Chapter 780: Chapter 780 Second Master Shu’s Plan Chapter 780: Chapter 780 Second Master Shu’s Plan Shu Yu initially didn’t pay much attention, but upon getting closer she realized the two people were the second master of the Shu family and the Second Madam.
How did they come here?
Shu Yu raised her eyebrows, approached them, and asked, “Are you here looking for me?”
Second Master had a complex expression, although he saw this adopted daughter of the main house every day, apart from registering her name each time, they acted as if they did not know each other at all.
This was the first time he had taken the initiative to see her since being exiled to this place.
On the other hand, Second Madam managed a strained smile on her face, “Third Sister…”
“Better call me Lady Lu, isn’t that what everyone calls me at the Manor?”
Second Madam’s expression stiffened slightly, but given the circumstances, she had no choice but to correct herself, “Lady Lu, we came here today wanting to inquire about Madam Hou and Sixth Young Lady.”
Shu Yu raised an eyebrow, “Madam Hou?”
Second Master finally coughed lightly and spoke, “Yes, it’s almost Chinese New Year. After all, Madam Hou is my concubine and Sixth Young Lady is my daughter. Now that the Shu family has fallen into hard times, the new year should still be celebrated together. Since you know where she is, please pass a message for me, ask her to come home. This will always be her home, I am her husband, and I am my daughter’s father.”
Shu Yu looked at him incredulously, “I should pass the message?”
Second Master quickly changed his request, “If you don’t have time, you can just give me the address, and I will go find her myself. After all, it was my slap that made them leave initially. It has been a long time, and I have reflected seriously. I was indeed too impulsive at the time. Now that I wish for her return, it’s sincere for me to ask her myself.”
Even prisoners in Righteous Dao Village get a two-and-a-half-day break for the New Year.
Starting from the afternoon of New Year’s Eve, it ends on the second day of the lunar month, and work resumes formally on the third day, which is relatively humane.
After all, not every prisoner exiled here is penniless and struggling for meals like the Shu family.
Some have decent familial wealth, and relatives who care about them send them money.
So during the New Year, they could also go to the county town to buy some festive goods, allowing themselves to have a good celebration.
Even for prisoners, don’t they deserve some hope?
Second Master thought, as long as Shu Yu gives him the address, he could use these holidays to go find Madam Hou and her daughter.
After all, his family had no money, there was no need for them to prepare for the New Year.
But finding Madam Hou would be different, her current life must certainly be better than anyone in the Shu family.
Second Madam also spoke from the side, “Lady Lu, there’s a common saying, better dismantle ten temples than destroy one marriage. After all, Madam Hou is Lord’s concubine, and she must still hold him in her heart; it was anger that made her leave definitively. But thinking back, especially during such a significant festival, she definitely still wants to be with the Lord. Not to mention Sixth Young Lady, who will be just twelve after the New Year, ultimately she desires her father’s affection. Don’t you think?”
Shu Yu sized up Second Madam, “So, it turns out that Madam Hou and Second Master had a marriage?”
Second Madam’s complexion changed slightly, Madam Hou was worthy too? Only she had a legitimate marital alliance with the Lord, what was Madam Hou? She was merely putting up with humiliation to get Madam Hou to return; is Lu Shuyu feigning ignorance or is she genuinely naive?
