Chapter 1222: Full-level Boss Dressed As a Peasant Girl
Chapter 1222: The Trivial Matters of the Lu Family
In the afternoon, Xiao Shi ended the banquet early. She had mainly come to chat with Shu Yu and to get to know the wealthy young lady of the county.
After the banquet, Shu Yu left with Ding Yuehua. Ding Yuehua didn't ask what Xiao Shi talked to her about. She noticed that even though Shu Yu had a smile on her face when she left the pavilion, her mood didn't seem to be high. It was clear that she had some unpleasant interaction with the county official's wife.
Ding Yuehua thought the timing was still early, so she took Shu Yu to a famous dessert shop in the south of the city and bought two packets of preserved fruits. She handed one to Shu Yu and said, "Here, have some preserved fruits to sweeten your mouth. This shop's preserved fruits are quite good."
Shu Yu took a bite and said, "Thank you."
"No need to be polite with me."
They exchanged smiles and continued chatting, putting the events in the Peach Blossom Forest out of their minds.
Back home, Shu Yu once again got busy. Xiao Shi was worried that Shu Yu would report to Xiang Weinan, so she had someone keep an eye on the Lu family's house for several days.
To her surprise, the person who was watching reported that Shu Yu almost left the city every day and hadn't reported anything to Xiang Weinan. She seemed to be fully focused on her workshop outside the city and sometimes even stayed there overnight, leaving no chance to go to the county office.
Xiao Shi began to doubt her own speculation. Could it be that this Lu Xiangjun had really fallen for someone?
She decided to stop the surveillance and wait for half a month.
Shu Yu was in a good mood these days. The construction of the workshop progressed quickly, and the outer structure was already completed. Some people were currently building dormitories, while others were refurbishing the interior.
Due to this, Lu Erbai had stayed on the estate for several days and hadn't gone back home.
As for Zhou Qiao, she was settled by the Lu family. Her belly was slowly growing, and there was a bit of chaos in the estate with people coming and going. The houses for the tenants were not enough, so some of them had to live on the estate. These people worked hard every day and came back sweaty, needing to take a shower and talk loudly. This made Zhou Qiao, a socially anxious pregnant woman, feel uncomfortable.

Shu Yu had her stay at her house, which ensured her safety and comfort and allowed Lu Erbai to focus on his work.
Although Li Shi wanted Zhou Qiao to go back to Shishi Village, where she could take care of her, Li Shi was her mother-in-law, so it was only natural for Zhou Qiao to live with them. However, Shu Yu had already made her decision, and Li Shi didn't dare to oppose it.
Li Shi had considered going to talk to Da Niu, but Da Niu was still angry at her for buying medicine without permission, and he hadn't come back to see her. So, she gave up on the idea.
Zhou Qiao stayed comfortably in the Lu family.
With the workshop on the right track, Shu Yu began to look for a shop. Once the sunflowers ripened, both the seeds and the oil would be sold in the shop.
However, there was no need to rush to find a shop; she would take her time.
Zhao Xi's house had already been purchased. He bought a two-story courtyard. He originally wanted to buy a three-story courtyard, but after seeing it, he found that it was in a bad location and was dilapidated. It would take a lot of time to renovate it, and he was afraid that the new house wouldn't be ready even by the time they got married.
So, Zhao Xi and Shu You discussed it and decided on the two-story courtyard instead.
