Fully Leveled Bigshot Becomes A Farmgirl

Chapter 1091: Chapter 1091 Jing Family, Madam Chang

Shu Yu was aware, the moment she first saw Madam Chang, that this was a woman of great foresight.

Moreover, she was highly regarded by Lord Jing.

If not, Lord Jing would not have taken her along to Dongan Province, nor would he have arranged a private meeting between them.

The fact that Madam Chang met with her clearly indicated that Lord Jing had not kept many secrets from her; the couple seemed to work side by side.

Madam Chang was not just an exemplary wife confined to the back court.

After Jing Zhishan left, Madam Chang began to reminisce with Shu Yu.

She inquired about Shu Yu’s situation in Jiangyuan County, asked about her cousin Madam Deng’s current condition, and even about her experiences in Linzhang Prefecture.

The two conversed at length, yet Madam Chang never questioned why she had come to the capital.

Thus, Shu Yu chatted leisurely with her, though she was eager to know about the Gong family’s matters. Since she was unsure of how much Madam Chang knew about the inside story, she wouldn’t mention Meng Yunzheng’s lineage casually.

After all, she was not that well acquainted with Madam Chang.

Madam Chang was also a very measured person. She guessed that Shu Yu had business with Lord Jing and mentioned in passing, “My husband is on duty at the central judicial office. Recently, it has been busy there, but he will return once this afternoon.”

Thus, Shu Yu could only wait peacefully.

The lunch was prepared by Jing Zhishan, and it was evident that at her age, Madam Chang was already grooming her to become the head Madam of the household.

Shu Yu couldn’t help but marvel that girls at the age of twelve or thirteen were already so capable.

In the afternoon, the girl started reviewing the account books and arranging for the servants to do work, seemingly very busy.

As Shu Yu wandered around the Jing household, apart from seeing the eldest daughter, she also met the second young lady from a concubine, the legitimate Eldest Young Master, and the five-year-old young son by Madam Chang’s own.

Regardless of whether they were legitimate or from concubines, they all showed great respect to Madam Chang.

The vast back court of the Jing family was managed by Madam Chang with harmony and strength, as tight as an iron barrel.

Shu Yu couldn’t help but admire her; no wonder after her last visit to Jiangyuan County, Madam Deng and Jiang Yi firmly decided to seize the Jiang family’s property.

At 1 p.m to 3 p.m, Lord Jing indeed returned.

He was very surprised to see Shu Yu, but then suddenly understood and invited her to follow him to the study.

At that moment, Jing Zhishan was also present, and upon seeing this, slightly widened her eyes at their leaving figures, then turned to Madam Chang, “Mother, this…”

Madam Chang smiled, “Lady Lu originally came to find your father. She is the one who presented the Heating Pack and was later granted the title of Village Chief by the emperor.”

Jing Zhishan abruptly turned her head, looking again at that receding figure, and suddenly felt an elevated impression of the other person.

Madam Chang laughed, “Initially, did you assume she was obscure and from a small place, and thought she needed something from our family?”

Jing Zhishan hung her head low in shame, “I was narrow-minded.”

“You are still young, take your time. See more, and you’ll learn to read people.”

Jing Zhishan thought for a moment and understood it all. If Lady Lu Xiang really wanted to attach herself to their family, she wouldn’t speak so candidly and straightforwardly with Madam, she would inevitably show some humility.

She looked at Shu Yu once more, but by this time, Shu Yu had already followed Lord Jing into the study.

Lord Jing poured her a cup of tea, “Lady Lu Xiang traveled a great distance to the capital mainly for the matter concerning Young Master Gong, correct?”

Young Master Gong? Oh right, Meng Yunzheng is surnamed Gong here.

However, when Lord Jing mentioned Meng Yunzheng, his expression was rather subtle.
