Chapter 1795: My Grandmother's Name is Fang Caiyue

As Shu Yu entered the house, he saw Grandma Fang sewing clothes. Judging by the style of the clothes, they seemed to be for Yuan Gui.

Grandma Fang was in a good mood, apparently unaware that Yuan Gui didn't want to acknowledge their relationship.

Upon hearing footsteps, Grandma Fang looked up, and upon seeing Shu Yu, she quickly put down the clothes in her hands. "Miss Lu Xiangjun, why have you come? Please, have a seat. Let me fetch some water from the kitchen."

She started to get up, but Shu Yu stopped her and helped her sit down.

"Grandma Fang, no need to rush. I came here today because there's something I want to discuss with you."

Grandma Fang looked puzzled, but seeing the seriousness in Shu Yu's expression and the door being closed by Ying Xi outside, she couldn't help but feel uneasy. She placed her hands awkwardly on her lap and said, "What's the matter? Go ahead and tell me."

Taking a deep breath, Shu Yu said, "First, let me apologize to you."

Grandma Fang waved her hand, giving a bitter smile. "Oh my, what are you saying? You are the village lord. Why should you apologize to an old woman like me? Don't say it, please don't say it."

With a remorseful tone, Shu Yu continued, "I'm sorry, Grandma Fang. I went behind your back and inquired about your past."

Grandma Fang was taken aback, furrowing her brows. "What do you mean?"

"Yesterday, after leaving Hedeng Village, I returned to the county town. I found Grandma Guan from the Guan family in the western part of the city and asked her about your life after you fled the disaster and came to Chenggu County over thirty years ago. I learned... about your past."

Grandma Fang was completely stunned, looking at Shu Yu with confusion.

Even though she had found it strange before, as Lu Xiangjun had asked about her past multiple times, she thought it was just out of curiosity given his young age.

But could curiosity really drive someone to go to such lengths to find out?

"Grandma Fang, I apologize."

Grandma Fang waved her hand dismissively, forcing a smile. "It's fine. It's not something secretive. I didn't mention it before because I felt ashamed of my past and thought it might bring trouble. If you know, you know. Just an old woman's history."

While she said that, the turmoil in Grandma Fang's heart regarding her past couldn't be easily calmed.

She couldn't let go, yet she couldn't do anything about it either.

As she had said, what use was there in bringing up the past? She couldn't seek revenge, and doing so would only add to her troubles and leave her feeling distressed.

Grandma Fang looked up and said, "Village Lord Lu, it's okay. You really didn't have to come here to apologize for this... matter."

"It's not just about this matter."

"Is there something else?"

With a steady gaze, Shu Yu replied, "Grandma Fang, I want to reintroduce myself."

Grandma Fang looked at her with suspicion, not quite understanding what she meant.

"My name is Lu Shu Yu. I live in Shicun, Shishi Village, Jiangyuan county Town, Dong'an Prefecture."

Grandma Fang's eyes widened slowly. Dong'an Prefecture, Shishi Village?

"My father is Lu Erbai, and I have an elder uncle named Lu Dasong."

Grandma Fang's breathing grew slightly faster. Lu Dasong, wasn't that the name of her elder sister's firstborn son? He was already born when they got separated.

Shu Yu continued, "My grandfather is Lu Nanfang, and my grandmother is Lu Fang Shi, her maiden name is Fang Caiyue."

With a loud thud, Grandma Fang suddenly stood up, knocking the chair behind her to the ground.

She looked at Shu Yu in shock, her lips trembling slightly. She wanted to speak, but her mouth was open, and no sound came out.

In a hurry, Shu Yu got up and took a couple of steps forward to support her.

However, Grandma Fang's grip on her arm remained tight. Her gaze was fixed on Shu Yu's face, trying to discern any signs of unusual emotions from her expression.
