“Leave.”
Shangguan Linger took a deep breath and said to her servant, “Qiuer, let’s go.”
She still had to go to the Lu family’s restaurant to wait for Fu Xianyun and Yu Linglong.
Compared to dealing with Huier, how to marry Chu Sihan was more important.
“Yes!”
Qiuer glanced at Huier, pity flashing across her eyes.
—————
When Lu Sheng reached the restaurant, there were already a few tables full of guests.
“Miss Lu, you’re back? I heard from Shopkeeper He that you went on a long trip and thought you wouldn’t be back anytime soon.”
A customer who had just stepped into the restaurant saw Lu Sheng at the counter and hurried up to greet her with a smile.
When Lu Sheng saw who it was, she hurriedly stood up and smiled. “Mdm Yu, you’re here? I went to the capital a few days ago and just came back recently. Didn’t Miss Yu come along with you?”
The customer in front of her was the Madam of the Yu Mansion, who was also Yu Mingyue’s and Yu Yang’s stepmother.
Although she was their stepmother, she was more like their biological mother.
When the ex-Madam of the Yu Mansion passed away, Yu Yang was only five years old and Yu Mingyue was only three years old. Both of them were raised by this Mdm Yu, so the two of them were very close to this stepmother.
Mdm Yu smiled and said, “Mingyue has something on and went out early in the morning. She must have gone to look at flowers with her friend.”
“Really?”
Lu Sheng smiled and quickly led her to her seat. “I wonder what Mdm Yu would like to eat?”
“Oh, our Madam said she wants to eat those dumplings and lean meat porridge.”
The servant quickly answered for Mdm Yu.
“Okay.”
Lu Sheng smiled and said, “Please wait a moment, Mdm Yu. I’ll get someone to prepare it for you now.”
Mdm Yu smiled and nodded.
“What a pity!”
Lu Sheng had just left when Mdm Yu suddenly spoke regretfully.
The servant was puzzled. “Mdm, what’s a pity?”
Mdm Yu did not answer the servant’s question directly. Instead, she smiled and asked, “What do you think of Miss Lu?”
“Very good!” The servant thought for a while and continued, “She has a straightforward personality and is very warm and hospitable. She’s also very good-looking and is a rare beauty.”
Mdm Yu smiled. “It’s a pity that Miss Lu is already engaged. Otherwise, she would be a good match for our Ah Yang.”
Ever since she met Lu Sheng last time, she intended to pair her and Yu Yang up.
Hence, after returning, she asked Yu Yang how he felt about Lu Sheng.
Unexpectedly, Yu Yang said that Lu Sheng already had a fiancé, but he did not tell her who Lu Sheng’s fiancé was.
The servant was enlightened and hurriedly praised, “I wonder which family’s young master is so lucky to marry such a good woman like Miss Lu!”
“Yes!”
Mdm Yu sighed faintly. She felt regretful that her son had missed out on such a good girl.
“Eh?”
She was about to retract her gaze when two people walked in.
“What’s wrong, Mdm?”
The servant asked suspiciously when she heard her voice.
Mdm Yu narrowed her eyes. “Quick, take a look. Is that Miss Shangguan?”
The servant looked over and nodded immediately. “Yes, it’s Miss Shangguan.”
The Yu Mansion was not far from the Shangguan Mansion, so the servant naturally knew Shangguan Linger.
Mdm Yu smiled faintly. “I didn’t expect Miss Shangguan to come to the restaurant for a meal.”
Although Mdm Yu did not know much about Shangguan Linger, she had heard of her before.
She heard that this woman had outstanding taste and did not like anyone from Huang Yang Town.
However, she was fond of Lord Chu. She even boasted that she would never marry anyone other than Lord Chu.
Seventeen or eighteen years had passed, but they had not heard of the Chu Mansion’s intention to marry the Shangguan family.
