Chapter 897: Farewell to Ding Yuehua
Shu Yu carried the gift box and walked towards the Fan Family. There weren't many pedestrians on this road, and since she would be living here in the future, she strolled leisurely, taking in the surroundings.
When she arrived at the entrance of the Fan Family, Shu Yu looked up and assessed the surroundings. Mmm, it wasn't as grand as her own mansion.
She was about to approach with the invitation when a carriage drove out from a side gate and stopped at the main entrance. Just then, Ding Yuehua hurriedly came out as if she was about to board the carriage and leave.
Shu Yu was taken aback and was about to call out to her when Ding Yuehua also happened to see her. She quickly got off the footstool and excitedly ran over.
"Ah Yu!"
"Where are you going?"
Ding Yuehua didn't have time to answer her; she just grabbed Shu Yu's arm and looked her up and down. "It's been so long, and you haven't changed at all. When did you come back? You're amazing, becoming a village lord without making a sound. When I heard about it, I couldn't believe it. I was actually planning to look for you today, but when I arrived at the entrance of your shop, I was immediately pushed out. Quickly tell me what happened. The announcement mentioned something about a heat pack..."
"Wait, wait, you have so many questions, how can I answer them all? Besides, we can't talk about it here at the main entrance, can we?"
Ding Yuehua slapped her forehead. "Yes, yes, look at me, I'm getting ahead of myself. Let's go inside first and take our time..."
She was about to turn around while still holding Shu Yu's arm when she suddenly remembered that she was supposed to go out. She apologized, "Ah Yu, I'm sorry, I received news that my mother bumped her head. I have to go back to the Ding Family and check on her."
"She bumped her head? Is it serious?"
Ding Yuehua shook her head. "The servant who came to report said it's not a big deal, but I'm still worried and want to go check on her."
"That's only natural. You should go back quickly. We can talk about it another day." Shu Yu spoke and raised her hand to hand over the gift box. "By the way, this is a specialty item I brought back from the southwest. Please accept it."
Ding Yuehua had the servant behind her accept the gift box and then frowned as she looked at Shu Yu. "You're already a village lord. You should have a servant with you. It's not fitting for a village lord to personally carry such heavy things. People will be astonished if they hear about it."
This was the second person reminding her to buy a servant. Shu Yu helplessly said, "I was planning to buy one. I just returned not long ago, and there have been a lot of things going on, so it got delayed. Fortunately, now that I have a place to stay, I'll go to the medical clinic tomorrow morning to find someone."
"Tomorrow? Then I'll accompany you. It'll give us a chance to talk. I have so many things I want to ask you. Tell me where you're currently staying so I can pick you up early tomorrow morning."
Shu Yu thought that Ding Yuehua was more familiar with Jiangyuan County, so it would be good to have her accompany her. She didn't refuse and left her address before bidding farewell. "Alright, it's settled then. You need to go back and see your mother first. Please go."
Ding Yuehua felt somewhat guilty. She knew that Shu Yu had walked here, so she let her get on the carriage. Once she returned to her mother's house, she would have the coachman take Shu Yu back to Liufang Lane.
The two bid farewell at the entrance of the Ding Family, and Shu Yu headed home.
Originally, she thought that after meeting Ding Yuehua, it would probably be evening, so she hadn't made any further plans. However, it was still early, so she decided to visit Doctor Xu at the medical clinic.
