Chapter 2143: Love Rival
When it came to Minister Wan's only son, Hou Shi was quite calm.
In her words and expressions, there was a contentment with her current life. It seemed that Wan Daren's favor towards her surpassed that of Second Master Shu by a long shot.
Shu Yu smile...
Chapter 2142: Minister Wan Treats Her Well
Shu Yu understood; in reality, it was still managed by the Hou Shi.
However, since Hou Shi was just a concubine, if Minister Wan allowed a concubine to oversee the household, it might lead to accusations by the imperial censors.
So, ...
Chapter 2141: The Alluring Lady Hou
As Shu Yu listened, she welcomed Hou Shi into the house.

Shu Yu took a sip of tea and was abo...
Chapter 2135: The Young Madam from the Yao Family Has Arrived

Chapter 2132: His Name Is Now Song Le
Aunt Hong patted Song Le's head and nodded. "Yes, that whole area was damaged. Those darn rebels disrupted the peace of the dead. They weren't afraid of retribution."
Oh, they definitely faced retribution. They either died quickly or were caught...
Chapter 2131: Involving the Song Family
Aunt Hong found it difficult to speak about this family matter, as it was a source of shame, and her children's behavior had put her in a tough spot.
Originally, she didn't want to mention it, but this matter had also involved the Song family....
Chapter 2130: Saved Up Quite a Bit
Yu Shi's remark was clearly meant for Shu Yu, trying to make her aware of her efforts.
However, Aunt Hong felt a bit embarrassed by this and chuckled, saying to Shu Yu, "She's just shallow-minded; don't mind her."
Shu Yu was well aware of Yu...
Chapter 2129: Gouwa Experiences the World
Aunt Hong was very curious about how he had been these past three years and eagerly asked Song Le for details.

Chapter 2128: I'm Going to School

Chapter 2126: This is Songle
Aunt Hong took a few steps forward, looking at Shu Yu with a mix of happiness and nervousness. "Miss Lu, you..."

Xiao Songle took a deep breath, tilted hi...

Shu Yu picked up their belonging...
Chapter 2124: He Came Back Last Night
Early the next morning, just as daybreak arrived, Meng Yunzheng left with the letter.

Chapter 2123: Have You Been Drinking?
When Xia Yan heard this, he looked around and lowered his voice, "No, Lord Qi is not in the capital."

Chapter 2122: Is Meng Yunzheng Casting a Wide Net?

Chapter 2118: Arriving in the Capital
Zhao Xi was stunned, "The last Black Market is in the southwest?"
"Not confirmed yet."
Zhao Xi was somewhat frustrated. The Second Prince concealed it well. Although the southwest had heavy military presence, it was a region filled wi...
Chapter 2117: Only Telling County Princess
Shu Yu felt that this might be true. Regardless of whether it was based on a feeling, it was still a clue, better than searching aimlessly.
"Have you discussed this matter with Lu Wu?" Shu You asked.
Qiao Rou shook her head, "No....
Chapter 2116: Qiao Rou's Letter
Although Shu Yu had her doubts, she asked, "Who is this madam?"
The gatekeeper replied, "She said her name is Qiao Rou, the wife of Inspector Lu."
Lu Wu's wife? Shu You didn't expect it to be Qiao Rou. While she knew both Qiao Rou and Lu Wu...
