Chapter 2307: The Bickering Sisters-in-law

Once upon a time, Shu Yu was just a neglected illegitimate daughter who suffered mistreatment from her aunt, was ignored by her siblings, and led a harsh life.

But now, she was a county princess, protected by her talented and handsome husband. She had clever and loyal maidservants, an enviable title, and wore exquisite clothes adorned with valuable accessories. Her every move radiated an air of nobility. Standing in front of someone like her, Miss Shu felt utterly out of place.

Especially when Shu Yu casually mentioned her "freedom" to go wherever she pleased, Miss Shu couldn't help but clench her fists, and her eyes filled with resentment.

The more she thought about it, the more unwilling she felt. Her eyes turned redder, and her voice became menacing. "What are you so proud of?"

Shu Yu asked, somewhat surprised, "Did I say something overly offensive just now? Why does she act like I bullied her?"

Meng Yunzheng turned to her and pushed a strand of hair from her cheek, smiling. "No, she probably feels guilty about how she mistreated you when you were at the Shu family and can't face you now."

Shu Yu suddenly understood. "I see."

Miss Shu shouted, "You're all too arrogant!"

Her scream instantly caught the attention of the villagers, and a courtyard door swung open.

Wu Shi stepped out, asking, "Big sister, what's wrong? Why are you crying?"

Seeing Wu Shi made Miss Shu even angrier, especially when she appeared in front of Shu Yu. Hearing her address Shu Yu as "big sister," she felt utterly humiliated.

So she directed her anger towards Wu Shi, "Why did you come out? Have you finished all the chores at home? All you do is slack off every day. My brother's life went downhill after he married you. He's truly unlucky."

Shu Yu and Meng Yunzheng exchanged glances. These two sisters-in-law had been quarreling for so long that no one from the Shu family came out anymore. It seemed that everyone had given up.

Since that was the case, they decided to leave.

While the family drama continued behind them, Shu Yu and her group headed in the opposite direction, toward the Xu family's house.

Before they reached the Xu family's door, someone hurriedly ran towards them.

Shu Yu found the person somewhat familiar and asked tentatively, "Xu Zhensheng?"

The young man on the other side scratched his head. "It's me."

When Shu Yu had first met Xu Zhensheng, he was just a quiet and skinny boy of about ten years old.

Five years had passed since then, and although he was still quite thin, he had suddenly grown taller, now standing at a similar height to Shu Yu.
