I’m the Farmgirl You Can’t Mess With
Chapter 764 - Chapter 764 Infuriating

Chapter 764: Infuriating Chapter 764: Infuriating Editor: Atlas Studios “I was wrong, but I’ve also been punished all these years.

I’ll accept that I have to live like this for the rest of my life, but what about them?

Are you really fine letting them off like that?” Shu Wanniang instantly understood what she was thinking.

She looked at her for a while and said, “I’ve long cut off all ties with the Shu family.

You don’t have to worry about me.” Shu Wanniang looked at her seriously and said, “Your life isn’t bad.

Marrying the Zhou family is at least better than the marriage that was originally arranged for you, right?

Lord Shu values benefits.

With your intelligence and wisdom, you’re only living like this because you don’t wish for better.

This isn’t my punishment for you.

In the future, no matter if you live well or not, it has nothing to do with me.

If Lord Shu really wants to punish you, you wouldn’t be able to come to the capital alive.” Shu Qingniang’s face turned pale.

She widened her eyes and looked at Shu Wanniang.

Shu Wanniang lowered the curtain and said to the coachman, “Let’s set off.” The convoy started moving slowly.

As Shu Qingniang moved to the side, she saw the handsome young man riding on the horse and smiled at him.

Mu Bowen shifted his gaze away expressionlessly before urging everyone to speed up.

Shu Qingniang looked at the convoy that was gradually disappearing into the distance and laughed nervously.

She said in a low voice, “Cut off all ties?

That’s great, that’s really great.

Without Shu Wanniang’s help, the Zhou family’s money, and the support of the main family, let’s see how you can survive!” “Madam.” The servant of the Zhou family stepped forward in fear and whispered, “Let’s go back.

I’m afraid Old Master is looking for you by now.” Shu Qingniang restrained the expression on her face and happily climbed into the carriage with the help of a maidservant.

Although it didn’t hurt Shu Wanniang, she now knew about the Shu family’s situation.

She didn’t mind going back and adding insult to injury.

As expected, when Shu Qingniang returned to the Zhou family, she tidied up and brought her married daughter to the Shu family to visit.

Old Master Zhou looked at her with a dark gaze.

Shu Qingniang said with a smile, “Don’t you hate the Shu family for chasing us out of the capital?” Old Master Zhou’s eyes darkened.

Shu Qingniang continued to say with a smile, “Don’t worry, I’ll help you avenge the Zhou family this time.” Old Master Zhou snorted.

“You’re a daughter of the Shu family and merely the wife of a merchant.

What can you do to the Shu family?

They’re officials.” A cold glint flashed across Shu Qingniang’s eyes as she said, “That older sister of mine who was harmed by me has just returned to the capital.

Her husband has just made the decision to sever ties with the Shu family for her.

Now, Old Madam is overwhelmed with fury.

If she dies from anger, how can my younger brother continue to be an official?” Old Master Zhou was stunned for a moment, and his expression improved a little.

He knew more than Shu Qingniang.

One year, Shu Mingxiang had come to him to ask for a huge sum of money.

At that time, he was afraid that Shu Mingxiang would go astray and Shu Qing would put the blame on him, so he sent someone to keep an eye on him.

However, he was surprised to discover that they had used the money to bribe officials from the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Official Personnel Affairs at a high price to register a person far away in Xingzhou Prefecture as a soldier.

It wasn’t until five years ago when the Shu and Zhang families accidentally caused the current Empress to prematurely deliver that Old Madam Shu came looking for him.

Only then did he know that the person who was registered in the military back then was Madam Mu’s father.

Considering Prince Rong’s influence now, it was easy for Princess Consort Rong and the Mu family to investigate what happened back then.

Old Master Zhou didn’t believe that the Mu family would let off the Shu family who schemed against them.

Not a magnanimous person to begin with, Old Master Zhou was overjoyed.

Back then, when he became in-laws with the Shu family, each was taking what they needed.

He needed the Shu family’s connections and power in the officialdom to expand their business to the capital and the north.

Meanwhile, the fourth branch of the Shu family needed his money.

