Chapter 683: Full-level Boss Dressed As a Peasant Girl
Lu Erbai glanced at her suspiciously, but he didn't press further. He smiled, stood up, patted his robe, and said, "Alright, since you say it's not related, then it's not. Come on, let's go back inside and talk."
The two of them left the kitchen and returned to the main room, where they found the old lady and others sorting corn kernels.
Now that Boss He's issue had been resolved, Ruan Shi and Da Ya planned to continue their stall tomorrow. After all, they had promised their loyal customers.
Shu Yu sat by the side to help, and the whole family rarely gathered together like this, discussing various family matters in a warm atmosphere.
Shu Yu mentioned the situation in Zhengdao Village, including her own family's actions. She no longer hide anything.
When she spoke about the death of her second sister, caused by the poisoning by her stepmother, everyone in the Lu family gasped in shock.
"Both the second sister and the stepmother are equally fierce and capable."
The Lu family were simple rural people who, at most, engaged in minor scuffles when they had conflicts with others. Although they often threatened to beat someone to death, they never actually harmed anyone.
It seemed that the wealthy households had much more hidden secrets than they had imagined.
Da Ya couldn't help but hold Shu Yu's hand tightly, promising herself that she would never harm her own sister like the second sister did.
Shu Yu patted her hand in response, acknowledging that people were indeed different from one another.
As the Lu family discussed the Shu family, the Shu family was also discussing Shu Yu and Hou Shi.
The male and female members of the Shu family were all planning to work in the wasteland today.
Although Shu Feng and Shu Quan initially planned to go hunting in the mountains, they decided to observe for a couple of days before making a final decision.
However, what they didn't expect was that when they arrived at the wasteland, they didn't see Hou Shi and her daughter. Shu Yu was going to the mountains to hunt and rest for two days, and they were aware of that.
But Hou Shi and her daughter were supposed to temporarily settle in the Lu family and still needed to work in the fields during the day. Yet, it had been a whole day, and the Shu family hadn't seen them.
Exhausted from a long day's work, the family returned home in the evening and gathered together to speculate.
"Could it be that they met the magistrate yesterday, and he pardoned them, allowing them to go free?" Fourth Miss speculated.
"No, that's not possible. There are no such rules," Shu Feng shook his head. "The magistrate can give her some special treatment, but he doesn't have the authority or the reason to pardon them at a time like this. Besides, Hou Yiniang is only Second Uncle's concubine, and Sixth sister is our own family's daughter. To pardon them, he would have to pardon Second Uncle first."
"Then where could they have gone? We purposely passed by the Lu family's house earlier, but their gate was locked, and it seemed like no one was inside."
"Could it be that the magistrate gave them two days off to go out and play?"
Everyone couldn't figure out what was going on. Finally, Shu Quan grew restless and said, "How could Hou Yiniang have any relationship with the magistrate? Could it be that the magistrate was her benefactor in the past?"
"Nonsense!" Second master suddenly stood up, glaring at him angrily. "Hou Yiniang was just a servant before she followed me. Are you trying to blacken her reputation or cuckold your own father for no reason?"
Shu Quan immediately shrank back, and Shu Feng, looking at the father and son, frowned.
