Chapter 1201: Full-level Boss Dressed As a Peasant Girl
Chapter 1201: Lu's Carpenter Shop
The expression on Xiang Weinan's face was unpleasant, but when he saw Xiao Shi, it was apparent that she was very happy. She let go of Shu Yu's hand and walked a few steps to his side, speaking with some excitement, "Husband, I heard that Lu Xiangjun came, so I came to say hello and invite her to the backyard to sit."
When facing her, Xiang Weinan's demeanor was entirely different from when he was with Shu Yu. He replied with a stern expression, "No need, she has other matters to attend to."
Xiao Shi's smile stiffened immediately.
Shu Yu felt the awkward atmosphere and hurriedly said, "Sister-in-law, I just returned home yesterday, and indeed, I have many things to attend to. I came today to give something to Lord Xiang and need to leave soon. Let's meet another day, and we can chat and have tea then."
Xiao Shi turned back and forced a smile, "Is that so? Lu Xiangjun is indeed a busy person. In that case, I won't keep you any longer."
Shu Yu felt a bit uneasy about how the situation was turning out. Hey, you two, if you have a disagreement or a fight, don't involve others in it.
She glanced at Xiang Weinan again, and he nodded, "You may leave now."
"Alright, you two can continue talking. I'll leave now."
After saying that, Shu Yu hurriedly walked toward the county office's entrance, as if she wished to disappear in an instant.
When she finally got out of the county office, she turned back and looked at the building in front of her.
Shu Yu couldn't believe that Xiang Weinan's wife had come all the way from the capital to Jiangyuan County.
She knew that Xiang Weinan was already married. He was older than Meng Yunzheng and came from a prestigious family. As a talented and accomplished young man, he certainly wouldn't be single.
However, when he came to Jiangyuan County, he didn't bring his wife along. Xiao Shi had been staying in the capital with her own family.

Being a normal man with power and wealth, Xiang Weinan naturally wouldn't be without female companionship. He did have a concubine, but she always stayed in the backyard. Whenever Shu Yu visited the county office, it was for official business, and their meetings usually took place in the front yard.
Because of this, Shu Yu had little interaction with the concubine and had only accidentally met her once.
Shu Yu had no intention of meddling in Xiang Weinan's affairs with his concubine. However, if Xiao Shi continued to stay in Jiangyuan County, given her status as the village lord , they might inevitably have to interact with each other in the future.
Well, she could ask Zhao Xi about Xiao Shi's background later.
Shu Yu shook her head and quickened her pace.
After leaving the county office, Shu Yu didn't return to Fenghuai Street. Instead, she walked towards another street. She searched along the way and eventually stopped in front of a shop that was neither remote nor bustling.
She looked up at the signboard above the door – "Lu's Carpentry Shop."
Shu Yu couldn't help but smile. It was indeed the place she was looking for.
This was the carpentry shop opened by Lu Erbai after she went to the capital. The regular personnel in the shop were Lu Erbai, craftsman Zheng, her brother-in-law Lai Jinhai, and her father's former partner, Liang Wangsheng.
During this time, the business at the shop had been booming. Ever since her family's restoration project, Lu Sanzhu purchased a new house, followed by Ding Yuehua's family. Lu Erbai was responsible for the renovations in both cases.
Unlike the housewarming banquet Shu Yu hosted for Ding Yuehua and third young Fan, the friends of Ding Yuehua and Fan Sanshao were all business-minded people. Their banquet was lively.
Interestingly, after Ding Yuehua visited Shu Yu's house, many of her friends made similar requests for renovations, such as adding a washroom or installing a whole wall wardrobe.
