Chapter 1065: Yu Shi's Frightening Illness Again
Shu Yu was planning to buy horses, and she didn't keep it a secret that she had asked Ding Yuehua to help her find them. As Ding Yuehua's mother-in-law, Yu Shi naturally knew about it early on.
She held a grudge against Shu Yu and thought, since she couldn't do anything else, it wouldn't be difficult to make her dream of getting those two white horses for half a month come to nothing. So, when County Princess Zhang received the message spread by Yu Shi, she immediately went to the Wu family to claim the two white horses. However, the Wu family claimed that the horses were sick.
"Well, then they can stay sick forever."
Meanwhile, County princess Zhang learned that Ding Yuehua wanted those two white horses as a birthday gift for Lu Xiangjun.
County princess Zhang felt increasingly frustrated as she gained little advantage from those two horses. On the day of Shu Yu's coming-of-age ceremony, she decided to humiliate her in front of the public, so that Shu Yu would lose face and stop being so arrogant and ignorant.
However, it turned out that she was the one who ended up losing face.
County princess Zhang was unaware of Yu Shi's involvement behind the scenes, but Ding Yuehua accidentally overheard her and Mei Shi arguing about it after returning from the Lu family's residence.
This made Ding Yuehua furious, and she confronted Yu Shi to learn the whole story.
Yu Shi was shocked by Ding Yuehua's knowledge, or else she wouldn't have spilled everything.
After hearing the whole story, Ding Yuehua was so angry that she almost wanted to take action. But Yu Shi was her mother-in-law, and she couldn't hit or scold her, so she had to suppress her anger. She quickly went to Donggu County to bring those two horses and offer them as compensation to Shu Yu.
Upon hearing the story, Shu Yu furrowed her brows and said, "She may be your mother-in-law, but you are not responsible for her actions. You don't need to apologize for her."
Ding Yuehua sighed helplessly and rubbed her forehead. "If you put it that way, should I have never met you?"
"That's going too far," Shu Yu replied. "But in the end, all this happened because of me."
It was because Shu Yu wanted to help Ding Yuehua split from her family that she faced Yu Shi's resentment and retaliation.
"I understand what you mean, but for now, let's consider these two white horses as my mother-in-law's way of apologizing to you. Later, I will ask her for money. She's terrified right now, afraid that you might find out about her schemes and seek revenge. When I ask her for money, she won't dare to refuse," Ding Yuehua explained.
What she didn't mention was that Yu Shi had fallen ill from fright again.
Shu Yu decided not to pursue the matter of buying the horses with money anymore. With Xiang Weinan's skills, he could probably uncover Yu Shi's involvement once he questioned County princess Zhang.
She estimated that Yu Shi would have to pay a hefty price and learn her lesson.
Shu Yu stopped paying attention to Yu Shi. At this moment, she looked at the two white horses in front of her, and the desire to go to the capital grew stronger.
In fact, she couldn't wait any longer.
Taking a deep breath, she turned to Zhou Qiao and said, "Big sister-in-law."
Zhou Qiao approached as soon as Shu Yu and Ding Yuehua finished talking. "What's the matter, Ah Yu?"
"I have some urgent matters to attend to, please tell Big Brother and the others for me. As for Yu Dao's deed, you can have Big Brother sign it for him."
Zhou Qiao was puzzled, "You're leaving now?"
"Yes."
Xiang Xi had already smartly brought the mule cart to the outside of the manor, and they immediately got on it. Shu Yu waved to Zhou Qiao before heading to the county with Ding Yuehua, taking the two horses with them.
Shu Yu didn't exchange many words with Ding Yuehua. When they reached Fenghuai Street, they went their separate ways and returned home.
