The Ace Bigshot Becomes A Farmgirl

Shu Yu glanced at Little Song Le, who was frequently observing the door, and decisively said to Xia Yan, ”We’re heading to the Hong Family first, you should tell Yun when he comes back.”

Xia Yan immediately agreed.

Shu Yu picked up the items and took Little Song Le to the carriage.

The Hong Family was only three streets away, not too far, and the carriage stopped at the alley entrance within a quarter of an hour.

To Shu Yu’s surprise, the Hong Family seemed... quite lively today.

The front door of the Hong Family was wide open, and standing at the entrance, one could see the scene inside—the courtyard seemed to have four tables set up, with many bowls and plates on them.

It wasn’t lunchtime yet, so although there were quite a few people sitting around the tables, most were just chatting.

Shu Yu exchanged a glance with Ying Xi, ”Why do I feel like they’re having a feast here? Is there a celebration at the Hong Family?”

The situation seemed unsuitable for visiting Aunt Hong.

Just as Shu Yu was considering whether to return another day, someone in the courtyard noticed them.

Shu Yu herself was quite striking, and in such a small alley, carrying items and dressed elegantly, she naturally attracted attention.

Ms. Yu hurriedly came out, smiling as she asked Shu Yu, ”Miss, who are you looking for?”

Ms. Yu was Aunt Hong’s eldest daughter-in-law and didn’t recognize Shu Yu, as they had only exchanged a glance before and hardly spoke. She just felt that Shu Yu seemed familiar but wasn’t confident enough to recognize her.

Now that someone had come out, it wouldn’t be polite for Shu Yu to leave.

She nodded, ”I’m looking for Aunt Hong; is she home?”

”Yes, yes, yes, my mother is at home. Miss, do you know my mom? Are you here to celebrate her birthday?”

Ms. Yu looked at Shu Yu and Ying Xi, who were carrying various items, her eyes lighting up slightly, moving to let them come in.

Shu Yu was taken aback, a birthday celebration?

Today is Aunt Hong’s birthday? No wonder it’s this lively; it turns out they arrived at just the right moment.

Shu Yu, holding Little Song Le’s hand, entered the house under the curious and surprised gazes of everyone in the courtyard.

Over there, Ms. Yu’s youngest son had quickly run into Aunt Hong’s room, excitedly shouting, ”Grandmother, someone outside is looking for you; she seems to be a young lady from a wealthy family.”

In the room, besides Aunt Hong, there were a few others around her age, all chatting; upon hearing this, they were all taken aback.

Even Aunt Hong herself was stunned, ”A young lady from a wealthy family?”

”Yes, carrying a lot of packages, saying she’s here to celebrate your birthday.”

The others immediately congratulated Aunt Hong, but Aunt Hong frowned; she was quite sure she didn’t know any young ladies from wealthy families. Did she really come to celebrate her birthday?

Despite her doubts, she already stood up hurriedly, heading outside.

Just as she reached the living room, Ms. Yu had brought Shu Yu and the others in.

Both parties met in the living room, Ms. Yu smiling brightly, ”Mother, this young lady is here to celebrate your birthday. You, when did you know such a notable young lady and didn’t tell us a word? We weren’t prepared at all; what if we don’t host them well?”

Aunt Hong gave her a glance, then lifted her head to look at Shu Yu.

Initially confused, she gradually grew more surprised, and finally, somewhat excitedly exclaimed, ”You, are you Lady Lu?!”

”Does Aunt Hong still remember me?”

Of course she remembered. Over the years, someone with the exceptional demeanor and appearance of Lady Lu, Aunt Hong had seen only one.
