Shu Yu was different from ordinary people. Ordinary people were afraid of soldiers and wished they could hide far away. It was as if they would be arrested as criminals if they got close to the other party.

However, she did not have such feelings towards the soldiers. She was even willing to interact with the soldiers.

Therefore, she was surprised to see the soldiers guarding the Ding residence.

Later, the soldiers did not stop them when they wanted to enter the house. They did not even make things difficult for them. She felt that the Ding residence would be normal.

However, there were some things that she still wanted to clarify.

I heard that the county magistrate has been arrested, and many of the wealthy families in Jiangyuan County have been called in for questioning by the new official. The family members in the residence are also not allowed to go out. However, the escaped prisoner was caught yesterday, and the rich families were released home. Why did it look like the Lord Ding had not returned?

Xiao Yun was stunned, and astonishment flashed across her face. Shopkeeper Lu knows about this? Then why did she still dare to enter the house with her?

I know more than that. She was the one who caught the fugitive.

Shu Yu and Daya continued to walk forward, and Xiao Yun quickly followed.

This time, she didnt hide it anymore. She smiled bitterly and explained, Shopkeeper Lu guessed right. The other wealthy families in the county town have been released. Only our Lord is still in the county government. The Jiang family of Jiangyuan County originally had an engagement with our family.

The Jiang family? Shu Yu suddenly interrupted her and asked, Is the Jiang family owning the winery?

Yes, its their house.

Shu Yu was surprised. The person she wanted to get close to was the second daughter-in-law of the Jiang family, Madam Deng. Then, she would use

Madam Deng to get to know her cousin, Madam Chang, the wife of the vice minister in the central judicial office.

She did not expect the Jiang family to have an engagement with the Ding family.

Hmm? Wait a minute; when she pa.s.sed the Ding familys entrance just now, she seemed to have heard the words break off the betroth.

Could it be

The next moment, Xiao Yun said, The young master of the Jiang family is engaged to The third Miss. They were also called to the county government office. Yesterday, all the wealthy families, including Lord Jiang, returned home. However, our Lord is still in the county government today. The Jiang family felt that something was going to happen to our Ding residence, so they ran over early in the morning and broke off the engagement with the third Miss.

Hearing that, Shu Yu was speechless. The more Xiao Yun spoke, the angrier she became, If they wanted to break the engagement, so be it. But they pushed the responsibility onto the Ding family. They said that the third Miss was a concubines daughter and had a low status. After all, they said many terrible words. The third Miss couldnt accept these words and wanted to kill herself with broken porcelain chips. Then Miss Ding wanted to stop her. And under the pull, that chips scratched Miss Dings forehead

Shu Yu did not know what to say for a moment.

Daya was also sorrowful. She had also experienced those messy things, so she could especially understand that feeling.

Shu Yu did not express any opinions for the time being. As she spoke, they had already walked to the Moon Pavilion, where Ding Yuehua lived.

A person was kneeling in the corridor outside the Moon Pavilion. Xiao Yun whispered, This is the third Miss.

The third Miss lowered her head and did not make a sound. Only her body swayed occasionally.

When she heard the commotion, she looked over.

Shu Yu saw her appearance. It was utterly different from Ding Yuehuas appearance. In terms of appearance, the third Miss was much more beautiful.

There were three or four people in the Moon Pavilion. One of them was a woman who looked a little haggard. She was rubbing her eyes with her hand..
