“That is because Lady Chaoyan is engaged to Lord Huai, and she is going to become the future Princess Consort! She is from the imperial family, and Prime Minister Chu is the top officer. Lady Chaoyan often interacts with the Elder Miss of the Chu Family, so they have a good relationship with each other.”

“…”

“And Prime Minister Chu is older than Lady Chaoyan, so of course she has to meet him when she is here,” Qu Hua said proudly.

Those poor-minded people kept mocking her, but she had been to the capital numerous times and knew more than they did!

Well… She was certain that Lady Chaoyan and Lord Huai were engaged, as for the other things, she wasn’t sure. Yet she told the story just to mock the other people. Well, noble ladies always hung out with each other, and she was not going to ask whether Lady Chaoyan had a good relationship with the Elder Miss of the Chu Family.

Qu Hua knew how to play a trick at the moment. She was smiling brightly.

Shanhu’s grandma, who had looked so radiant, stiffened when she heard the story.

What was going on? How could she be the future Princess Consort? So why was she here giving her a check up?

The other aunts, who heard the story, felt very embarrassed for Shanhu’s grandma. They would have laughed at Shanhu’s grandma in the past, but the Village Chief told them that Shanhu had established some relationship with the court, so they were a little worried about that. Therefore they stayed silent rather than laugh.

It took Shanhu’s grandma a long while before she was able to understand what was going on. She had to find a way to get out of this.

She forced herself to say, “In that case, the future Princess Consort accompanied Shanhu here personally because Shanhu is appreciated by the capable people in the capital. He is being treated well by a lord, so he is going to have a promising future where he can marry any girl he wants in the capital.”

The other aunts were enlightened when they heard what Shanhu’s grandma said.

They added. “That makes sense!”

“If he can work for Lord Huai, he will have a promising future and he can marry any kind of girl he wants.” One of the aunts added.

Shanhu’s grandma showed a proud look on her face again.

That really made sense.

Qu Hua laughed even more loudly.

“You are all so innocent!” Qu Hua said with a laugh. “Why do you think Lady Chaoyan is here? That is because the Village Chief gave Shanhu and the other injured men to Lady Chaoyan’s Xinlin Clinic, and Shanhu, as well as the other men were receiving treatment there! It cost 10,000 liang, and Shanhu’s yet to recover, so she is here to make sure that he is doing well, so that Lord Huai’s reputation will not be tarnished.”

“…”

“Honestly, if anyone else came here, Lady Chaoyan would also keep that person company!”

“…”

“Also, look at how she behaved here. She did not spend time drinking tea here, but went to Prime Minister Chu directly. She must be trying to set up a good relationship with Prime Minister Chu because of Lord Huai!” Qu Hua almost burst into laughter.

“Honestly, you are only limited to speaking of what is happening at Li Village, but do you think that things are so easy and simple in the capital?” Qu Hua was not mocking, but saying straightforwardly.

It was very quiet in the room.

It was very embarrassing.l, so the aunts left with some excuses.

Shanhu’s grandma drove Qu Hua out too.

When Shanhu walked in, he spotted the terrible look on his grandma’s face.

“What is going on?”
