The three young masters couldn’t be bothered to take a shower. They quickly put on dry clothes and returned to the peach blossom forest.
They all felt that the jade plate must have fallen into the water.
Therefore, they asked a few servants to search the water again. However, it was already very late, and the water was dark. How could they find it?
They searched for a long time but still couldn’t find any trace. The problem was that they didn’t dare alert others about this. Even when Lord Qi of the Peach Blossom Forest heard the news and asked them what happened, they only said they had lost something and didn’t say it was a jade plate. They also refused Lord Qi’s help.
They couldn’t find it, so they could only return empty-handed. They didn’t sleep much the whole night, trying to recall where they had dropped the jade plate.
As they thought about it, they suspected Shu Yu and the others.
That jade plate had either fallen into the water or had been stolen by them. They even felt that the latter was more likely.
Therefore, after the three woke up today, they went to the Peach Blossom Fores again to ensure the jade place was not there. They asked the servants to continue searching in the water while the three came to the Ding family.
On the one hand, they asked the Ding family to help investigate Shu Yu’s residence. On the other hand, they wanted the Eldest Young Master Ding to help them deal with Shu Yu.
They were reluctant to give up. If it weren’t for Shu Yu and the others, they wouldn’t have lost money and their reputations, let alone their jade plate.
At this moment, standing at the entrance of the Ding family, the three young masters were still very resentful.
Fortunately, they knew how to control their temper. After adjusting their expressions, they knocked on the door.
They were all from wealthy families in the neighboring county. They had brought gifts to visit so they wouldn’t be left waiting outside.
The gatekeeper ran in to report. Not long after, the three of them were invited in.
At this time, Shu Yu had already been pulled into her courtyard by Ding Yuehua. Without waiting for Shu Yu to speak, she said impatiently, “Shu Yu, come over quickly. I happen to have something to tell you.”
“What is it?”
“Jiang Li, the Third Young Master Jiang, who coveted you that I told you the last time, has met with an accident. Have you heard of this?”
Forget about whether she had heard it or not. Shu Yu did it herself. Of course, she knew it.
However, she still nodded and asked uncertainly, “You’re talking about Third Young Master Jiang’s head being smashed?”
“Yes.” Ding Yuehua was overjoyed. She felt good when the Jiang family was in trouble.
These few days, she had been entertaining herself with the gossip of the Jiang family. She was in a good mood.
Shu Yu replied, “I have heard of it. Since you told me about Third Young Master Jiang’s thoughts that day, I’ve been paying attention to the Jiang family. I thought that if that man came looking for me, I would have no choice but to run to the county government for help. In the end, I heard the news that Jiang Li had been beaten up. Honestly, although it wasn’t very kind, I was happy in my heart.”
“That’s a kind act. How is that not kind? He had done too much evil, so it was normal for people to seek revenge on him.”
Shu Yu was worried. “I’m just afraid he’ll covet me again after he recovers.”
“No, let me tell you. The Jiang family is in chaos now. He has no intention of finding trouble with you.” Most people might not know about the internal strife in the Jiang family, but Ding Yuehua was very clear about it. Jiang Li’s good days were coming to an end. She immediately reassured Shu Yu.
Shu Yu heaved a sigh of relief. “I’m relieved to hear that.”
Ding Yuehua served Shu Yu with a cup of tea before asking, “Why did you come to look for me today?”
