However, before Lu Dasong could enter, Old Lady Ruan, who was in the courtyard, had already reacted and ran to Shu Yu in two or three steps.
Shu Yu thought that she was going to scold her, but Old Lady Ruan smiled at her instead while saying, “You must be Miss Shu? This is a misunderstanding, a huge misunderstanding. This is really Erya. Miss Shu, please let her go first, and we can talk slowly.”
Shu Yu turned around suspiciously, “Do you know me?”
“Of course, of course. I heard that the Lu family has a benefactor who sent my son-in-law to the county to treat his leg early in the morning. Oh my, my daughter’s suffering has finally come to an end. You see, with the help of a benefactor like you, they’ve even found their long-lost daughter. Their good days are yet to come.”
Shu Yu finally understood why Old Lady Ruan was here.
So it seemed that she had come for her.
Old Lady Ruan was a no-show when the Lu family didn’t have any money, but when she heard that their fortune was about to turn for the better, she immediately brought an imposter here to try to build a good relationship with her in-laws, huh?
Old Lady Ruan smiled so hard that the wrinkles on her face could trap a fly, “Miss Shu, how’s my son-in-law’s leg? Why are he and his mother not back?”
“What does their return have to do with you?” The person before her was the culprit who had stolen Erya and sold her to the Shu family. As such, the more Shu Yu looked at her, the more disgusted she became.
“Hurry up and take your imposter out of here. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being rude.”
“You…” Old Lady Ruan was caught off guard by Shu Yu’s lack of respect, and she couldn’t maintain the smile on her face.
The girl on the ground had already gotten up. She had just seen Shu Yu’s means, so she did not dare to pounce on her directly this time.
However, she still hid behind Old Lady Ruan and shouted, “Are you crazy? This is our family’s business. What right do you have to interfere as an outsider? I don’t even know you, so what right do you have to say that I’m a fake? This is my home, you should be the one getting out.”
“That’s right, Miss Shu. You’re an outsider and don’t know anything about Erya. What right do you have to say that? My daughter finally found her child. Since you’re a guest of the Lu family, you should give her your blessings and some gifts. But now, not only did you call her a fake, you even hit her. This can’t be justified no matter where you go,” Old Lady Ruan stopped pretending and echoed loudly.
She even turned to the villagers outside the courtyard and said, “Everyone, think about it. Do you think that a mother won’t know better than an outsider like her? My daughter didn’t even say anything, but she’s the one making the decisions here. She beat and scolded the poor Erya, and was so impolite to me, a proper in-law. Those who don’t know better would think that you’re the mistress of the Lu family, right?”
The villagers looked at each other. There was a lot of information in Madam Ruan’s words.
Could it be that this outsider, Miss Shu, had taken a fancy to the old, poor, and crippled Lu Erbai?
Impossible, impossible, impossible.
Everyone hurriedly shook their heads. Lu Dasong couldn’t bear to listen any longer. He walked in and glared at Old Lady Ruan, “I think you’re the one who’s spouting nonsense. With the things you’ve done back then, would you really be so kind as to bring Erya back? I, for one, think Miss Shu’s words make sense.”
Old Lady Ruan wasn’t afraid of Lu Dasong. She sneered on the spot, “Oh my, oh my, you think? Do you know Miss Shu? Are you close? Or is there some shameful relationship between you two? She doesn’t have any evidence to say that Erya is an imposter. How the hell do her words make sense?”
