Chapter 1438 Master Miao's Matter is Over
Shu Yu drank a cup before asking about her health.
Madam Xiao smiled and said, "Dr. Zhao has come three more times. He just took my pulse a couple of days ago and said that I'm recovering very well. After taking the medicine a few more times, the remaining toxins will be almost gone. Look at me, I've gained quite a bit of weight."
She has indeed gained some weight, but she is still thinner than before.
He's in pretty good spirits, and the fear he felt at the beginning is gone from his gestures.
"Is this place not bad?"
“Very good, Aunt Zheng and the others have taken good care of me, Ayu, thank you.”
Shu Yu took another sip of tea, seemingly enjoying it. "No need to be so polite. I'm happy to see you getting better. If anything comes up later, just let me know."
To everyone's surprise, as soon as she finished speaking, Madam Xiao actually showed a hesitant expression.
Shu Yu paused, then placed the teacup on the table. "What's wrong?"
Madam Xiao pursed her lips, and hesitantly asked, "I wanted to ask if you've received any letters from the capital?"
Shu Yu suddenly realized, "You want to ask about your parents, right?"
Madam Xiao nodded hurriedly. She was relieved that everything was alright, but her parents were still imprisoned. She had already witnessed the ruthlessness of the Xiao family and was terrified that her parents might suffer the same fate.
"I haven't received any news from the capital," Shu Yu said regretfully, then comforted her, "After all, sending messages carries certain risks. The fact that Lord Xiang hasn't taken any action is to protect you as much as possible. Actually, no news is good news. If something had really happened to your parents, Lord Xiang would have told you eventually. The fact that everything is calm now means they are all well."
After thinking about it, Xiao realized that was indeed the case.
"You're right, I was too anxious."
After seeing Shu Yu, Madam Xiao felt inexplicably at ease, and then she asked about Meng Yunzheng's exam.
"A lot of people came to the Taoist temple recently, mostly family members of the candidates. Some passed the exam and came to give thanks, while others who didn't pass came to burn incense and pray for success next year. I was in a daze when I was at the Xiao family's house, and I didn't even remember the days. Seeing them come to the Taoist temple reminded me that Young Master Meng was also a candidate this year. I wonder how he did?"
Shu Yu smiled, her little expression full of pride, "Little Three Scholars."
Xiao was overjoyed. "Really? That's wonderful, it's a very happy occasion!"
When Xiang Weinan took the imperial examination, his results were quite impressive.
The two clearly had something in common, and even though it wasn't their exam, they could chat about it for ages.
They didn't stop until noon, still feeling unsatisfied.
After having a meal at the Xiao family's place, Shu Yu planned to go down the mountain and return to the prefectural city.
Upon arriving at the main hall, the Taoist nun Qiu was interpreting fortune sticks for someone. When she saw her, she nodded to her and asked her to wait a moment.
Shu Yu stood outside for a while, and soon after, the Taoist nun Qiu came out.
"Has everything been discussed and agreed upon regarding Master Miao?"
The nun Qiu nodded. "It's already agreed. Benefactor Miao has chosen a new date and wants to prepare everything before holding another ceremony here, and then move the eternal lamp to the ancestral master's seat."
Shu Yu guessed it; given how much Master Miao valued his sister, he certainly wouldn't have handled it hastily.
She had already fulfilled the conditions she had negotiated with Master Miao, and she didn't plan to interfere any further. She just needed to wait a year for him to resell the manor on the black market to Meng Yunzheng.
