The Ace Bigshot Becomes A Farmgirl

Chapter 701: Chapter 701: The Shu Family Learns the Whereabouts of Madam Hou and Her Daughter Chapter 701: Chapter 701: The Shu Family Learns the Whereabouts of Madam Hou and Her Daughter Wang Changdong was taken aback, “She’s been missing for two days, and you’re only mentioning it now?”

That’s not right. The officer responsible for registration had told him that no one had been missing in the past two days.

He wasn’t very familiar with Shu Feng; there were too many criminals in Righteous Dao Village, and he could no longer recall which family this person belonged to.

Shu Feng immediately explained, “We didn’t mean to conceal it deliberately. It’s just that before my sisters left, they quarreled with us and stayed in someone else’s house. We thought they would come back when their anger subsided, but we haven’t seen them at all. They haven’t been seen working in the fields these two days either, so we got worried and hurried to ask the bailiff.”

Wang Changdong furrowed his brows, “Which family are you from? How old is this ‘Sixth Young Lady’ of yours, what’s her name, and when did she go missing?”

“We are from the Shu family, living at the foot of the mountain. My Sixth Young Lady is only eleven years old this year, and her mother is our family’s concubine. Right, they might have gone to the Lu family after leaving home. That’s Lu Shuyu; I just saw her sitting over there registering people. Bailiff, she was fine, so why has she become…”

Shu Feng had intended to naturally steer the conversation towards Shu Yu, but before he could finish, he saw Wang Changdong suddenly have an epiphany and say, “Now I remember, I was wondering why it sounded familiar. Your Aunt Hou and Sixth Young Lady, didn’t they go to work at the courier station?”

Shu Feng’s voice stopped abruptly as he suddenly looked up, “What are you saying? Work at the courier station?”

Wang Changdong’s expression became strange for a moment, “You don’t know? They met the governor that day, and the governor said that the courier station was short-staffed, so he transferred them there.”

Shu Feng’s entire being felt dazed. The courier station? They had already left to work there, which meant they might not come back anymore?

Wang Changdong continued, “Strange, how could you not know about this? After they received the news that day, didn’t they return to pack their belongings and say goodbye to you? They didn’t tell you?”

That day??

Shu Feng remembered, Madam Hou and the Sixth Young Lady indeed came back midway.

They found it odd, these people were working fine in the fields, so why did they suddenly come back?

Then, before a few calm words could be exchanged, his uncle slapped Madam Hou.

After that, Madam Hou and his uncle got into a fight, she picked up the bundle thrown in the yard, turned her head, and left, never to return.

So, they had already gone to the courier station at that time?

Shu Feng’s body was trembling slightly. Working at the courier station was certainly better than clearing the wilderness here.

Why? Not only had Lu Shuyu become the steward of the Manor, they couldn’t do anything to her.

Even Madam Hou and Sixth Young Lady had left; now, wanting to see them again had become exceedingly difficult.

A flash of anger crossed Shu Feng’s face; he forced himself to suppress it and managed a strained smile, “Bailiff, do you know which courier station they went to?”

Wang Changdong glanced at him, “I can’t say that.”

He was shrewd and had realized that Madam Hou and the rest of the Shu family did not get along; otherwise, for such a big event, even if they did have a quarrel, they wouldn’t just leave without saying a word.

Besides, such a deployment wasn’t something he could disclose even if he wanted to.

If anyone could come and ask, then what rules would there be?
