Chapter 982 Monarch Lu Xiang is too rude
The matter concerned her own family, so Shu Yu was naturally unable to sit still.
She immediately wanted to follow and take a look. Kong Zhiyou hesitated for a moment and quickly pulled her back, "Monarch Lu Xiang, this is the Fan family’s internal affair. It’s inappropriate for us to interfere."
No, this wasn’t solely a matter for the Fan family. If the blueprint truly stemmed from her, she absolutely needed to see for herself.
"Yuehua might be in trouble. I’ll go check and come right back."
Shu Yu couldn’t wait any longer. With a quick motion, she freed herself and ran out. Ying Xi followed her immediately.
Kong Zhiyou could only watch her back as she stomped her foot, "Why did she actually go?"
She took a couple of steps toward the door, but then stopped again, ultimately returning to her original seat to wait.
The Xilan Garden was left with only her, her maid Qiuju, and a few old women guarding the entrance.
With no outsiders around, Qiuju couldn’t help but whisper, "Miss, why is this Monarch Lu Xiang so inconsiderate? How can she knowingly go and inspect when something unpleasant is happening in another’s household?"
Kong Zhiyou glared at her, "Stop spouting nonsense." She sighed, "You need to have some empathy for her. Monarch Lu Xiang used to be a farmer’s daughter. You know how the countryside is – wherever there’s a commotion, those gossipy women flock there, eager to watch others’ misfortunes. There’s no such thing as propriety. She still has some habits she hasn’t adapted to. After all, she is now a monarch, and her identity is different. Surrounded by friends like us, she’ll naturally change over time."
After saying this, she warned Qiuju again, "In the future, don’t say anything about someone being inconsiderate. Don’t forget that your young mistress relied heavily on her help back then. I’m genuinely interested in forging a closer relationship with her. If something like this happens again in the future, and she doesn’t understand the rules, I’ll stop her and advise her. Monarch Lu Xiang is sharp. She’ll figure it out quickly."
