The Ace Bigshot Becomes A Farmgirl

Shu Yu silently lit candles in her heart for the Great Princess and her daughter, knowing that this matter was nearly settled, then she asked about Xiang Weinan’s schedule.

Xiao Ruojun thought Shu Yu was just here to chat with her, not expecting she had business with her husband as well.

”He went out, but since I’m pregnant, he comes back to check on me at noon these days.”

Noon? That should be about right.

Sure enough, when Madam Xiang called them for dinner, Xiang Weinan hurried back home.

He was not surprised to see Shu Yu, ”Here to chat with Ruojun? Great, if you have time, keep her company more often.”

He seemed very busy, didn’t even eat at home, only glanced at Xiao Ruojun, seeing she was fine, then turned to leave again.

Xiao Ruojun quickly pulled him back, ”Wait, Yu has something to discuss with you.”

Xiang Weinan was startled, ”With me?”

Seeing he really had no time to waste, Shu Yu didn’t beat around the bush and directly stated her purpose, ”You know I plan to open a shop in the capital, I’d like to ask you to help me find a suitable shopkeeper.”

Xiang Weinan’s expression instantly turned a bit strange, ”Why did you think of asking me for help?”

Shu Yu blinked, ”Yun said you’d be suitable for it.”

Hearing it was Meng Yunzheng’s idea, Xiang Weinan suddenly seemed to realize something, his face darkening abruptly.

After a moment, he sneered coldly, ”I knew it, he’s hinting at me to repay a debt. Fine, fine, you want a shopkeeper, right? I’ll get you one, I’ll bring him over tomorrow.”

With that, he snorted and stormed off, furious.

The others left behind were all bewildered, looking at each other.

Shu Yu hesitantly asked, ”Did I say something I shouldn’t have?”

Xiao Ruojun was confused and shook her head, her husband was usually very composed, it was rare for his expression to change so quickly.

Though Madam Xiang didn’t understand either, she added, ”Ignore him, he’s been dizzy from being busy these days, and knowing Ruojun is pregnant, he’s both happy and flustered, the whole person is off, I’ll get a doctor to check on him later.”

As if Xiang Weinan had lost his mind.

Shu Yu, ”...”

But what did Xiang Weinan mean by that thing about repaying a debt? Did he owe Yun a debt?

Shu Yu rubbed her chin, could it be a substantial sum?

Since Xiang Weinan agreed, even though his mood seemed off, his face wasn’t good, and his attitude was unfriendly, Shu Yu still felt relieved.

She accompanied Xiao Ruojun for a while longer at the Xiang Family, seeing her soon starting to yawn, just as Nanny Gu said, she was sleepy, so she took her leave to go home.

The next day was the end of the third exam. This time Shu Yu arrived at the entrance of the Examination Hall just after noon.

There were quite a few people who had the same idea as her, so the area outside the Examination Hall soon became crowded with people.

Possibly arriving early, Shu Yu even saw two candidates being carried out.

The surrounding people were all talking, ”It’s the last day, how can something still happen?”

”Yeah, it’s almost time for the gong to sound, just hold on a little longer.”

”What a pity.”

Everyone shook their heads and sighed, and Shu Yu also felt quite emotional.

Many others seeing this were very worried, fearing their relatives hadn’t managed to hold out till the last moment. The closer it got to the hour, the more anxious they became.

Finally, the gong sounded, the doors of the Examination Hall slowly opened before everyone, and everyone let out a big sigh of relief, then surged forward.
