Her brother taking a liking to Shu Yu was Shu Yu’s good fortune, so how dare she refuse?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Consequently, she looked upon Shu Yu with great disfavor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shu Yu understood; no wonder that back when the Shu family was still flourishing, the Shu family’s young ladies did not foster a friendship with this county magistrate; apparently, the Shu family did not think much of her either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aside from County Magistrate Zhang, no one from the Zhang family had entered the court to hold official positions; they lacked background and influence, and even County Magistrate Zhang had nothing more than a nominal title.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Shu family had always been shrewd, seeking benefits while avoiding harm; why would they waste time on her?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiang Weinan noticed her silence, \"You don’t need to worry about that County Magistrate Zhang. If she tries to make things difficult for you, just fend her off. Besides, in a couple of days, she probably won’t dare trouble you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shu Yu was puzzled, \"What do you mean by that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiang Weinan, however, had an air of mystery, \"You’ll understand on the day of your coming-of-age ceremony.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You really...\" Shu Yu wanted to inquire further, but Xiang Weinan impatiently waved his hand, \"Alright, alright, you should quickly go home; I have other matters to attend to. I’ll come to congratulate you in a few days when your family entertains guests.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, Shu Yu was ushered out by Xiang Weinan, leaving her both amused and exasperated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How annoying is it to speak in such a roundabout way, can’t one possess a basic sense of decency and morality?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Standing at the gate of the county office, Shu Yu ground her teeth angrily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ying Xi, standing beside her with a dagger in hand, inquired, \"Miss, shall we storm in?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Appearing ready to follow orders at any moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shu Yu, \"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Forget it, with his unscrupulous manner, he’ll end up in trouble sooner or later.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After saying this, she gave the county office one last glance, snorted coldly, and turned to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since Xiang Weinan mentioned that she need not worry about County Magistrate Zhang any longer, she decided to focus on preparing for her coming-of-age ceremony.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With her family placing so much importance on it, she inevitably felt a growing sense of tension and urgency.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Early the following morning, it was finally her birthday.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shu Yu was still somewhat sleepy when the old lady and Madam Ruan came knocking on her door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yu, get up quickly; let your mother and sister dress you up, the guests will arrive soon.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shu Yu yawned and glanced at the sky, it seemed to still be early dawn, just around 5 a.m to 7 a.m with the sky only faintly lit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The knocking continued outside the door, \"Yu, are you up yet?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Up, up,\" Shu Yu hurriedly threw on some clothes to open the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Madam Ruan held a box in her hand, which contained her new clothes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She placed the clothes on the table and then turned to those outside, saying, \"Quickly bring the water to the bathroom.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Lu family’s servants entered, carrying heated water; the bathroom was on the other side of Shu Yu’s room and could be accessed directly from the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ceramic squat toilet that the Fan family helped prepare earlier was also inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was renovated to resemble a modern bathroom, with blue stone slab flooring, both clean and convenient.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The servants poured hot water into the bathtub, and Madam Ruan urged her to bathe and change clothes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shu Yu, initially calm, began to feel nervous under their bustling promptings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After bathing, she changed into her ceremony attire, had something to eat, and arranged her hair, and then indeed, not much time was left.\u003C\u002Fp>",686,"2026-06-05T20:55:07.339Z",1,"novelbin.me","1553d41bb0a9b5ccc38e35316e66879b040515525ad84dc9bf243d931b7f3330","the-ace-bigshot-becomes-a-farmgirl-chapter-1039","the-ace-bigshot-becomes-a-farmgirl-chapter-1037",2003,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-ace-bigshot-becomes-a-farmgirl-cover.jpg"]
