Chapter 666 The old lady was very worried

"Grandma, what are you looking at?" Shu Yu asked, leaning close to the old lady and looking up.

The old lady withdrew her gaze and glanced at her sideways. "It's nothing, I was just standing in the yard for a while to digest my food."

Shu Yu suppressed a laugh, "So what did you hear just now?"

"What could I hear from this far away?" The old lady tapped her head impatiently. She just felt that the two of them had been standing alone in that corner for too long, so she deliberately spoke up to remind them.

If it were any other day when there were few people at home, it wouldn't be a problem, but today Madam Hou and the Sixth Miss are staying here, so of course we have to be careful about how we behave.

Shu Yu held the old lady's hand and said, "We're talking about serious business."

"Do we need to go to a corner to talk about serious matters?" The old lady looked around, saw no one else, then lowered her voice and whispered in Shu Yu's ear, "Ah Yu, you and Young Master Meng, you two..."

"Grandma, I'm still an exiled prisoner right now. We'll talk about it when I'm no longer one."

The old lady's eyes widened. So, so the two of them really had that kind of feeling?

Her voice immediately dropped even lower, "Actually, Grandma thinks highly of Young Master Meng. Look at him, he's handsome, knowledgeable, skilled in martial arts, and of good character. The fact that you were able to travel safely on your exile journey is largely thanks to his support. His actions are beyond reproach."

The old lady had always liked Meng Yunzheng. Before Shu Yu was exiled, she thought it would be great if such a fine young man were her grandson-in-law.

But at that time, Meng Yunzheng was mute. In the eyes of the old women in the farm, no matter how learned or good-looking a person was, being unable to speak was a huge flaw. If he were to be with Ayu, it would be a disservice to Ayu.

Later, when Shu Yu was exiled, Meng Yunzheng was no longer mute, and the old lady dared not even think about it.

Now that she heard the two of them were interested in that kind of thing, she started to worry instead. "But Ayu, we've known each other for so long, and we still don't know anything about Young Master Meng's background. Isn't that..."

One look at Meng Yunzheng and you know he's a well-mannered young master from a prominent family. Even if Young Master Meng doesn't mind, what about his family? Don't they mind either?

What if I mind and it's not good for Ayu?

The old lady was so worried that she felt she wouldn't be able to eat tomorrow.

Seeing her frowning and sighing, Shu Yu quickly put her arm around her shoulder and said, "Grandma, don't worry. No matter who he is, I will protect myself. Think about it, I'm not the kind of person who would let myself be taken advantage of, right? My older sister was wronged, so I let her get a divorce. Why wouldn't I? If you're really worried, I'll find out his identity, how many people are in his family, whether his parents are easy to get along with, whether he has any siblings, and how much property he has..."

The old woman quickly covered her mouth. "Alright, look at you, you're getting more and more nonsensical. Forget it, this matter is still a long way off. Let's talk about it after you leave Zhengdao Village."

Shu Yu smiled and then helped the old lady into the house.

That night, Shuyu slept with the old lady Sanya. The next morning, when the three of them got up, Houshi and the sixth young lady were already up and helping to boil water in the kitchen.

Upon seeing them arrive, Madam Hou hurriedly said, "Ayu, I saw that your brother and his friend left home early this morning."

Hou had developed a biological clock and would get up before dawn. Just as she stepped out of her room, she saw Meng Yunzheng and the other man preparing to leave.
