Chapter 1221: Chapter 1221: Lu Sanzhu: I Am Deeply Scheming
Third Lu was infuriated when he thought about this. Well, this Cao Changlin not only wanted to deal with him, but also obviously intended to drag Yu into the mess.
He gritted his teeth and started rolling up his sleeves, wanting to turn around and find someone to settle the score.
Halfway through rolling up his sleeves, he suddenly remembered why he had come to find Shu Yu, and quickly put his sleeves down, slapped his forehead, and said, “I almost forgot. After you left the pavilion, the Madam of the County Magistrate was still there. I heard what she said to the servants.”
Third Lu quickly told Shu Yu the news he had overheard.
After listening, Shu Yu frowned. She had also suspected this when the Xiao Family was so actively and urgently trying to introduce people to her.
Did they really think she had fallen for… Xiang Weinan?
Third Lu touched his chin, “But from her words, it seems like she won’t really do anything to you, at least not harm you secretly. I quite appreciate that. But this person, they just think too much.”
Shu Yu nodded, “Indeed.”
“Do you think she encountered something like this before, and now she sees our family’s Yu being so outstanding and becomes vigilant? Yu, do you think Lord Xiang has many concubines, which makes her suspicious of everyone?”
Shu Yu gave him a sidelong glance, “Why are you so nosy?”
“I… isn’t it because I’m curious? Although I often call Hu Li my brother, that paper brother of mine is very tight-lipped and doesn’t let any information about Lord Xiang slip out.”
Third Lu had no other avenues, so he could only ask Shu Yu.
He looked earnest, “I promise I won’t tell anyone.”
Shu Yu smiled, “Then Third Uncle, I’ll satisfy your curiosity. Lord Xiang is the Princely Heir of the Count Mansion in the capital. And this Madam of the County Magistrate, her cousin is the Third Prince, and her aunt is Princess Consort Xiao from the palace.”
Third Lu’s eyes widened in disbelief as he looked at her, “You, you say Lord Xiang has such a high status?”
The Princely Heir of the Count Residence? A relative of the Prince.
Too terrifying.
Shu Yu continued smiling, “Now do you still want to snoop into their married life?”
Third Lu shook his head like a rattle drum and immediately covered his mouth.
The thing Shu Yu appreciated most about him was that Third Lu had a clear understanding of the situation. Especially after working in the Peach Blossom Forest and seeing more of the world, he was even more aware of the times and circumstances.
He previously thought Xiang Weinan and her niece had a good relationship, and since Hu Li also had a good relationship with him, they were relatively harmonious and close, so he couldn’t help being nosy.
Once he heard that the other party’s status was so much higher than his, he stopped meddling.
Shu Yu: “Alright, Third Uncle, I’ve remembered everything you mentioned. But you, you’ve been soaking in the water for so long and just came ashore, your hair is still wet. Go dry it quickly and brew some ginger soup to drink.”
As soon as she mentioned it, Third Lu sneezed heavily.
Shu Yu immediately stepped back.
Third Lu sniffed, “Alright, I’m leaving.”
“Hey, wait, what about that Cao Changlin guy, what should we do about him?”
Third Lu waved his hand, “You don’t need to worry about this, I’ll handle it myself. If he dares to scheme against me, I’ll retaliate so hard he won’t know how many eyes Lord Ma has.”
He was no pushover; he had deep strategies!
Third Lu left, and Shu Yu shook her head and returned to the Peach Blossom Forest.
In the following time, she spent most of her days with Ding Yuehua.
