Chapter 2175: Interesting Matters

Watching Meng Yunzheng enter the examination hall, Shu Yu turned and left.

She didn't go directly to find Xiang Weinan because she knew he was busy today and wouldn't be at home. So she went straight to the shop on Futai Street. Craftsman Ding had already started working efficiently, dismantling the second-floor elegant rooms.

Shu Yu bought them some food, didn't stay long, and left.

After the shop was renovated, she would need to buy some daily necessities. Therefore, she spent the whole afternoon wandering the streets.

However, she noticed something interesting. Originally, there were several rouge shops on Futai Street. But the high-end ones were Cen Yi's rouge shop and her family rouge shop.

After Cen Yi's shop was sold to her, there should have been the only one left, and business should have been booming.

Unexpectedly, today, a new rouge shop had opened not far away, and judging by its decoration and size, it seemed to surpass the other one.

On its first day of business, apart from the lion and dragon dance performances at the entrance, they also offered discounts, attracting many ladies and madams to visit.

Cen Yi's shop was struggling, and to make matters worse, a few days ago, Cen Yi had to close temporarily, and she had discounted her rouge and cosmetics, taking away the remaining customers. Now, this new shop's grand opening was stealing away even more customers.

Shu Yu also went into the new rouge shop to take a look. The products were good, but they were quite expensive.

Luckily, she had bought a lot of items from Cen Yi's shop before, and she couldn't finish using them all. So, after browsing the shop, she didn't find anything particularly appealing and left.

Then, she bought some gift boxes on the street. The next morning, carrying the gifts, she went directly to Xiang's residence.

This was the first time Shu Yu had visited Xiang's residence, but as soon as the gatekeeper heard her name, he immediately went inside to report.

Shortly after, Gu Mamma came out to welcome her personally, with a smile on her face, saying, "Our young Madam has been looking forward to County Princess these past few days. Finally, we've managed to bring you here."

Shu Yu smiled and asked her, "Sister-in-law, have you been doing well these past few days? How's your appetite?"

"It's been quite good. Other than feeling a bit uncomfortable on the day of the carriage ride, I've been a bit sleepier than usual and easily fatigued. But aside from that, everything's fine. This child knows that his mother isn't feeling well and has been very obedient."

"That's good."

As they talked, they quickly arrived at the courtyard where Xiao Shi lived.

In addition to Xiao Shi, Xiang Madam was also there. When she saw Shu Yu, Madam Xiang's expression was very friendly. "So, this is County Princess Wen'an, right? I've heard Wei Nan and Ruojuan mention you. They said you are not only a kind-hearted person but also talented. Today, seeing you in person, it's indeed true. You and Yunzheng are a perfect match."

Shu Yu didn't expect her to be so warm. "Auntie is too polite; I'm feeling a bit embarrassed now."

"Why be embarrassed? Wei Nan told me about what happened a few days ago. Thanks to your timely message, if not for you, we wouldn't have known that Ruojuan was pregnant while she was still at the ancestral estate. If anything had happened, we would have regretted it."

"Lord Xiang and Madam are our friends; this is what we should do."

Madam Xiang looked at her and liked her more and more. After some small talk, she didn't want to disturb the two young ladies and said, "You two can chat; I'll leave you to it. Ah Yu, please stay for lunch. I'll go to the kitchen and make arrangements."

Once they left, Shu Yu looked at Xiao Ruojuan with a smile. "Madam Xiang is really good to you."

"This child isn't just what I've been hoping for, but also what my parents have been hoping for for several years."
