Chapter 909: Zhao Xi's Medicine

Da Ya and Shu Yu shared a room, and Shu Yu was present during the incident in the kitchen in the evening.

Da Ya thought that when they were alone together at night, she would ask Shu Yu about it.

However, to her surprise, Shu Yu tidied up and prepared to sleep without saying a word.

On the other hand, Da Ya couldn't hold back and said, "Shu Yu..."

Shu Yu turned around. "What's wrong?"

"N-nothing." She decided not to say anything.

Although they had agreed not to interfere with Da Ya's decision, as a considerate younger sister, Shu Yu felt that she should offer some guidance when Da Ya was feeling lost.

After all, although Da Ya had been engaged before, she was still inexperienced in matters of the heart.

"Sis, if you think Zhao Xi is good, then just observe for now. If you don't like him, you can talk to him directly without worrying about anything else."

Da Ya was taken aback. She did have concerns.

"Shu Yu, I've been engaged before."

"So what? Zhao Xi doesn't mind. He knows about Zhang Shu's situation, and he even helped when you divorced him. Zhao Xi did his part."

Da Ya was astonished. "What are you saying? He helped?"

"Otherwise, how do you think Zhang Shu and Zhou Jian were caught in bed together? Do you think they wouldn't have noticed if so many people barged into their room? They weren't dead; they were still committing an unfaithful act. Normal people would immediately hide at the slightest noise outside, right?"

Moreover, it wasn't even late at night. According to Zhang Shu and Zhou Jian's daily routine, they should have already been awake.

Da Ya's mouth hung open. "So..."

"So, they were drugged and couldn't wake up. Zhao Xi provided the medicine, given by Meng Yunzheng."

Da Ya had known about Zhao Xi pretending to be ignorant for a long time, but she didn't know that master Meng and Shu Yu had conspired behind her back to help her so early on.

Shu Yu held Da Ya's hand. "So, sis, you don't need to worry about these things. If Zhao Xi cared that you had been engaged before, why would he say those things to you? What you need to do now is to think carefully about whether you are happy and comfortable being with him. Understanding your own feelings is enough."

Da Ya opened her mouth but couldn't bring herself to speak.

Was she happy being with Zhao Xi? Did she feel at ease?

She lay back on the bed, recalling their journey together to the southwest, thinking about their interactions in Zhengdao Village. Scenes played back in her mind one by one.

Da Ya didn't fall asleep until very late, and when Shu Yu woke up the next day, she could still see dark circles under Da Ya's eyes.

She didn't ask further; she couldn't help with matters of the heart.

Shu Yu got up, washed her face, and prepared herself. Ding Yuehua would come to pick her up soon, so she needed to be ready.

The other members of the Lu family were also busy. Lu Erbai had to go to the big mansion, Ruan Shi and Da Ya were going to the tailoring workshop, and the old lady was taking Da Hu to see Master Wen. San Ya was going to study medicine. The entire family had clear arrangements.

However, before the Lu family could leave the house, there was a commotion outside the courtyard.

The old lady went to open the door, and when Shu Yu peeked out, she realized that the neighbors from Liufang Lane were all coming.

While others didn't know which house the Lu family had rented, the neighbors in Liufang Lane knew.

When they found out that Shu Yu had become the village lord, they wanted to visit and congratulate them yesterday, but the Lu family wasn't home. So today, taking advantage of the early hours, they all came to express their well-wishes.
