Chapter 1133: Using a Tough Approach
"Courtesy demands reciprocity," Shu Yu's words hit the nail on the head. Even Kang Shi, who had been focused on Wang Jiayi, couldn't help but suppress a smile. Everyone knew these things, but due to their identities, they couldn't openly confront each other.
Shu Yu didn't have such concerns, and she said what they had been wanting to say but had held back, which was a great relief for everyone.
Yao An opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but when he looked up and saw Shu Yu smiling at him, it seemed like she had twenty or thirty cutting remarks ready to shoot back at him. This feeling made him wisely keep his mouth shut.
Even Yao Hong, who wanted to say something, was silenced by him.
Shu Yu felt a little disappointed when they didn't retort, but at least Yao An finally fell silent, allowing her to eat in peace.
Not long after finishing lunch, Ying Xi brought Doctor Zhao into the courtyard.
Madam Yao seized the opportunity to distract Yao An and his sister, leaving the others to talk with Doctor Zhao in private.
Watching them leave, Yao Hong kicked her foot and said, "Brother, did you hear what she said just now? With her behavior, does she look like she's going to marry you? If she marries into our Yao family, we won't have a peaceful life."
Yao An frowned slightly and tried to comfort his sister and himself, "But think about it, if she marries into our Yao family, it could bring us many benefits. She did say one thing correctly just now, that we didn't help Uncle when he was exiled, and now it's unlikely we can benefit from his success. We've been here for over a month, but Uncle has been too busy with his affairs to consider helping us find a job."
Although Yao Hong was still upset, she understood her brother's reasoning. She muttered quietly, "Father even said that Uncle is weak and doesn't know how to refuse. True, he didn't refuse, but he also didn't help us. He just hoped we would give up and leave."
"So, I must marry Lu Shuyu. Then she can plead with Minister Qi and Minister Jing on my behalf, and we won't need to be at the mercy of Uncle and Aunt's whims."
"That's right. Aunt looks at us as if we are worthless. Even the servants don't take us seriously. I've never been so humiliated before," Yao Hong huffed twice and then asked, "Brother, what should we do now?"
Yao An pondered, "Being gentle won't work, so we can only be tough."
He instructed Yao Hong, "Keep an eye on them, and I'll go out for a while."
Yao Hong was about to ask him where he was going, but he had already disappeared.
She could only stomp her foot in frustration and walked with the usually silent Wang Jiayi towards Kang Shi's courtyard.
Unfortunately, they were stopped by Cai Er and Ying Xi at the entrance.
Yao Hong wasn't afraid of Cai Er, but Ying Xi had been wearing a cold expression the whole time. In the end, she didn't dare to barge in and could only peek from outside.
At this moment, Doctor Zhao had already finished checking Kang Shi's pulse, and he nodded slightly, "The pulse is stable, there shouldn't be any major issues. However, she should think less and avoid worrying too much. She should walk around the courtyard more."
Hearing Doctor Zhao's words, both Madam Yao and Kang Shi breathed a sigh of relief.
After prescribing some medicine for prenatal care, Doctor Zhao left.
As he left, he asked Shu Yu, "Are you leaving?"
Shu Yu shook her head, "I'm waiting for Uncle Yao to return. My father asked me to give him a blueprint."
Madam Yao added, "Shu Yu, won't you stay here for today? You can stay at our place for a few days."
Shu Yu just smiled. Of course, she wouldn't stay here.
But what she didn't expect was that Yao Tianqin returned too late.
Shu Yu was about to leave with Madam Yao after finishing dinner, but Yao Tianqin returned just then. Without a word, he asked her to come to his study.
