Fully Leveled Bigshot Becomes A Farmgirl

Chapter 1218: Chapter 1218: Lu Sanzhu in the Water

Third Lu had been in the water for quite a while, and at this time of year, there was already a chill in the air. He almost couldn’t help but sneeze, but luckily he held it in.

However, after hearing what a few people in the pavilion were saying, he perked up and listened carefully, though his face showed a very displeased expression.

This new Madam of the County Magistrate, is she out of her mind? Their family Yu and that Young Master Meng are a pair. Does she need to meddle with their matchmaking?

Of course, he also admitted that Tang Wenqian was pretty good.

But his wife and that old hag from the Tang family didn’t get along. How could they become in-laws? What if that old hag became Yu’s mother-in-law and sowed discord, making Yu distance herself from their Lu Sanzhu?

No, absolutely not!

Third Lu had made up his mind and thought about rushing to Yu to have a good talk, ensuring his determination to be with Young Master Meng.

But since the people in the pavilion had not left, Third Lu could not leave. Otherwise, if he made any noise, he would be in big trouble and would also implicate Yu.

The ones turned away from the water did not know he was there.

They were still immersed in anger over Shu Yu’s lack of cooperation. After a while, Madam Xiao let out a breath and, with a frown, said, “I’ll wait for another half a month to see if there really is such a person and how she’ll cover up the words she’s said.”

The maid hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice, “But Miss, what if this is just her temporary strategy, and today she refuses Miss here but then goes to Lord to lodge a complaint?”

“Let her complain, I’m just kindly matchmaking for her, fair and square. Why should I be afraid of her?”

“But Lord treats her so well. They say when Monarch Lu Xiang first set up her shop, Lord sent Hu Li and the others to give gifts and stand up for her. Later when her Fourth Uncle got into trouble, Lord, in her favor, just temporarily detained the Yuan family and didn’t even put them in prison. About Monarch Lu Xiang’s Coming-of-age Ceremony, it’s even more needless to say; Lord himself sent gifts and even appeared when she was being troubled by County Magistrate Zhang, to the point of hitting that County Magistrate Zhang’s brother. When had Lord ever done such a thing before? With no relation, he’s treating Monarch Lu Xiang too well, isn’t he?”

With every sentence, the maid uttered, Madam Xiao’s grip on her handkerchief tightened. Her teeth bit down on her lower lip, almost drawing blood.

Indeed, when had her husband ever taken care of someone like this?

Monarch Lu Xiang was just a country girl from a remote area, while Xiang Weinan, dignified Princely Heir of the Count Residence in the capital, never needed to spend effort on any woman, as so many noble ladies in the capital wanted to marry him.

What Madam Xiao feared was not anything else, but that Xiang Weinan might fall for Lu Shuyu.

If he didn’t fall for her, whether he took a concubine or kept her as his outside mistress, she wouldn’t mind. After all, she never dreamed her husband would only have her by his side. But if he fell for her, then she would have no hope.

Nanny Gu, seeing Madam Xiao’s pained expression, couldn’t help but glare at the maid, “Why do you bring these things up? It’s only increasing Miss’s worries.”

The maid felt somewhat wronged, apologized, and then quietly said, “Miss, I do have a way, if you are willing, it could be a permanent solution.”

Madam Xiao was taken aback and raised her head.

Nanny Gu was also a bit surprised, “What solution? Quickly, tell us.”
