The Ace Bigshot Becomes A Farmgirl

Chapter 1201: Chapter 1201 Lu’s Carpentry Shop

Xiang Weinan’s face was grim, but when Xiao Family saw him, she was obviously very happy. She let go of Shu Yu’s hand, walked a few steps to him, and spoke with some excitement, ”Husband, I heard Monarch Lu Xiang is here, so I came to say hello and plan to invite her to sit in the backyard.”

When facing her, Xiang Weinan was not as casual as he was with Shu Yu; he replied with a serious face, ”No need, she still has things to do.”

Xiao Family’s smile instantly became stiff.

Shu Yu felt the atmosphere was indeed awkward and quickly said, ”Sister-in-law, I just got back home yesterday and indeed have many matters to attend to. I took some time today to deliver something to Lord Xiang and must leave immediately. Let’s arrange to catch up over tea another day.”

Xiao Family turned her head, forcing a smile, ”Is that so? Monarch Lu Xiang is indeed a busy person, then I won’t keep you.”

These words... made Shu Yu feel a sudden tightness in her scalp.

Hey, if you two couples have a conflict and want to argue, please don’t involve the innocent.

She glanced at Xiang Weinan again, and he nodded, ”You should go ahead.”

”Alright, you two take your time talking, I’ll be off.”

After saying this, Shu Yu quickly walked towards the gate of the county office, looking as if she wished she could disappear in an instant.

Once she was out of the county office, she turned back to look at the residence in front of her.

Who would have thought that Xiang Weinan’s wife would travel thousands of miles from the capital to Jiangyuan County.

Shu Yu knew that Xiang Weinan was already married; he was older than Meng Yunzheng. For a young talent from such an established family like him, it was naturally impossible to be single.

However, when he came to Jiangyuan County, he had not brought his wife. Xiao Family had always stayed in the capital, living with Xiang Family’s parents.

But Xiang Weinan, an ordinary man with power and wealth, naturally couldn’t be without women around him.

He did bring a concubine, but the concubine always stayed quietly in the backyard. Shu Yu had visited the county office a few times, each time with official business to see Xiang Weinan, and their meeting place was almost always the front courtyard.

Therefore, she had very little interaction with the concubine, having only seen her once by accident.

Regarding the affairs in Xiang Weinan’s backyard, Shu Yu had no intention of getting involved.

However, if Xiao Family continued staying in Jiangyuan County, and given her status as Village Chief, interactions might be inevitable in the future.

Forget it, better ask Zhao Xi about Xiao Family’s background later.

Shu Yu shook her head and quickened her pace.

After leaving the county office, she did not return to Fenghuai Street but walked towards another street instead.

As she walked and searched, she finally stopped in front of a shop that wasn’t exactly remote but wasn’t bustling either.

Looking up at the sign above her head—Lu’s Carpentry Shop.

Shu Yu couldn’t help but laugh; it was indeed here.

This was the shop that Lu Erbai opened after she went to the capital.

The shop currently had four fixed personnel: Lu Erbai, Craftsman Zheng, brother-in-law Lai Jinhai, and her father’s former partner, Liang Wangsheng.

It was said that the shop’s business had been extremely good recently. After her house was renovated, it was followed by the house newly bought by Third Lu, and later Ding Yuehua’s home, all of which were renovated by Lu Erbai.

Unlike when Shu Yu moved and hosted guests, Ding Yuehua and Third Young Master Fan’s friends were all people with business ties, and their housewarming feast was very lively.

Yet, after Ding Yuehua visited Shu Yu’s house, she wanted many of its features replicated in hers.

For example, the bathing area, and the entire wall of wardrobes.
