The Ace Bigshot Becomes A Farmgirl

Chapter 683: Chapter 683: One More Impressive Than the Other Chapter 683: Chapter 683: One More Impressive Than the Other Lu Erbai looked at her doubtfully for a moment, then decided not to ask further, but he could guess that Boss He’s arrest must have been orchestrated by his daughter.

He smiled, stood up, and dusted off his robe, “Alright, if you say it’s not you, it’s not you. Come on, let’s go back inside and talk.”

The two of them came out of the kitchen and returned to the living room only to see the old lady and several others picking corn kernels.

Now that Boss He’s issue had been resolved, Madam Ruan and Daya planned to set up their stall again tomorrow since they’d also promised their regular customers.

Shu Yu sat on the side helping them. It was rare for the family to gather together like this and chat about household matters, creating an especially warm atmosphere.

Shu Yu spoke about the events in Righteous Dao Village and naturally mentioned the Shus.

She no longer kept the Shu family’s actions a secret. When she said that Second Young Lady’s death was caused by Second Madam’s poisoning, everyone from the Lu family gasped in shock. Follow current novᴇls on ɴoᴠel Fɪre.nᴇt

“This, both Second Young Lady and Second Madam, really are formidable in their own ways.”

The Lu family, being simple farmers, might argue or fight with others, but they were just scuffles and threats–nothing truly lethal.

Sure enough, the dark secrets of wealthy families were not so simple.

Daya couldn’t help but grasp Shu Yu’s hand; she would never harm her sister like Second Young Lady had done.

Shu Yu patted her back in return–people are indeed different.

While the Lu family discussed the Shus, at that very moment, the Shus were also discussing her and Madam Hou.

Both men and women of the Shu family had gone to work in the wasteland early that day.

Shu Feng and Shu Quan had wanted to go hunting in the mountains from the beginning, but considering their recent arrival, they thought it best to observe for a couple of days before deciding.

However, what they didn’t expect was to arrive at the wasteland and not see Madam Hou and Sixth Young Lady.

Shu Yu had gone hunting in the mountains and was resting for two days, which they had already heard about.

But even if Madam Hou and her daughter were temporarily staying with the Lu family, shouldn’t they be working in the fields during the day? But for a whole day, the Shus saw no sign of them.

Exhausted, the family returned home in the evening and began to speculate together.

“Could it be that after they met with the governor yesterday, he pardoned their crimes and released them?” Miss Four guessed.

“That’s impossible; there are no such rules,” Shu Feng shook his head. “The governor can grant some favor at best, but he certainly has no authority, nor would he pardon their crimes at this time. Besides, Madam Hou is only my uncle’s concubine, and Sixth Young Lady is the daughter of the Shu family. If anyone is to be pardoned, it would have to start with my uncle.”
