Chapter 804: Li Shi Wants to Divorce
The news of Shu Yu's exile was not really a secret anymore. Even if everyone tried to hide it from Li Shi, after such a long time and the sudden departure of the second branch, she must have been curious and found out.
What surprised Shu Yu was Li Shi's reaction upon finding out.
In Da Bao's letter, it said, "eldest Aunt wants to divorce Uncle?"
"What?!" Grandma was shocked, and the others sat up straight, their expressions becoming serious.
Shu Yu said, "After Eldest aunt found out about my exile, fearing that it would affect the first branch, she demanded that Uncle cut off ties with our family. Uncle and Da Niu both disagreed, so Eldest aunt threatened to divorce Uncle."
Li Shi probably never thought about this possibility before. But after what happened to Da Ya last year, it opened up a new line of thought for her.
After Shu Yu finished reading, she couldn't help but look at Grandma.
Grandma, on the other hand, had an unusually calm expression, so calm that it was abnormal.
After a while, she laughed coldly, "Did they divorce?"
Shu Yu smiled wryly, "No."
How could they really get divorced? It was just something Li Shi said to threaten Uncle. Lu Sanzhu was someone who loved to stir up trouble, and the wording in the letter was exaggerated.
But if Uncle had really divorced Li Shi, Da Niu wouldn't have kept it a secret.
Grandma felt somewhat regretful about the situation. "They should get divorced. Li Shi is even more confused than your Third Aunt. She doesn't consider that if she could really bring trouble to us, would she wait until now?"
Shu Yu gently grabbed Grandma's hand to comfort her. "Grandma, don't be angry. We already know Eldest Aunt's temperament. Let's continue reading."
Grandma responded with an "Mm," and Shu Yu continued reading.
The rest of the letter consisted of various trivial matters. Lu Sanzhu mainly described some jokes from the first branch. He was considerate and didn't mention the matters concerning the third branch, otherwise, who knows who would be laughing at whom?
Regarding the tea and local specialties Shu Yu sent, Lu Sanzhu expressed gratitude in nearly half a page, implying that he hoped they would send more in the future if there were any good things.
After reading it, Shu Yu couldn't help but shake her head. Then, she realized that there was another page behind Da Bao's letter, which she hadn't noticed earlier. When she took it out and looked at it, she saw neat handwriting, flowing more smoothly than the letters written by Da Niu.
The handwriting seemed somewhat familiar.
She looked at the signature and exclaimed in surprise, "It's a letter from Tang Wenqian."
Tang Wenqian?
The Lu family members leaned over, asking, "Why did Master Tang send a letter? What does it say?"
Shu Yu quickly scanned the letter and whispered, "He's apologizing to me. He said he had wanted to send an apology earlier, but didn't know the detailed address. Now that we've sent local specialties back, he knew the Lu family wanted to reply, so he included the letter in the package."
Grandma sighed, "It's not his fault. He never thought of revealing it. I heard that because of this incident, the Tang family was even brought to the county office for interrogation by Master Xiang."
Tang Wenqian's mother was quite frightened at the time and fell ill afterward.
Shu Yu smiled and continued reading the contents of the letter, "But it turned out to be a blessing in disguise. Master Tang had participated in the provincial examination in the capital city, and the results have been announced. Although his ranking wasn't very high, he passed the exam and is now a juren, serving in the county office under Master Xiang's guidance."
