Chapter 780 Master Shu's Plans

Shu Yu didn't see them clearly at first, but when she got closer, she realized that the two were actually the second master and second mistress of the Shu family.

How did they get here?

Shu Yu raised an eyebrow, stepped forward, and asked, "You've come to see me?"

Master Shu's expression was very complicated. Although he could see the eldest son's former adopted daughter every day, apart from registering her name each time, they acted as if they had never met.

This was the first time he had taken the initiative to see her since arriving in this place of exile.

The second madam, however, managed a forced smile and said, "Third Miss..."

"Just call me Miss Lu. Don't you usually call me Manager Lu when we're at the manor?"

The second madam's expression stiffened slightly, but given the circumstances, she had no choice but to change her words, "Miss Lu, we came to see you today to inquire about the matter of Madam Hou and the Sixth Miss."

Shu Yu raised an eyebrow, "The Hou family?"

Master Shu finally coughed lightly and spoke, “Yes, the New Year is just around the corner. After all, Madam Hou is my aunt, and Sixth Miss is my daughter. The Shu family may be in decline now, but the New Year should still be a time for family reunion. Since you know where she is, please tell her to come home. This will always be her home. I am her husband and the father of my daughter.”

Shu Yu looked at him with an incredulous expression. "Should I pass on the message for you?"

Master Shu immediately changed his tune, "If you don't have time, you can tell me the address, and I'll go find her myself. After all, it was because I slapped her when she and her daughter left. I've reflected on it seriously over time, and I was indeed too impulsive. Now that I want her back, I'll go and invite her myself; that shows my sincerity."

Even prisoners in Zhengdao Village have two and a half days off during important holidays like the Lunar New Year.

Starting from the afternoon of Lunar New Year's Eve and ending on the second day of the Lunar New Year, work will officially resume on the third day. It's quite humane, actually.

After all, not all the prisoners exiled here are like the Shu family, penniless and struggling to make ends meet.

Some families were quite well-off, and they also had caring family members who gave them money.

So during the Spring Festival, they can go to the county town to buy some New Year's goods so that they can have a good New Year.

Even prisoners should have something to look forward to, shouldn't they?

Master Shu thought that as long as Shu Yu gave him the address, he could take advantage of the holiday to go see the Hou mother and daughter.

Since they don't have any money, they don't need to buy any New Year's goods.

But finding the Hou family is a different story. The Hou family is definitely living a better life than anyone else in the Shu family.

The second wife chimed in, "Miss Lu, as the saying goes, it's better to tear down ten temples than to break up one marriage. Hou is, after all, Master's concubine; she still cares about him. She left so resolutely because she was angry. But thinking back, it's the New Year, and she definitely wants to be with Master. Not to mention Sixth Miss, she'll only be twelve after the New Year; she ultimately longs for her father's affection. Don't you think so?"

Shu Yu looked the second wife up and down. "So, the Hou family and the second master are married?"

The second madam's expression changed slightly. Hou Shi? She's the only one with a proper marriage to the master. What is Hou Shi? She only humbled herself to get Hou Shi back. Is Lu Shuyu pretending to be stupid or is she really stupid?
