Of course, Shu Yu also wondered if Ding Yuehua would e looking for her if the Ding Family was fine.
With Daya watching over the shop, she didn’t have to keep thinking about it.
Daya agreed and stayed back in the shop with Maneki. After Shu Yu left, she looked around and went to get some water. She wiped the shop inside and outside again.
She had a personality that she could not stay idle. In addition, she was about to open for business, so she was in high spirits and felt that she had endless strength.
Shu Yu found the Meng family’s house easily as she was familiar with the path. Just as she was about to knock on the door, the courtyard door was opened from the inside.
Because of the same scene as yesterday, Shu Yu subconsciously stepped back and looked at the scene inside the courtyard door warily.
Then, she saw Meng Yunzheng’s surprised gaze.
Shu Yu coughed lightly. ‘Good morning, Young Master Meng.”
Meng Yunzheng nodded at her, then turned around and locked the courtyard door. Then, he spoke silently. “Let’s go.”
Shu Yu said, “Are you taking me to find a house to rent now?
Shouldn’t he invite her for a glass of water and study the rental situation nearby?
Meng Yunzheng nodded and walked ahead.
Shu Yu quickly followed.
Meng Yunzheng was indeed very familiar with this area and knew where the houses needed to be rented. After Shu Yu told him the most basic requirements, he brought her to a house about ten households away from the Meng family.
The courtyard of this house was not very big, but it was enough to grow vegetables and raise chickens. There were three rooms, and there was a small study next to the east wing. It was more than enough to fit a bed.
Shu Yu looked around and was very satisfied. The price was not expensive in this area. It was 260 coins a month.
There were other cheap shops in other locations, but Shu Yu still hoped that the surroundings would be a little quieter and safer. Moreover, this place would be closer to the clothing store.
She quickly settled the rental matters. As she was worried that the Lu family would e to the county town, Shu Yu did not delay much. After bidding farewell to Meng Yunzheng, she went straight back.
From the beginning to the end, she did not step into the Meng family’s courtyard.
Therefore, Shu Yu did not know that there was another person in the Meng family besides Doctor Zhao, who was recuperating at home.
Xiang Weinan heard the sound of the courtyard door opening and turned his head slightly. He smiled faintly. “Is that the girl that Zhao Xi said asked you to draw dozens of paintings but only gave you one tael of silver?
Meng Yunzheng couldn’t be bothered to look at him, so he went to the bedside to look at Zhao Xi.
Zhao Xi’s injuries were fine. He was a doctor himself and had the best medicine in his hands. He had lost a lot of blood yesterday, but he was already eating chicken drumsticks today.
Xiang Weinan asked again, “Do you know why she changed from the young lady of the Shu family to a farmer’s daughter?”
Meng Yunzheng nodded this time. Yesterday, after she found out that the Shu family had found a fake to impersonate the third Miss, she told him that she had been sold to Aunt Xue by Old Lady Ruan when she was a child. Later, the Shu family wanted to kill her.
In fact, even if she didn’t say it, Meng Yunzheng could more or less guess it. After all, it wasn’t a secret that Old Lady Ruan had kidnapped her granddaughter.
He just didn’t expect that the Shu family would drown her in the pond, and she escaped.
When Xiang Weinan saw him nod, he perked up his ears to listen.
In the end…Meng Yunzheng didn’t intend to continue.
Xiang Weinan was so angry that he fell back and suddenly stood up. “I told you to pretend to be mute, but you’re not mute. You really won’t say a word) right?
Alright, I’ll leave then.”
After taking a few steps, he turned around and said to Meng Yunzheng,
“Jiangyuan County is now under our control. The next step is to deal with the Shu family..”
