Chapter 1221 Lu Sanzhu: I'm Deeply Scheming

Lu Sanzhu was furious at the thought. Well, Cao Changlin not only wanted to deal with him, but he also clearly wanted to drag A Yu down with him.

He gritted his teeth and started rolling up his sleeves, wanting to turn around and settle scores with someone.

He rolled up his sleeves halfway, then suddenly remembered why he had come to see Shu Yu. He quickly put his sleeves down, slapped his forehead, and said, "I almost forgot. After you left the pavilion, the magistrate's wife was still there. I heard what she was saying to the servants."

Lu Sanzhu quickly told Shu Yu what he had heard.

Shu Yu frowned after hearing this. She had also suspected this when Xiao Shi was so eager and proactive in introducing people to her.

Did she really think she had fallen for... Xiang Weinan?

Lu Sanzhu stroked his chin. "But judging from what she said, it seems she won't do anything to you, at least not secretly. I still appreciate that. It's just that she thinks a bit too much."

Shu Yu nodded, "Indeed."

"Do you think she's encountered something like this before? Now that she sees how outstanding our Ayu is, she's become wary. Ayu, do you think Lord Xiang has many concubines? Is that why she sees everyone as having ill intentions?"

Shu Yu glanced at him sideways, "Why are you so gossipy?"

"I..." Wasn't he just curious? Although he often called Hu Li his brother, that paper brother was very tight-lipped and never revealed anything about Master Xiang.

Lu Sanzhu had no other options but to ask Shu Yu for help.

He looked sincere and said, "I promise I won't tell anyone."

Shu Yu smiled, "Then, Third Uncle, I'll satisfy your curiosity. Lord Xiang is the heir of a count's family in the capital. And this county magistrate's wife's cousin is the Third Prince, and her aunt is Consort Xiao in the palace."

Lu Sanzhu stared wide-eyed at her in disbelief. "You, you mean Lord Xiang has such a powerful background?"

The heir of the Earl's family? Or a relative of a prince?

That's terrifying.

Shu Yu continued to laugh, "Are you still going to keep asking about that couple?"

Lu Sanzhu shook his head vigorously, like a rattle-drum, and immediately covered his mouth.

What Shu Yu admired most about him was that Lu Sanzhu was very good at seeing the situation clearly. Especially after working in this peach blossom forest and seeing more of the world, he became even more pragmatic in this regard.

He used to think that Xiang Weinan and his niece had a good relationship, and Hu Li also had a good relationship with him, so they were quite harmonious and close, and he couldn't help but gossip.

Upon hearing that the other party's status was so much higher than his own, he decided not to get involved.

Shu Yu: "Alright, Third Uncle, I've kept everything you said in mind. But you, you've been in the water for so long and just got ashore, your hair is still wet. Go dry it quickly and make some ginger soup."

She shouldn't have said anything, because as soon as she did, Lu Sanzhu sneezed violently.

Shu Yu immediately took a step back.

Lu Sanzhu sniffed. "Alright, I'm leaving then."

"Hey, wait a minute, what about that Cao Lin guy?"

Lu Sanzhu waved his hand, "Don't worry about this, I'll handle it myself. That bastard dared to scheme against me, if I don't retaliate, he won't know how many eyes Master Ma has."

He's no innocent lamb; he's incredibly cunning!

Lu Sanzhu left, and Shu Yu shook her head and returned to the peach blossom forest.

For the rest of the time, she spent most of her time with Ding Yuehua.
