Chapter 1410: Chapter 1410: Uncle ng
Uncle ng quickly put down his cup, wiped his mouth, and looked at Ms. Tao, “What are you doing?”
Ms. Tao pointed at Shu Yu in frustration and said, “Didn’t you hear what she just said?”
“Say, say what?” Uncle ng didn’t quite understand.
Ms. Tao was so angry she almost swooned, “She called Yunzheng ‘Yun’—is that sothing soone who works for him should call him?”
Saying this, she looked up at Shu Yu and sneered, “Miss, don’t you understand propriety? Yunzheng is the master; you should be calling him ‘Sir.’ Is this behavior because you regard yourself as the mistress? Do you know that Yunzheng is engaged?”
Uncle ng was stunned for a mont, then nodded solemnly.
Shu Yu was also taken aback, then slowly glanced at herself, quickly realizing the misunderstanding.
She chuckled as she removed the cloak. Though the clothes beneath were not particularly bright, they were still exquisite and good-looking.
Her already beautiful face looked imdiately different with the change of clothes.
Shu Yu smiled, “You must be Yun’s Uncle and Aunt? I forgot to introduce myself earlier. Uncle, Aunt, hello, I am Lu Shuyu, originally from Jiangyuan County in Dongan Province, the fiancée who got engaged to Yun just last year.”
As soon as she finished speaking, all four people present stared wide-eyed in shock.
The young lady on the left gave a little gasp and almost dropped the lid in her hand.
Noticing this, Shu Yu couldn’t help but squint her eyes.
But before she could think further, Uncle ng suddenly stood up excitedly in front of Shu Yu, “You, you are Shu Yu? You’ve co to Changjin Prefecture.”
“Uncle, nice to et you, sorry for the delay.” Shu Yu faced him, her smile growing more gentle.
She didn’t know about the others, but she had heard a lot about Uncle ng’s character from ng Pei and ng Yunzheng.
This person was genuinely happy to see her.
Uncle ng waved his hand repeatedly, “No delay at all, it’s us who ca over unannounced. You weren’t scared just now, were you? Yunzheng often talks about you, says you’re kind, generous, wise, and beautiful. Seeing you today, it’s truly so. When did you arrive? Were you worried about Yunzheng? Hahaha, just on my way past the city gates, I already heard Yunzheng took first place again in the academy exam, worthy child of the ng family, truly promising.”
He was so cheerful, talking quite a lot, but his joyful excitent was infectious.
“By the way, is everything at ho well? My elder brother returned to Jiangyuan County after the new year. It’s been over half a year since I’ve seen him. Is he still in good health?”
As soon as he learned Shu Yu’s identity, he started talking endlessly, seemingly ready for a long chat.
Ms. Tao watched, feeling her head throb, almost wanting to slam the table.
She coughed loudly, interrupting Uncle ng’s chatter.
Then, Ms. Tao forced a smile and looked Shu Yu over, “So you are the fad Monarch Lu Xiang. Earlier, seeing your attire, I thought Yunzheng had hired you to do so cleaning. Such misunderstandings, you mustn’t take this aunt to heart.”
Sincerity or pretense, Shu Yu could discern instantly.
Especially when Ms. Tao ntioned her, she referred to her as Monarch Lu Xiang, unlike Uncle ng who used her na. Additionally, her comnts on Shu Yu’s attire carried an obvious tinge of sarcasm.
What, a Village Chief can’t wear a cloak? Or is it that even though she’s gained the title of Village Chief, she’s still considered a lowly peasant girl at heart?
