Chapter 910: Shu Yu Buys Servants

Shu Yu took just a quick glance before quickly retracting her head.

She wasn't good at dealing with such situations, and she had something to do soon. If she got stuck here, she wouldn't be able to leave.

Fortunately, the old lady was familiar with them. After inviting the people inside, Shu Yu took the opportunity when no one was paying attention and quickly slipped away.

Her timing was perfect—Ding Yuehua's carriage had just arrived at the entrance of the lane.

Seeing her, Ding Yuehua waved her hand. "Shu Yu, over here."

Shu Yu got into the carriage right away and let out a long sigh of relief.

Ding Yuehua chuckled. "What's wrong? You seem tired after becoming the village lord."

"I'm not good at dealing with socializing, but after becoming the village lord, it seems unavoidable."

Ding Yuehua empathized. "I feel the same way. I'd rather manage my shop and do business outside than go with my mother and the others to enjoy the flowers, entertain guests, and exchange pleasantries. It's boring."

After speaking, they exchanged glances and couldn't help but laugh.

This was the reason why the two of them became friends. Both of them preferred going out and enjoying the pleasure of making money.

Speaking of Ding Yuehua's's mother, Shu Yu thought of her hitting her head the day before and asked, "Is your mother alright?"

"She's fine. She tripped and fell in the morning yesterday and hit her head. The doctor said it's nothing serious, but she should rest for a couple of days. If she feels uncomfortable, she'll see the doctor again."

That was good to hear.

Ding Yuehua didn't dwell on her mother's matter and asked Shu Yu where she wanted to go to see the servants.

There were four servant market in Jiangyuan County—two private and two government.

The closest one was a private Servants market, so Shu Yu wanted to go there first. If there was nothing suitable, she would go to the slightly farther servant market.

Ding Yuehua instructed the coachman to head to the servant market, and when they reached the main road, she enthusiastically asked Shu Yu about her experiences in the southwest.

She was especially curious about why Shu Yu had been exiled since not many people knew about it.

Based on the timing, Ding Yuehua could only speculate that it had something to do with the Shu family in Dong'an Prefecture, but she didn't know the specifics.

Shu Yu had already sent the letter, so there was no need to keep it a secret at this critical moment. She explained everything she could.

Ding Yue Hua was repeatedly surprised as she listened. "I didn't expect you to have such a background. That Lady Xue from the Shu family is really despicable, and the Shu family is just as bad. What about now? Are those people from the Shu family still in the southwest?"

"Naturally, the emperor issued an imperial decree to sever the relationship between me and the Shu family. Their crimes are no longer related to me."

Ding Yue Hua became delighted. "They deserve it."

As they chatted, the carriage arrived at the servant market.

"Village Lord Lu, Miss, we've arrived at the servant market shop."

Shu Yu was the first to get off the carriage, and someone promptly came forward to greet her.

Not recognizing Shu Yu, the person smiled when DingYuehua a got off behind her and said, "So it's Madam Fan. What an esteemed guest. Please come inside."

Ding Yuehua instructed him, "We want to choose a few servants. Gather them in the courtyard, and we'll take a look."

"Yes, yes, please come inside, esteemed guests. I'll go and call the servants."

Ding Yue Hua stepped aside and let Shu Yu enter first before entering herself.

Shu Yu surveyed the servants house in front of her. It wasn't small—the front shop was compact, but there was a row of houses in the back courtyard, which looked grand.

The house's staff asked them to wait for a while, served them tea, and then went to call the servants.

Ding Yuehua hadn't had a chance to ask before, but now that they had time, she whispered to Shu Yu, "Shu Yu, how many servants do you plan to have?"
