Chapter 303 Getting Gobbled Up by Wolves
Yan Shu could laugh, but Zhu Yu couldn't quite manage a smile.

She was initially somewhat skeptical about the fact that Yan Shu and Lu Zhang hadn't seen each other's faces, thinking that Yan Shu might genuinely not have seen Lu Zhang's appearance at all, but Lu Zhang might not have.

Looking at the two of them now, they really do look like complete strangers.

She sighed silently. It was really fortunate that they didn't recognize each other, otherwise neither of them would be laughing right now!
Knowing Yan Shu's personality, Zhu Yu was afraid that if she were caught red-handed, she might get angry and whip Lu Zhang.

Whether Lu Qing had similar concerns or simply had something to say to Lu Zhang, she quietly urged him to go into the room.

After the two left, Yan Shu looked at Lu Zhang's slightly reserved departing figure with amusement and asked Zhu Yu, "I thought the people of your Shuo Kingdom were not much different from our Jie Kingdom, all with a carefree personality. I didn't expect there to be such a shy person among them!"

"He's not from Shuo Kingdom, he's from Jin Kingdom." Zhu Yu didn't dare to tell the truth and could only give a vague reply.

Upon hearing that they were from Jin Kingdom, Yan Shu's expression immediately changed. She waved her hand and said, "Then I'd better go back to my room! The Jin Kingdom people you know are probably from the imperial court. If they know that 'wolf-eaten' guy, I don't want to cause you any trouble!"

With that, she hurriedly turned around and went back to her room.

Zhu Yu was both amused and exasperated, too embarrassed to tell Yan Shu that the person she had just spoken of was the one "who got robbed by wolves."

Yan Shu returned to her room, and Madam Miao was about to leave as well.

"Mother, where are you going?" Zhu Yu asked, somewhat puzzled.

Madam Miao smiled and patted Zhu Yu's hand: "Now that the Prince and his son-in-law have returned, there's nothing to worry about in our manor."

They've been away for so long, and you've been thinking about your son-in-law, and he's been thinking about you too. You two should have a good talk.

Mother has been staying at Chestnut Garden these past few days, causing Miss Yanshu a lot of trouble. Let her get some rest.

Unable to persuade her to stay, Zhu Yu had no choice but to follow Miao's wishes and watch her leave.

Aside from being weak-willed, her mother was truly impeccable; she always thought of her own needs and was kind-hearted.

This time, the Pang family has completely collapsed. Putting aside everything else, at least in the Shuo Prince's mansion, she no longer has to worry about anyone bullying her or finding excuses to cause trouble for her mother.

As for anything else, Zhu Yu had no other thoughts.

She knew very well that her mother had no feelings for her father.

She initially submitted to Pang Yuzhen because she was being manipulated, and her subsequent avoidance was to prevent her and her daughter from being targeted and harassed.

At this age, it's likely that Ms. Miao has no other ambitions and just wants to enjoy her retirement.

Unfortunately, although the crisis in the Shuo region has been temporarily resolved, the overall situation in the world is far from settled, and they do not know what kind of situation they will encounter in the future.

For Miao, staying in the Prince Shuo's mansion is probably the safest option right now.

Zhu Yu watched as Miao's figure walked away and disappeared around a corner before returning to the courtyard. As soon as he looked up, he saw Yan Daoxin carrying a bowl of water out and handing it to Fu Lu, indicating that Fu Lu should take the bowl of water into Lu Zhang's room.

Seeing that Zhu Yu had just seen Miao off, Yan Daoxin walked over and spoke to her: "I heard from Fu Lu that you used the medicine I left behind to knock out all the Pang family's thugs in the yard."

How was it? Was the effect particularly good? Did the poison I prescribed, which made it feel like I was covered in ant bites, work? How was the effect?

Seeing Yan Daoxin's expectant eyes, Zhu Yu laughed and waved his hand helplessly: "It's a pity, we won't have the chance to use that good thing this time."

Those who were arrested were almost entirely devoid of loyalty; as soon as they sensed the situation was turning against them, they confessed everything.

That Right Chief Secretary Yang Chengxuan remained stubborn until you returned, but I felt that things had come to this point, and there was no need to waste any more time on him.”

"That's true..." Yan Daoxin looked disappointed and sighed. "Fine, then I'll leave it with you for now. When you need it, remember to check how effective it is and how quickly it works!"

"Sure, sure." Zhu Yu nodded, agreeing readily.

She glanced at Lu Zhang's room and whispered to Yan Daoxin, "Did you brew the medicine so quickly just now?"

Yan Daoxin curled her lips and snorted softly, "Why go through all that trouble of decocting medicine?"

I simply went back to my room, poured some warm water, and dissolved one pill.

"What are its effects?" Zhu Yu asked, somewhat curious.

"Of course it's good for his health!" Yan Daoxin replied with righteous indignation. "He's been traveling and injured, and I'm worried that he might not be able to sleep well in a new place and it might delay the healing of his wounds, so I'm helping him get a good night's sleep."

This was the first time Zhu Yu had heard someone explain the word "drug" so sincerely, and he couldn't help but laugh.

A short while later, Lu Qing came out of the room and saw Zhu Yu waiting for her, so she quickly walked over to him.

“He’s already asleep,” he walked up to Zhu Yu, naturally taking her hand in his own, and asked Yan Daoxin, “What dosage did you use? How long can it last?”

Yan Daoxin shrugged: "Let's see how his physique is."

Anyway, even if you give it to the talisman to drink, it will sleep until noon tomorrow. Even if someone carries it out and sells it like a calf, it won't wake up!

Zhu Yu laughed so hard his shoulders shook.

Yan Daoxin's dislike for Lu Zhang was truly impossible to hide.

In this respect, he and Yan Shu might have a lot in common.

Yan Daoxin had been traveling for many days and was quite tired. After chatting casually for a few more minutes, he yawned and went back to his room to rest.

Lu Qing returned to his room, sat down at the table, poured two cups of tea, and then looked at Zhu Yuzai carefully before reaching out to stroke her cheek: "Madam looks much thinner; it seems you've been suffering from longing."

"Also?" Zhu Yu raised an eyebrow and glanced at him, then grabbed his hand and pressed it back onto the table. "We can save these things for later. Tell me first, what's going on with Lu Zhang?"

How come when King Yi arrived in Shuo Kingdom, he became some kind of 'General Yi'?
"Do you know how scared I was when I saw him walk in just now?"

Lu Qing turned around and once again enveloped Zhu Yu's hand in her own palm: "I originally wanted to tell you about this matter earlier, but I couldn't find a suitable time. In addition, whether it would work out or not was still unknown at the time, so I didn't mention it."

Actually, after Lu Chao sent the letter last time, I had already given the instructions on this matter in my reply. That's why I stopped you from leaving in a huff when you were about to get away.
