Chapter 2273: I'm Going to Be an Aunt

Shu Yu and Meng Yunzheng had just finished dinner at the Lu family's house and took a leisurely walk in the courtyard before slowly making their way back to the Meng family's residence.

These were rare peaceful days for them. After the third-day return to the groom's family, they were likely to get busy.

Thinking about this, Shu Yu couldn't help but ask, "The two great scholars still haven't arrived? All the other invited scholars have already arrived in Jiangyuan County, and they even attended our wedding a couple of days ago. But there's been no news from the two great scholars."

Meng Yunzheng held her hand and said, "They should have arrived, but they probably don't intend to show themselves just yet. However, before the start of the school year, they will definitely appear."

Shu Yu then asked, "Once the school starts, you'll be going to the southwest. How will you manage the academy here? Both of those scholars are highly respected individuals. If one of them manages the academy, won't it make the other one feel resentful?"

Meng Yunzheng chuckled, "Who said they're going to manage the academy? They are indeed knowledgeable, but precisely because they are so focused on their studies, they have achieved what they have now. People like them are eager to avoid the tedious administrative tasks of running an academy. They'd rather not get involved."

Shu Yu nodded in understanding and said, "That makes sense. Not everyone is like you, with both scholarly knowledge and managerial abilities."

Meng Yunzheng, "..." Being praised by his wife like this was quite deadly.

He tightened his grip on Shu Yu's hand and reassured her, "Don't worry, the founding of the Zhenglu Academy was always intended to be managed by Master Wen, who is well-versed in the many affairs of the academy. As for the two scholars, they are welcome to focus on teaching the students who come to seek their guidance. They can choose who they want to instruct; it's all up to them."

Meng Yunzheng didn't intend to micromanage them too much. Both of these scholars had achieved their fame through their scholarly knowledge and were reasonable individuals. As long as they followed the academy's rules, they could decide how and when to teach, even choosing their own students.

As they were talking, they returned to the Meng family's residence. Upon entering, Meng Yunzheng was immediately pulled away by his uncle to discuss some matters.

Shu Yu went to meet with Meng Pei and then returned to her room with Ying Xi.

However, when they entered the room, they saw that Ying Xi had a constant smile on her face, and her joy couldn't be concealed.

Shu Yu raised her hand and waved it in front of Ying Xi. "What good news have you received?"

Ying Xi immediately snapped out of her thoughts, grinned, and said in a low voice, "Miss, I'm going to be an aunt."

"An aunt?" Shu Yu was surprised. "Is Hua Xian pregnant?"

"Yes, yes." Ying Xi nodded repeatedly, excited as if she were the one giving birth. "My sister-in-law said that she hadn't received any news for a while, and she was getting worried, but suddenly, she's expecting. Soon, the Lin family will have a new addition."

"The Lin family?"

"Big brother said that the Ying family has been kind to us, and we once faced a great calamity. Now, we don't know where the Ying family's children are or whether they're safe. Initially, my mother's body was taken care of by my stepmother's family, so our siblings still bear the Ying surname. In the future, when the child is born, we'll change his surname back to Lin. Whenever we have the chance, we'll take him to visit our parents."

Shu Yu understood and said, "As long as you all have an understanding."

"Miss, I'd like to request a day off tomorrow to buy things for my future nephew."
