Chapter 2311: Fourth Miss Is Already Married

Shu Quan knew that the ten taels of silver were actually a reward for providing information. He had to see real benefits to make him genuinely help them.

The idea of helping Sixth Miss pay her respects was just an excuse.

However, seeing his mother so delighted, Shu Quan was satisfied with the outcome.

The Second Madam was still elated, saying, "Your method is really effective. Leveraging the relationship between your father and Sixth Miss, it's sure to work."

She didn't know about Shu Quan's intention to exchange messages with Shu Yu; she only learned about Shu Yu's visit in the evening and had scolded him. However, her son suggested that they visit Shu Yu and extract some benefits from her.

The Second Madam thought that Shu Yu's fiery temperament would likely lead to a disadvantageous outcome.

Little did she know that they had succeeded.

Shu Quan smiled and replied, "Mother, you don't know that Shu Yu, as a person, might not care about her own reputation, but she definitely cares about her friend's reputation. We could see that when she helped Aunt Hou and Sixth Miss in the past. Now that Aunt Hou and her daughter are living well, if any minor issues arise, it won't be something she'd like to see."

The Second Madam sourly said, "That's because they're living well now. Otherwise, why would she be so generous? She gave ten taels at once."

"She's a county princess now, and I heard that she's also doing business, making a fortune. It's hard to believe she has such abilities."

"No matter how capable she is, it doesn't concern us anymore. Now that we have this silver, let's buy some meat tomorrow. It's been a long time since we smelled the aroma of meat. We can invite your sister and her husband over to enjoy a good meal."

Unlike the eldest daughter of the Shu family in the main house, the fourth daughter of the second house was already married.

She used to be fierce and unreasonable but quickly grew up when she got caught up in the competition for the family head position between her father and brother. She adapted to the current situation and reality much faster than the eldest daughter in the main house.

Later, when Second Master received money from Lord Wan and took charge of the second house, he arranged a marriage for his fourth daughter. Her husband was not outstanding, and he was older than her by over ten years.

When the fourth daughter learned that her marriage had been arranged like this, she was disheartened. After causing a scene, she eventually accepted her fate. However, after marrying, her husband took good care of her. He was diligent, and gradually, their life became peaceful and harmonious.

The Second Madam was not satisfied with her son-in-law initially, but as time went by, she felt he was acceptable. At least, he was better than the eldest daughter, who couldn't find a husband. Especially now, with the birth of their daughter, even the fourth daughter had become plumper, and she stopped complaining.

Having received ten taels of silver, the Second Madam was also thinking about her daughter.

Shu Quan nodded and agreed. He allowed his mother to keep the silver, and the two of them continued to chat quietly while heading back home.

Once they left, a man from a nearby household, who had been eavesdropping on their conversation, quietly returned to his house without any suspicions.

Shu Yu and her group returned to the Fang family's home for dinner as if nothing had happened.

After enjoying a hearty meal, they leisurely returned to the residence at the estate, where House Steward Yu had prepared a room for them.

It wasn't until they were alone in the room that Shu Yu and Meng Yunzheng opened the note Shu Quan had given them.
