Shu Yu wasn't aware that a steady stream of visitors were coming to her home. She had gone outside the city to see off Qi Lie.
After returning to the city, she hadn't gone far when she was stopped by someone.
Seeing Ren Huai's somewhat anxious expression, Shu Yu smiled slightly and said, "Young Master Ren, is there something you need from me?"
Ren Huai's smile was somewhat strained, but he still spoke as gently as possible, "Monarch Lu Xiang, a few days ago I had Steward Xu reach out to you, hoping to arrange a time to discuss the melon seeds matter with you. However, you were busy then, and I didn't want to disturb you further. Might you be available now?"
Shu Yu could easily guess the reason for his change of attitude. The matter of the palace purchasing sunflower oil had been known, even if she didn't deliberately spread the word.
Ren Huai seemed to be feeling the urgency by now.
