Shu Yu received the news while she was harvesting sunflowers at the Manor.
She was wearing a dusty gray coverall, her hair was gathered and wrapped in a cloth headscarf, holding a scythe to cut down the sunflower stems. With each chop, her movements were as straightforward as those of any other farmer.
In such attire, no one could recognize her in the crowd.
The messenger was Xia Yan, a servant of Meng Yunzheng, who couldn't find her for quite some time in the sunflower field.
Xiang Weinan had special channels, and as soon as the news was confirmed in the Capital, someone hastened to inform him even before the official documents arrived.
Xiang Weinan immediately found Meng Yunzheng to discuss the matter, and the latter sent Xia Yan to inform Shu Yu.
Shu Yu came out of the sunflower field and was silent for a while after hearing the news. Yet, she felt a sense of "it's finally here" within her heart.
