Springtime Farming: A Happy Wife At Home
Chapter 1755

Chapter 1755: Scheme Failed Chapter 1755: Scheme Failed Editor: Henyee Translations Miss Lu, being a girl, couldn’t shake off her shyness.

Despite the awareness that the entire affair reeked of manipulation, she still harbored the romantic notions of a young girl.

Unexpectedly, before she could approach Zhao Shu, he likely barely glimpsed her face.

He only registered a rose-red embroidered dress before swiftly turning on his heels and running away.

Left behind in embarrassment, Miss Lu, who was meant to “coincidentally” encounter Zhao Shu, returned home in tears.

Overwhelmed by sadness and shame, she felt thoroughly humiliated, much to the fury of Mrs.

Lu.

In reality, Zhao Shu hadn’t dwelled much on the incident.

He was simply exercising caution.

While strolling through the plum trees, he spotted a girl in vibrant attire.

Sensing a potential gossip risk, he opted for a hasty retreat to avoid implicating her reputation.

A gentleman at heart, he wouldn’t indulge in wicked actions.

Creating a convincing “coincidental encounter” required meticulous planning and timing.

Missing an opportunity meant the task would become exponentially more challenging.

Being both affluent and socially sought-after, Zhao Shu juggled numerous engagements daily, especially with his impending marriage to the prominent Shao family in the capital.

The patriarch’s wife aimed to orchestrate another meeting between Zhao Shu and Miss Lu, but time slipped away.

With Zhao Shu’s imminent departure to the capital after the first lunar month, the patriarch’s wife felt a sense of urgency.

Though conflicted, Mrs.

Lu, resolute and unyielding, persisted in her quest to rectify the situation.

While not an original strategy, its success, if achieved, would be an undeniable victory.

Zhao Shu would find it impossible to renege on his commitment.

Both the Lu family and the patriarch’s wife were resolute in ensuring Zhao Shu didn’t backtrack on his commitment.

The patriarch’s wife, although initially hesitant, harbored fears of failure and potential future animosity from Zhao Shu.

On the other hand, Mrs.

Lu, driven by determination, relentlessly persuaded and urged the wavering patriarch’s wife until she succumbed.

Opting for a seemingly easier route, the patriarch’s wife clandestinely instructed her son to accompany Zhao Shu to gatherings and ensure he consumed enough alcohol to induce inebriation.

It was a calculated move, anticipating that something would transpire in such a vulnerable state.

Moreover, the blame could conveniently be shifted to Zhao Shu.

If her son claimed ignorance due to intoxication, Zhao Shu would find it challenging to defend himself.

This would leave him beholden to Miss Lu and susceptible to any requests the Lu family made.

Contrary to expectations, Uncle Qing, Aunt Qing, and the others maintained exceptional vigilance, heeding only Zhao Shu’s directives.

Furthermore, Zhao Shu was cautious about alcohol, never allowing himself to get drunk in unfamiliar settings.

His mother, Madam Zheng, had instilled in him the risks involved, particularly in their line of business, where one couldn’t afford to be inebriated and prone to potential manipulations.

Drinking and socializing were integral to their business interactions, making sobriety imperative to avoid the pitfalls of signing contracts or being deceived while intoxicated.

Zhao Shu, therefore, refrained from getting drunk outside, even during gatherings.

Uncle Qing and the others were unwavering in their commitment to shielding Zhao Shu, preventing any unwanted approaches.

As the Spring Festival drew to a close, the patriarch’s wife and Mrs.

Lu found themselves without an opportunity to execute their plan.
