Chapter 683 Each one is more powerful than the last.
Lu Erbai gave her a suspicious look and didn't ask any further questions, but he had a pretty good idea that He Laoda's arrest was definitely his daughter's doing.
He smiled, stood up, patted his robe, and said, "Alright, if you say it's not, then it's not. Come on, let's go back inside and talk."
The two came out of the kitchen and returned to the main room, where they saw the old lady and several others picking out corn kernels.
Now that He Laoda's problem has been resolved, Ruan Shi and Daya plan to continue setting up their stall tomorrow, after all, they had promised their regular customers.
Shu Yu sat to the side to help. It was a rare family reunion, and the atmosphere was especially warm as they chatted about everyday things.
When Shu Yu talked about the situation in Zhengdao Village, she naturally mentioned the Shu family as well.
She no longer concealed what the Shu family had done. When it was mentioned that the Second Madam had poisoned the Second Miss, everyone in the Lu family gasped in shock.
"These two young ladies are truly remarkable, one more formidable than the other."
The Lu family are all simple, honest farmers. When they have conflicts with others, the most they do is fight or curse. Although they often say they'll beat you to death, they've never actually laid a hand on anyone.
Sure enough, wealthy families have a lot of shady dealings.
Daya couldn't help but grasp Shuyu's hand. She would never, ever do what the second sister did and harm her own sister.
Shu Yu patted her on the shoulder. People are indeed different.
The Lu family was talking about the Shu family, while the Shu family was also talking about her and Aunt Hou.
Everyone in the Shu family, male and female, had to go to work in the wasteland early this morning.
Although Shu Feng and Shu Quan had initially planned to go hunting in the mountains, they had just arrived and wanted to observe for a couple of days before making a decision.
However, to their surprise, they did not find Lady Hou and the Sixth Miss when they arrived at the wasteland.
They had already heard that Shu Yu was going into the mountains to hunt and would be resting for two days.
Even if the Hou family mother and daughter were temporarily staying at the Lu family's house, wouldn't they still have to work in the fields during the day? But the Shu family hadn't seen them all day.
The family returned home exhausted in the evening and then gathered together to speculate.
"Could it be that they met with the governor yesterday, and then the governor pardoned their crimes and released them?" Fourth Sister guessed.
"Impossible, there's no such rule." Shu Feng shook his head. "At most, the governor would give her some preferential treatment, but he has absolutely no right, nor would he pardon them at this time. Besides, Hou is just my second uncle's concubine, and my sixth sister is a daughter of the Shu family. If we were to pardon them, we would have to pardon my second uncle first."
"Where could those two have gone? We deliberately passed by the Lu family's house just now, but their door was locked, and it looked like there was no one inside."
"Could it be that the governor also gave them two days off so they could go out and have fun?"
No one could figure it out. Finally, Shu Quan said in frustration, "How did the Hou family get involved with the governor? Could it be that Lord Cheng was her patron before?"
"What nonsense are you spouting?" Second Master suddenly stood up, glaring at him angrily. "Before she came with me, Hou was a virgin. Are you trying to tarnish Hou's reputation, or are you just giving your father a cuckold's horns?"
Shu Quan immediately shrank back, and Shu Feng's face darkened as he looked at the father and son.
