However, just as Shu Yu got dressed and got up, there was a knock on the door.
Shu Yu stopped in her tracks.
The knocking continued, and Daniuâs puzzled voice could be heard.
âGrandmother, are you not at home?â
Shu Yu rubbed her temples. Why was Brother Daniu here at this time?
She hesitated to open the door, especially in her current state. Daniu wasnât like her grandmother, who didnât ask much when she dressed up as a strong man.
However, the door to their house was bolted from the inside, which meant that there must be someone in the house.
Sure enough, Daniu was still knocking on the door. He even wanted to climb up the wall to see if anything had happened inside.
At this moment, another voice followed closely. âItâs the Lu familyâs kid. Are you here to look for your Grandmother?â
It was the voice of an aunt from Liufang Alley. Daniu replied, âYes, Iâm here to deliver something to my Grandmother, but thereâs no sound from inside. I wonder if something happened.â
The woman said, âYour Grandmother isnât at home. She went out, but your sister should be there. If you keep calling her, she might not hear you because sheâs far away.â
After saying that, the aunt also helped to shout twice.
She was especially enthusiastic. When there was no response, she said that she wanted to go to her house to bring a ladder over.
Shu Yu sighed. Forget it, she couldnât count on Daniu to go to Yiren Pavilion to look for her father. If she didnât make a sound, not only Brother Daniu, but the other neighbors would also come in.
Shu Yu put on the curtain hat and coughed lightly. She hurriedly shouted, âIâm coming, Brother Daniu. Wait a moment. Iâll open the door for you right away.â
When Daniu heard this, he immediately heaved a sigh of relief.
The lady next door also left with a smile.
When Daniu was the only one left outside, Shu Yu went over to open the courtyard door and let someone in.
Daniu felt strange when he saw her wearing a curtained hat.
Just as he was about to ask, Shu Yu said first, âBrother Daniu, come in first.â
âWait a moment, Iâll drive the mule carriage in.â Da Niu said as he turned around to lead the mule.
When the mule carriage entered the courtyard, he took the things off the cart. âMy father and 1 went to my Fourth Auntâs house yesterday. Many soldiers guard her house and Yuanâs house. We canât enter for the time being. However, the bailiff made an exception and took the chickens from Fourth Auntâs house for us. Weâll bring them back to Shangshi Village to help raise them.â
Although his mother wasnât too happy, her father had made the decision this time, so his mother couldnât say anything.
âOh, there are also Fourth Aunt and Xiaozhenâs clothes and some useful things. The official checked that there were no problems, so he asked me to bring them over. Later, he would see if he could ask Officer Hu to send it to
Fourth Aunt.â
Shu Yu nodded and put away the bag.
Daniu went to wash his hands and asked her, âWhy are you wearing a curtained hat at home?â
âYes⊠I was just about to go out.â
âWhy are you wearing a curtained hat when you go out?â Daniu was indeed a
meticulous person. He felt that Yu was acting strangely today.
He sized her up carefully. âAre you really Yu?â
Shu Yu couldnât help but roll her eyes. âYou canât even recognize my voice?â
âI can hear it, but youâre a little different today. I knocked on the door for so long just now, but you didnât hear it? What are you doing inside?â
Before Shu Yu could answer, Daniu said, âTake off your curtain hat first. Only we are talking here. Donât wear it.â
Shu Yu,ââŠâ She felt like she couldnât leave the house today..
