Shu Yu smiled and said, "That's normal. If I were in their shoes, I'd take the opportunity to wander around the workshop area too. Don't worry, since they've come, they'll eventually come to find me. We'll just wait for them."
"Alright, then I'll go back to the workshop."
"Sure... When you go back, ask Old Yang to keep an eye on the gate. If anyone inquires, just handle it like he did today, steer the conversation away from the workshop. Also, inform the two managers to be cautious as usual."
"Understood, I got it."
After Da Niu nodded and left, Shu Yu instructed the two apprentices in the shop to pay attention as there might be people coming to inquire about her in the next few days.
Shu Yu speculated that they would hide their identities and make a trip to the workshop first, probably also inquiring about her in the county.
As expected, the next day, two strangers indeed visited the shop.
However, Shu Yu wasn't there at the time, but the description matched those two visitors.
She thought they would probably find her within a few days.
Little did she know, while waiting, three days passed, and there was no sign of the two strangers.
Shu Yu began to doubt if she had guessed wrong, and these people might not have come from the capital at all.
At the same time, Ren Huai also harbored suspicions about the information he had gathered.
"She carried an axe and went to her maternal uncle's house, cutting off his leg?"
Following behind him, Manager Xu entered the lodging house, closed the door, poured them both a cup of tea, and sighed, "This Lu Xiangjun, turned out to be such a reckless and impulsive person."
Ren Huai rubbed his forehead, "Indeed, I thought she was a clever and intelligent person, having developed the heating packs and possessing sunflower seeds that others have never seen before. I assumed she was a talented individual. However, I didn't expect her to act so recklessly, only resorting to brute force to solve problems."
"Perhaps it's because of her youthful exuberance. I heard she only came of age last year. For a girl her age, it's normal to be enraged at those who have harmed her and caused her separation from her parents."
"Even if she's angry, she should consider her reputation," Ren Huai disapproved of Shu Yu's actions. Having come from a prominent family, he was well aware of the dark side of the inner courtyard.
Speaking of which, even his cousin, born as a girl, was considered a calamity to the family according to a fortune-teller. When she was born, his grandmother threw her into the mountains. However, she survived and was taken in by a nunnery.
His grandmother didn't like her, and the life she led was probably difficult to imagine. Despite that, she still tried to maintain a good reputation for the sake of her family. After marrying someone, she continued to interact frequently with her natal family because she still needed their support.
However, Lu Shu Yu was now the village Lord. Even though it was just a small county, such an unfilial reputation would be detrimental to her.
Manager Xu sighed, "Speaking of which, Lu Xiangjun is truly lucky. After being exiled to the southwest, she encountered Lord Qi. With a fortuitous turn of events, she developed the heating packs, and Lord Qi was willing to help her present them. With Lord Qi's protection along the way, she can indeed act arrogantly in this small county. The young lady County princess Zhang wanted to trouble her, but Lord Qi conveniently presented the coming-of-age gift, scaring County princess Zhang away. Even the County Magistrate of Jiangyuan County now regards her highly."
"But this protective card from Lord Qi will eventually be used up."
"Master, what should we do now?"
