The Ace Bigshot Becomes A Farmgirl

Chapter 1244: Chapter 1244: Gratitude to Lord Yu

Madam Zhou looked down at her son, Zhang Yin, who was eagerly watching Ying Dong and others at the Lu family gate distributing sweets, and swallowed hard. It had been a long time since he had eaten any candy or pastries.

Since Third Aunt divorced and the Zhang family split, he hadn’t even had meat many times.

He also wanted to go to the Lu family gate, hoping he might get a few pieces of candy, but neither Madam Zhou nor Madam Feng dared to approach.

Now, the Lu family was someone they could not afford to offend.

That was Monarch Lu Xiang, with great prestige, and they even saw the county magistrate accompanying them to fetch the bride today. What a significant honor that was.

Madam Zhou and Madam Feng exchanged a glance, and seeing the bridal sedan chair completely disappear, quickly pulled their reluctant children away.

Once Shu Yu saw them leave, she turned and went back into the courtyard.

Many people had come to the Lu family, and there were many tables set up in the courtyard, with everyone congratulating the Lu family.

Indeed, congratulations were in order. Who could have thought that the girl, who had been married once, would remarry in such a short time, and to an even better match?

Actually, when Shuyou divorced, even though the fault lay with Zhang Shu, there was no shortage of gossip behind the scenes.

Especially when the rumors of Shu Yu’s exile spread, such discussions reached their peak.

In the end, Shu Yu returned and even became the Village Chief.

At that time, many people had designs on Shuyou, but most of the candidates that came to mind were either widowers or quite older men, and even those who were good-looking but otherwise useless, had such thoughts.

They all thought if Shuyou remarried, it would certainly be to someone not even as good as Zhang Shu, and in their hearts, there might even be a trace of sympathy and pity.

Who knew that the family she found was even more outstanding than their own sons and sons-in-law.

Their hearts felt both complicated and slightly envious.

Shu Yu didn’t care what they thought in their hearts, as long as they were outwardly friendly, it was enough.

She supported the old lady back to the room to rest, and when she came out again, she saw Lord Yu.

Lord Yu came today and still brought the twins. After not seeing them for a while, the two children seemed even more energetic, and just now, they were among those blocking the door to grab money, too.

Now the two children went to play with Ah Ning and the others, so Lord Yu took the opportunity to speak with Shu Yu.

Shu Yu stood alone with him under the porch and had someone bring a cup of tea for Lord Yu.

Lord Yu took a sip, then smiled and said, “I heard that a couple of days ago, Monarch Lu Xiang also got engaged?”

Shu Yu nodded, “The Young Master Meng who just accompanied my brother-in-law to fetch the bride, I’m not sure if Lord Yu has met him before.”

“I have met him, indeed a handsome young man, very well-matched with Monarch Lu Xiang.”

“Not at all, Lord Yu, please don’t praise me too much.” Shu Yu exchanged a few courteous remarks with him.

Then, her expression turned slightly serious, and she solemnly thanked him, “I heard that over the Ruan family, Lord Yu has always had people watching them. Shu Yu thanks Lord Yu for his help.”

The Ruan family was the family of Old Lady Ruan, who had sold her in the past.

She knew much about Old Lady Ruan’s character. Having sold her once, she even dared to come intending to sell the twins a second time, so it was clear this person would not back down easily.

If she knew that she became the Village Chief, and that the Lu family’s days improved, even if her two sons were injured and half the house was torn down, she would probably crawl to the county town to make them filial to her.

Therefore, after returning from the exile area, she paid attention to the Ruan family’s news.
