Chapter 1,254 Sent by Hou
Shu Yu was stunned and took the letter. He was a little surprised when he saw the signature on it.
"Is it from Aunt Hou?"
She walked into the yard and opened the letter. After walking to the main room, he took a sip of tea, then unfolded the letter and started reading.
At this sight, her eyes widened suddenly, her face full of disbelief.
Ying Xi saw her expression was different and asked in a low voice, "Miss, what's wrong?"
Shu Yu smiled and shook his head, "It's nothing, I saw the good news."
good news? Ying Xi was puzzled.
Shu Yu didn't tell her that Ying Xi didn't know Aunt Hou or what happened on their way to exile. She said she couldn't understand.
Shu Yu returned to Yuyuan with a smile on her face, and soon went to the warehouse to pick out gifts.
Halfway through picking, the old lady went home.
Hearing that Shu Yu was in the warehouse, he quickly ran over to find her.
"Ayu, what are you looking for?"
"Milk." Shu Yu put down the things in his hands, walked to her side with a smile, helped her sit down and said, "Aunt Hou gave me a letter. She left Lin Zhang Mansion."
The old lady was stunned, "Leaving Lin Zhang Mansion? Isn't she an exiled prisoner? Could it be that she, like you, has made meritorious service and was pardoned?"
"No, she left with Mr. Wan. Now she has become Mr. Wan's concubine and went to the capital with him." Shu Yu was afraid that she would not remember Mr. Wan, so he reminded her later, "When I went to Uncle Yao's house The official from the Ministry of Personnel who read out the imperial edict and returned to Beijing with him is the one you have seen, Mr. Wan."
The old lady thought for a moment and suddenly realized, "Is that the tall, thin official?"
"Yes." Shu Yu nodded, "Speaking of which, I saw Mr. Wan on the way to the capital. At that time, I wondered if he had gone to the southwest. Later, when I came back from the capital, I saw him again on the pier. He, at that time, there was a woman wearing a hat behind him. Seeing that he was busy, he didn't go up to say hello. Now that I think about it, that woman could not be the Hou family, so we just missed it!!"
The old lady felt pity, "What a coincidence, but, how come Mrs. Hou became Lord Wan's concubine?"
Shu Yu also thought it was quite strange. Hou said in the letter that when Lord Wan met Hou for the first time, Hou happened to save him.
Probably because of this connection, Mr. Wan was deeply impressed by the Hou family.
However, Hou's letter did not mention the development of the relationship between the two people, such as when they became ambiguous and when they developed feelings for each other.
It's really not easy to mention such a private matter.
The letter only said that Mr. Wan bought her a lot of things after leaving Lin Zhang's mansion for the first time.
Mrs. Hou thought it was just a thank you gift from Lord Wan, but who knew that a few months ago, Lord Wan would appear again in Lin Zhang Mansion, where she was staying.
This time, he still went to read out the imperial edict and pardon an exiled court official.
But originally the imperial court sent another official from the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and Lord Wan took the initiative to take over the matter.
After he arrived at Linzhang Mansion, he met Hou again. Lord Wan told Mr. Hou about the situation at home and asked Ms. Hou if she would like to return to Beijing with him.
Hou is naturally willing. She was originally the concubine of the second master of the Shu family, but now she has become Master Wan's concubine, which has already raised her status.
What's more, Mr. Wan's wife has passed away and he has not remarried. There were only two aunts in the backyard, and one was his wife who had been with him a long time ago. Calculated, it was cleaner than Second Master Shu's backyard.
