Chapter 1212: Serves Her Right
Xiao Yun lowered her voice, "I saw Qiu Ju and Chen Xiucai together, and they seemed... intimate."
She couldn't pinpoint exactly what made them appear intimate, but Qiu Ju's gestures, expressions, and the way she spoke seemed like she was intentionally trying to attract Chen Xiucai's attention.
Shu Yu raised an eyebrow, "Are you suggesting that...
Chapter 1211: Seeing Kong Zhi You's True Colors
Ding Yuehua realized that both Kong Zhi You and her husband had come for Shu Yu, or more accurately, for the support of the influential families behind Shu Yu, like the Qi and Yao families.
Feeling uncomfortable with the situation, Ding Yuehua left the celebration early after dinner, thinking that the matter would eventually fade awa...
Chapter 1210: Falling Out
Seeing Ding Yuehua's reaction, Shu Yu was taken aback and looked at her with confusion.
On the other side, Kong Zhi You also noticed them. When she first saw Shu Yu, her face brightened with a smile, and she seemed ready to come over and greet them.
However, the next moment, her expression changed upon noticing Ding Yuehua beside Shu Yu. She furrow...
Chapter 1209: Location at Peach Blossom Forest
In the vast Jiangyuan County, Shu Yu, as the village chief, held a prestigious position. If she didn't attend the banquet, outsiders might speculate about her relationship with the County magistrate, especially when their relationship was already quite good.
Ding Yuehua comforted Shu Yu, "Luckily, it's not a very formal banquet. The l...
Chapter 1208: Xiao Shi's Invitation
With Little Songle's situation temporarily settled, Shu Yu felt relieved. She informed her fourth aunt about Little Songle's condition, and from time to time, her fourth aunt would bring along Quan Quan and Xiao Zhen to play with him.
Quan Quan now had a new playmate of the same age and often clamored to visit his grandmother's house.
Shu...
Chapter 1207: Unexpected Gains
An Ning felt proud of her clever plan, and Shu Yu agreed with a smile as she held her hand, saying, "Yes, An Ning, that's a good idea."
Xiao Songle was indeed hiding behind the wall, watching them. Although he was scared, he also felt envious.
"But he's not used to it yet. Quan Quan is about the same age as him, so let Quan Quan approach him f...
Chapter 1206: He's Your Younger Brother
Shu Yu followed Xiao Songle's gaze and saw Quan Quan playing joyfully with the cat named "Zhao Cai."
Zhao Cai was the stray cat that Shu Yu had adopted. Initially, it lived with the Lu family and had a great relationship with the twins.
When Shu Yu was exiled and the Lu family's second branch followed her to the southwest, it was inco...
Chapter 1205: Xiao Song Enjoys Watching Quan Quan
Zhao Xi rubbed his chin and said, "It seems that we shouldn't discuss things at the county office anymore."
Shu Yu nodded and as they reached the corner of an alley, she waved her hand at Zhao Xi, "Thank you for telling me all this. I have some things to attend to, so I'll be on my way."
Turning the corner, she headed straig...
Chapter 1204: The Origin of Xiao Shi
Shu Yu smirked, initially intending to turn and leave, but then she thought of Xiao Shi and stopped again.
"Alright, let's go and take a look."
Zhao Xi immediately instructed the agent to lead the way, and they walked ahead.
Shu Yu asked Zhao Xi to stay a couple of steps behind and quietly recounted her encounter with Xiao shi whe...
Chapter 1203: Zhao Xi Buys a House
Fang Cong scratched his head, "Nothing much, I thought Miss Shu Yu was a customer here to place an order. Since Miss Shu Yu wants to build a workshop, there's no problem at all."
Shu Yu raised an eyebrow.
Fang Cong continued, "In fact, boss instructed me to postpone the larger orders that came in recently until next year because he wanted to...
Chapter 1202: Shop Assistant Cong
These furnishings were indeed rare and unusual for the guests attending the banquet. As a result, after Ding Yuehua's housewarming banquet and the reopening of Lu's Carpentry Shop, orders poured in rapidly.
The group of workers who had been helping Lu Erbai renovate the Lu family's house thought that they would disperse after completing the renova...
Chapter 1201: Lu's Carpenter Shop
The expression on Xiang Weinan's face was unpleasant, but when he saw Xiao Shi, it was apparent that she was very happy. She let go of Shu Yu's hand and walked a few steps to his side, speaking with some excitement, "Husband, I heard that Lu Xiangjun came, so I came to say hello and invite her to the backyard to sit."
When facing her, ...
Chapter 1200: Xiang Weinan's Wife
Shu Yu nodded in agreement. The mansion did have a large area.
Moreover, it was the Black Market. Her uncle, Yuan Shanchuan, had lived there for a period of time and knew that it was a complicated place with hidden passages and secret rooms. It took a lot of effort to build it.
She couldn't help but ask, "How much does the hill and the m...
Chapter 1199: The Black Market Relocates
Xiang Weinan picked up the iron token and looked at Shu Yu with a smile, "So, in the end, you didn't use it?"
"Well, I did accept your kind gesture," Shu Yu replied.
Yeah, you accepted it, and then you gave me gifts from the capital? Xiang Weinan snorted, feeling that this brat Yunzheng was being unreasonable. He was a local of th...
Chapter 1198: Finding Xiang Weinan
Shu Yu took a few steps back subconsciously and blinked, asking him, "Ying Dong, what are you doing?"
