Zhou Qiao's second Aunt was still somewhat afraid of Shu Yu. Last time, she accepted money and took advantage of the news of Shu Yu's exile to persuade Zhou Qiao to remarry.
Unfortunately, she inadvertently spoke behind Shu Yu's back and was overheard.
Initially, she didn't think much of it, but the next day, she found out that she had become the village lord.
Since that day, Zhou Qiao's second Aunt has been in a state of panic, fearing that Shu Yu would hold her accountable. She didn't dare to appear in front of the Lu family or even approach Zhou Qiao.
Only when she heard that Zhou Qiao was pregnant did she think of rekindling their relationship.
After all, the Lu family has become prosperous now. Not only the village lord but also the others in the family have their own businesses. Even Da Niu, whom she never thought highly of, became the manager of hundreds of mu of land and dozens of people.
Zhou Qiao's second Aunt didn't want to miss such a good son-in-law. If they got along well, she could benefit from it too, right?
Coincidentally, Zhou Qiao's mother passed away, and her father didn't know much about women's pregnancy matters, so she volunteered to take on this task.
Unexpectedly, both Da Niu and Zhou Qiao didn't allow her to stay at the estate. At first, she was unhappy, but when she learned that Li Shi was also not allowed, she couldn't say anything.
She could only follow Li Shi's example and visit once every half or a full month. However, she always made sure to avoid overlapping with Li Shi's visits. But this time, they coincidentally met, and then they quarreled.
To make matters worse, it was the first time they had a big fight, just when the daughter of the Lu family returned from the capital!
Zhou Qiao's second Aunt started to wonder if she had some kind of conflict with this Village Lord.
Thankfully, Shu Yu didn't pay much attention to her. After being dragged into the hall by Li Shi, Da Niu came over.
"Ah Yu, would you like to take a walk in the fields?"
Li Shi immediately glared at her son, "You fool, Ah Yu just returned from the capital, looking pale and thin, and you want to take her to the fields? She's the village lord, with a noble status. Leave the farming to those peasants; Ah Yu should be treated like gold and jade."
Shu Yu, "..."
She slowly pulled her hand out of Song Le's embrace, raised her gaze, and said to Da Niu, "Let's go, I want to take a look. I'll have to go back home later."
Li Shi's smile froze.
Shu Yu instructed Ying Xi, "Take good care of Xiao Song Le." When they entered the room to drink tea earlier, Shu Yu had already put down the child.
At this moment, Song Le was standing beside Ying Xi, eating candy.
Ying Xi nodded and held Song Le's hand, watching Shu Yu and Da Niu leave the manor.
Once outside, Da Niu couldn't wait to ask, "Who was that child just now?"
He wanted to ask as soon as he saw Shu Yu, but it wasn't appropriate to do so in front of so many people.
"That child's name is Song Le, he's Meng Yunzheng's cousin."
Da Niu was surprised, "Cousin? Ypung master Meng's relative in the capital? Speaking of which, why did young master Meng go to the capital this time? Is there something important?"
Now that the situation has settled and the rumors have spread throughout the capital, Shu Yu didn't need to hide anything from her family.
Da Niu stopped in his tracks, completely stunned. He stammered, "So, you mean, Young Master Meng is the son of the Ministry of Works' household?"
"Didn't I say it before? It's fake; his father is the escort guard Uncle Meng." Since this identity had been confirmed in front of the emperor, it naturally became the official explanation for everyone.
