The Ace Bigshot Becomes A Farmgirl

Along the way they ran into quite a few villagers. Seeing how warm Aunt Fang was being, someone finally couldn’t help asking, ”Sister-in-law from the Fang Family, is this a relative of yours?”

Aunt Fang straightened her chest. ”If only I had a relative like this. This is the county magistrate, Wen’an County Lord.”

The villagers looked at one another. Some sized her up curiously, some didn’t care much. Before being exiled here, most of them hadn’t been of low status.

Still, they couldn’t help feeling a bit envious. After all, now they were prisoners, trapped here doing hard labor, their future a bleak fog. This county magistrate, on the other hand, ate well, dressed warmly, had servants to wait on her, and could go wherever she wished.

Aunt Fang quickly brought Shu Yu back home. Before they even stepped inside, she called out loudly, ”Ayue, Ayue, come out quickly, see who’s here?”

After Fang Xiyue and Ma Lu married, they still spent most of their time living at home. Ma Lu had previously shared a place with several brothers, and it wasn’t convenient once Fang Xiyue moved over, so the couple ended up living with the Fang Family.

Later, when Ma Lu went to work for the governor and left Righteous Dao Village, Fang Xiyue naturally followed him.

Only after more than half a year passed did Fang Xiyue become pregnant.

Ma Lu, a grown man right at the stage where he wanted to make a name for himself in front of the Lord, was often so busy that he didn’t get home until midnight. When an urgent matter came up, he had to get up and go out even in the dead of night.

Yet he was all alone, with no kin of his own. Not only the Fang Family, even Ma Lu himself couldn’t feel at ease leaving Fang Xiyue like that.

So Fang Xiyue went back to Righteous Dao Village to rest during her pregnancy, and after giving birth she did her month of confinement at the Fang Family as well.

Now the child was still small and stayed at her side, living at her mother’s home. As for Ma Lu, he could only find time now and then to come back a few times to see his wife and child.

At this moment Fang Xiyue had just finished changing the baby’s diaper in the room. Hearing her mother’s voice, she froze for a moment, thinking Ma Lu had come back.

Who knew that when she came out, she would see someone she never would have dared imagine.

”A... Ayu?!”

Shu Yu smiled. ”Long time no see.”

”You, you, you...” She was so shocked she couldn’t even form her words.

Aunt Fang laughed. ”Alright, don’t stand here talking, go inside first. Ayue, bring the child out and let Yu have a look; I’ll go to the kitchen and pour you some tea.”

The Fang Family instantly became lively. Fang Xiyue was very happy, but after walking just a few steps she kept glancing back at Meng Yunzheng from time to time, feeling he looked somewhat familiar.

Not until Meng Yunzheng and Zhao Xi stood together did she suddenly open her eyes wide. ”Isn’t he the Sir who helped us that time when we went up the mountain to hunt the tiger?”

Aunt Fang had never seen Meng Yunzheng, but Fang Xiyue had.

Thinking of it, if it hadn’t been for Meng Yunzheng that time, their tiger hunt wouldn’t have gone so smoothly.

This Young Master Meng’s martial arts were truly impressive. After she married Ma Lu, she would often hear him reminisce about that day’s tiger hunt, saying he really wanted to see this Young Master Meng again. Who would have thought he’d become Yu’s husband?

Shu Yu, while placing the silver lock in the baby’s swaddling, answered with certainty, ”That’s him.”

Fang Xiyue turned her head, saw what she was doing, and hurriedly stopped her. ”Yu, what are you doing? You already sent us so many things before; there’s really no need to give the child such an expensive silver lock.”

”This is from me to the child, what are you being polite with me for?” Shu Yu blocked her and conveniently changed the subject. ”Right, in a bit I still have to go by the Xu Family and the Zhang Family. They haven’t moved away, have they?”

The Zhang Family was near the Shu family.
