Chapter 781: Chapter 781: Want to See Madam Hou Chapter 781: Chapter 781: Want to See Madam Hou Shu Yu was certainly not foolish; how could she not know their true intentions?
“I’m sorry, I don’t know where Madam Hou and Sixth Young Lady are right now. Ever since they left, I haven’t seen them. So I can’t deliver a message for you, nor can I tell you their address. I’ve let you down.”
Having said that, Shu Yu was about to push open the courtyard gate and go in.
Second Master Shu, however, took a step forward, frowning in great discontent, “How could you possibly not know? You were so close to her.”
“When were we ever close?” Shu Yu couldn’t help but widen her eyes, “While at the Shu family, did you ever see us speak to each other? When I was having a tough time, did you ever see them pay any attention to me? On the road to exile, we took care of each other out of necessity. Now that she has chosen an easy job, and I have beloved family, is there any need to keep in close contact with her? What a joke, get out of my way!”
Shu Yu reached out and pushed him aside. Second Master Shu, being rather frail, staggered with her light push and bumped into Second Madam, causing both of them to tumble to the ground together.
Shu Yu, “…” Are you guys trying to pull a scam?
She glanced down at them from above, didn’t bother to help, and went straight through the door.
When she purposely closed the door, she paused, giving them a warning look, “From now on, don’t block my way with these bizarre questions. It’s very annoying, and I’d rather not talk to you. If you look for me again, don’t blame me for making things difficult for you. As you know, I’m capable of doing so.”
After finishing, she slammed the door shut.
Second Master Shu remained sitting on the ground, pointing at the courtyard gate trembling with anger, “You, just look at her, listen to what she’s saying? She shoved us and didn’t even help, and she even has the audacity to threaten to make things difficult for me. Is she not afraid that I will complain to the authorities?”
Second Madam, of course, didn’t look pleased, but didn’t agree with her husband’s words.
Who could they complain to unless they run into the governor again?
Wang Changdong? Completely useless. In fact, Wang Changdong might even side with Lu Shuyu to teach them a lesson.
Otherwise, why would Lu Shuyu be so arrogant?
Second Madam stood up and helped Second Master Shu as well, dusting the dirt off him and supporting him as they walked back, “Lord, don’t be angry. If she refuses to talk, so be it. Are we out of other options?”
Second Master Shu was taken aback, “Do you have another way?”
“Lord, think about it. Madam Hou and Sixth Young Lady are here without relatives or friends, other than us they only know Lu Shuyu. With the New Year approaching, surely they don’t want to spend it just the two of them. I reckon they will likely spend the New Year with the Lu family. When the time comes, we can go to the county town and keep watch over the Lu family’s house. We will surely wait until they show up.”
As long as they could meet up with Madam Hou and her daughter, would the Lord have any trouble handling Madam Hou?
When it comes down to it, Madam Hou is also a concubine of Second Master.
Second Master Shu’s eyes lit up; the idea made sense. Now that Madam Hou and her daughter were clinging to the Lu family, knowing they could have good days by following them, they surely wouldn’t give up the chance to maintain a good relationship.
On a day like New Year’s, she would definitely go to the Lu family home.
With this thought, Second Master Shu sighed in relief and returned to the Shu family.
What they didn’t know was that a figure was following behind them.
