Chapter 1007 The Benevolent and Charitable Lu Shuyu

The two were quite dejected for a while, and indeed drank heavily for a few days to drown their sorrows.

Later, the case of Li Xiaoshan and Old Man Cui being killed by Tang Shi caused a sensation in Jiangyuan County. The Wang family's silver was recovered, and Tang Shi was sentenced to death. This matter was discussed by the people for many days.

Gradually, rumors started circulating that this matter was related to Lu Xiangjun.

She was the one who sought justice for the two victims and caught the murderer on the spot.

Not only that, she also adopted the old man Cui's granddaughter and treated her like her own sister.

People outside are saying that Lu Xiangjun is kind, generous, soft-hearted, and sincere. He is a selfless person who would rather save the best things for children in need than eat them himself.

Today, Jiangyuan County even has loyal supporters of Lu Xiangjun.

Shu Yu, "..."

She pressed her temple. "How come I didn't know about this?"

Yingxi thought for a moment, "It's probably because Miss has been too busy these days." She didn't know either. The rumors circulating outside seemed to be completely unrelated to the Miss she knew, if not exactly the same.

Yingxi followed Shuyu around every day until he went to investigate the matter and that's when he found out.

Of course, Manager Qiu wasn't the type to believe everything he heard. He was drunk for several days before waking up, so the news was a bit delayed.

When he heard these rumors, he just scoffed at them.

He had dealt with Shu Yu before, and knew the methods she used to deal with her enemies, and even knew that she dared to go to her maternal grandfather's house with an axe to kill people.

Can such a person be considered a great philanthropist?

However, as more and more people talked about it in Manager Qiu's ear, he inevitably began to waver.

Later, after discussing it with his companion, he decided that the rumors could be believed to some extent. Although Lu Xiangjun wasn't a good person, her status was different now; she needed a good reputation and needed to cultivate a positive image in the public eye.

Since that's the case, then in order to maintain her hypocritical facade, she should do more good deeds, right?

Shu Yu, "A hypocritical...face?"

Ying Xi pursed her lips and straightened her back instantly. "This, this is what Manager Qiu and the others said. I was just, just relaying it."

Shu Yu raised an eyebrow and snorted lightly, "So they think that seeing their miserable state, I'll help them to protect my image. They're actually giving me a chance to do a good deed, but also warning me. If I don't help them, they'll tell everyone that I caused them to lose their livelihood?"

Ying Xi nodded. "That was indeed the idea at first."

"And now?"

"Now... well, I took a dagger into the house yesterday, so they're too scared to go."

Shu Yu: "..." Ying Xi, you're quite capable.

"Miss, did I do something wrong?"

"You did nothing wrong."

Yingxi breathed a sigh of relief, while Shuyu found it amusing; this girl was getting bolder and bolder.

Now that she knew Manager Qiu's plan, Shu Yu understood and stopped worrying about him.

However, her reputation as a great philanthropist is quite troublesome, even a burden.

"Yingxi, do you think I should beat up a few thugs in front of everyone? Would that make them stop thinking I'm a good person?"

Ying Xi thought, "If you beat up thugs and hooligans, the people might think you're doing a service to the people."

She didn't answer; the mule cart had already stopped at the entrance of Yiren Pavilion.

Shu Yu got out of the car and opened the shop with great enthusiasm.
