Chapter 590: Introducing You to Each Other at That Time

The old lady understood that Shu Yu had received help and support from the Hou family when she was young, otherwise she wouldn't have treated her differently. The Hou family was currently going through difficult times, and while they couldn't help with much else, providing a warm meal was something they could do.

However, Shu Yu shook her head and said, "Let's do it another time. After all, in the eyes of others, we have just recognized each other as relatives and we're not very familiar yet. Bringing people back hastily might raise suspicion."

The old lady thought about it and realized that Shu Yu was right, so she didn't insist. She just instructed, "Then go quickly and come back quickly. We'll be waiting here." She didn't mention going back home first because it wouldn't make much of a difference for a short while.

Shu Yu smiled and turned to enter the courtyard. Hou Shi and Sixth Miss hadn't eaten yet, and they were waiting for Shu Yu in the yard. After such a long absence, they were both worried that something had happened.

On the other hand, Shu's family had already finished their meal.

When Shu Yu entered the house, Hou Shi and Sixth Miss hurriedly approached her and asked anxiously, "Third Miss, you're finally back? Did something happen? Why did you take so long?"

Shu Yu smiled and replied, "Something did happen, but it's a good thing."

Hou Shi was taken aback. "A good thing?" In a difficult place like Zhengdao Village, what good thing could happen?

Shu Yu nodded and handed a candy to Sixth Miss, saying, "My parents came to find me, my biological parents, that is."

Hou Shi's eyes widened in shock, and Sixth Miss almost dropped the candy in her hand.

Shu Yu pursed her lips. "It's a long story, but they traveled a long way to come to Zhengdao Village. They're waiting for me outside. They want me to have dinner with them, so I'll go there and then come back to tell you. You can eat my portion as well. Otherwise, you won't have enough energy for work the next day."

Hou Shi's mind was in a mess. This... this was too sudden.

She grabbed Shu Yu's hand and asked, "Third Miss, are you sure? Are they really your biological parents and not deceiving you? You have to think it through carefully and make sure you don't fall into any traps."

Shu Yu knew that Hou Shi was concerned for her, especially in such an environment where it was hard to imagine her family suddenly appearing. It seemed too strange.

She thought for a moment and briefly explained the situation.

Hou Shi was even more shocked. She had heard of Dongqing Temple. While ordinary families might not be aware of the abilities of the Temple's master, Hou Shi had heard some rumors.

It was said that many important officials and noble families wanted to consult him for fortune-telling and divination, but the master of the Temple only saw those with fate.

So when the Lu family said that it was guided by the master of Dongqing Temple, Hou Shi didn't doubt it at all.

She felt a surge of excitement. "This is a good thing! They are willing to come all the way here to find you. It must mean they love you very much. Although the work is hard for us, with them around, you'll be more comfortable. It's a good thing, a great thing. Go quickly, don't keep them waiting."

Shu Yu nodded. "Okay, once I get familiar with them, I

'll introduce you all."

Hou Shi smiled, taking on the role of an elder, "Good, you should get along well with your family. Although you haven't been with them since you were young, feelings can be cultivated slowly."

As they were talking, the members of Shu's family had finished their meal and were planning to go back to their rooms. When they passed by the courtyard and saw the three of them talking, their faces turned sour.