"Miss, Ying Xi has told me everything. Ying Dong is here to thank you for your generosity, for helping us find out about our mother's whereabouts, and for allowing Ying Xi to pay respects to our father, and even..."
When it came to thei...
Chapter 1197: Yingdong Kowtows
Regarding Da Niu's decision, Shu Yu didn't express any opinion since grandma Lu was there to give him advice.
She noticed Xiao Song Le still hiding behind Ying Xi, and every time Little An Ning tried to talk to him, he would hide even more.
Shu Yu went to talk to Zhao Xi about Xiao Song Le's behavior.
Zhao Xi was also surprised, "Af...
Chapter 1196: No Problem with the Medicine
After being away from home for three or four months, Shu Yu couldn't help but overeat when she finally had a home-cooked meal.
Grandma Lu asked her to take a walk to aid digestion, so Shu Yu took the opportunity to distribute the gifts she brought from the capital to everyone.
Especially the wedding gift box from the Yao family ...
Chapter 1195: Not Afraid Even of Blood
Inside the house, everyone was laughing. However, Ruan shi's eyes were sharp, and she saw Shu Yu outside. She immediately exclaimed, "Ah Yu is back!"
Shu Yu quickly walked forward, and except for her younger brother who was still studying at the academy, everyone else gathered around her.
An Ning hugged Shu Yu's waist and raised a j...
Chapter 1194: Ah Ning Takes a Master
Shu Yu was taken aback, "Moving?"
Was this black market planning to relocate?
She had heard that the black market in Jiangyuan County had been established for many years. It seemed impossible for them to suddenly decide to move. Building such a powerful and expansive territory wasn't an easy task.
However, Da Niu probably woul...
Chapter 1193: The Peculiar Black Market
As they chatted, they had already walked into the field. From a distance, the lush greenery looked delightful, but as they got closer, Shu Yu noticed that the sprouts had grown quite tall and healthy.
Da Niu recounted the events of the past few months, "After selling those batches of alfalfa, we made around sixty to seventy taels of silver...
Chapter 1192: The Situation at the estate
Da Niu regained his composure and patted his chest, "Yes, yes, it's fake."
But in the next moment, he was still shocked, "Even if it's fake, he was cultivated as a young master for more than a decade."
He shook his head, "No wonder, I said his temperament, knowledge, demeanor, and martial arts are not those of an ordinary person....
Chapter 1191: The Shock of Daniu
Zhou Qiao's second Aunt was still somewhat afraid of Shu Yu. Last time, she accepted money and took advantage of the news of Shu Yu's exile to persuade Zhou Qiao to remarry.
Unfortunately, she inadvertently spoke behind Shu Yu's back and was overheard.
Initially, she didn't think much of it, but the next day, she found out that she had be...
Chapter 1190: Shu Yu's Guess Was Right
The argument quickly drew Shu Yu and Zhou Qiao out of the main hall. Upon hearing Li Shi's words, both of them were speechless.
Zhou Qiao knew her second aunt was stingy, but that didn't mean she would compromise on the quality of medicine. After all, you couldn't just take anything into your body. Luckily, she had no intention of consuming...
Chapter 1188: Zhou Qiao Is Pregnant
Xiao Ya'er was startled, and Shu Yu furrowed her brows, looking in the direction of the sound.
It seemed to be coming from the kitchen.
Shu Yu wanted to go and check, but as she took only a few steps, she saw someone coming out from the main room, hurrying towards the kitchen.
But after walking a few steps, the person spotted S...
Chapter 1189: Let Da Niu Decide
Zhou Qiao nodded helplessly, "Since the two of them can't get along, Big Niu said he'll send them back to the county this afternoon."
Shu Yu also thought it would be better to send them away, considering that Zhou Qiao was pregnant and needed proper rest.
"What about your second aunt? Is she willing to leave?" Shu Yu asked.
Zhou Qi...
Chapter 1187: Xiao Ya'er
The eighty mu of land that were originally planted with alfalfa had all been cleared, and sunflowers were now planted all over the field. From a distance, the small seedlings were waving in the wind, presenting a vibrant green.
To Shu Yu's surprise, the entire perimeter of the field had been fenced off. Wooden stakes were driven into the ground, connecte...
Chapter 1186: The Little Boy Has a Name
While Ying Xi was feeling troubled, Shu Yu came up with an idea, "Since there are good days both half a month and a month later, why don't you come back with me first, and then you and your brother can come together? Relocating your mother's grave will make her happy, and with your brother present, it will be even better."
Ying Xi was take...
Chapter 1185: You Both Followed a Good Master
Shu Yu and Meng Yun Zhe quickly found another restaurant and reserved a quiet private room. They ordered a few dishes and asked the waiter for writing materials.
Before the food arrived, Shu Yu started writing a letter. She wanted to remind the Yao family before any trouble arose. However, she would leave the decision on how to handl...
Chapter 1184: Trouble is Inevitable
Meng Yunzheng followed her gaze and raised an eyebrow, "This is... a high-speed spinning wheel?"
Shu Yu nodded. The shopkeeper noticed them and immediately said, "You two also recognize this item? Let me tell you, this high-speed spinning wheel is a new invention that benefits the common people. It's been extremely popular this year, and almos...
Chapter 1183: At Dongshantou
"Old man, you've misunderstood." Tan Ping smiled and said, "The case has long been closed, so there won't be any problems."
He asked Ying Xi to step forward and introduced her, "This is Miss Ying Xi, the youngest daughter of Ying Qi and Jiang Shi. She is passing through Huajiang Prefecture and wants to inquire about her parents' situation to pay her ...
