Chapter 1260 Shu Feng's Misdeeds
However, the Ho family was not so fortunate.
As the distance between the two families widened and their living standards changed significantly, the He family began to feel resentful. Naturally, they were delighted to learn that the prefect's son had taken a liking to their daughter.
But Madam He was not willing. She had feelings for Xia Yan, and besides, she had a wife but would not become a concubine. Wouldn't that be degrading herself?
He's parents were so disappointed in their son that they joined forces with Shu Feng to frame the Xia family.
The Xia family got into a lawsuit, were imprisoned, and lost all their wealth, ending in complete ruin.
Later, the entire family of three was sold off. Given this situation, it was naturally impossible for He Shi to remarry Xia Yan.
Hearing that her parents were responsible for the Xia family's tragic end, He couldn't bear it and attempted suicide by jumping into the river. Fortunately, she was rescued.
Coincidentally, the person who saved her was Shu Feng's wife.
He became Shu Feng's wife's maid. With his wife protecting her, Shu Feng couldn't lay a finger on her.
Moreover, the Shu family was facing numerous troubles during that period, and Shu Feng quickly forgot about He Shi's situation. Later, Shu Feng divorced his wife, and she was taken back to her family home, with He Shi leaving with her.
It is said that He Shi has already married and has completely severed ties with Xia Yan. Given their circumstances, it would be impossible for them not to.
As for Xia Yan, shortly after he was sold to his master's family, his parents died soon after, due to illnesses they had developed in prison.
Xia Yan did quite well; he was educated and knew some martial arts, which earned him the favor of his master.
Who knew that he would be favored by the young lady of the main family? Naturally, the main family could not tolerate him and sold him off again, which is how he met Meng Yunzheng.
Upon hearing this, Shu Yu couldn't help but turn back and glance at Xia Yan again.
Perhaps due to some psychological trauma, Xia Yan quickly lowered his head.
Shu Yu, "..."
Meng Yunzheng turned his head back and smiled, "What are you looking at?"
Shu Yu tightened her lips and said in a serious tone, "Just now, he was standing next to you, and you made him seem almost invisible. I didn't even notice what he looked like. Now I'm just curious to see what kind of face he has that made you, Miss, take a liking to him."
Although Meng Yunzheng knew she was lying through her teeth, he couldn't help but feel better.
Seeing this, Shu Yu immediately changed the subject, "Besides Xia Yan, how many other people did you buy?"
"There was also a family of three, a couple with a son who was about thirteen or fourteen years old. The woman used to be a wet nurse for a wealthy family, so she was experienced in taking care of children. It would be perfect for her to take care of Xiao Song Le."
As they spoke, the group arrived at the entrance of the manor.
Shu Yu also met the family of three that Meng Yunzheng had mentioned. All three of them were a little reserved and greeted Shu Yu very respectfully.
Shu Yu told them to rest at the estate for a while, and then prepared to go for a walk in the fields.
Meng Yunzheng accompanied her again; this time it was just the two of them.
The sunflowers are growing very well, and Da Niu is taking great care of them. There are always people patrolling the field, and the closer they get to harvest time, the less they dare to relax.
When they see Shuyu, they will greet her warmly.
Meng Yunzheng laughed and said, "The people you picked are all quite good."
"I have good taste."
Meng Yunzheng chuckled, but his gaze suddenly froze when he looked up.
Shu Yu followed his gaze and looked in that direction... it seemed to be the black market.
Shu Yu still had a headache thinking about this, and neither she nor Xiang Weinan could think of a good solution for the time being.
