Chapter 2125: Visiting Aunt Hong for a Feast

Shu Yu glanced at Xiao Songle, who occasionally looked toward the door, and said to Xia Yan, "Let's go to Aunt Hong's place first. You can inform Ah Yun when he returns."

Xia Yan immediately agreed.

Shu Yu picked up their belongings and took Xiao Songle with her onto the carriage.

Aunt Hong's house was only three streets away, not too far, and the carriage stopped at the alley entrance in just a quarter of an hour.

To Shu Yu's surprise, Aunt Hong's place seemed... quite lively today.

The front gate of Aunt Hong's house was wide open, and from there, one could see the scene inside—the courtyard seemed to have four tables set up, with many dishes placed on them.

It wasn't lunchtime yet, so although many people were sitting at the tables, most of them were just chatting.

Shu Yu exchanged a look with Xia Yan and said, "Why does it look like they're having a feast? Is there a celebration at Aunt Hong's place?"

This situation didn't seem suitable for them to find Aunt Hong.

Just as Shu Yu was considering whether to come back another day, someone in the courtyard noticed them.

Shu Yu naturally stood out with her striking appearance, especially in a small alley, dressed neatly and carrying items.

Yu Shi hurried over, saw Shu Yu, and asked with a smile, "Miss, who are you looking for?"

Yu Shi was Aunt Hong's eldest daughter-in-law. She didn't recognize Shu Yu since they had only exchanged a brief glance before without much conversation. She felt that Shu Yu looked somewhat familiar but wasn't confident enough to acknowledge her.

Since they were already here, Shu Yu couldn't just leave.

She nodded and said, "I'm looking for Aunt Hong. Is she at home?"

"She's here, she's here. My mother is at home." Yu Shi looked at Shu Yu and Xia Yan holding things in their hands, her eyes slightly gleaming. She stepped aside to let them in.

Shu Yu was momentarily surprised. A celebration? Was today Aunt Hong's birthday? That explained the lively atmosphere. It seemed they had come at just the right time.

Shu Yu led Xiao Songle into the courtyard, where everyone's curious and astonished gazes fell upon them.

Meanwhile, Yu Shi's younger son had already dashed into Aunt Hong's house and excitedly shouted, "Grandma, there are people looking for you outside, and it's a young lady from a wealthy family!"

In addition to Aunt Hong, there were several people in the house, around the same age as her. They were all chatting. Upon hearing her son's words, they reacted with surprise.

Even Aunt Hong herself was taken aback. "A young lady from a wealthy family?"

"Yes, she's carrying big and small packages and said she came to congratulate you."

The others immediately congratulated Aunt Hong, but she furrowed her brows, feeling sure that she didn't know any young lady from a wealthy family. She was genuinely puzzled by the unexpected guest.

Thinking this way, she got up and walked outside.

Just as she reached the living room, Yu Shi had already brought Shu Yu and Xia Yan inside.

The two parties met face to face in the living room, and Mrs. Hong smiled, saying, "Mother, this young lady came to congratulate you. When did you get to know such a noble young lady? You didn't even tell us, and we were completely unprepared. What if we can't entertain her properly?"

Aunt Hong glanced at her, then raised her head to look at Shu Yu.

At first, she was somewhat confused, but gradually, her expression became more and more astonished. In the end, she even seemed excited. "It's you! Are you Miss Lu?"

"Do you remember me, Aunt Hong?"

"I remember, I remember. In all these years, I've only met one person as elegant and beautiful as you."
