The Ace Bigshot Becomes A Farmgirl

Chapter 1212: Chapter 1212: Serves Her Right

Xiao Yun lowered her voice, “I saw Qiuju and Scholar Chen together, the two of them were somewhat… intimate.”

She couldn’t quite put her finger on where the intimacy was, but looking at Qiuju’s demeanor and way of speaking, it seemed as if she was intentionally or unintentionally seducing Scholar Chen.

Shu Yu raised an eyebrow, “You mean, Qiuju is deliberately keeping silent, wanting Kong Zhiyou to continue with the birthday banquet, then embarrass herself, maybe even have some discord with her husband so she could slip in?”

That was what Xiao Yun thought, but she felt it was too presumptuous, so she hesitated a bit, “Maybe?”

Ding Yuehua, “What maybe, definitely so.”

She looked at Xiao Yun, “You knew this yesterday, why didn’t you tell me?”

Xiao Yun was a bit exasperated, “Miss, I wanted to say it when I got back, but as soon as I brought up Mrs. Chen’s name, you said since they don’t interact anymore, we shouldn’t mention her again.”

Ever since Monarch Lu Xiang returned, Miss had been so happy that she didn’t want to bring up those unpleasant things.

Who knew today would align so coincidentally, coming together like this?

Seeing the Miss speaking with Monarch Lu Xiang proactively, she took the opportunity to share her suspicions.

Ding Yuehua snorted coldly, “Serves her right, for not believing me and having impure intentions.”

That’s what she said, but neither did she despise Qiuju’s behavior. After all, Ding Yuehua and Kong Zhiyou had been friends for many years. Though she knew by now that her character wasn’t great, if she were played around by a maid, it wouldn’t sit well with Ding Yuehua.

She hesitated, “Should I remind her face to face?”

Shu Yu shot her a sidelong glance, “Do you think she’ll believe you, or Qiuju?”

Ding Yuehua decisively, “Forget it, no point going. It’s all fallen apart; who cares how she fares in the future. Whether good or bad, it’s all of her own making.”

Shu Yu laughed, indeed, who cares? When Qiuju’s wings grow strong someday, these two would likely fight till chaos ensues.

Even though Shu Yu had no real conflicts with Kong Zhiyou, using her name to invite guests did irk her.

Ding Yuehua hooked arms with Shu Yu, “Let’s not talk about her. Let’s go inside quickly, I wonder if Madam of County Magistrate has arrived.”

Miss Xiao definitely hadn’t arrived. Not only was there no one in Jiangyuan County with a status higher than hers, but even in the capital, she was the noble Miss Xiao, wife of the prince. Therefore, even if today she was the host of the banquet, it would only be others waiting for her, never her waiting for others.

However, everyone knew this, hence the guests arrived very early.

Shu Yu thought this time was neither too early nor too late, but as soon as she entered Peach Blossom Forest, it was already full of people.

This was the southwestern edge of Peach Blossom Forest, a relatively private place, bordered by water on two sides, with high walls on the other two sides, having only one path to enter from outside, and the setting was very elegant.

As long as someone was stationed at the entrance, no others could get in.

Shu Yu and Ding Yuehua handed over the invitation, then stepped into the peach forest.

Since Miss Xiao hadn’t arrived, Shu Yu became quite the center of attention.

She was thinking of finding a corner with Ding Yuehua to sit peacefully, drink some tea, and chat, but as soon as she appeared, she was instantly surrounded by many people.

Shu Yu was a bit bewildered, while Ding Yuehua suddenly remembered something, slapped her forehead hard, and muttered to herself, “How did I almost forget this?”
