Chapter 665: Chapter 665: Can Often Go to the County Town Now Chapter 665: Chapter 665: Can Often Go to the County Town Now The Shu family was crying and laughing, causing the neighbors to beco increasingly dissatisfied.
At the Lu family’s place, the atmosphere was harmonious and very warm.
When the old lady saw Shu Yu finally co back, she let out a long sigh of relief. She had watched Shu Yu and the others descend the mountain, and after waiting a long ti without seeing anyone, she began to worry.
Luckily, ng Yunzheng and Zhao Xi also ca down from the mountain and talked about the governor’s arrival. They guessed that the situation wouldn’t be resolved quickly, which cald the old lady down.
The family’s al was already prepared, and as they all sat down together, they began to inquire about the events that had taken place on the manor.
Hearing that Shu Yu had beco the steward of the manor, the old lady was overjoyed, “Does that an you don’t have to work so hard anymore? Oh, blessed be the heavens, blessed be.”
It was fortunate that she had agreed to Shu Yu’s plan to hunt the tiger in the mountains; otherwise, where would this good fortune have co from?
Shu Yu said with a smile, “That’s not all. The bailiff told before I left that whenever the manor needs to go to the county town to make purchases, they might take with them. Then I’ll be able to see Father and Mother more often.”
The old lady was even happier, “Good, good, good. From now on, you won’t have to work so hard, nor will there be any danger.”
On the side, Madam Hou was also sowhat excited, “So, does that an you can leave the county town to visit us at the courier station in the future?”
“It should be possible.”
Madam Hou and the Sixth Young Lady exchanged looks. They had thought it would be extrely difficult to see each other again and weren’t sure when they would reunite. They hadn’t expected this pleasant surprise.
After dinner, ng Yunzheng called Shu Yu out to the courtyard to talk, “I won’t be able to accompany you to the county town tomorrow.”
Shu Yu was sowhat puzzled, “What’s happened?”
ng Yunzheng’s expression turned slightly solemn, “Earlier, I saw a familiar face among the governor’s guards. I need to investigate sothing and might have to leave for a few days.”
He paused, then added, “Zhao Xi is going with .”
He had followed Shu Yu and the others down the mountain during the day and, after returning briefly to the Lu family, mingled with the crowd to join the spectacle at the manor.
Lord Cheng’s guards weren’t nurous, at least not in plain sight—there were only six of them.
ng Yunzheng recognized one at a glance. He discreetly withdrew from the crowd and went straight back to the Lu family.
Upon hearing this, Shu Yu imdiately frowned, “Is it very dangerous?”
ng Yunzheng laughed, “It’s just a bit of investigating, not a life-or-death mission. It’s not very dangerous, don’t worry. I’ve told you before, I won’t let myself get too deeply entangled in those complex struggles.”
Hearing this, Shu Yu was slightly reassured.
“If there’s anything you need help with, tell . Even though I’m not free to go many places, I can still put my mind to use.”
“I know,” ng Yunzheng couldn’t help but reach out and tousle her smart head, “I’ll tell you everything.”
Before he finished speaking, a low cough suddenly ca from nearby.
Shu Yu and ng Yunzheng exchanged a glance and whispered, “It’s my Grandmother.”
ng Yunzheng chuckled, “Alright, go rest.”
The two ca out from around the corner, and sure enough, the old lady was standing in the courtyard, looking up at the sky, though it was pitch black; it was unclear what she was seeing.
Shu Yu gave ng Yunzheng a push to send him back to his room, then she walked up to the old lady’s side.
