Chapter 700: Chapter 700: Reunion with Shu Feng Chapter 700: Chapter 700: Reunion with Shu Feng “How is it you?!”
Shu Feng was shocked and couldn’t help but take a step back, stepping directly on the foot of the first Madam who was standing behind him.
The first Madam screamed, quickly grabbing the arm of the eldest daughter behind her to steady herself just in time.
However, the next moment, when she saw Shu Yu, who was seated at the desk and registering names with a pen in hand, she nearly fell back again.
“You, you, you, Lu Shuyu, how are you here?”
Shu Yu glanced at them nonchalantly, “What’s so strange about that? I am now the steward in charge of registration here at the Manor. Where else would I be?”
“You are a steward? How did you become a steward?” The Shu family members collectively gasped in astonishment.
How did she become a steward? What was going on?
Shu Yu waved her hand impatiently, “What does it matter to you how I became a steward? Hurry up and register; there are others waiting behind you.”
Indeed, the people in line behind them began to urge them, “Hurry up, it’s so cold. Why stand here in the cold wind?”
Shu Feng, almost subconsciously, stepped out of the way and out of the queue.
The Shu family members were all dazed at this point, and after being pushed by the people behind them, they too moved aside.
Shu Yu scoffed lightly, looking up at the next person in line, “What’s your name?”
Shu Yu found his name and began registering again methodically.
After a few more registrations, she glanced up and saw the Shu family members all standing beside the door, not rejoining the queue or coming forward to register, just staring at her.
Shu Yu didn’t care. After all, daily rations were distributed based on work done. If they were late and did less work, the food they received would naturally be worse and less. She couldn’t be bothered to remind them.
Turning her attention away, Shu Yu continued to the next person.
But the members of the Shu family kept their eyes fixed on her, unable to accept that this nemesis they had always despised had become the steward in charge of their registration and ration distribution.
How could this be? They simply couldn’t believe it.
Why did all the good fortune fall upon her? Why?
“What do we do now? This wretched girl has become a steward. If she wants to take revenge on us, won’t it be easy?”
“How in the world did she manage to become a steward?”
“Big brother, what do we do now?” the first Madam anxiously looked at her eldest son.
The others also turned their gaze toward Shu Feng, who had gradually calmed down.
After looking at Shu Yu for a while, he finally took a deep breath and said, “You all stay here, I’ll go find Officer Wang.”
Shu Feng glanced at Shu Yu one more time, saw she was engrossed in her registration, unaware of him, and immediately had the other members of the Shu family block him as he hurried off.
Wang Changdong was watching the distributions of farm tools on the other side. When Shu Feng approached, Wang got a fright and immediately became unhappy, “What are you doing? Take your tools and go line up back there.”
“Officer, you misunderstand. I have, uh, a question for you.” Shu Feng forced a smile, but inwardly he was cursing bitterly.
A tiger that has fallen to the plains is bullied by dogs. When he was the magistrate’s son, when did he ever need to talk to someone in such a pleading tone?
Wang Changdong was impatient, “What is it?”
Shu Feng didn’t inquire about Shu Yu directly but chose to start from the angle of the whereabouts of Madam Hou, the concubine.
“It’s , our Madam Hou and the Sixth Young Lady, they disappeared suddenly two days ago and haven’t appeared until today.”
