Chapter 1194 A Ning Becomes a Disciple

Shu Yu was stunned. "Moving?"

Is the black market no longer planning to operate here?

She had heard that the black market in Jiangyuan County had been entrenched here for many years, so how could it suddenly want to move away? Building such a large territory was no easy feat.

But even if I ask Da Niu, he probably won't know the answer. It seems I'll have to ask Xiang Weinan when I get back to the city.

The two quickly returned to the village, where Aunt Zhou and Li were arguing again.

Upon seeing Shu Yu enter, the two immediately fell silent.

Shu Yu glanced at them. "Are you all packed? I'll take you back to the county town together."

Li and Aunt Zhou were naturally unwilling to go back with her, feeling that they didn't even dare to say much when they were around her.

Fortunately, Da Niu spoke up, "A Yu, Qiao'er and I will go back with you. It's been a while since we've been back, and Grandma will definitely be happy if we go back."

"Sure."

The Li couple actually felt a sense of relief and quickly rushed back to their room to pack their things.

Shu Yu walked over to Ying Xi's side, but noticed that her expression was a bit strange, so she couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"

Ying Xi glanced down at the well-behaved Song Le sitting next to her, then whispered in Shu Yu's ear, "Miss, I feel like Lele is acting a little strange."

"Um?"

"He seems to get very nervous around children. Just now, two tenant farmers' kids ran over to play with Xiaoya. Lele immediately grabbed my hand and quickly hid behind them. He only peeked out after Xiaoya and the kids left. But..."

Ying Xi paused, his expression conflicted, "But when he saw the First Madam and Zhou's Second Aunt arguing, he seemed to be watching with great interest, not afraid at all."

Shu Yu choked. Was she afraid of children but not adults arguing?

She looked down at Xiao Song Le, and the child looked up at her with a blank expression.

Shu Yu pursed her lips, just as Li Shi and Aunt Zhou returned.

She didn't say much for the time being, and let Ying Xi carry Xiao Song Le while she helped Zhou Qiao walk out of the manor.

Shu Yu's carriage was spacious, so she let Zhou Qiao sit on her side.

Da Niu drove the mule cart carrying Li Shi and Zhou Ershen, and the two carts left the village one after the other.

When the car arrived in the county town, it was already past noon.

Da Niu was going to take Aunt Zhou and Li Shi, who also wanted to go home, back home, so Shu Yu didn't wait for him and went straight to Fenghuai Street.

When the carriage stopped, Ying Dong was already waiting at the door, indicating that Zhao Xi and his group had already been there.

Ying Dong spotted Ying Xi immediately. Seeing that his sister was safe and sound and looked quite energetic, he breathed a slight sigh of relief.

This was the first time Yingdong had been separated from his sister for such a long time, and he couldn't help but worry over the past few months.

Yingxi greeted him, "Brother."

Ying Dong stepped forward, ruffled her hair, and then took the footstool from the carriage. He said to Shu Yu, who was coming out of the carriage, "Second Miss, Third Miss is currently taking on a master, so the old lady asked me to wait outside for you to return."

Shu Yu got down and picked up little Song Le as well. Hearing this, she said happily, "Becoming a disciple? A-Ning has become Doctor Zhao's disciple?"

"Yes, they're still exchanging greetings right now."

Shu Yu quickly helped Zhou Qiao down, and the group hurried into the mansion.

As soon as they reached the front yard, they saw Ah Ning kneeling obediently on the ground in the main room, bowing to Doctor Zhao and calling out in a clear voice, "Master."

"Hey, good girl, from now on, A-Ning will be my last disciple." Doctor Zhao stuffed the gift into the little girl's hand, looking very satisfied.