However, all these years, the fourth branch of the Shu family had been bossing him around.

Back then, when the Empress incident happened, they pushed all the blame to the Zhou family.

After the new dynasty was established, they used all kinds of methods to force them out of the capital.

After offending the Empress, he did not dare to continue staying on in the capital.

He had already formulated an exit plan, but there was a huge difference between him leaving on his own and being forced out.

This was because the Shu family’s fourth branch’s ruthless methods had interrupted many of his plans and caused him to suffer a huge loss.

He’d originally wanted to move his family far away from the capital to Fujian, but he was forced to settle down in Jinhua because of various reasons.

Old Master Zhou vaguely understood that the Shu family was afraid that the Empress would settle scores with them later and planned to keep him nearby to be a scapegoat at the critical moment.

Although Old Master Zhou was controlled, he did not just sit around while waiting for others to do whatever they wanted to him.

He had done a lot in the past two years.

Fortunately, Shu Qingniang was not stupid enough to know which side to stand on.

At the thought of this, Old Master Zhou felt a little regretful.

If not for the fact that the eldest son of his many sons was the smartest and most useful, he would really want him to divorce this useless daughter-in-law.

It had been two years since the Zhou family entered the capital, so they could only send servants to the capital to gather some information.

Shu Qingniang only knew that Shu Wanniang was leaving today because she had sent servants to keep an eye on their door and report as soon as there was any movement.

In order to be more well-informed, she moved from Jinhua to the suburbs of the capital.

Old Master Zhou came here because he wanted to find an opportunity to leave Jinhua with the Zhou family’s assets.

Originally, he wanted to find a new backer.

Even if he had to give up half of his assets, he had to escape from Jinhua to prevent himself from being used as a scapegoat by the Shu family’s fourth branch one day.

However, now that he heard that the Shu family’s fourth branch were in a bit of a pickle themselves, Old Master Zhou was no longer so anxious.

It’d naturally be best if he could escape without having to part with any of his money.

Shu Qingniang entered the capital happily after dressing up.

The guards of the Shu family couldn’t help but widen their eyes when they saw her.

Wasn’t it said that Shu Qingniang and her husband were forbidden from returning to the capital?

Why weren’t they informed of her arrival?

Before the servant could react, Shu Qingniang reached the second door.

The servant was so shocked that his soul cracked and he hurriedly ran to report.

During this period of time, the Shu family had been a little depressed.

Because the fourth branch had caused losses to the main family and the other branches, they were forced to compensate with a lot of assets.

Without the Zhou family’s money, the Shu family could only sell off some servants, causing some chaos in the Shu household.

Shu Qingniang quickly walked to Old Madam Shu’s courtyard before the servants could react to stop her.

But how could Shu Qingniang, who was here to anger Old Madam Shu, not be prepared?

Just as a few maidservants behind her stepped forward and pushed people aside to get to her, Shu Qingniang entered the inner room unimpeded.

When she saw Old Madam Shu with slanted eyes and a crooked mouth, it took Shu Qingniang a long time to react.

She giggled happily and sat by Old Madam Shu’s bed.

Ignoring the fury in her eyes, she said with a smile, “Old Madam, did you have a stroke?

How surprising.

The last time I saw you, you were still very energetic.

Why did you suddenly have a stroke?” It would have been fine if Shu Qingniang hadn’t said anything, but once she did, the fury within Old Madam Shu intensified.

There seemed to be two balls of fire dancing in her eyes.

She repeatedly warned herself to hold back her anger, knowing that Shu Qingniang was deliberately trying to anger her.

However, when she saw the smug look on that concubine’s daughter’s face, she couldn’t help but feel anger rising in her chest.

On the other hand, Shu Qingniang was no longer anxious.

She said, “Old Madam, have you seen my second sister?

Speaking of which, I was really lucky.

On the way to the capital today, I bumped into her just as she was about to leave the capital.

We even sat down and chatted for a while.

Only then did I know that Second Sister and her husband had actually returned to the capital.

I wonder if they’ve come to visit you.”
