The Ace Bigshot Becomes A Farmgirl

Chapter 1599: Chapter 1599: Meng Han Takes Her to Eavesdrop

Shu Yu, borrowing Meng Han’s motion, left the dining table and hurriedly walked toward the front hall.

”Where are you taking me?” Shu Yu saw her slowing her steps upon reaching the front hall, looking sneaky, and couldn’t help rubbing her forehead.

Meng Han shushed her, ”Sister Shuyu, someone is speaking ill of you, I’m taking you to listen.”

Shu Yu twitched the corner of her mouth and was dragged down into a crouch without further explanation.

Staring intently, she finally realized they were currently crouched under the window of Lanhua’s boudoir.

Shu Yu couldn’t help but rub her forehead, ”There are so many guests coming and going at Eldest Uncle’s house today, hiding here, we’ll be spotted in no time.”

Meng Han thought it made sense, so she asked Ying Xi to keep watch.

Shu Yu, ”...”

Before she could say anything more, a voice had already sounded inside Lanhua’s room, ”Lanhua, don’t take what I’m saying lightly. That cousin of yours, she came here just to show off. Look at her since she arrived; everyone is fawning over her, surrounding her in conversation. You’re the new bride, but she’s grabbing all the attention. Isn’t she here to spoil things?”

Meng Han whispered to Shu Yu, ”This person is Lanhua’s friend. I’ve asked around; she used to be the one closest to Lanhua in the village.”

This time, Meng Han was just playing the part of Lanhua’s good sister, joining in the fun. Although she hadn’t been here long, she got along quite well with Lanhua.

Moments ago, everyone else went to eat, leaving only her in the room with Lanhua.

Of course, besides them, there was this Xu Cai, Lanhua’s close friend from her boudoir.

Earlier, Xu Cai found an excuse to send Meng Han away. Meng Han, being clever and not fond of Xu Cai, walked away slowly and sneaked back to the bottom of the windowsill.

Then she heard Xu Cai speaking sarcastically about Shu Yu, so without a word, she ran to the backyard to drag Shu Yu over.

Shu Yu knew Xu Cai, like Lanhua, loved dressing up but couldn’t afford it.

Last time when Lanhua went to the Peach Blossom Forest to sell silk ribbons, she was with Xu Cai and ended up being stopped in the water by Lu Sanzhu.

”Lanhua, I’m doing this for your good. Stay away from that cousin of yours. You see her as a sister, she may not see you as one. Look at what she gave you as a bridal gift. Just a set of headdress. I heard when your brother got married, she gave your sister-in-law the same set of headdress. Your sister-in-law is an outsider, and she was so generous with her, and for you? Her sister, she didn’t even put in any effort, just gave you the same thing.”

”I heard she gave Daya a shop and twenty acres of farmland along with other valuable things. As sisters, you got so little, it’s really unreasonable. Look at the prizes she prepared for people in the lottery, they’re all golden hairpins, but when it comes to your wedding, she’s so stingy.”

Meng Han was indignant, ”What is she saying? She...”

Before she could finish her sentence, they heard Lanhua’s cold voice from the room, ”Have you said enough?”

”Lanhua...”

”You can leave now; from now on, I’ll act as if we are no longer friends.”

Xu Cai was shocked, ”What do you mean by that? I’m looking out for your best interest.”

”If you care so much about me, why don’t you be like my Sister Yu and give me a set of headdress? You just gave me two silk ribbons, and you still have the nerve to complain about the headdress? How shameless can you be?”

Xu Cai was so enraged she almost fainted, ”Lu Lanhua, you really don’t appreciate a good heart.”
