Chapter 2112: Suddenly Burst into Tears

Facing Grandma Lu's inquiry, Zhao Xi replied calmly, "The person is fine, but her body has suffered severe damage. As I mentioned earlier, it's very risky for a woman to become pregnant and give birth when her body hasn't fully developed. An Qing's wife just started menstruating two years ago, and she became pregnant last year..."

Her body hadn't fully developed yet, and the unexpected accident had dire consequences. Although she was fine now, her body would require thorough recovery, and she wouldn't be able to conceive for four to five years.

Grandma Lu nodded in understanding. "As long as she's safe, we can take our time with having children. It's fortunate that the Li family is reasonable; otherwise..."

She didn't finish her sentence, but it was clear that she was referring to unreasonable people who might have blamed the young woman, especially since the miscarriage was due to her own fall.

She said to Zhao Xi, "You've worked hard. Go to the kitchen and have something to eat. There's food warming on the stove."

"Alright."

Grandma Lu didn't inquire further about the matter. However, Li Shi mentioned that when she visited the young woman at the Li family's house three days later, the woman was pale and nervous, her face ghastly. The miscarriage had obviously taken a toll on her.

When Li Shi had gone to see her, the young woman had mistakenly thought that Li Shi had come to mock her. She had shouted and screamed at Li Shi, frightening her to the point where she hurriedly left.

"That day, she had mocked our family's Lan Hua, saying it was inappropriate for someone her age not yet pregnant. She thought I was trying to save face. But now, look at what's happened to her. It's karma, isn't it?" Li Shi said.

Grandma Lu glanced at her and said, "Enough of your schadenfreude. That child that didn't make it was still your nephew's. You should accumulate some good karma."

Li Shi huffed and didn't say anything more.

Shu Yu didn't pay much attention to the Li family's affairs after hearing about them. After Zhao Xi made two more visits and prescribed some medication, he didn't involve himself further.

On the sixth day of the first lunar month, Lu's Workshop officially resumed operations. After setting off firecrackers to celebrate, Shu Yu began preparing to open a store in the capital.

After the Lantern Festival, she would head to the capital.

There wasn't much going on at home. The only significant event was Shu Rui's plan to participate in the county examination.

Shu Yu couldn't do much other than encourage him not to be burdened by it and to stay calm. Most importantly, he shouldn't be nervous. This time, it was just practice, and there would be another chance later, especially since Meng Yun Zheng had said there shouldn't be any problems.

Shu Rui had been somewhat anxious at first, but after Meng Yun Zheng's last-minute intensive training before the New Year, he was now quite confident.

On the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, Shu Yu packed her bags and boarded the carriage, accompanied by Zhao Xi and Xiao Songle.

Xiao Songle was now five years old, and his memories of the Changjin Prefecture were fading, as he had left when he was two years old. Returning there made him a bit nervous.

Standing at the entrance of the Lu family's home, he held his good friend Quan Quan's hand and said, "I'll be back soon. I've brought money with me, so I'll buy you a gift when I return."

Quan Quan was reluctant, saying, "You have to remember me."

"I definitely will."

As the two children spoke, tears welled up in their eyes, which left the others amused and touched.

Zhao Xi saw that it was getting late and said, "Alright, you all should go home now. We'll be leaving."

This time, no one from the Lu family saw them off from the city gates; they just stood at the doorstep and gave some final reminders.

Zhao Xi lifted little Xiao Songle onto the carriage with one hand and took a seat on the front. Unexpectedly, at that moment, little Huo Huo, who had been in Shu You's arms, suddenly burst into tears with a loud "wah."
