Chapter 1035 The Marriage Arranged by the Zhang Family?
Shu Yu suspected that this county princess might have a grudge against the Shu family, but now that the Shu family members had all been exiled, the county princess had no way to take revenge, so she blamed all the scores on her.
Shu Yu thought this County Magistrate Zhang was crazy.
However, the next moment, Ding Yuehua asked, "Ayu, did you reject the marriage proposal from the Zhang family?"
Shu Yu, "..."
ha???
She looked completely bewildered. "What marriage?"
Ding Yuehua frowned. "After Wu's elder brother learned that County Princess Zhang wanted those two horses, he immediately tried to dissuade her. So he had someone inquire about the reason why County Princess Zhang wanted the horses. Who knew that he would find out that County Princess Zhang's younger brother had sent a matchmaker to your house to propose marriage. But you refused, and you even looked down on her family."
Shu Yu was completely stunned. The Lady Zhang's brother had actually hired a matchmaker?!
Seeing her like this, Ding Yuehua was surprised, "You don't know?"
Shu Yu thought for a moment, "My grandmother did tell me that since I became the village head, quite a few families have wanted to arrange marriages with my family. Not only my sister, but also me. However, my sister already has a partner, and I haven't reached marriageable age yet. So my grandmother rejected them all. In order not to offend anyone, she didn't even wait for the matchmaker to say who the man was before rejecting them directly."
"So, your old lady had no idea who those families who came to propose marriage were, or that Zhang's family members were among them?"
Shu Yu shook her head. "I don't know."
As she spoke, she narrowed her eyes slightly, "So there's no question of whether or not I look down on her family."
Ding Yuehua thought about the behavior of those matchmakers and sneered, "Most of the time, the matchmakers who came to your door failed to arrange the marriage, and they were afraid that they wouldn't be able to explain it when they got back, so they just pushed all the blame onto your family."
She sighed, "Brother Wu guessed that the reason why County Magistrate Zhang wanted to intercept those two horses was because of this, so he simply refused to sell them to either side to avoid deepening the conflict between you two. You are the village head, and she is the county head. If she wants to deal with you, you will definitely suffer."
Shu Yu was extremely annoyed. "This is clearly an undeserved disaster."
Ding Yuehua was very worried, "Ayu, that County Princess Zhang is unlikely to let this go easily. Intercepting your horse is only the first time; who knows what other tricks she might pull later."
Shu Yu thought that Lady Zhang was really crazy. Who knew if her brother was round or flat, or what he looked like? She was going to target me just because I didn't marry into your family—what else could she be but insane?
Seeing Ding Yuehua's worry, Shu Yu smiled and said, "It's alright, we'll deal with whatever comes our way, there's always a solution."
"But……"
"Don't worry, I'll go to the prefectural city after my birthday to see that County Princess Zhang. If there's any misunderstanding, we can clear it up. If she insists on disliking me and trying to suppress me, I'm not so easy to bully. Don't worry."
Ding Yuehua couldn't think of any other way for the time being, so she could only nod and say, "If you need any help, you must let me know."
"Know."
Ding Yuehua then brought up her birthday celebration, saying, "I can't give you two white horses, so I can only give you two black horses. But don't worry, the two horses I brought are very strong."
"That's enough. I don't need many horses."
That's what she said, but Ding Yuehua still felt it was a pity.
"By the way, after Zhiyou found out about your coming-of-age ceremony, she asked me to bring her along to celebrate with you."
