Chapter 1391 The Day the Results Were Announced

Aunt He asked curiously, "Other looks? What looks?"

Xia Yan clicked his tongue. "That's the kind of attitude where if Miss Lu says east, our young master will absolutely not go west. Even if Miss Lu wanted the stars in the sky, our young master would find a way to get them for her. Our young master is as chaste as a jade for Miss Lu, and would never look at another girl. If anyone dares to hurt Miss Lu, our young master will definitely kill him..."

“You should say that to A-Yu.” Meng Yunzheng’s voice suddenly rang out from behind.

Xia Yan jumped up in surprise, taking two steps back. "Young Master, you're out? Miss Lu is asleep?"

Meng Yunzheng glanced at him sideways, "Are you very free?"

"No, young master, I'm very busy."

Meng Yunzheng shoved the tray in his hand into his, saying expressionlessly, "Feed the horses well in a bit, and we'll hitch up the carriage and head out of the city first thing tomorrow morning."

"Understood, young master."

Meng Yunzheng turned and left. Aunt He only touched her heart, which had been pounding in shock, after he had disappeared from sight.

However, the next moment, as if suddenly remembering something, she abruptly raised her head and said, "You're going out of the city tomorrow? But, but isn't tomorrow morning the day the results of the academy exams are released?"

Xia Yan shrugged. "Didn't I tell you? Compared to Miss Lu's matter, the academy exam results are completely unimportant."

It took Aunt He a while to understand what he meant. So, Miss Lu didn't come here to keep an eye on people?

Xia Yan didn't chat with her any longer; he had other things to do, so he took the tray and went to the kitchen.

Seeing that it was getting late, Aunt He quickly finished washing the clothes, then went to the kitchen to cook dinner, and went home before dark.

Shu Yu took a nap and felt much more refreshed.

When he woke up, Meng Yunzheng was in the room. He had slept here last night as well, except that there was a daybed in the room, and it was nice and cool to sleep on the mat on the daybed in this kind of weather.

Are you feeling any better?

Meng Yunzheng glanced at the injury on her palm. Fortunately, the medicine Zhao Xi gave her was quite effective, and Shu Yu's injury was not a big deal.

Shu Yu moved her hands and feet; although she still felt a little stiff, she could move without any problems.

However, Meng Yunzheng still personally brought the food over.

So Aunt He, who had come early to make breakfast, witnessed him feeding Shu Yu once again.

After finishing her meal, Shu Yu couldn't wait to leave the city.

The city gates were about to open, so Meng Yunzheng had Xia Yan prepare the carriage and lead it to the gate, while he helped Shu Yu out.

He then returned and gave Aunt He a money bag.

"I'll leave the house to you, Auntie. If we come back late and the messenger comes with good news, you can use this money to give as a reward."

Aunt He suddenly became a little nervous. "Why don't you wait until the officials have finished delivering the good news before you leave, Young Master Meng? It won't make a difference if it's just a little longer. After all, the results of the provincial examination are a big deal."

"I can't wait any longer." Meng Yunzheng waved his hand and quickly went out to get into the carriage.

"Let's go."

Xia Yan gave the reins a flick, and the carriage rumbled toward the city gate.

Meng Yunzheng placed soft bedding and pillows behind Shu Yu to make her more comfortable.

Shu Yu wasn't feeling well, so she simply leaned back in the car and closed her eyes to rest.

Therefore, she didn't notice that the streets were already bustling early in the morning, with many more people than yesterday. In particular, the nervous and anxious test takers had crowded in front of the notice board early on.
