The Ace Bigshot Becomes A Farmgirl

Chapter 1361: Chapter 1361: Letter from Qi Lie

It’s just that the few children in their family were originally meant to stay with the old lady for a few days.

Everything was fine during the day, but at night, each one of them started missing their mother.

Even with their father around, it wasn’t much help.

Cuihua’s son was alright, at six years old, being a boy, he was already sensible, and following his father didn’t present much of a problem. Furthermore, Erniu lived with them and would study and write with this nephew.

Lu Sixing’s Quanquan was still young, and did indeed miss his mother at night, but apart from his father, he also had a sister. Xiaozhen always played with her brother, making it easy to coax him to sleep.

But Lu Sanzhu’s situation wasn’t quite as good; Dabao didn’t mind, but Baoya couldn’t manage. She always slept with Madam Liang at night. Especially since Lu Sanzhu was rather unreliable, he didn’t wash clothes, and Baoya sweated while playing during the day, leaving her clothes dirty, and he let her wear them out the next day.

Baoya had already come to appreciate cleanliness, and seeing her dusty appearance made her miss her mother even more.

So the little girl attempted to wash herself. At first, she scooped too much water, causing it to overflow when she put the clothes in the basin. After thinking for a moment, she scooped the water back into the vat.

Dabao saw this scene, and remembering his habit of scooping water to drink when thirsty, his face darkened.

But she was his sister, and he had to spoil her, so he ran to find Lu Sanzhu to have him fetch fresh water.

The entire Lu Sanzhu household felt chaotic every day due to various issues, and Lu Sanzhu instantly became worn down.

He felt it was too difficult to care for two children, and without a second thought, sent Baoya to the manor.

Fortunately, Little Ya’er and Zaozao were at the manor, and there were enough people to not worry about lack of care.

And just after the stall outside the manor had been set up for two days, Shu Yu also received a letter from Meng Yunzheng.

As expected, he remained the Top Scorer.

Hence he officially became a proud child student.

Shu Yu thought to give him a gift as congratulations.

While she was pondering what to prepare, a letter from Qi Lie also arrived.

Two months had passed since his last letter.

Who knows what the result would be, Shu Yu felt quite tense as she opened the letter.

Just as she unfolded it, the first sentence left her stunned.

The capital... something indeed had happened.

The Second Prince, in fact, was still alive; not only that, during their search for him, the Emperor discovered he was hiding in Third Prince’s maternal family’s residence.

Initially, neither the Emperor nor Qi Lie realized these two were colluding.

Back when the late Emperor was still there, these two openly and covertly fought for years, stabbing each other in the back quite often.

Not to mention other matters, but regarding Dongan Province, although the new Emperor operated behind the scenes, the Third Prince overtly did quite a lot, eventually overcoming the Second Prince’s forces and wiping out the Shu family.

Speaking of Jiangyuan County’s black market, it started gradually preparing to withdraw after that.

Since the Shu family was exiled, the two auctions held afterward dwindled in scale, and eventually stopped altogether.

Previously, it wasn’t thought through, but reflecting now, everything falls into place.

Ultimately, the black market claimed it was due to a series of consequences from the crystal-clear glass mirror, causing Shu Yu to bear a significant burden, making her want to hide even more.

Thinking of this, Shu Yu couldn’t help grinding her teeth, feeling an urge to spit blood.
