Chapter 2295 The Second Wife's Chance to Turn the Tables Has Arrived
It seems that everyone in the main branch of the family thought that Wu was stupid and foolish, and that she was guilty and silent, so they didn't think she would cause any trouble. Therefore, although they were wary of her, they didn't guard her too closely.
So not long after, Wu actually heard some news.
The information Wu heard was limited, and most of it consisted of trivial and unimportant matters.
However, Shu Quan still managed to extract several key pieces of information from these events.
Wu mentioned 'King Ding'.
When Shu Quan first heard those two words, he almost jumped up in surprise.
Prince Ding, isn't that the second prince?
Even though Zhengdao Village was remote and poorly informed, Shu Quan knew about the Second Prince and the Third Prince's attempt to rebel at the end of the year before last, which was eventually suppressed by the new emperor.
In the first half of last year, a new batch of exiled prisoners arrived in the southwest, who were the sons of officials implicated in this matter.
Yes, after those prisoners arrived, things started to change in the eldest son's household, and life gradually improved.
Shu Quan thought Shu Feng had truly gone mad. He didn't know what Shu Feng was up to, nor did he understand his stance. But regardless, he shouldn't be involved with the Second Prince. Hadn't the Shu family previously served the Second Prince, only to be discarded as pawns in the end?
What, does Shu Feng want to get involved?
Just as Shu Quan was cursing Shu Feng to death but didn't know what to do, Wu sent him another message.
She said, "The Shu family's adopted daughter, the third daughter named Shu Yu who was often scolded by her mother-in-law and aunt, seemed to have a Taoist nun as her master. They said they would capture that Taoist nun and take revenge on the third daughter."
Shu Quan was stunned when he heard this. A Daoist nun? Does she mean the abbess of Dongqing Temple?
She knew the Dongqing Temple Master was powerful, but she didn't know she was actually Shu Yu's master. No wonder, no wonder she, who was practically invisible in the Shu family, invented that heating pack and even became the village head because of it.
Shu Quan felt a little jealous, but then his eyes lit up and an idea popped into his head.
He felt that he might have found a way to get his family out of their current predicament and turn their lives around completely.
Then he wrote a letter to the Hou family and sent it to the Wan family.
The letter said that Shu Feng seemed to be colluding with the remnants of the Second Prince's forces and had even captured the Abbot of Dongqing Temple in an attempt to use him against Shu Yu. He didn't know Shu Yu's current location or address, but knowing that Consort Hou would surely care about her, he sent the letter to Lord Wan's residence in the capital, asking Consort Hou to inform Shu Yu to be careful and not to come to the southwest.
After finally finishing reading the thick letter, Shu Yu let out a long sigh of relief. Since Shu Feng was going to use his master to lead him to the southwest, then his master was safe now.
Moreover, she suspected that Shu Feng and his group might have captured their master not just to deal with her, otherwise it would be a waste of their talents.
She folded the letter and gently placed it on the table.
Hou asked her, "What do you think? Is what Shu Quan said credible?"
"Mostly credible."
Aunt Hou frowned slightly, "I always felt that there was more to his story than meets the eye when he sent me this letter."
"Then your intuition is right, he deliberately sent it to you," Shu Yu sneered. "Does he really not know my address? If he really just wanted to tip me off, there are many ways. Fang Xiyue's family lives in Zhengdao Village, and we've been in contact. Shu Quan could just ask her."
Hou clapped her hands together and said, "That's right, wouldn't it be more convenient to ask Fang Xiyue for clarification?"
