Chapter 1064 The Cause and Effect of County Princess Zhang Intercepting the Goods

Shu Yu was taken aback. "These two white horses, you're giving them to me?"

Ding Yuehua nodded repeatedly, "Of course they're for you. After that County Princess Zhang was scared out of her wits yesterday, I figured she wouldn't dare to covet these two horses anymore. So after leaving your house, I went straight to Donggu County, told the Wu family, and they gave me these two white horses on the spot."

Shu Yu, “…” So you said goodbye and went home after dinner yesterday, actually to go to Donggu County to buy horses?

"You, you..."

Ding Yuehua had already led her to the two horses. "Look, aren't these two white horses nice?"

"Yes, that's right."

"Then you can take it home later."

Shu Yu shook her head, "That won't do, you've already given me two horses." One of them was even ridden by Zhao Xi to chase after Meng Yunzheng.

Thinking of this, Shu Yu's gaze towards the two horses became slightly more intense, and a certain thought in her heart grew stronger.

She wanted to go to the capital.

"Alright then, I'll buy these two horses from you."

Ding Yuehua was unhappy. "Why buy anything? I'll give you those two horses, and I'll give you this one too."

"No, it's too expensive."

Ding Yuehua couldn't help but glare at her, then pursed her lips and said with a hint of annoyance, "How about we consider these two horses as an apology?"

"Apologize? What do you mean by apologizing?" Shu Yu was puzzled. Weren't things fine? They even had dinner together yesterday, so why would she need to apologize?

Ding Yuehua took a deep breath, pulled her aside, and whispered, "I went home yesterday and found out that the reason why Princess Zhang intercepted these two horses was related to my mother-in-law."

"Um?"

“Last time the family divided, my mother-in-law suffered a great loss. The more she thought about it, the more uncomfortable she became. After thinking it over, she realized that the cause was those two blueprints, and she held a grudge against you. However, you are a local magistrate and know Lord Yao in the capital. She dared not offend you, but she was unwilling to give up, so she thought of Princess Zhang.”

Madam Yu had met Princess Zhang before. She had a friend in the prefectural city and had once attended one of Princess Zhang's gatherings by using this friend's invitation.

Of course, it was just a one-time meeting; she didn't know her and hadn't initially considered making a move on Lady Zhang.

She was feeling stifled because of the family division and her falling out with Madam Mei, and she was feeling depressed at home. Coincidentally, this friend invited her to the prefectural city, so she took the opportunity to go and clear her head.

On this trip, he poured out his grievances to his friends, talking about the faults of his daughters-in-law and how the powerful Lu Xiangjun had caused him to suffer.

The friend was impatient to hear about her family's troubles, but suddenly became interested when she mentioned Lord Lu. She then told Madam Yu about how Princess Zhang wanted to propose marriage for her younger brother, but Lord Lu had refused.

This matter wasn't a secret; the matchmaker who came to propose marriage wasn't tight-lipped, and anyone who paid even a little attention to Princess Zhang would know about it.

Upon hearing this, Ms. Yu immediately became excited.

So not only her, but even Princess Zhang doesn't have a good impression of Lord Lu? That's truly a wonderful thing.

Princess Zhang is of far higher status than Lady Lu. For her to cause trouble for Lady Lu is just a matter of lifting a finger.

Of course, the Yu family dared not get involved in these matters.

But she can secretly exacerbate the conflict between the two, and Lu Xiangjun will definitely suffer in the end.

Therefore, she secretly revealed to County Princess Zhang that Lord Lu wanted to buy the two white horses from the Wu family in Donggu County.
