Chapter 1212: Serves Her Right
Xiao Yun lowered her voice, "I saw Qiu Ju and Chen Xiucai together, and they seemed... intimate."
She couldn't pinpoint exactly what made them appear intimate, but Qiu Ju's gestures, expressions, and the way she spoke seemed like she was intentionally trying to attract Chen Xiucai's attention.
Shu Yu raised an eyebrow, "Are you suggesting that Qiu Ju deliberately kept it a secret, wanting to continue with the birthday banquet and then embarr...

Chapter 1211: Seeing Kong Zhi You's True Colors
Ding Yuehua realized that both Kong Zhi You and her husband had come for Shu Yu, or more accurately, for the support of the influential families behind Shu Yu, like the Qi and Yao families.
Feeling uncomfortable with the situation, Ding Yuehua left the celebration early after dinner, thinking that the matter would eventually fade away.
However, the next day, Kong Zhi You paid her a visit.
Kong Zhi You was typically ge...

Seeing Ding Yuehua's reaction, Shu Yu was taken aback and looked at her with confusion.
On the other side, Kong Zhi You also noticed them. When she first saw Shu Yu, her face brightened with a smile, and she seemed ready to come over and greet them.
However, the next moment, her expression changed upon noticing Ding Yuehua beside Shu Yu. She furrowed her brows and turned around, walking away without saying a word.

Chapter 1209: Location at Peach Blossom Forest
In the vast Jiangyuan County, Shu Yu, as the village chief, held a prestigious position. If she didn't attend the banquet, outsiders might speculate about her relationship with the County magistrate, especially when their relationship was already quite good.
Ding Yuehua comforted Shu Yu, "Luckily, it's not a very formal banquet. The location is at Peach Blossom Forest, so it's probably just a casual stroll to enjoy the flowers. We c...

With Little Songle's situation temporarily settled, Shu Yu felt relieved. She informed her fourth aunt about Little Songle's condition, and from time to time, her fourth aunt would bring along Quan Quan and Xiao Zhen to play with him.
Quan Quan now had a new playmate of the same age and often clamored to visit his grandmother's house.
Shu Yu started to focus on the construction of the workshop. After finalizing the layout and basic deta...

Xiao Songle was indeed hiding behind the wall, watching them. Although he was scared, he also felt envious.
"But he's not used to it yet. Quan Quan is about the same age as him, so let Quan Quan approach him first, okay?" Shu Yu suggested.
"Sure." An Ning nodded, released Shu Yu's hand, and ran back t...

Shu Yu followed Xiao Songle's gaze and saw Quan Quan playing joyfully with the cat named "Zhao Cai."
Zhao Cai was the stray cat that Shu Yu had adopted. Initially, it lived with the Lu family and had a great relationship with the twins.
When Shu Yu was exiled and the Lu family's second branch followed her to the southwest, it was inconvenient to bring the cat along during the journey. So, Shu Yu entrusted Zhao Cai to Lu SiXing to ta...

Turning the corner, she headed straight for Fenghuai Street, where she could take her carriage and leave the city.

Moreover, it was the Black Market. Her uncle, Yuan Shanchuan, had lived there for a period of time and knew that it was a complicated place with hidden passages and secret rooms. It took a lot of effort to build it.
She couldn't help but ask, "How much does the hill and the mansion cost together?"

Xiang Weinan picked up the iron token and looked at Shu Yu with a smile, "So, in the end, you didn't use it?"
"Well, I did accept your kind gesture," Shu Yu replied.
Yeah, you accepted it, and then you gave me gifts from the capital? Xiang Weinan snorted, feeling that this brat Yunzheng was being unreasonable. He was a local of the capital, who would fall for such trickery intended for outsiders? How could he be so shameless!

Shu Yu went to talk to Zhao Xi about Xiao Song Le's behavior.
Zhao Xi was also surprised, "Afraid of children? That's troublesome. You have quite a few younger siblings in your family."
