The Ace Bigshot Becomes A Farmgirl

Mentioning her elder brother, Cen Yi’s spirits indeed improved considerably.

Hearing the nanny’s words, her eyes slightly brightened. Yes, her brother would definitely pass the Advanced Scholar exam.

The two quickly shifted their conversation from Shu Yu to the Marquis Yongchang Heir.

Meanwhile, at the small courtyard to the south of the city, Shu Yu approached Zhao Xi and asked softly, ”What’s the situation with Young Madam Zhou?”

Zhao Xi sighed deeply. He initially didn’t want to speak about it, but later thought that since Shu Yu was getting married in a few months, he ought to educate her about certain things women should know.

This was something a doctor and a family member should do.

However, Zhao Xi didn’t mention Cen Yi’s situation. Instead, he advised her, ”When you get married, you must protect yourself. For instance, during your menstrual period, avoid intercourse, understand? It can easily cause certain diseases.”

Shu Yu: ”...”

Alright, she understood now; Cen Yi probably had intercourse with Young Master Zhou during her period.

No wonder it caused an infection. She roughly understood Cen Yi’s situation, likely similar to an ovarian infection.

Generally, this is due to neglecting personal hygiene or surgeries such as abortions, insertion or removal of contraceptive devices, and having intercourse during menstruation.

Shu Yu felt this was surely initiated by Young Master Zhou. Women feel uncomfortable during their period, and unless Young Master Zhou forcefully insisted, Cen Yi wouldn’t have had such intentions. Besides, most men actually find it distasteful.

Now it seems Cen Yi’s days at the Zhou household are indeed tough.

But these matters are unrelated to her, as she was unlikely to have any further contact with Cen Yi.

Nonetheless, today she acquired a shop, so Shu Yu was in a very good mood.

She stayed with Madam Hou for dinner, and once she left, Shu Yu eagerly started planning her shop.

The first floor didn’t offer much flexibility; it was spacious but needed the counter rebuilt and a few more shelves added.

The warehouse in the backyard required opening up two sections, though she initially planned to open one. Now thinking about it, the distance from Dongan Province to the capital was quite far, bringing over goods was challenging; it’s better to store more.

As for the second floor...

Actually, selling melon seeds and sunflower oil didn’t need elegant rooms upstairs; the first floor sufficed.

Therefore, she had to plan well for the second floor.

Since she hadn’t thought of it yet, Shu Yu left it aside for now, initially drawing a proposal for the first floor, intending to find a craftsman later.

By the time these tasks were completed, it was already late.

Shu Yu stretched lazily, looking at the moonlight outside the window, thinking about Meng Yunzheng at the exam venue.

Who knows how he was doing; it was too late now to continue writing, he should be asleep.

However, the weather was still cold now, and with no door at the examination booth, the wind was chilling.

Thinking this, Shu Yu felt somewhat worried.

Meanwhile, Meng Yunzheng was indeed not sleeping; neighboring sounds of teeth grinding and snoring, along with trembling sounds from across, didn’t really affect him.

He lay back slightly, leaning against the wall with closed eyes, reviewing the exam questions, only preparing to sleep once he was done.

He initially thought the Second Prince’s people would make a move before the exam, but it had been peaceful throughout.

After a restless night, Meng Yunzheng awoke the next day feeling energized.

Stretching slightly, he began the second round of exams.
