Chapter 1983: Now She's a County Princess

Cheng Xian chuckled, "I arrived just two days ago to handle some matters, and I didn't expect to encounter you here."

Then, as if he suddenly remembered something, he asked curiously, "I remember your hometown was in Dong'an Prefecture, right? How did you end up here?"

"My fiancé's family is here."

"I see. You're already engaged?" He did some mental calculations and realized she was seventeen now, and not being engaged at her age would be unusual. He smiled, "Congratulations, time flies so fast. You've been away from the southwest for several years now, and you've changed a lot."

Back then, Shu Yu was an exiled person. Not to mention her fragile appearance, she was at least slender. However, she had a good presence, making her look very elegant.

Now, she had a healthy complexion, seemed to have grown taller, and appeared even more outstanding.

Shu Yu and Cheng Xian chatted with each other enthusiastically, but the others were feeling uncomfortable. Leaving aside Xia Yan and Ying Xi for a moment, both Cheng Wenbao and Cheng Jiatong wore unpleasant expressions.

Cheng Jiatong, in particular, had hoped that Cheng Xian would help her seek revenge, but now she saw him chatting so amicably with that wretched woman. It seemed like they had a good relationship.

Moreover, this woman had admitted to being engaged to Gan Rui? Cheng Jiatong shivered. She wanted revenge, but now she couldn't rely on Cheng Xian, and her brother...

Cheng Jiatong looked at Cheng Wenbao, and he felt her resentment. He gave her a reassuring look.

In any case, they needed to find out Cheng Xian's relationship with this girl first.

He forced a smile, took a deep breath, and approached them, saying, "Elder Brother Cheng, who is this young lady?"

Cheng Xian seemed to have just remembered that there were other people around him. He regained his composure and introduced, "Oh, I forgot to introduce. This is Miss Lu, she..."

Shu Yu coughed lightly and reminded him quietly, "I'm a county princess now."

Cheng Xian blinked, "A county princess?"

"Yes, I was granted the title during the New Year, the County Princess of Wen'an."

Cheng Xian widened his eyes. With the news not being so well-spread and having just arrived two days ago, he had no idea that Shu Yu had transformed from a village Lord to a county princess. It was truly unexpected.

He looked incredulous, "Just two or three years, and you've become a county princess? Congratulations!"

Cheng Xian found Shu Yu's life story quite miraculous, going from an overlooked adopted daughter to a person exiled in the southwest, then being titled as a village Lore, and now a county princess by the current emperor. She was only seventeen years old; her experiences were truly unparalleled. People usually didn't rise through the ranks this quickly.

He was genuinely shocked. On the other hand, the Cheng siblings were even more astounded.

She... She's County Princess Wen'an? The very same county princess who had been making headlines recently?

Unlike Cheng Xian, who had only arrived two days ago, the Cheng siblings were well aware of the name of this county princess. They hadn't seen the county princess in person, but they were familiar with her name and her impressive advertising campaign for her shop.

Cheng Wenbao furrowed his brow and glared at his sister. How could she offend the famous County Princess Wen'an?

Cheng Jiatong was also bewildered. Weren't the ones engaged to Gan Rui just some country bumpkins from the County town? How could she possibly be the county princess?

Wait a minute... Something didn't add up.
