Chapter 916 A Figure Like a Sucker
Shu Yu glanced around, her voice slightly somber, "I suppose you all know my identity and have probably heard about my exile. I don't know what you think, and I don't care what you think, but I just hope you remember one thing: stay within your bounds."
"You should all know in your hearts that it is no accident that I, a girl who has not yet reached adulthood, was able to return safely from exile and even become a village lord. I am a very easy-going person, and I can listen to anything that makes sense. If you behave yourselves and do your jobs well, I will treat you kindly. But if you do anything you shouldn't do, I don't mind letting you know what I'm capable of."
The people below did know her background, and they also knew that the entire Lu family was just a poor farming household in the village last year.
Their thoughts were naturally complex. Many poor people become arrogant when they suddenly become rich, and they were afraid that the Lu family would be the same.
When they met Lu Erbai and saw that he was approachable and down-to-earth, they breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the family was still as simple and honest as before.
They will naturally compare him to his former master. For the time being, they don't think there's anything wrong with it, but with all these comparisons, it's hard to say what their thoughts will be in the future.
But now Shu Yu's warning came like a bucket of cold water being poured over him.
Yes, she's a young woman who returned safely from exile; she couldn't possibly be a simple character.
The fact that the Lu family dared to travel thousands of miles to pursue them with such determination, even if described as simple and honest, seems inappropriate.
The expressions on everyone's faces changed several times. Shu Yu glanced at them and asked, "Did you all understand?"
"Yes, I understand, Lord Xiang."
"From now on, at home, just call me Second Miss."
"yes."
"Next are your arrangements. Hua Xian, Ying Xi, you'll come back to Liufang Lane with me tomorrow. Ying Dong, you stay here. If anything happens, my father will give you instructions. As for the others, as you've probably seen, the house is currently undergoing renovations. In a couple of days, many laborers will be coming. You can help with cooking and tidying up. If you have any questions, feel free to ask, and I'll try to accommodate reasonable requests."
Everyone quickly agreed.
Shu Yu went to see the rear-facing rooms they had previously prepared. Several of the rear-facing rooms were large communal sleeping areas, and due to limited resources, the windows in some of them needed to be replaced. Therefore, two of the large communal sleeping areas were prepared, along with a few other rooms, which would be used for the time being.
Shu Yu had finished explaining everything that needed to be explained when Ding Yuehua ran over.
She was extremely excited, "Ayu, I love your house so much!"
"Anyway, the Fan family lives nearby. If you have time in the future, come and visit often."
"Okay." Ding Yuehua said happily.
However, she never expected that although the Fan family lived nearby, Ayu was too busy and was not at home most of the time, so she often came up empty-handed.
After finishing her business at the mansion, it was getting late, so Ding Yuehua escorted Shu Yu back to Liufang Lane.
The carriage stopped at the alley entrance, but Ding Yuehua didn't go in; she wanted to go back to the Ding family home to see her mother. She watched as Ayu entered the alley before turning back to go home.
Shu Yu strolled slowly home, but as soon as she opened the gate, she saw a somewhat familiar figure standing in the yard, who looked like a sucker.
