The Ace Bigshot Becomes A Farmgirl

Chapter 1213: Chapter 1213: The Xiao Family’s Warmth

Shu Yu didn’t know that the events of the housewarming banquet quickly spread throughout Jiangyuan County, and everyone also knew that Shu Yu acquainted with high-ranking officials in the capital and even sent birthday gifts to the Emperor.

Previously, her status as a favored Village Chief had already caused quite a stir; not to mention the events on the day of the housewarming banquet.

So soon many sought her out, using various excuses to get acquainted with her.

But by then, Shu Yu had already left the county town, and the people of the Lu family kept saying she was unavailable.

Everyone simply thought she was unwilling to meet, and eventually ceased insisting.

It was only after Kong Zhiyou’s birthday banquet that people realized she wasn’t in Jiangyuan County.

Now, with great difficulty, Village Chief Lu Xiang returned and appeared at such an occasion; naturally, people gathered around her to speak.

Shu Yu instantly regretted being here today.

Fortunately, before long, Madam Xiao approached.

She was the host today, and as the Madam of the County Magistrate, those who were well-informed knew of her connection with the Third Prince in the capital, naturally went up to greet her.

Shu Yu breathed a sigh of relief, exchanged a glance with Ding Yuehua, and rose along with her.

However, neither expected to find Kong Zhiyou accompanying Madam Xiao.

Shu Yu raised an eyebrow, ”What swift agility, finding oneself a backer in such a short time.”

Ding Yuehua saw it too and gave a cold snort, ”She doesn’t even realize, with her status, whether Madam County Magistrate would even notice her?”

Ding Yuehua was right; though Kong Zhiyou maintained a smile, Madam Xiao kept conversing with others, barely acknowledging her.

Suddenly, it felt quite amusing.

Shu Yu and her companion didn’t approach; Madam Xiao was surrounded by people, so they refrained from squeezing in.

Unexpectedly, Madam Xiao saw her and, nodding slightly to a lady beside her, walked over to Shu Yu.

Everyone immediately parted slightly, but their attention remained fixed on the two.

Just like last time, Madam Xiao linked arms with Shu Yu, ”Village Chief Lu Xiang, we meet again. You’re truly a busy person; I’ve wanted to host a banquet for you, but my husband said you just returned to the county town, busy with many things, and it wouldn’t be right to disturb you. But no matter how busy, one must rest, right? Otherwise, wearing oneself out isn’t worth it.”

Shu Yu nodded, ”I should be the one visiting you, now it’s a trouble for Madam to be concerned.”

”That sounds too distant, I’d be upset,” Madam Xiao feigned anger and then smiled, ”Don’t call me Madam so formally; didn’t you call me sister-in-law last time? Then just call me sister-in-law, and I’ll call you Yu. Is that okay?”

Could Shu Yu say it wasn’t?

She nodded with a smile and introduced Ding Yuehua beside her.

Madam Xiao laughed, ”I know, the Young Madam of the Fan family. I’ve heard the Young Madam excels, and seeing you now, that’s indeed true.”

Ding Yuehua quickly waved her hand and modestly demurred.

Madam Xiao then turned to speak with Shu Yu again, ”Yu, what have you been busy with lately?”

”Building a workshop.”

”What kind of workshop? What will it produce?”

Besides a few individuals, many present were in business, and upon hearing these words, their ears perked up.

But Shu Yu simply laughed, ”Once the workshop is completed, you’ll know, sister-in-law.”

Madam Xiao, recognizing the moment, knew better than to keep probing.

She refrained from asking further, switching to the topic of her birthday.
