Chapter 1190: Shu Yu's Guess Was Right
The argument quickly drew Shu Yu and Zhou Qiao out of the main hall. Upon hearing Li Shi's words, both of them were speechless.
Zhou Qiao knew her second aunt was stingy, but that didn't mean she would compromise on the quality of medicine. After all, you couldn't just take anything into your body. Luckily, she had no intention of consuming those supplements.
Unbeknownst to the quarreling group, a few people were standing behind them. When Zhou Qiao's second aunt heard Li Shi's accusations, she immediately sneered.
With hands on her hips, she pointed at Li Shi and retorted, "You dare to blame me? Although the fertility medicine I brought might be in powder form, it still serves its purpose. But what about you? You bought some tonic just because someone said it helps with giving birth to a son. Are you not afraid of causing harm to your daughter-in-law?"
Shu Yu thought, "My previous concerns were spot on. Li Shi actually bought the fertility medicine."
Da Niu was astonished, "Mother, did you really buy it?"
Li Shi hesitated, "What they said is true. Those who took the medicine from that seller all gave birth to sons."
Da Niu's face darkened, "From now on, don't buy anything for Qiao'er to consume. Pack your things, and I'll take you back to the county immediately."
Li Shi couldn't believe his accusation, "Da Niu, what do you mean? Do you think I would harm my own grandson? Haven't I done enough for Qiao'er since she got pregnant?" she said with a shocked expression.
Zhou Qiao's second aunt looked a little smug.
Unseen by the quarreling group, someone behind them suddenly spoke up, "big Brother Niu, I happened to be going back too. Let me send them off."
Both Li Shi and Zhou Qiao's second aunt's expressions changed abruptly. They hesitated to turn around.
The voice sounded very familiar. Could it be... Shu Yu?
The excitement in Da Niu's voice confirmed their suspicions, "Ah Yu, you're back. When I heard that your carriage was seen, I hurried home. Wait for me a moment; I'll wash my face and talk to you later."
"Sure."
Shu Yu smiled as she watched Da Niu walk away.
She then looked at Li Shi and Zhou Qiao's second aunt, who were still standing with their backs to her, and nearly burst out laughing. Was she that scary now?
"Big aunt? Second aunt? Why are you standing still?" she called out playfully.
They dared not move...
Li Shi quickly regained her composure and thought about it. She didn't have any conflicts with Ah Yu, and their relationship had been quite close a few months ago when she left Jiangyuan County.
So, she immediately turned around with a happy expression, pretending to be surprised, "Oh my, it really is Ah Yu! I knew the voice sounded familiar, but I thought I was hearing things. I didn't expect it to be you for real. When did you return from the capital? Is the capital fun? Must be bustling there. Or is it that you're lucky to have traveled to the Emperor's presence at such a young age?"
Shu Yu thought, "It's best to say less when you don't know what you're talking about."
Zhou Qiao reminded her mother-in-law, "Mother, Shu Yu went to take care of official business," not to have fun.
Li Shi gave her a glare and then, with a smile, she pulled Shu Yu's arm affectionately and led her back into the main hall.
As for Zhou Qiao's second aunt, she silently diminished her presence in the background.
