Chapter 1305 The Rumored Shu Yu
Shu Yu smiled and said, "That's normal. If it were me, I would also take the opportunity to wander around the workshop area first. Don't worry, since they're here, they'll come looking for me eventually. We'll just wait."
"Alright, then I'll go back to the workshop and keep an eye on things first."
"Hmm... When you get back, have Old Yang keep an eye on the gate. Anyway, it's the same as today, no matter who asks. Just change the subject and don't mention the workshop. Also, talk to the two managers and tell them to be careful. Everything else is fine as usual."
Da Niu nodded. "Okay, I understand."
After Shu Yu and Da Niu left, he instructed the two shop assistants to keep an eye out, as someone might come looking for information in the next couple of days.
Shu Yu guessed that they would conceal their identities and visit the workshop first, and most likely inquire about her situation in the county town first.
Sure enough, the next day, two strangers came to the shop and wandered around.
Shu Yu wasn't there at the time, but based on the description, it must have been those two people.
She thought that the other party would contact her in a few days.
But after waiting for three days, no one showed up.
Shu Yu was starting to doubt her own guess; these two people might not even be from the capital.
However, what she didn't know was that Ren Huai was also skeptical of the information he had gathered.
"She actually went to her maternal grandfather's house with an axe and chopped off her own uncle's leg?"
Manager Xu followed him into the inn, closed the door, poured them both a cup of tea, and sighed, "This Lord Lu is such a reckless and impulsive person."
Ren Huai rubbed his temples. "Yeah, I thought she must be a smart and shrewd person, since she developed the heating pack and had sunflower seeds that no one else had ever seen before. I didn't expect her to be so reckless and only know how to solve problems with brute force."
"She's probably young and hot-blooded. I heard she just turned 18 last year. It's normal for a girl that age to be furious with the person who sold her and separated her from her parents."
“Even if you’re angry, you still have to consider your reputation.” Ren Huai didn’t agree with Shu Yu’s approach. He was born into a wealthy family and had seen his fair share of the dark side of the inner quarters of the household.
To take a recent example, his cousin was born a girl and was said by a fortune teller to be a jinx who would bring misfortune to her family. Her grandmother abandoned her on a mountain shortly after her birth. Luckily, she survived and was taken in to live in a nunnery.
Her grandmother disliked her, and even if she had survived, her life would have been unimaginable. Despite this, for the sake of her reputation, her cousin still served her grandmother well and tried to please her. Later, after getting married, she maintained close ties with her family, because she still needed their support.
But Lu Shuyu is now the head of the township. Even if this is just a small county town, the reputation of being unfilial will be very detrimental to her if it gets out.
Steward Xu sighed, "Speaking of which, this Lady Lu is really lucky. She was exiled to the southwest and ended up meeting Lord Qi. By chance, she developed a heat pack, and Lord Qi was willing to help her present it. With Lord Qi protecting her all the way, she can indeed act like a tyrant in this small county. When the County Princess Zhang wanted to cause her trouble, Lord Qi happened to send her coming-of-age gift, which scared the County Princess Zhang into not daring to be presumptuous. Even the magistrate of Jiangyuan County values her highly."
"But Lord Qi's protective shield will eventually run out."
"Young Master, what should we do now?"
