The Ace Bigshot Becomes A Farmgirl

Shu Yu left the city and took out the letter from the box.

Written on it was her biological parents' address: Dongan Province, Jiangyuan County, Wenlan Town, Shangshi Village.

She didn't know about Shangshi Village or Wenlan Town, but she knew about Jiangyuan County.

It could be considered the furthest county in the entire Dongan Province, and the poorest one.

Shu Yu sneered. She didn't want to go back to her family. Since she had already left the Shu family, where could she not go under the vast sky? Why should she be tied to those who had nothing to do with her? She had nothing to worry about in this world.

She closed the box and decided to walk in a random direction.

She had only taken a few steps when the Daoist nun's words flashed through her mind. If she had any questions, they would be solved if she went to the address on the letter.

Questions... Of course, she had them!

For example, how did her master know about her background, and what was all the talk about debts? It couldn't be the debt of being born and raised, right? Also, what was her master thinking?

If these questions were not answered and she still could not change her fate of being exiled after three months, would she never be able to find their answers?

Shu Yu was not a procrastinator. Since she wanted to know, then she would go and take a look. She didn't want to be muddleheaded and not know anything.

She still had some money in her hands, which she had earned this year by going out when the Shu family was not paying attention.

However, due to the limitations of her identity, time, and place, she had only managed to swindle... Ahem, earn a little. At first, she had planned to earn some capital so that she could lead a good life after being exiled and reaching her destination.

She had wanted to put in more effort in the last three months and save more, but who knew that something unexpected would happen? To think she was not a child of the Shu family.

She was worried that her belongings would be confiscated when she was exiled, so she hid her money outside.

She had already taken them with her earlier.

Now, she only had two notes, which were worth 60 taels, how pitiful.

Shu Yu pitied herself for two seconds, then rented a carriage and went straight to Jiangyuan County.

She only arrived after a day of traveling at full speed. When they reached the county, Shu Yu gave the driver the fare and let him go.

Then, she strolled around the county. Although she had been in this world for a year, she had spent most of her time in the Shu family. The rest of her time had been spent walking around the city. The furthest place she went was Dongqing Temple.

Although Jiangyuan County was poor, it was very lively.

Being here, Shu Yu actually felt a rare sense of peace that made people calm down.

Seeing that it was getting late, she found an ox-cart at the city gate that would pass by Shangshi Village. Just as she was about to get on, she saw that there were other villagers on the ox-cart.

Most of the people had baskets in front of them, which took up quite a lot of space.

On the contrary, she was only carrying a small bag. The others found her strange when they saw her, and they whispered to each other as they looked at her.

Shu Yu's ears were sharp, so she could vaguely hear a few words.

"Where is this girl from? She doesn't look like she's short of money. Why is she squeezing into the same ox-cart as us?"

Shu Yu looked at herself. She had already changed into a light and simple dress.

However, she still seemed out of place with the women before her.

Shu Yu hesitated for a moment, but she still got down from the ox-cart and said to the old man driving the cart, "Sir, can you wait for me for 15 minutes?"

"No problem. We're setting off at four p.m.."

Four p.m., which meant there were still nearly 15 minutes left. She could make it.

Shu Yu turned around and walked back into the county, not to change her clothes, but to buy some things. Seeing the things in the women's baskets, she thought that she should bring something with her when visiting her parents.

Shu Yu had never thought of acknowledging her biological parents. After all, she didn't know who the other party was and had no feelings for them. Now that she was all alone and had nothing to worry about, why should she seek trouble?

Besides, she still didn't know if her biological parents were the ones who sold her to the Shu family.

She was only going to Shangshi Village to solve the doubts in her heart.

That being said, she had to find a reason for her sudden visit. If she brought a gift over, it would be difficult for the other party to drive her out. It would also be easier and more convenient for her to ask what she wanted.

In her previous life, Shu Yu had been able to climb to the position of a big shot's confidant, so she was very well-versed in such human communications.
