Chapter 1074 Reunion with Lord Wan

Just as Shu Yu was thinking this, Wan Daren's voice suddenly came from the carriage ahead, "Stop the carriage."

The carriage suddenly stopped, and as soon as the one in front stopped, the one behind it naturally stopped as well.

A man then emerged from the carriage, and the official standing in front of Shu Yu quickly stepped forward, saying, "Sir."

It seems to be the prefect of Shangyang Prefecture.

The prefect waved his hand, took a few steps forward to the carriage in front, and asked, "Lord Wan, is there something you need?"

Lord Wan shook his head. After staring at Shu Yu for a moment, he hesitated before asking, "Miss Lu?"

The prefect was taken aback. He turned his head in the direction of Lord Wan's gaze and first saw the conspicuous white horse, then saw Shu Yu beside the white horse.

He asked in a low voice, "Does Lord Wan know that young lady?"

Lord Wan nodded, got off the carriage, and walked a few steps to Shu Yu.

"Lu Xiangjun, it really is you."

Shu Yu was surprised that he recognized her. After a moment of surprise, she immediately cupped her hands and said, "Lord Wan, it's been a long time. How have you been?"

"I am quite well, but I must congratulate Lord Lu," Lord Wan laughed. "Where is Lord Lu headed?"

As he spoke, he glanced at the white horse a couple more times.

If the coachman hadn't remarked that the white horse beside them was quite spirited and a rare sight, he wouldn't have curiously lifted the carriage curtain.

Who knew that when he glanced outside, he would see Lu Xiangjun standing next to Bai Ma.

Although he had only met Shu Yu once, it left a deep impression on him. Mainly because Lord Yao and Lord Qi both treated her differently. At that time, among the people who escorted Yao Tianqin out of the city back to the capital, she stood out from the somewhat dejected atmosphere of Heichang County despite her ordinary clothes.

Later, on the way back to the capital with Lord Yao, he heard Lord Yao mention this young lady quite often. He said that if it weren't for her, he wouldn't have been able to regain his official position.

At first, Lord Wan didn't pay much attention to this young girl, but when Lord Yao mentioned that it was this girl who introduced him to Lord Qi, he became a little more concerned.

Then came the overheated package incident, followed by Lord Qi's return to the capital. Even if Lord Wan wanted to forget Shu Yu, he couldn't.

Shu Yu smiled and said, "Let's go on a long trip."

The prefect happened to be passing by and looked at Shu Yu with surprise.

Then Lord Wan began to introduce them, "This is Lord Lu, the same Lord Lu who presented the heated pack. This is Prefect Yang of Shangyang Prefecture."

As he spoke, he looked behind Shu Yu.

Upon closer inspection, the collapsed courtyard wall came into view. Then, noticing several menacing gazes fixed on the white horse behind Shu Yu, Lord Wan narrowed his eyes slightly. "Lord Lu, have you encountered some trouble?"

Shu Yu shook her head. "It's nothing, just a torrential downpour that caused the courtyard wall to collapse. We're currently negotiating compensation with the innkeeper."

"I see."

Since she's not saying anything, it means there's not a big problem.

Lord Wan had important matters to attend to and could not linger any longer, so he told Shu Yu and got back into the carriage.

However, Prefect Yang instructed his attendant, "You lend a hand to Lord Lu here, help him out, and come back when you've dealt with it."

"yes."

Prefect Yang nodded to Shu Yu and then got into the carriage.

The two carriages, carrying the officials behind them, continued towards the city gate until they turned a corner and disappeared from sight, at which point everyone secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Shu Yu wondered if Lord Wan was going somewhere to deliver another imperial edict.

Shangyang Prefecture is a necessary stop on the way to Linzhang Prefecture.
