Shu Yu got off the cart, and some villagers quickly turned and ran to find the village chief. Others wanted to approach Shu Yu for a conversation, but Ying Xi, acting as her personal maid and guard, dutifully blocked their way.
One person hesitated, awkwardly laughed twice, and backed off.
Unaware of this, Shu Yu took a few steps forward.
The people gathered ahead were still busy watching the commotion, pointing and discussing. Shu Yu vaguely heard Lan Hua's name mentioned.
She tapped the shoulder of an excited woman in front of her and asked in a low voice, "What happened?"
Without turning her head, the woman whispered, "The person sitting at the door is the youngest son of the Geng family. Wasn't he engaged to Lan Hua? But then he found out that Lan Hua's cousin was exiled, so the Geng family backed out of the engagement. Now, after learning that her cousin became the village lord, he shamelessly wants to come and make amends. Tsk, where does he get the audacity?"
"Make amends?" Shu Yu squinted.
The woman nodded. "Yes, he said that he wanted to marry Lan Hua after seeing her earlier. When news spread that the second Miss Lu was exiled, he didn't even think about breaking off the engagement. Unfortunately, his parents confined him to the house, so he couldn't go anywhere. The decision to break off the engagement was his parents' idea, not his own. So, early this morning, he came over, sat at the door, and insisted on seeing Lan Hua."
Another woman beside her chimed in, "Actually, I think what he says might be true. When he came to break off the engagement, only his parents were present, and I didn't see him. Seeing his current appearance, it seems he truly liked Lan Hua."
As she spoke, she casually lifted her head.
The next moment, she froze. "Village... Village lord Lu!"
The woman standing in front of Shu Yu was about to retort, but upon hearing this address, she suddenly turned around, her eyes widening.
Shu Yu smiled at both of them. "Let me through."
"Uh, yes, yes, please, Village lord, come in."
The strange behavior of the two women caught the attention of others, and a path quickly cleared in front of Shu Yu.
Accompanied by Ying Xi, Shu Yu walked unimpeded to the entrance of the Lu family's house and finally saw the young man from the Geng family.
He was sitting on the steps at the entrance, looking pitiful and disheveled. His hair was messy, and there was blood on his forehead, whether from a collision or a knock was unclear.
His bloodshot eyes showed signs of weakness, and he appeared extremely thin. The shoes on his feet were covered in mud, as if he had been running around.
At a glance, he seemed genuinely regretful and filled with suffering, evoking sympathy from those in the same village.
No wonder the local women were starting to believe his words.
Shu Yu stood in front of him, and the man lifted his head. "You..."
Very well, his voice was hoarse.
Shu Yu smiled. "You must be Geng Qi Fei?"
"Yes, it's me." Geng Qi Fei looked her up and down, then heard the murmurs of other villagers and quickly realized her identity.
He propped himself up with his palm on the ground, clumsily stood up, and innocently asked, "Who are you?"
Shu Yu chuckled and turned to Ying Xi. "He's blocking the door. Throw him out."
"Yes, miss."
Ying Xi was strong and grabbed Geng Qi Fei by the collar. Unfortunately, she was too short, so she could only pull him forward. Geng Qi Fei stumbled and was forced down the steps, landing on the ground.
