Chapter 2032: Angered by the Lu Family

"So, she passed away due to breast cancer?" Shu Yu looked at the previous pathology report again, muttering to herself, "Liver Qi stagnation."

"If one frequently gets angry and experiences severe mood swings, it can lead to insufficient sleep and mental tension, ultimately causing hormonal imbalances. There are many factors contributing to the development of breast cancer, and hormones are generally considered one of them."

"Tsk."

Shu Yu made a slight mocking sound and neatly put away the medical records.

As she raised her eyes, she noticed Ying Xi hesitating, as if there was more to say. Shu Yu raised an eyebrow and inquired, "What's the matter? Is there something else you haven't finished telling me?"

Ying Xi nodded, "Well, there's one more thing. It seems that rumors are circulating in Ruan Family Village, suggesting that Granny Ruan passed away because she frequently got angry, essentially dying of anger. The reason for her anger was... was..."

"Was it because of me?" Shu Yu continued.

Ying Xi nodded with some indignation, "They say that every time Granny Ruan heard good news from the Lu family, she would return home and throw a fit. Last time, when she heard that the young Miss was pregnant, she scolded for half a day and even fainted from anger. That was the first time she called for a doctor, and the diagnosis indicated that she had a liver disorder and pent-up emotions."

"Later, when she heard that the future son-in-law passed the township-level exam, our Lu family's store opened in the prefectural capital, and when she found out that you became the county princess, she got angry every time. I heard she couldn't sleep through the night. This time, when our young master participated in the autumn emperial examination, the results haven't even come out yet, and she got so angry that she died."

Shu Yu chuckled and said, "Well, she really went too far. Our Lu family will continue to prosper, and she died just like that. She won't even hear good news from our family in the future."

Ying Xi agreed, "Exactly, it's too cheap for her."

"When is the funeral?"

"They've chosen a day, the day after tomorrow. Given the weather, they can't wait too long."

Shu Yu nodded, "I see." She folded the two medical records she had in her hand, stood up, and walked to a copper basin, lighting them on fire with a match.

Just as the flames consumed the papers, a maidservant's voice from outside the courtyard reached their ears, "Second Miss, Aunt Xiang is here."

"Let her in." Shu Yu flicked the ashes off her clothing, stood up, and walked to the outer room. "Aunt Xiang, why have you come?"

Aunt Xiang seemed to have been in a hurry, sweat on her forehead.

Ying Xi quickly poured her a cup of tea. "Take a couple of gulps before speaking, 'Ah Yu, you know about Granny Ruan's passing, right?"

"Yes, my mother told me."

Aunt Xiang nodded, "Yes, your mother's cousin came to the tailoring shop yesterday and told her. I heard that the people from the Ruan family wanted your mother to come back and pay her last respects to Granny Ruan. But I know those people from Ruan Family Village very well. Who knows if they'll cause trouble? So, I went back early this morning and inquired with people I know."

Shu Yu poured her another cup of tea. "Aunt Xiang, you're very considerate."

Aunt Xiang waved her hand, "I came here just to tell you, Ah Yu, you mustn't let your mother go. I know that when a person dies, debts are forgiven, but if your mother doesn't go, the people from Ruan Family Village might say nasty things. But if she does go, she'll be entangled in it."
