jing, and now she was single-mindedly focused on seeing Meng Yunzheng as soon as possible, and had no plans to go to the Yao family for the time being.
She was waiting for Lord Jing to return while she was at the Jing family's house, but she didn't see him until dark.
Around the beginning of the Xu hour, a noise was heard coming from the front yard, which must have been Lord Jing returning.
But it was already too late, and Shu Yu couldn't go looking for him anymore.
So the next day, she got up early and started dressing. When Madam Chang came over, Shu Yu had already changed into her attendant's clothes and was having Ying Xi check her to see if anything was wrong.
Madam Chang was astonished. "Are you really Lu Xiangjun? Your skills are truly... divine. I've seen you do my cousin's makeup before, and I only admired your dexterity, how you amplified the best features of her face and figure. Now that I see it, I realize I've seen too little of you."
Shu Yu smiled, her voice still clear and crisp, "Madam Jing, please don't tease me. If you keep praising me like this, I'll get embarrassed."
Madam Chang disagreed, "I wasn't making fun of you. When I first walked in, I almost thought some audacious servant had dared to barge into your room. My heart was pounding in my chest. And the makeup on your face, and the scar next to your ear, it looks so real."
Her fingers were itching to reach out and touch it to see if it was real. If it weren't for her years of self-cultivation that had restrained her, Shu Yu would probably have to redo her makeup by now.
"With your skills, it's like you've disguised yourself. Even if you open a shop in the capital in the future, you won't have to worry about not having business."
Shu Yu smiled but didn't mention that the Yiren Pavilion shop had been handed over to her older sister for management.
She changed the subject, asking if there was anything else that was inappropriate about Chang's work.
