Chapter 663: Full-level Boss Dressed As a Peasant Girl
Fang Xiyue immediately took a step back, and Ma Lu stood silently by her side, smiling. "Miss Fang is filial; she gave all her rewards to her parents."
The crowd looked at each other strangely. Could this girl be foolish? She had suffered and endured hardships under master Lan, barely managing to join the hunting team and finally catching a big beast. Shouldn't she be seeking benefits for herself?
"What about the other girl? Oh right, why hasn't she come out? Where is she?"
A person in the crowd shouted loudly.
Ma Lu glanced over and saw that it was someone from the fifth team.
The fifth team returned empty-handed today, not even catching a wild chicken. Not only did they not receive their deserved rations, they were also punished. They felt extremely resentful.
When they saw Shu Yu hadn't come out, malice filled their hearts. They wondered if something had happened to her, otherwise, why was she the only one absent?
Ma Lu glanced at the person who spoke, seeing that he had only yelled a sentence before turning away. He sneered and casually said, "Oh, that girl has something else to attend to. As for her rewards, they're similar to ours."
Indeed, they were similar. Didn't they all receive two days of leave, five catties of grain, two rabbits, and a silver coins?
However, after Ma Lu finished speaking, the other members of the third team looked at him, and even Fang Xiyue looked at his back in confusion.
But no one said anything to spoil the situation. In the face of others' doubts, they all smiled and agreed.
The crowd wanted to ask for more details, especially how they managed to catch the big tiger. They were very intrigued.
However, the members of the third team only said a few casual words before claiming exhaustion and pushing through the crowd to leave the manor.
It wasn't until there was no one following them from behind that the few members of the third team curiously asked, "Boss, why didn't you mention that Miss Lu became the steward of the manor?"
"Yeah, it would've been great to see their jaws drop."
Ma Lu chuckled and lowered his voice. "What's the point of saying it now? It's better to let them be happy for a few days. When they see Miss Lu standing in front of them, distributing rations, that's when it will have an impact. Especially for the members of the fifth team who previously looked down on the two girls. Now that the two of them have received rewards while they have nothing, it will be quite a sight for them to see Miss Lu standing before them."
The others' eyes brightened. "Hey, that's a good idea. I want to see that scene."
"Let's not say anything, let them think that Miss Lu received the same rewards as us."
After Ma Lu and the others escorted Fang Xiyue back home, they returned to their own residence.
While there was joy and celebration on one side, Shu Yu remained in the manor.
Wang Changdong asked her to sit on a stone bench nearby and considerately poured her a glass of water. His attitude... was truly worlds apart from before.
Although Wang Changdong had been considerate towards her in the past, it was mostly because of the silver. He was an official, and in front of her, a prisoner, he had always held the upper hand.
But now, things were different. His attitude could almost be described as attentive.
"Miss Lu, I'd like to ask, what is your relationship with Mr. Qi, the gentleman beside the governor?"
Shu Yu knew he was inquiring about this. After pondering for a moment, she smiled and replied, "Actually, there's no special relationship. We just had a chance encounter on the road during exile, and I accidentally helped him once. Mr. Qi repays kindness, so after we met again, he wanted to take care of me."
As for what kind of help she provided, Shu Yu didn't go into details.
