The Ace Bigshot Becomes A Farmgirl

Probably everyone in the main branch thought Ms. Wu was stupid, guilty, and silent, and wouldn’t cause any trouble. Therefore, although they guarded against her, they did not defend themselves strictly.

So it didn’t take long before Ms. Wu really overheard some news.

The news Ms. Wu heard was limited, mostly trivial and irrelevant matters.

But Shu Quan still extracted some key information from these things.

Ms. Wu mentioned ’Prince Ding’.

Upon hearing these two words, Shu Quan was nearly startled.

Prince Ding, isn’t that the Second Prince?

No matter how remote the Righteous Dao Village is and how blocked the information is, Shu Quan knew about the rebellion attempted by the Second Prince and the Third Prince at the end of the previous year, which was crushed by the new emperor.

In the first half of last year, quite a number of exiled criminals were sent here to the southwest due to the incident, including some government heirs.

Indeed, after those criminals arrived, the situation in the main branch changed, and life gradually improved.

Shu Quan thought Shu Feng was really mad; he didn’t know what Shu Feng intended to do, nor did he know his allegiance. But either way, he shouldn’t be involved with the Second Prince. The Shu family used to work for the Second Prince, and ultimately, they were abandoned.

How, does Shu Feng want to get involved again?

While Shu Quan was cursing Shu Feng to half-death, not knowing what to do, Ms. Wu passed on another message.

She said, ”The Shu family’s former adopted daughter, often criticized by the mother-in-law and sisters, named the Third Sister Shu Yu, seems to have a master who is a Daoist nun. They said they have captured that Daoist nun, and plan to seek revenge on the Third Sister in the process.”

Shu Quan was stunned upon hearing this, Daoist nun? Are they referring to the Dongqing Temple master?

She knew the Dongqing Temple master was formidable, but she didn’t know she was Shu Yu’s master. That explains why someone who seemed invisible in the Shu family invented that heating pack and became the Village Chief because of it.

Shu Quan felt a bit sour, but then his eyes brightened as a thought emerged.

He felt that he might have found a way to get his family out of the current predicament and turn their fortunes around entirely.

Then he wrote a letter to Madam Hou and sent it to the Wan Family.

The letter said that Shu Feng seemed to collude with the residual forces of the Second Prince and had captured the Dongqing Temple master to use against Shu Yu. However, he wasn’t sure of Shu Yu’s location or address, but he knew Aunt Hou must be concerned about her, so he sent the letter to Lord Wan’s mansion in the capital, asking Aunt Hou to inform Shu Yu, warning her not to come to the southwest.

After finally reading the thick letter, Shu Yu let out a long breath. Since Shu Feng wanted to use the master to lure her to the southwest, the master must be safe for now.

Moreover, she suspected that Shu Feng and the others might have captured the master not just to deal with her; otherwise, it would be too wasteful of their talents.

She folded the letter and slowly placed it on the table.

Madam Hou asked her, ”What do you think? Is what Shu Quan said credible?”

”Mostly credible.”

Aunt Hou slightly frowned, ”I still feel that sending this letter to me isn’t straightforward.”

”Then your feeling is correct; he deliberately sent it to you.” Shu Yu sneered, ”Does he really not know my address? If he truly wanted to inform me, there are plenty of ways. Fang Xiyue’s family is right in Righteous Dao Village; we’ve kept in touch, and Shu Quan could have asked her.”

Madam Hou clapped her hands together, ”That’s right, why not ask Fang Xiyue? Wouldn’t that be more convenient?”
