Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio | Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
After the Lu family parted ways with Lord Qi, they left the peach blossom forest.
Lanhua didn’t say a word from the beginning to the end. Only when she was alone with her family, she said softly, “Third Uncle, Sister Yu, I’m sorry. I, I’ve implicated you…”
Shu Yu saw that she seemed to be frightened. The girl had also suffered an undeserved disaster, after all.
Although Lanhua was the same age as her, Shu Yu still took out two candies from her purse after thinking about it. She handed them over, “Do you want some?”
There were two children at home, so Shu Yu was already used to carrying a handful of sweets with her. Occasionally, she would give some to the two little children who were reluctant to eat the candies due to their scarcity.
Lanhua was stunned and raised her slightly red and swollen eyes.
She looked at Shu Yu, then lowered her head to look at the two candies. She pursed her lips and asked, “You, you don’t blame me?”
“Why should I blame you?”
“For causing trouble, and being, being indecent,” As Lanhua spoke, she lowered her head.
Shu Yu was surprised, “Why would you think that?”
“I, I specially dressed up before coming to the county today. I also… also mimicked your hairstyle. If I dressed up the same as before, they might not have taken a fancy to me at all, and these things wouldn’t have happened.”
Shu Yu’s expression became strange, “So you’re saying that you mimicked my hairstyle, and I’m indecent?”
Lanhua was taken aback. She raised her head and waved her hands hurriedly, “No, no, I- I didn’t mean that. I didn’t say that you’re indecent. I meant that your hairstyle is very nice. I- I meant that I…”
She was so anxious that she was about to burst into tears again.
Shu Yu reached out and patted her shoulder, “Alright, alright. I understand. Everyone loves to be pretty. There’s nothing wrong with dressing up. You’re the victim. Those few young masters were just asking for it. They only came to provoke you because they saw that you were easy to bully. Even if you dress up like a fairy, it’s not a reason for them to stop you from leaving, understand?”
Shu Yu did notice Lanhua’s outfit. It was exactly the same as when she just came back to acknowledge her family.
It was normal for girls at this age to want to be pretty. When they met that time, Shu Yu knew that Lanhua was actually feeling quite sour.
However, as long as the other party did not have any bad intentions, Shu Yu did not really care.
She didn’t think that Lanhua was targeted by the three young masters because she was well-dressed. It was ultimately because those three thought that Lanhua was a girl with no background. After all, there were so many beautiful girls in the peach blossom forest, but those young masters didn’t stop them.
Lanhua’s tears welled up. She suddenly hugged Shu Yu and leaned on her shoulder as she cried, “Yu, Sister Yu, I was so afraid I thought I would die just now!”
She turned her head to look at Lu Sanzhu. Her Third Uncle, who was now blinded by joy, had been smiling foolishly until now.
When he felt Shu Yu’s gaze, he hurriedly said, “That’s right, that’s right. Lanhua, don’t cry anymore. Why are you talking about implication? Look at how you’ve implicated me! I have found a job! If your parents knew about this, they would probably be furious. Hahahahaha!”
Lanhua’s crying stopped abruptly. She let go of Shu Yu and turned her head, looking at Lu Sanzhu with some resentment.
Shu Yu was also speechless. She couldn’t care less about these two idiots anymore. Without saying anything, she pulled Dahu away.
Soon, they returned to Liufang Alley. Lu Sanzhu was too excited and ran up to knock on the door first.
“Mother, Honey, open the door, we’re back.”
His knocks on the courtyard door were loud and consistent, and curses quickly came from inside..
