The Ace Bigshot Becomes A Farmgirl

Chapter 1148: Chapter 1148: Two Middle-Aged Men

Yao Hong felt that all her brother’s troubles were caused by Wang Jiayi.

If it weren’t for her being caught red-handed and her maid confessing against her brother, how would Yao An have faced the family punishment? Especially since Yao An himself was seriously injured, yet Wang Jiayi escaped unscathed.

If she hadn’t stirred up such a commotion, even if her brother’s poisoning attempt had failed, at least it wouldn’t have been discovered.

Now, not only was he beaten, but he was also kicked out of the Yao family. This whole month they spent in the capital was all for nothing.

Besides, Wang Jiayi doesn’t even like her brother, so it’s only natural that Yao Hong wouldn’t be pleasant towards her.

It’s expected that once Yao An wakes up and Yao Hong has her hands free, Wang Jiayi will have a very tough time ahead.

After sending off the three of them including Yao An, the matter was considered settled.

Shu Yu planned to take her leave, but Madam Yao, still feeling uneasy, thought it over and eventually decided to give her many things. She even directly opened the storeroom and let her pick anything she wanted, telling her to choose more.

The Yao family had not been back in the capital for even a year, but the storeroom was nevertheless well-stocked.

Although the Yao family generally did not accept gifts from strangers or acquaintances they were not familiar with, when they regained their official position, many colleagues or superiors and old friends sent congratulatory gifts.

Later, when they were promoted, another wave of gifts came in.

Adding the emperor’s rewards and compensations, the Yao family’s storeroom indeed had quite a lot of good things piling up.

There was no way Shu Yu could truly go through the Yao family’s storeroom for stuff, so in the end, it was Madam Yao herself who took out items, filling up most of the carriage.

Part of it was for Shu Yu, and some of it was for Daya.

She had previously heard from Shu Yu that Daya was getting married this year. Compared to Shu Yu, they had actually interacted more with Daya, and naturally, their feelings were closer.

Especially upon knowing that the other party was Doctor Zhao, the Yao family was very happy for her.

They couldn’t possibly travel all the way to Dongan Province to attend the wedding, but the wedding gifts had to be prepared. Madam Yao had already arranged them yesterday.

Shu Yu looked at the pile of gift boxes and sighed slightly.

She felt like a locust swarm passing through someone’s house, carrying away so many things.

Fearing that Madam Yao might still try to stuff more things, she quickly had Ying Xi drive the carriage back to the small courtyard south of the city.

Meng Yunzheng was not there; Zhao Xi told her he would return the next day, so Shu Yu tidied up and went to sleep first. That night she barely closed her eyes, and as soon as her head hit the pillow, she was asleep.

The next day, Shu Yu woke up a bit late, and Zhao Xi had already gone out.

He had been very busy lately, not only gathering and preparing medicine but also visiting several cloth shops to look for suitable fabrics to take back to Jiangyuan County for Daya, truly a devoted fiancé.

With no one at home, Shu Yu also planned to go out to the street after breakfast.

The sunflowers planted at her home were rare things, able to be used as dried goods or for oil extraction, but she was still considering the pricing aspect.

Whether it was Jiangyuan County or Dongan Province, rare items were not common.

So Shu Yu wanted to check the capital to see if there were similar things with set prices.

After getting up and finishing breakfast, Shu Yu tidied up a bit and got ready to go out.

Who knew that just at that moment, there was a sudden knock on the gate from outside. Ying Xi was attaching the horses, so Shu Yu ran to open the door herself.

As soon as she opened it, she saw two middle-aged men standing outside, one tall and one short, both very lean.

But the taller one’s eyes were sharp, while the shorter one was more gentle.

Shu Yu looked at the two strangers in surprise, “Who are you… looking for?”
