The Ace Bigshot Becomes A Farmgirl

Chapter 1396: Chapter 1396: Shu Yu Lacking Perceptiveness

The last glance Dongqing Temple master gave was clearly one of helpless compromise.

Shu Yu felt that after completing her task, she should come out to find her.

But just to be safe, she still said to Xia Yan and Ying Xi, ”You two guard the back door. If my master comes out from there, you must stop her.”

”Yes.”

The two of them went to the back door.

No one knew what else was going on inside; Shu Yu and Meng Yunzheng waited in the carriage for a long time without seeing anyone come out.

Just as Shu Yu thought her master had silently left again, the gate of the Zhong Family finally opened.

Village Chief Zhong waved his hand, signaling the villagers outside to clear the way.

However, many people wanted to speak with Dongqing Temple master and inquire about things, so it took a while for Dongqing Temple master and Village Chief Zhong’s family to come out.

Shu Yu breathed a sigh of relief and was just about to step forward when she saw Dongqing Temple master pointing in her direction and saying something.

Village Chief Zhong and his family approached carrying many items, and only when they got close did Shu Yu realize it was some eggs and fruit, along with a few boxes of pastries, all placed on the carriage.

Shu Yu was stunned, while Dongqing Temple master had already bid farewell to Village Chief Zhong.

”Get on the carriage.” Dongqing Temple master glanced at her.

Shu Yu, ”...”

She pushed the boxes inward and climbed back onto the carriage, with Meng Yunzheng aiding her from behind.

Once the two were seated properly, Meng Yunzheng drove the carriage toward the Zhong Family’s back door, picking up Xia Yan and Ying Xi who had been guarding there, and then the group left Zhong Family Village.

Dongqing Temple master sized Shu Yu up and asked, ”Is your body unwell?”

Her movements entering the carriage earlier had been too stiff.

Shu Yu’s mouth twitched, ”It’s from riding, if it weren’t for the desperate rush, racing day and night, how could I possibly meet you in time?”

Dongqing Temple master then looked at Meng Yunzheng, ”With him here, what are you worried about? Speaking so exaggeratedly.”

Shu Yu snorted lightly; exaggerated? She was genuinely worried about missing the chance again, okay?

Dongqing Temple master wasn’t eager to catch up with her. Once she knew there was no major issue, she began discussing with Meng Yunzheng, ”The matter with the Zhong Family has been resolved.”

”Does the Temple master know what’s going on with that Zhong Family’s son?”

Upon hearing this topic, Shu Yu was also interested.

Dongqing Temple master sighed, ”It’s nothing but a worldly love triangle.”

Meng Yunzheng understood; it was likely that Zhong Family’s son was caught up in a romantic affair, but it didn’t sound like possession.

Moreover, Dongqing Temple master seemed unwilling to elaborate, so he did not ask further.

But...

Shu Yu leaned forward, ”So what’s really going on? Master, can you explain in detail.”

Dongqing Temple master looked at Meng Yunzheng, ”Why doesn’t she have half your perceptiveness?”

Perceptiveness? She has it.

Shu Yu quickly poured a cup of water, ”Master, have some water, ease your throat before speaking, no rush.”

Dongqing Temple master, ”...”

Meng Yunzheng bowed his head, silently chuckling.

Previously, whenever Yu mentioned Dongqing Temple master, she would be hopping with anger. Now facing each other, Dongqing Temple master was rendered speechless by her.

Yu was clearly seeking revenge.

”Petty-minded.” Dongqing Temple master eventually took the tea cup, and after finishing the water, she talked about the Zhong Family’s incident, ”My Lord Zhong Hao eats live chickens at night, but it’s nothing more than to ruin his own reputation. He did it deliberately, not possessed nor manipulated by others.”

The prosperity of Zhong Family Village could be seen from its roads; it was a relatively affluent village.

As the village chief, they were indeed the only family in the village.
