The Ace Bigshot Becomes A Farmgirl

Chapter 1191: Chapter 1191 Daniu Shocked

Second Aunt Zhou was still somewhat afraid of Shu Yu. The last time she took money, taking advantage of the rumors of Shu Yu’s exile, she kept persuading Zhou Qiao to divorce and remarry.

Just when she was saying this, Shu Yu overheard her.

Originally, she didn’t think much of it, but the next day she found out that Shu Yu had become a Village Chief.

Since that day, Second Aunt Zhou has been in a state of panic, afraid that Shu Yu would come after her, so she never dared to appear in front of the Lu family, let alone visit Zhou Qiao.

Only after hearing that Zhou Qiao was pregnant did she think of reconnecting.

After all, the Lu family was prospering, not to mention Monarch Lu Xiang, the rest of the Lu family were either running businesses or becoming shopkeepers. Even Daniu, who she didn’t think much of, had become a Village Chief overseeing hundreds of acres and dozens of people.

Second Aunt Zhou didn’t want to miss out on such a niece’s husband. If they got along well, she might get a bit of reflected glory in the future, right?

Just as well, Zhou Qiao’s mother died, and her father didn’t understand things about women being pregnant, so she volunteered to take on this responsibility.

Who knew Daniu and Zhou Qiao wouldn’t let her stay at the Manor? At first, she was unhappy about it, but when she found out Madam Li was also not allowed, she couldn’t say much.

She could only, like Madam Li, visit once every half a month or so. But she always came at different times from Madam Li, and this was the first time they met and then quarreled.

It was also bad luck, the first time something big happened, and coincidentally this Lu family girl came back from the capital!

Second Aunt Zhou suspected she might be at odds with this Monarch Lu Xiang.

Fortunately, Shu Yu didn’t give her more than a few glances. Pulled by Madam Li into the living room for a short while, Daniu came over.

“Yu, shall I take you for a walk in the fields?”

Madam Li immediately glared at her son. “You fool, Yu just came back from the capital, looking wan and sallow, what’s there to see in the fields? She’s a Village Chief, of noble status. Farming is what you and those farmers should do, Yu needs to be pampered as a valuable person.”

Shu Yu, “…”

She slowly extricated her hand from Madam Li’s embrace, looked up at Daniu, and said, “Let’s go, I’ll take a look, and I have to go home in a while.”

Madam Li’s smile froze.

Shu Yu instructed Ying Xi, “Take good care of Little Song Le.” Earlier, when entering the house to have tea, Shu Yu had already put the child down.

At that moment, Little Song Le was eating candy beside Ying Xi.

Ying Xi nodded, holding Little Song Le’s hand, and watched as Shu Yu and Daniu left the Manor.

Once outside, Daniu couldn’t wait to ask, “Who was that child just now?”

He wanted to ask as soon as he saw Shu Yu, but it wasn’t convenient to speak up in front of so many people.

“That child is called Song Le, he’s Young Master Meng’s nephew.”

Daniu was surprised, “Nephew? A relative of Sir Meng in the capital? Speaking of which, why exactly did Sir Meng return to the capital this time?”

Now that things had settled, and the capital was abuzz with it, there was no need for Shu Yu to hide it from her family.

When Daniu asked, she told him everything as it was.

Daniu stopped in his tracks, completely stunned, his speech stuttering, “So-so your meaning is, is Young Master Meng the son of the Minister of Public Works??”

“Didn’t I say? That’s false. His father is Escort Uncle Meng.” This identity had been confirmed in front of the emperor, so naturally, this was the story for everyone.
