Heading south? But just now ng Pei said the Lin Family was escorting the coffin back to their northern hotown.
"So, did he depart from the north and take a boat southward?" Shu Yu speculated, "Or is he actually in the south and just heading ho now?"
ng Pei shook his head, "Not sure, I went to the authorities to ask around. Lin Yong’s household registration was indeed canceled, and the Lin Family is heading toward their northern hotown."
At this point, the clues seem to be completely severed.
The Lin Family didn’t contact anyone after leaving, not even a letter was sent.
ng Pei raised his head and said, "I plan to take a trip north."
Shu Yu was taken aback, "Uncle ng wants to personally visit the Lin Family’s hotown?"
"Yes, if this matter isn’t clarified, I won’t be at ease. Regardless of whether he’s scheming against , I can’t live my whole life with this suspicion."
ng Pei was a decisive person, and he planned to prepare tomorrow and set off the day after.
Shu Yu said, "Uncle ng, let Ying Dong go with you."
ng Pei laughed, "No need, you don’t have many capable people around you, Ying Dong is competent, it’s better for him to stay with you than run around with . Don’t worry, I’ll take Uncle Yan."
Uncle Yan’s skills were even better than ng Pei’s. In the early years, he mixed in the Worldly Society, making both his experience and identity indeed more suitable than Ying Dong’s.
"Alright, Uncle ng, take care."
Shu Yu had originally thought about asking ng Pei for help, to bring Yuan Gui along when forming a convoy.
Now that he had other matters to attend to, Shu Yu didn’t ntion it.
There’s no ti to lose. ng Pei didn’t have much to prepare. The house was now guarded and newly renovated, so there was no need to worry much.
Two days later, both ng Pei and Shu Yu set off from the Quansheng Escort Agency.
However, after leaving the city, one headed south and the other north, parting ways at the city gate.
Once ng Pei and his group went far enough, Shu Yu sighed, lowered the carriage curtain, and said to Ying Xi, "Let’s go back too."
"Yes."
Ying Xi flicked the reins, and the carriage rumbled forward.
After traveling a long distance, Shu Yu ca out of the cabin and sat alongside Ying Xi on the carriage seat.
On this carriage, there were only the two of them, while the rest was filled with various luggage and food.
In the afternoon, Shu Yu and Ying Xi took turns driving the carriage.
She let Ying Xi rest in the cabin for a while. They were delayed on the road today, so they might have to camp outside, requiring her to keep watch. However, Ying Xi kept glancing sideways.
Shu Yu raised an eyebrow, "What’s wrong? Why do you keep looking at your brother?"
Ying Xi turned his head and whispered to Shu Yu, "Miss, I feel my brother is acting strange."
"What’s strange about him? He seems perfectly normal."
"Back in Changjin Prefecture, I already felt sothing was odd. When he ca with the old lady, he only had a small bundle, very light. But when we left Changjin Prefecture to return, I saw that he had two large bundles. I asked him about it, and he said he rarely goes out, so he bought so interesting things. It made sense to , since I’d bought a large box of things myself."
Shu Yu twitched her lips, thinking about Ying Xi’s large box mostly filled with food, feeling speechless.
She really personified her foodie nature to the fullest.
"Since you didn’t find it suspicious earlier, why do you think it’s strange now? Did you look inside his bundles?"
