Chapter 2039: She Clearly Came to Annoy

Some of the villagers in the Ruan family village gradually realized what was happening. This wasn't just a conversation with old lady Ruan; it was quite clear that she came to annoy her. Had County princess already learned that every time grandma Ruan heard good news from the Lu family, she would get so angry that she would curse them?

The doctors had said that grandma Ruan was so stressed that it had led to her illness and eventual death. Now that she had passed away, she still had to be subjected to news of the Lu family's good fortune?

Especially grandma Ruan's least favorite daughter, who was now living a luxurious life with servants attending to her every need, living comfortably, doing whatever she pleased, with well-behaved children, and the opportunity to visit the prefectural city?

And on top of that, when she returned from the city, she would visit grandma Ruan's grave to annoy her again?

The villagers of the Ruan family were worried that grandma Ruan would be so angry that she'd jump out of her grave.

Shu Yu, regardless of what others thought, had more to say, "By the way, speaking of going to the capital, there's actually an opportunity right now. Early next year, we can set off. Do you know why, grandmother? Because my fiancé, who ranked first in the autumn emperial examination and was the top scholar, will be entering the capital to take the spring imperial examination next year, and we can accompany him."

The villagers of the Ruan family were stunned. First in the autumn emperial examination? Shu Yu's fiancé, that young master Meng, not only scored in the top three, but now he was also first in the autumn emperial examination!

If things continued to go smoothly, would he also be first in the spring emperial examination and the palace examination? Wouldn't he achieve the rare distinction of becoming a triple top scholar, leaving his name in history?

The people couldn't help but gasp, and they looked at Shu Yu with a mix of envy and jealousy.

Shu Yu had already taken out a letter from her sleeve, saying, "Funny enough, I just learned this news. I had already prepared a carriage with Ying Xi to leave. The courier from the post station just happened to run over and delivered the news about Ah Yun's first place in the examination. It seems like fate knew that I was coming to visit you, grandmother, and sent the news to me in such a timely manner so that I could share it with you. Are you happy to hear that your future grandson-in-law is so successful? You don't need to worry about him mistreating me in the future. Ah Yun said that once he passes the examination next year, he'll ask the emperor for permission to marry us. From then on, he will have only me as his wife, and he won't even glance at other women. Are you satisfied with this future grandson-in-law?"

Shu Yu was skilled at speaking nonsense with a straight face, and the Ruan siblings beside her had contorted and furious expressions.

Ying Xi glanced at them and handed over a water flask, saying, "Miss, have a sip of water and continue."

Shu Yu took it and had a few sips.

Everyone's eyes were now on the water flask, and they looked puzzled.

Ying Xi explained, "Our old lady was worried that Miss might get too upset and damage her voice by talking too much, so she had our eldest master prepare some herbal tea."

Yes, that was the reason, absolutely not because they were afraid that the tea provided by the Ruan family might have been tampered with.

After Ying Xi's explanation, she extended the water flask forward, and it indeed had a faint herbal scent, which was quite refreshing.

Shu Yu wiped her mouth and continued, "Yes, this herbal tea was prepared by our old Madam for me. She cares about me the most. Now that my grandmother is getting older, and she passed away suddenly, I will pay extra attention to my grandmother's health in the future. I promise to ensure that she lives a long and healthy life."
