The Ace Bigshot Becomes A Farmgirl

Chapter 587: Chapter 587: Shu Yu is Indeed Not from the Shu Family Chapter 587: Chapter 587: Shu Yu is Indeed Not from the Shu Family Mrs. Xue really felt like she was going to lose her mind these past few days; the first Madam and the others would slack off whenever they could, and everyone bullied her alone.

Like now, she was kicked out again to fetch water and gather firewood. Any task that was a bit tiring or tough was left to her.

She wanted to establish a good relationship with Shu Yu. Over these past few days, she had watched helplessly as Shu Yu easily carried water back, saw their surplus of food each day, and noticed their increasingly hearty spirits.

Mrs. Xue didn’t want to wait for the men of the Shu family to arrive before she could enjoy the good life; she wanted to enjoy it now.

That’s why she wanted to stop Shu Yu and try once again to soften their relationship.

“Ayue, you can be so kind to Madam Hou, so why can’t you show some forbearance towards me based on our past affection? After all, I am your mother. Compared to others, my relationship with you is the most intimate.”

Shu Yu raised her hand and sneered, “Enough, what mother? Are you my mother? I was bought from someone else to deceive the Shu family. In my eyes, you’re not a mother, just a human trafficker.”

“Moreover, you were indeed nice to me when I was little. But was that kindness genuine? No, it was for vying for favors, seeing me as a tool to be used.”

“So, don’t be so righteous and parade yourself as a twenty-four filial piety mother. You’re just a vile woman who will stop at nothing for your own gain. The days of working like an ox and barely living for the Shu family are your retribution. Enjoy it slowly; I find joy in seeing you suffer. Now, move aside, don’t block my way, or I won’t hesitate to give you a taste of how I deal with human traffickers.”

Mrs. Xue’s complexion changed slightly, and she choked up, retreating two steps to let Shu Yu pass.

Around the corner, Pingning’s eyes widened; now, she no longer needed verification, as she had heard with her own ears that Shu Yu was not the Shu family’s daughter.

As she watched Shu Yu walk further away, Pingning hurriedly followed her.

“Miss Shu Yu, Miss Shu,” Pingning quickly intercepted her.

Shu Yu paused and looked at her in surprise, “Miss Zhang, is there something you need?”

Indeed… she had seen Pingning earlier.

If not for seeing her, she would not have wasted words with Mrs. Xue and would have directly used her fists.

Shu Yu also intended to use the Zhang family’s mouth to let people know about her relationship with the Shu family, to avoid conflicts with the Shu family and to prevent others from gossiping.

Pingning sized up Shu Yu, indeed feeling more and more that she resembled Sanya.

She quickly said, “Miss Shu Yu, my mother wants to invite you to our house; she has something she wants to discuss with you.”

Shu Yu was taken aback, “Something to discuss with me?”

“Yes,” Pingning paused, then added, “now.”

Shu Yu thought for a moment, then nodded, “Okay, then wait for me a moment; I’ll go back and inform them.”

“All right.”

Shu Yu re-entered the courtyard, informed Madam Hou and the Sixth Young Lady, and then left.

She still found it strange. Why would the Zhang family want to see her out of the blue?

Pingning led Shu Yu back to her home, and as soon as they entered, she quickly ran to Aunt Zhang and whispered, “Mother, Miss Shu Yu is not the Shu family’s child; I accidentally overheard her conversation with that Mrs. Xue from the Shu family.”

Aunt Zhang was surprised; she had previously asked the old lady to stay in the room and let her probe Shu Yu first.

She didn’t expect her daughter to tell her directly that she had already confirmed she was only an adopted daughter?
