The Ace Bigshot Becomes A Farmgirl

Chapter 786: Chapter 786 What Has Master Said Chapter 786: Chapter 786 What Has Master Said The woman suddenly widened her eyes, slammed the yard door shut with a ‘bang’, and without saying a word, turned and ran inside, all the while shouting, “Trouble, a real vixen has come knocking!”

Shu Yu, “…What vixen? What are you imagining?”

She turned her head to glance at Meng Yunzheng nearby, her face filled with helplessness.

Fortunately, it wasn’t long before the yard door was opened again, this time by Wang Changdong.

However, he was followed by quite a few people who were staring intensely at her, making Shu Yu’s scalp tingle.

She forced a laugh and looked at Wang Changdong, “Brother Wang, I just came to ask you something, everything is fine, right?”

“All’s well, all’s well.” Wang Changdong let her in and waved the others away.

Still, there was a young woman and two children watching her warily.

Shu Yu felt it was really not the right time for her visit.

Wang Changdong apologetically explained, “We were just eating, and started discussing how someone in the next building got some money and was thinking of taking a concubine. I’ve become the manor’s steward, you see, and I hardly come home once a month, so they worry I might have other intentions. How could that be possible? Am I that kind of person? It just happened that you came knocking, so they thought you were…”

Actually, the main reason was that Shu Yu was good-looking and young, also it being the New Year’s Eve.

Her family just misunderstood.

Shu Yu coughed lightly, “Sorry, I didn’t mean to disturb you.”

“Not at all.” Wang Changdong dismissed with a wave of his hand, “Lady Lu, did you find your master?”

“Not yet.” Shu Yu sighed, “That’s why I came to you, Brother Wang, to ask about my master’s situation. When you saw my master, what exactly did she say and do?”

Wang Changdong thought for a bit, though he and the Dongqing Temple master exchanged only a few words, he remembered them clearly.

Just as he mentioned the governor, Shu Yu suddenly froze.

Wang Changdong finished speaking, “That’s all she said, then she left, and I immediately came to the county town to find you.”

“Got it, thanks. I won’t disturb your New Year’s Eve dinner anymore, farewell.”

Shu Yu left, and Wang Changdong saw her out. As soon as he closed the yard door, he faced the questioning eyes of his family.

Wang Changdong couldn’t help but swallow, “What are you all thinking? That’s Lady Lu, the one I told you about, praised by the governor.” he said, lowering his voice, “Didn’t I tell you? My expectations for moving to the county town depend on her, don’t offend her.”

The Wang Family heaved a sigh of relief.

But then they became anxious again; they seemed somewhat unwelcome to her earlier.

The woman who had opened the door for Shu Yu slapped her thigh, “Oh no, it’s the New Year, when you went to her house, her old lady even gave you sweets and pastries, and when she came to our house, she didn’t even have a cup of tea.”

Saying that, she slapped Wang Changdong hard, “Why didn’t you say so earlier?”

She hurried into the house to grab the New Year gifts she had planned to give others and rushed out.

But outside, there was no sign of Shu Yu; she and Meng Yunzheng had already walked far away.

The two, leading a mule, walked quickly as they were worried about the old lady waiting at home.

But Meng Yunzheng noticed that since leaving the Wang Family, Shu Yu had a strange expression, seemingly deep in thought.

He called her twice before she came to her senses, “What is it?”
