Chapter 663, let's not talk about it yet, it'll scare them to death.
Fang Xiyue immediately took a step back. Ma Lu stood in front of her without making a sound and smiled, "Miss Fang is filial; she gave all her rewards to her parents."
Everyone had strange expressions. Was this girl stupid? She had been forced into the hunting team by Master Lan and suffered all that. She finally managed to hunt a big worm thanks to the third team's help, and she wasn't even trying to get some benefits for herself?
"What about the other girl? Right, why didn't she come out? Where is she?"
Another person in the crowd asked in a loud voice.
Ma Lu looked up and saw that the person was from the fifth team.
Team Five returned empty-handed today, without even a pheasant. Not only did they not receive the food they were entitled to, but they were also punished with a meal. They were extremely resentful.
Seeing that Shu Yu hadn't come out, they were filled with malice, wondering if something had happened, otherwise why was she the only one not present?
Ma Lu glanced at the person who spoke, saw that he had only shouted once and then turned back, scoffed lightly, and then said casually, "Oh, that girl has some things to tell us. As for her, her reward is about the same as ours."
Yes, pretty much. We all get two days off, five catties of grain, two rabbits, and one tael of silver, right?
However, as soon as Ma Lu finished speaking, the other members of the three teams all looked at him, and even Fang Xiyue looked at his back with great confusion.
But no one said a word to undermine him, and when faced with other people's questions, they just chuckled and agreed.
Everyone wanted to ask for more details, especially how they managed to kill the giant worm; they were all very interested.
However, after exchanging only a few words, the three teams complained of being tired, pushed through the crowd, and left the village.
When they walked until no one was following them anymore, the third team members asked curiously, "Boss, why didn't you mention that Miss Lu became the manager of the manor?"
"Yes, it would be good to make those people's jaws drop."
Ma Lu chuckled and lowered his voice, "What's the point of saying this now? Let them be happy for a few days, and then see Miss Lu standing in front of them and distributing food to them. That will be much more impactful. Especially the people in Team Five, who previously looked down on the two girls, but now that they've received rewards while they've received nothing. It'll be quite a sight to see Miss Lu standing in front of them."
The group's eyes lit up. "Hey, that's a great idea! I'd love to see what that looks like."
"Let's not tell anyone, let them think that Miss Lu will receive the same reward as us."
After escorting Fang Xiyue home, Ma Lu and the others returned to their own residence.
While everyone here was celebrating, Shu Yu, the subject of the conversation, remained at the estate.
Wang Changdong asked her to sit down on a stone bench nearby and even poured her a glass of water, which was very considerate. His attitude was completely different from before.
Although Wang Changdong had taken good care of her before, it was only because of the money he was paying. As an official, he always held a superior position in front of her, a prisoner.
Things are different now; their attitude is almost obsequious.
"Miss Lu, I'd like to ask, what is your relationship with Mr. Qi, who serves the governor?"
Shu Yu knew he was asking about this. She pondered for a moment, then smiled and replied, "Actually, it's nothing. We just met once on the way to exile, and I accidentally helped him. Mr. Qi is grateful for the favor, so after we met again, he thought of taking care of me."
As for what she helped with, Shu Yu didn't elaborate.
