Chapter 1216: Chapter 1216: That Man’s Name Is Tang Wenqian

The Xiao family cooperatively asked, “Oh? Who is Nanny Gu referring to?”

“This person is from the same village as Monarch Lu Xiang, it’s Tang Wenqian, the Scholarly Man Tang.” Nanny Gu said with a wide smile.

Shu Yu, “…” Tang, Tang Wenqian? That was something she hadn’t expected.

She had only seen Tang Wenqian once since returning from the southwest. Back then, due to the dispute between Madam Tang and Madam Liang, the Lu family learned about her exile, and Tang Wenqian felt very guilty.

Later, he wrote her an apology letter, and after she returned, he formally apologized once more.

Shu Yu didn’t really blame him for it, but indeed, there wasn’t much friendship between them beyond that.

Only occasionally had she heard Madam Liang complain sourly that the exile incident instead drew the county magistrate’s attention to Tang Wenqian’s scholarship, allowing him to help out at the county office and gain great favor.

Shu Yu, however, knew that his future was far more promising than that. With Xiang Weinan as a guide, once the Fifth Prince ascended the throne, it wouldn’t be so difficult for a peasant’s son like Tang Wenqian to climb up the ranks.

But none of this concerned her; Shu Yu only heard about the affairs of the imperial court in passing and didn’t think much of it.

Who would have thought that the Xiao family and Nanny Gu would actually want to match her with Tang Wenqian.

Shu Yu found it somewhat amusing and remained silent, letting them carry on like a double act, waiting for them to finish before speaking.

After all, no matter what she said, the Xiao family acted as if they couldn’t hear her.

Yet, not refuting them made the Xiao family and Nanny Gu think there was hope.

Nanny Gu smiled and said, “This Mr. Tang is young and promising, already having passed the scholarly examination at such a young age. Rarely, his character is also commendable, praised by our Lord personally. More importantly, he is well-acquainted with Monarch Lu Xiang, and the elders in the Lu family are surely very aware of his integrity.”

The Xiao family clapped their hands, “Indeed, I have met Mr. Tang twice. Each time he was polite and well-mannered, and his looks are also decent. Moreover, he is now a scholar. Not only in Jiangyuan County, but even in the capital, it’s rare for sons of aristocratic families taught by great scholars to surpass him. It seems Mr. Tang’s future prospects are undoubtedly good.”

Hmm, Shu Yu agreed with that point.

But she still didn’t speak, rendering Nanny Gu and the Xiao family a bit unsure.

Nanny Gu asked, “Monarch Lu Xiang, what do you think? If possible, I could sound out the Tang family’s intentions.”

Actually, there was no need, as a few days ago, Nanny Gu encountered Madam Tang, who had come to the county office to visit her son, and inquired about her thoughts back then.

Madam Tang’s feelings were actually quite complicated. Before, she had looked down on the Lu family and thought the second daughter Erya was too fierce, unfit to be a virtuous wife and mother; she had despised her.

Later, knowing that she was exiled, she was even more relieved. However, because of her, the entire Lu family fled to the southwest, which left her feeling somewhat guilty, and this relief didn’t last long.

Immediately, Lu Shuyu returned, and returned as a Monarch.

At that time, Madam Tang was somewhat moved—after all, she was a Monarch, a noble lady whom no one in Jiangyuan County could compare with.

But she kept these feelings to herself until… the housewarming banquet day.

Madam Tang learned that Shu Yu was not only a Monarch but also had an extremely powerful background.

Clueless about the high-ranking officials in the capital, she asked Tang Wenqian. After his explanation, Madam Tang was stunned.

She thought that if she could establish a connection with Lord Qi, wouldn’t her son’s future be bright?
