Chapter 666 The Old Lady Is Very Worried

Chapter 666: Chapter 666: The Old Lady Is Very Worried Chapter 666: Chapter 666: The Old Lady Is Very Worried “Grandmother, what are you looking at?” Shu Yu leaned close to the old lady and looked up with her.

The old lady withdrew her gaze and glanced at her sideways, “Nothing much, just standing in the yard to help digest the food.”

Shu Yu stifled a laugh, “So what did you hear just now?”

“How could I hear anything from so far away?” the old lady said irritably, tapping her on the head. She was just concerned that the two had been standing alone in that corner for too long, and that’s why she intentionally made a noise as a reminder.

If it were an ordinary day with no one else at home, it would not matter, but today, Madam Hou and Sixth Young Lady were staying over, so of course, they had to be mindful of their influence.

Holding the old lady’s hand, Shu Yu said, “We were discussing serious matters.”

Discussing serious matters required running off to a corner? The old lady looked around and, seeing no one else, lowered her voice and whispered into Shu Yu’s ear, “Yu, you and Young Master Meng, you two…”

“Grandmother, I am still a deported criminal for now. We’ll talk about it after that’s no longer the case.”

The old lady’s eyes widened, so, so did they really have that kind of intention?

Her voice became even lower, “Actually, Grandmother is quite fond of Young Master Meng. Look, he’s handsome, learned, and skilled in martial arts, and his character isn’t bad either. You made it safely through your banishment largely thanks to his care along the way. His actions are beyond reproach.”

The old lady had always liked Meng Yunzheng, and even before Shu Yu was exiled, she wished that such a fine gentleman could be her granddaughter’s husband.

But back then Meng Yunzheng was mute, and in the eyes of a farming family’s old lady, no matter how well-educated and handsome a person was, being unable to speak was a major flaw, and it would be unfair to Yu.

Later, when Shu Yu was exiled and Meng Yunzheng was revealed not to be mute, the old lady dared not even consider it.

Now, hearing hints of that sort of thing between them, she began to worry, “But Yu, we’ve known each other for so long, yet we still don’t know Young Master Meng’s background. Is this not…”

One look at Meng Yunzheng, and anyone could tell he was a well-brought-up young gentleman from a notable family. With their status, even if Young Master Meng did not mind, what about his family? Would they not care?

What if they did care and it wasn’t good for Yu?

The old lady was so worried she felt like she wouldn’t be able to eat tomorrow.

Seeing her frowning and sighing, Shu Yu quickly hugged her shoulder and said, “Grandmother, don’t worry. No matter his background, your granddaughter will take good care of herself. Think about it, I am not someone who lets herself be taken advantage of, right? I got my eldest sister divorced when she was wronged, wouldn’t I do the same? If you are really worried, I will ask him some other day to clarify what his status is, how many people are in his family, whether his parents are easy to get along with, whether he has any siblings, and how much property they have…”

The old lady covered her mouth with her hand, “Alright, look at you, the more you talk, the more nonsensical you get. Let’s drop it, it’s still early for this matter. Let’s talk about it when you leave Righteous Dao Village.”

Shu Yu smiled and then helped the old lady into the house.

That night, Shu Yu slept with the old lady and Sanya. The next morning, when the three of them got up, Madam Hou and Sixth Young Lady were already awake, helping out in the kitchen with boiling water.

Seeing them come in, Madam Hou hurriedly said, “Yu, I saw your brother and his friend left the house early in the morning.”

Madam Hou had developed a biological clock and always got up before 5 a.m. Right after getting out of her room, she saw Meng Yunzheng and his friend preparing to leave.
