Chapter 1237: Full-level Boss Dressed As a Peasant Girl
Chapter 1237: Remarrying in Three Years
Xiao Shi's suspicion was aroused by Ren Shi's words, and now she realized that she had been misled.
Now, looking back, she realized that some things might not be as simple as she thought. She had been blinded.
Xiao Shi took a deep breath, got into the carriage, and headed straight for the county office.
As she left, the lively atmosphere at the Lu family's house continued.
The matchmaker saw that it was getting late and thought it was time to leave. She shifted the topic to the date of the couple's marriage, trying to finalize the matter.
The matchmaker thought she had a good idea. The eldest daughter of the Lu family would marry in a couple of days, and the second daughter would probably get married next year.
But then, Shu Yu said, "Let's remarry in three years."
Getting married at eighteen was already considered an early marriage for Shu Yu.
The matchmaker was taken aback and asked, "Wouldn't that be too late?"
Meng Yunzheng smiled and replied, "No, I am still an ordinary man, while Ah Yu is already a respected local official. No matter what, I need to achieve something and pass the imperial exams to deserve her. Otherwise, it would be unfair to her."
The matchmaker's eyes lit up. It turned out that he wanted to achieve something through the imperial exams.

But then she furrowed her brows. Although she understood his intention, how could he be so sure that he would pass the exams in three years? What if he couldn't make it? Would he then cancel the marriage?
Generally, someone with slightly better academic performance would have become a xiucai by his age, like Tang Wenqian, who had already become a juren.
However, after Meng Yunzheng went through the journey of slaying the six bandits, the matchmaker was stunned when she learned about it later.
Of course, that was a story for later.
At this moment, the matchmaker was still troubled, but both the Lu family and the Meng family had no objections to this decision; they wholeheartedly supported it.
Well, since that was the case, they would remarry in three years. As for the specific date, it was too early to decide now.
After the date was set, the matchmaker left.
Meng Pei and old doctor Zhao had drunk a bit of alcohol in the evening and were a little tipsy. In addition, they had traveled back early in the morning, so they were certainly tired.
Shu Yu had someone escort them back home.
Meng Yunzheng and the others were still present. While everyone else was chatting and having tea in the front hall, Xiang Weinan walked up to Shu Yu and whispered, "Did Xiao Shi come to cause trouble for you today?"
Shu Yu glanced at him askance and replied in a low voice, "It's not that troublesome. Besides, it's all settled now."
Xiao Shi was not a truly sinister person, but they were not on the same path, and they would probably have no further contact in the future.
Especially if the Third Prince's attempt to seize the throne failed, Xiao Shi might eventually get implicated, and no one knew what would happen then.
Xiang Weinan noticed that she didn't intend to say more, and he knew that part of it was out of consideration for him. After a moment of silence, he said, "I will explain things to her when I go back. If she comes to find you again in the future, just let someone inform me."
"In the future?" Shu You was curious, "Is your wife going to stay in Jiangyuan County?"
Xiang Weinan frowned. He wanted to send Xiao Shi back to the capital as soon as possible, but from Xiao Shi's attitude, it seemed difficult.
Speaking of this, Xiang Weinan was also a little troubled. Xiao Shi's identity was such that unless she wanted to leave, he couldn't force her to go back to the capital.
Just then, Meng Yunzheng suddenly walked over and added, "You won't stay in Jiangyuan County for too long."
Shu Yu and Xiang Weinan turned their heads to look at him and asked, "What do you mean?"
