Chapter 2306 The Second Wife Moved Out
Aunt Zhang was still a little reluctant to part with them, and saw them to the door.
Meng Yunzheng looked at Xia Yan, who shook his head at him and said in a low voice, "No one from the Shu family came out, and we didn't see Shu Quan either."
They thought that since they had made such a big commotion, Shu Quan would have heard about it and would eventually find a chance to meet them.
Shu Yu couldn't help but glance at the Shu family. Aunt Zhang had been watching her the whole time, and seeing this, she quickly whispered, "The Shu family is quite well-behaved now, don't worry, they won't cause you any trouble."
She was aware of the grudges between Shu Yu and the Shu family, and assumed that Shu Yu still held a grudge against them, so she offered a few words of explanation.
"The eldest and second branches of the Shu family had a falling out a long time ago. After the second branch moved out, the eldest branch..."
Before she could finish speaking, Shu Yu suddenly asked in surprise, "The second wife moved out?"
She really didn't know about this; it hadn't been mentioned in her previous correspondence with Fang Xiyue.
Aunt Zhang nodded. "Yes, the eldest and second branches of the Shu family were fighting fiercely, neither willing to give in. But they were short of money, so they had no choice but to continue living under the same roof. Who knew the second branch would become successful? A few months after you left, a high-ranking official from the capital came to the second son of the Shu family and said he wanted to take away one of his concubines, Hou Shi. You should know about that, right?"
Seeing Shu Yu nod, she continued, "Then, in order to make life easier, Shu the Second agreed and even received some money. As soon as the second wife's life improved, she moved out immediately."
So that's how it is.
Shu Yu nodded and casually said, "It's their own doing to live like this. Oh well, I haven't had anything to do with them for a long time, so why should I care how they live?"
"Yes, you are now a county princess, and there is no difference between you and them. Don't worry about it."
Shu Yu then said goodbye to Aunt Zhang and told her not to see her off.
After walking more than ten meters away from the Zhang family's house, she whispered to Fang Xiyue, "Do you know where the second branch of the Shu family moved to?"
"It's near the Xu family's house."
Shu Yu, “…” What a coincidence! She was just about to go to the Xu family’s house.
Just then, someone on the left suddenly shouted in shock, "Lu Shuyu?!"
The group turned around in unison and saw a somewhat familiar figure standing there.
Shu Yu raised her eyebrows. "The eldest daughter of the Shu family."
She turned to face her, "We meet again."
Speaking of the eldest daughter of the Shu family, she is quite interesting. Shu Feng got married again two years ago, but she has never married.
She must be twenty-one this year.
Fang Xiyue said that the First Madam had introduced her to potential marriage partners, but she had high standards. Even though the Shu family was not doing well now and she herself had become an exiled prisoner, she still looked down on the men in the village and town, always feeling that they were not good enough for her.
After all these years, she still hasn't come to terms with reality.
Now that she's older, it's no longer a matter of whether she likes or dislikes other men; rather, the men who arrange marriages for her are mostly widowers or families who want to take a concubine.
It must have been tough on Shu Feng's new wife. Not only did she have to deal with a hypocritical husband and a difficult mother-in-law, but she also had to serve her troublesome sister-in-law.
"Lu Shuyu, what are you doing here?"
Shu Yu found the question somewhat amusing. "Why can't I be here? I'm not like you; I'm free and can go wherever I want."
These words almost made Miss Shu vomit blood. Looking at Shu Yu in front of her, and then at the calluses on her hands, her rough skin, and her patched clothes, she felt terrible.
