Chapter 791: Chapter 791: Second Shu in the County Town Chapter 791: Chapter 791: Second Shu in the County Town Shu Yu didn’t leave the house; she didn’t know many people around here, and the Lu family didn’t have many relatives either.
On such a beautiful day, she moved a reclining chair to sit in the yard and bask in the sun, her posture so leisurely as though she was enjoying her retirement, even less active than the old lady.
After a little while, another chair appeared beside her.
Shu Yu turned her head and saw Meng Yunzheng placing a small table between them, topped with a tray full of melons, fruits, and pastries.
Shu Yu exchanged a glance with him, chuckled twice, and continued to eat and enjoy the sun.
When Wang Changdong and his wife, Ms. Sun, arrived, they saw this leisure scene, which was completely different from the liveliness outside.
He even wondered if he had come to the wrong place until the old lady called out to him, and only then did he step inside.
With guests arriving, Shu Yu couldn’t lie down anymore, so she got up to welcome the couple inside.
Wang Changdong was here to pay a New Year visit. His wife was somewhat embarrassed because she had mistaken Shu Yu for a vixen yesterday, so the New Year’s gifts she brought today were somewhat excessive.
However, the moment she walked through the door and saw the picture of a man and a woman sitting in the yard sunbathing, Ms. Sun completely dismissed that idea.
Young Master Meng was young and handsome, standing beside Lady Lu seemed like a match made in heaven. With such a man by her side, how could Lady Lu possibly fancy someone like their Wang Changdong?
Thinking this, even Ms. Sun cast a somewhat disdainful look at her husband beside her.
Wang Changdong looked baffled as he talked to the Lu family about some lively places in Heichang County.
It was the New Year, and there were temple fairs, dragon and lion dances, and places for opera performances; if possible, they should all go and see.
Wang Changdong knew the Lu family didn’t need to visit relatives, so he introduced these with great enthusiasm.
Yet, Shu Yu was indifferent to these festivities, but the old lady listened with extra seriousness.
As noon approached, Wang Changdong took his leave. On the first day of the New Year, the Lu family didn’t keep them.
However, shortly after Wang Changdong left, he saw a faintly familiar figure at the entrance of the alley.
Ms. Sun saw him halting his steps, and couldn’t help but tug at him, “What’s wrong?”
“Wait here for me, I left something at the Lu family’s, I’ll be right back.”
Ms. Sun examined him from head to toe but didn’t see anything missing.
After Wang Changdong spoke, he had already turned around and headed back. Ms. Sun could only stand there, watching the bustling figures of children in the alley.
Wang Changdong returned to the Lu family’s home, and as soon as he entered, he quietly said to Shu Yu, “Lady Lu, just now at the alley entrance, I think I saw someone from the Shu family.”
“It should be Second Shu.” There are so many people in the exile area, Wang Changdong remembers less than half of them.
But the Shu family was different, as those people had conflicts with Shu Yu, he couldn’t help but pay more attention.
Shu Yu was surprised, “Second Shu is in the county town?”
Upon reflection, she understood.
A few days ago, Second Master inquired about the whereabouts of Madam Hou and her daughter from her, and she didn’t tell. Had they given up and simply come here to watch their family? They must think that Madam Hou would definitely come to spend the New Year with them, right?
Wang Changdong asked her, “Shall I drive them away?”
Shu Yu shook her head, “No need, let them wait there; let’s see how long they can last.”
Hmm, suddenly hoping it would rain in the afternoon.
Hearing this, Wang Changdong did not bother anymore. On the first day of the New Year, he didn’t want to engage in these vexing matters.
