Chapter 1366 Reunion with the Xiao Family
Are you from out of town?
Shu Yu put down the sickle with a suspicious look on her face, took a towel, wet it, wiped her sweat, and then walked along the ridge towards the main road.
The other party came to the manor; could it be to discuss business?
Thinking of this, Shu Yu felt a surge of energy.
She walked to the side of the road and indeed saw a carriage parked there.
However, the carriage looked dusty and unremarkable, quite different from what she had imagined it would be for business negotiations.
Shu Yu took a few steps forward, and a maid standing by the carriage saw her, turned her head and said something to the carriage.
The next moment, the carriage curtain was lifted, revealing a face that was both unfamiliar and familiar.
Shu Yu froze on the spot, staring blankly at the Xiao family member inside the carriage.
That's right, it's Xiao Shi. Although she's lost a lot of weight and her cheeks are sunken, she won't mistake her.
Xiao was also stunned, staring at the girl dressed as a peasant girl in front of her, opening her mouth but not coming back to her senses for a long time.
She asked uncertainly, "Lu Xiangjun?"
Shu Yu came to her senses and then sighed heavily in her heart.
Okay, now she understands what Qi Lie wanted her to prepare in his letter.
Damn it... The love letter contained so much information about the Xiao family, was it just a hint to her?
I'm sorry, she's just too slow to understand.
Shu Yu cursed Qi Lie and the new emperor in her heart for their inhumanity, no, she added Xiang Weinan to the list.
A smile had already appeared on her face as she quickly walked to the carriage. "Madam Xiang? What are you doing here?"
Xiao smiled wryly and got off the carriage.
"Lu Xiangjun, let's find a place to talk."
“Okay, let’s talk at the estate.”
Shu Yu led the way and soon brought Xiao Shi into the manor.
She asked Madam Xiao to sit down first, then stood in the courtyard, patted her clothes a few times, washed her face, tidied herself up a bit, and then went into the main room.
Yingxi poured them tea, and Shuyu breathed a sigh of relief before turning to look at Madam Xiao.
What Qi Lie wrote in his letter was not an exaggeration. When he last saw Xiao Shi at the end of last year, she looked like she had shed a layer of skin.
Not only that, her spirit and energy are completely different from before. As the apple of the eye of the Xiao family, the wife of the heir of the Earl's Mansion, and the wife of the magistrate of Jiangyuan County, the former Xiao Shi was so spirited that few could compare to her.
Now, when facing Shu Yu, all I can do is smile bitterly, and I look so frail that I could be blown away by a gust of wind.
Xiao dismissed all her servants, and Shu Yu, seeing this, also instructed Ying Xi to stand guard outside.
"Madam, you..."
"Don't call me Madam anymore. Your fiancé and my husband are good friends. If you'd like, call me Sister-in-law."
Shu Yu hesitated for a moment, then slowly nodded. "Okay, how did you get here, sister-in-law? You..." For a moment, she didn't know where to begin.
Xiao Shi steadied herself and said with a smile, "I heard from my husband that you have received the letter and know about what happened to me."
Shu Yu nodded. "The letter did mention some things, but it didn't say that you would come to Jiangyuan County. So I was quite surprised to see you. How... did you escape from the Xiao family?"
Madam Xiao sighed, "Back then, the Second Prince faked his death to escape, and now I'm just using his old methods."
"Feigned death?" Shu Yu paused, putting down the teacup in her hand.
"yes."
