Chapter 1212 Serves Him Right

Xiaoyun lowered her voice, "I saw Qiuju and Chen Xiucai together, and the two of them were... intimate."

She couldn't quite put her finger on what made them so intimate, but judging from Qiuju's demeanor, actions, and the way she spoke, it seemed as if she was intentionally or unintentionally seducing Chen Xiucai.

Shu Yu raised an eyebrow. "You mean, Qiu Ju deliberately kept quiet because she wanted Kong Zhiyou to continue with the birthday banquet, lose face, and even have a falling out with her husband, so that she could take advantage of the situation?"

Xiaoyun thought so, but then felt it was too hasty, so she hesitated, "Maybe?"

Ding Yuehua: "What do you mean 'probably'? It's definitely true."

She looked at Xiaoyun, "You knew about this yesterday, why didn't you tell me?"

Xiaoyun said helplessly, "Miss, I wanted to say this as soon as I got back, but as soon as I mentioned Mrs. Chen's name, you said that since we're not in contact anymore, we shouldn't mention her again."

Seeing that Miss seemed very happy ever since Mr. Lu returned, she stopped mentioning those unpleasant things.

Who knew that things would turn out this way today, that we would match up like this?

Seeing that her mistress had taken the initiative to talk to Lu Xiangjun, she took the opportunity to share her own guesses.

Ding Yuehua snorted coldly, "Serves her right, she doesn't trust me, she has impure thoughts."

That's what she said, but she was also ashamed of Qiu Ju's behavior. After all, she and Kong Zhiyou had been friends for many years. Although she knew that Kong Zhiyou's character wasn't very good, Ding Yuehua wouldn't feel comfortable if she were to be completely manipulated by a maid.

She hesitated for a moment, "Should I go and remind her?"

Shu Yu glanced at her sideways. "Do you think she'll believe you or Qiu Ju?"

Ding Yuehua said decisively, "Forget it, I'm not going. We've already fallen out, so who cares how she lives in the future? Whether she lives well or poorly is all her own doing."

Shu Yu smiled. Yes, who cares? When Qiu Ju grows up and becomes independent, these two will probably fight each other to the death.

Although Shu Yu and Kong Zhiyou had no conflict, Shu Yu's invitation of guests under her own name was indeed disgusting to her.

Ding Yuehua took Shu Yu's hand and said, "Let's not talk about her. Let's go inside quickly. I wonder if the magistrate's wife has arrived yet."

Madam Xiao definitely didn't come. Not to mention that no one in Jiangyuan County has a higher status than her, even in the capital, she is a noble lady of the Xiao family and the wife of the heir. Therefore, even if she is the hostess of the banquet today, others should wait for her, and there is no reason for her to wait for others.

However, everyone else knew this, so the guests arrived very early.

Shu Yu thought the time was neither too early nor too late, but when she entered the peach blossom forest, it was already full of people.

This is located on the southwest side of the peach blossom grove. It is a relatively private place, surrounded by water on two sides and high walls on the other two sides. Only one path leads in from the outside, making the environment very elegant.

As long as we stand guard at the door, no one else can get in.

Shu Yu and Ding Yuehua gave out invitations and then stepped into the peach grove.

Before Xiao Shi even arrived, Shu Yu had already become a hot commodity.

She was thinking of finding a quiet corner with Ding Yuehua to sit and have some tea and chat, but who knew that as soon as she appeared, she was surrounded by a lot of people.

Shu Yu was somewhat bewildered, but Ding Yuehua seemed to remember something, slapped her forehead hard, and muttered, "How could I have almost forgotten about this?"
