Chapter 1978: Teaching Shu Yu a Lesson

Shu Yu looked at her wet clothes, then squatted down and picked up the fish, placing it back in the bamboo tube with a bit of water. She turned to the child and said, "The little fish is still alive. Hurry back and get more water to take care of it."

The child raised his head, realizing that he had accidentally bumped into her and dirtied her clothes. He quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to."

"It's okay. Just go back home."

The child glanced at the little fish in the bamboo tube, then at Shu Yu's gentle demeanor. He whispered a thank you and ran back home, his face blushing.

After this brief interruption, when Shu Yu looked up again, she couldn't see the person who had been following her anymore. Her clothes were uncomfortable, and passersby occasionally looked at her.

Shu Yu had a headache. She had initially planned to go to Lu Ji's store to ask Jiang Fengshou about the daughter of the Cheng family, but now she couldn't afford to delay any longer. She needed to hurry back and change her clothes.

Fortunately, she had already reached Fuyuan Street. Shu Yu quickly returned to the small courtyard she had rented.

Not long after she entered the courtyard, the servant girl from the corner of the street peeked out, but when she saw the empty street, her face showed confusion. Where did everyone go? How did they disappear in just a moment?

She took a few steps forward, looked around near Shu Yu's rented courtyard, and finally stomped her foot in frustration before quickly returning.

Cheng Jiatong was still waiting for her. When she saw her return, she raised her eyes and asked, "Do you know where she lives?"

The servant girl lowered her head and whispered, "She lives on Fuyuan Street. But just now, she almost spotted me, and in the blink of an eye, she disappeared."

"…" Cheng Jiatong glared at her. "Useless."

The servant girl hung her head, not daring to speak.

Cheng Jiatong kicked her. "Are you sure she's on Fuyuan Street?"

The servant girl nodded repeatedly. "She was bumped into by a child, and her clothes got wet. She's definitely going home to change."

"Go back to find people? No need. You said your brother knows a few ruffians, right? Tell them to go to Fuyuan Street. When that woman comes out, grab her, tie her up, keep her overnight, and then release her. Let's see how she can face Gan Rui after that."

The servant girl shivered. Her young miss was determined to tarnish that girl's reputation completely.

But as she watched the handprint on her young miss's face, she also felt it wasn't surprising. When had her young miss ever been wronged? The person who had slapped her wouldn't be let off easily.

The servant girl agreed, and she acted quickly. Just past noon, five or six ruffians had gathered.

The group walked toward Fuyuan Street, looking quite arrogant, causing people on the street to give way.

As they passed by Lu Ji's store, Jiang Fengshou looked at them and clicked his tongue against his teeth. "Who are these troublemakers going to bother now?"

It was broad daylight, and the city's authorities were strict. How could they dare to cause trouble?

"It's good if they cause a scene. If they get caught and serve as a warning to others, that's even better."

When the group of ruffians had gone far away, Jiang Fengshou withdrew his gaze and returned to work at the counter. He didn't know that the ruffians had stopped not far from Shu Yu's residence.
