The Ace Bigshot Becomes A Farmgirl

Ms. Yu’s expression froze for a moment; a flash of embarrassment crossed her face, but she quickly smiled again, ”Yes, yes, Song Le, look at me, this child is already attending school, he’s a scholar now, can’t call him Little Gouwa anymore.”

Shu Yu nodded slightly, then turned back to talk with Aunt Hong.

As the three of them were setting the table, they kept their ears open, moving slowly, a little reluctant to leave.

Shu Yu didn’t mind, and simply said to Aunt Hong, ”Coming here this time, besides bringing Lele to see you, I also wanted to ask if you have any news about Lele’s mother.”

Upon hearing this, Aunt Hong shook her head regretfully, ”It’s been years since the Wei family’s elder brother left, and there’s been no word at all, I really don’t know where they went.”

Little Song Le lowered his head, feeling somewhat disappointed.

In fact, according to Aunt Hong, it’s good that Gouwa is now following his uncle; even if his mother returned, she couldn’t provide such a good life for him.

Not to mention the family of bloodsuckers behind Ms. Wei, they would only drag Gouwa down.

It’s not that she’s being selfish; Aunt Hong just hopes Gouwa’s life will be peaceful and smooth, everything else isn’t important.

However, Shu Yu felt that it would still be best to find Ms. Wei, especially if Little Song Le really plans to pursue an official career in the future; finding her now is even more important.

After chatting for a while, as Ms. Yu and the others hadn’t left, Ying Xi lightly coughed and began to usher people out.

Aunt Hong also frowned and said, ”There are so many guests outside; why aren’t you attending to them and just staying here?”

The three could only leave reluctantly.

Once they left, Aunt Hong invited Shu Yu to eat.

Halfway through the meal, she looked at Little Song Le hesitantly and asked, ”This time coming to the capital, how long do you plan to stay? Are you staying in the capital for good, or will you return after a few days?”

”Unless there are unexpected circumstances, we’ll be staying in the capital for about two months.”

Aunt Hong’s face lit up, ”Two months?”

”Yes, Aunt, if you have time, you can come and visit Lele. We’re still staying at the small courtyard south of the city, where you came last time.”

”Yes, yes, yes, I remember the address.” Since they would stay for a while, Aunt Hong was reassured. Otherwise, she would really be reluctant for Little Song Le to leave.

Shu Yu said, ”Originally, Lele’s uncle was supposed to come with us today, but something came up at the last minute, so he let me bring him over first. He’ll visit once he’s not busy.”

Aunt Hong waved her hand, ”No need, no need, my place is a mess; it’s not peaceful when you come. If I miss Gouwa, I’ll just find him myself.”

”That works too.”

After eating, Shu Yu was about to leave.

Since Aunt Hong didn’t plan to accept any money and had explained her reasons, Shu Yu didn’t insist further and had Little Song Le put the money bag away.

As for Song Dazhuang’s tomb relocation, they’ll wait until Yun finishes his exams to take Little Song Le to pay respects.

As Shu Yu was about to leave, the Hong Family tried to persuade her to stay, but Aunt Hong waved them off, ”Lady Lu has things to do and has been delayed for quite some time already, so don’t hold her up.”

The crowd had to make way, and Aunt Hong, holding Little Song Le, escorted the three to the door, waving them off as they boarded the carriage, watching it leave.

It wasn’t until the carriage was out of sight that Aunt Hong sighed and turned back to the courtyard.

Once back inside, the others flocked over.

Ms. Yu was the most anxious, ”Mother, why did Lady Lu come to the capital at this time? What did she come to the capital for?”
