Chapter 1210 Falling Out
Shu Yu was stunned by what she saw and looked at Ding Yuehua with confusion.
Kong Zhiyou saw them too. The first person she saw was Shu Yu, and a smile unconsciously appeared on her face, as if she wanted to come over and say hello.
But the next moment, upon seeing Ding Yuehua beside Shu Yu, he frowned, turned on his feet, and walked away.
Shu Yu looked at her, then at Ding Yuehua, "You two, did you have a fight?"
Ding Yuehua snorted coldly, "What argument? We've fallen out."
"Why?" In Shu Yu's mind, Ding Yuehua had always been a magnanimous and cheerful person, and she wouldn't hold grudges over small favors or grievances.
How could they have fallen out with a friend of many years?
Ding Yuehua hadn't originally intended to speak, but she hadn't expected the magistrate's wife to also invite Kong Zhiyou. Now that they were facing each other, there was no need for her to hide it any longer.
As she and Shu Yu walked into the peach grove, they whispered to each other, "I always thought she was quite aloof, and very sensible. She wasn't gossipy and was a friend worth having. I never imagined I was wrong. She was just pretending to be aloof."
The story begins with Shu Yu leaving Jiangyuan County for the capital.
On the day of the Lu family's housewarming banquet, Kong Zhiyou initially looked down on the Lu family's guests, who were all country bumpkins, and wanted to leave early. However, she encountered the Zhang County Princess incident, followed by the scene of a high-ranking official from the capital presenting gifts to Shu Yu.
Kong Zhiyou has witnessed Shu Yu's current background from beginning to end, so she naturally wants to befriend him.
So she told Ding Yuehua that her birthday was coming up in a few days and she wanted to make it a big celebration, so she asked her to invite Shu Yu to attend.
Ding Yuehua didn't really like it at that time, but social interactions are just that, so she didn't think there was anything wrong with it and agreed, and also told Shu Yu.
However, Shu Yu left the capital the next day, and soon after, the old lady from the Fan family who lived on the estate started making a fuss, mentioning that she wanted to live with the third branch of the Fan family.
Ding Yuehua was busy dealing with this matter, so she asked Xiaoyun to go to Kong Zhiyou's house to inform her.
When Xiaoyun returned, she said she hadn't seen Kong Zhiyou, but she had spoken to Kong Zhiyou's maid.
Ding Yuehua assumed that Kong Zhiyou knew about it and put the matter out of her mind. After dealing with the old lady's matter, she was busy with the renovation of the new house, so she did not see Kong Zhiyou again.
But halfway through, she received an invitation from Kong Zhiyou, which was indeed an invitation to attend her birthday banquet.
Ding Yuehua felt a pang of guilt after seeing the invitation.
Therefore, when Kong Zhiyou first mentioned holding a birthday banquet, she thought that the other party was after Shu Yu.
When she found out that Shu Yu couldn't go, she still sent invitations to everyone else, feeling that she had misunderstood her friend Kong Zhiyou.
Who knew that on her birthday, Ding Yuehua took Xiaoyun to a banquet, and the first thing Kong Zhiyou said to her was to ask why Lu Xiangjun had not arrived yet.
Ding Yuehua was stunned on the spot. She subconsciously said that Shu Yu went to the capital the day after the housewarming party.
Kong Zhiyou's face immediately fell, but since there were quite a few guests present, she didn't say anything.
Then Ding Yuehua discovered something subtle: Kong Zhiyou's husband was also there to greet the guests, and he was initially very enthusiastic.
After hearing that Shu Yu hadn't come, her husband never appeared again.
