Shu Yu's family had a total of three carriages and mules, and when combined with Meng's family and Zhao Xi's, they almost surrounded the entire Lu family's house.
Today, Da Niu's family, Cui Hua's family, Lan Hua, Er Niu, and others did not return to the county.
Therefore, the carriages were spacious, and when it was time to leave, Shu Yu saw her three younger sisters squeezed into their narrow carriage, finding it difficult, so she let them come to her carriage to sit.
The three little girls were extremely happy. Although they were a bit restrained, Shu Yu's carriage was indeed very comfortable.
Zhuer Village, where the Zhou family was located, was situated between the county and Shishi Village. Shu Yu had originally planned to drop them off at their home and leave.
However, Zhou's father felt that since the in-laws had come all the way, they should at least have some tea before leaving; otherwise, it would be impolite.
So Shu Yu's carriage stopped at Zhuer Village. The others had already left, leaving only Shu Yu, Grandma Lu, and Ying Xi, who was acting as the coachman, in the carriage.
This was Shu Yu's first time visiting the Zhou family. According to Da Niu, the Zhou family used to live quite well. Even though they didn't get much during the family split due to not having a son, they managed to live a good life through their unity.
But a few years ago, Zhou Qiao's mother fell ill and passed away, and most of their savings were spent on her treatment. Their life became difficult again.
Fortunately, they managed to recover in the past few years, but their house was still the old one, not very big and somewhat dilapidated.
Shu Yu took the tea handed over by Zhou Qiao's second sister and said thank you.
Zhou Qiao's second sister quickly waved her hand, looking very embarrassed, and blushed as she went to the kitchen.
Shu Yu thought to herself, "...I'm only one year older than Zhou Qiao's second sister, but it seems like she treats me like a younger generation treats their elders."
Suddenly feeling a bit old.
Shu Yu didn't delay at the Zhou's house for too long. After drinking some tea out of politeness, she was ready to leave.
Zhou Qiao's father didn't stop them this time and just watched them leave.
As soon as Shu Yu left, the neighboring women who were peeking around immediately came over to inquire.
Zhou Qiao's father wasn't good with words and excused himself, saying he was feeling dizzy from drinking too much, then went back to his room to rest.
So the others approached Zhou Qiao's second couple. Despite appearing envious and jealous in front of Zhou Qiao's father's family, they secretly taunted and cursed them from time to time, but when facing outsiders, Zhou Qiao's second Aunt would smile and say, "Oh, the Lu family might not have a grand ceremony, but their food and drinks are top-notch. Otherwise, why would my husband and big brother drink so much? They're just too happy. Seeing that Qiaoqiao is doing well, we can rest assured... I'm not lying, did you not see just now? That person is Lord Lu Xiangjun, if she didn't value our Qiaoqiao, why would she personally send us back?"
Zhou Qiao's second Aunt knew that she had to cling to Lu Xiangjun, as it would bring them benefits. After all, if people knew that the Lu family treated Zhou Qiao well, they would also benefit from the association.
Sure enough, when the others heard what Zhou Qiao's second Aunt said, they all showed envious looks.
By this time, Shu Yu had already returned to the county with the old lady.
Once she got home, she immediately wrote a letter to Qi Lie. She explained her suspicions and the situation with the bead, then sent it through the channel he provided.
Besides Qi Lie, she also wrote a letter to Meng Yunzheng. Although he was about to participate in the government exam, Shu Yu was worried that if something happened in the capital, it might affect those below. So she wanted to let Meng Yunzheng know, in case he was caught off guard.
