Chapter 791: Chapter 791: Second Shu in the County Town
Shu Yu didnât leave the house; she didnât know many people around here, and the Lu family didnât 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 couldnât 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 Yearâs 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 didnât 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 didnât 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 couldnât help but tug at him, "Whatâs wrong?"
"Wait here for me, I left something at the Lu familyâs, Iâll be right back."
Ms. Sun examined him from head to toe but didnât 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 familyâs 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."
"Shu family? Who?"
"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 couldnât 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 didnât 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; letâs 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 didnât want to engage in these vexing matters.
