Chapter 163 Don't Kill Me

Once the clothing store opens, Lu Erbai and the others will come over.

The old lady initially said she didn't want to come to the county town and would stay home to take care of Sanya and Dahu, telling Shuyu not to waste money renting a house.

But now that Daya and Li are at home, she is very skilled at sewing and is a great help. She will definitely come to the county town to help.

The old lady then stopped mentioning not wanting to rent a house.

Shu Yu had become quite familiar with the county town during this time, and after much deliberation, she discovered that the most suitable location was the area where Meng Yunzheng lived.

So Shu Yu plans to find a place to rent nearby first, and then buy it later when she has more money.

Yes, she'll have money tomorrow. Once she sells the scar removal cream formula to Dr. Xu, she'll have a large income.

Thinking of this, Shu Yu was quite happy and said to Zhao Cai in her arms, "When we have money in the future, we'll get you a room all to yourself and let you be our lucky cat. Doesn't that sound exciting?"

Meow……

Shu Yu patted its head, "It's really excited."

As the man and the cat passed by the county government office, Shu Yu looked up again.

There were still a few solemn-looking soldiers guarding the entrance, but there weren't as many onlookers as yesterday.

Shu Yu didn't pay much attention and walked over on her own.

However, she overheard two people talking.

"Some people from the Ding family also went there. I heard early this morning that Master Ding was summoned to the county office for questioning. Apart from the servants who were in charge of purchasing, all the masters of the Ding family had to stay in the mansion."

"Not only the Ding family, but also the Jiang family, all the well-known local gentry and wealthy families in our county have been summoned to the county government for questioning."

Shu Yu suddenly came to her senses; so that's how it is.

No wonder Ding Yuehua didn't come today. It's because the county magistrate is in trouble, and the whole county is about to be thrown into turmoil.

The Ding family must not do anything illegal or get into trouble; she finally got her first client.

Shu Yu prayed silently for a while.

The two men were still talking, "Why did they suddenly summon all the wealthy families in the county town for questioning?"

“I heard that the people who escaped yesterday haven’t been caught yet. Didn’t you see that the city gates haven’t been opened yet? I guess the officials suspect that it’s related to these wealthy families and want to investigate which family has a good relationship with the former magistrate.”

The two left after talking for a while.

Shu Yu stood still, gazing into the distance towards the city gate.

The city gates aren't open yet, but they probably won't be closed for long, otherwise trouble is bound to break out.

Shu Yu glanced at the main gate of the county government office again, then quickened her pace and headed towards the courtyard where Meng Yunzheng was.

She lifted the lucky charm up a bit and stood at the gate of the courtyard, ready to knock on the door.

To my surprise, the door opened as soon as I knocked.

Shu Yu took a step forward. "Young Master Meng? Are you there?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he stood in the courtyard and naturally saw Doctor Zhao lying in a corner of the courtyard, with a knife held horizontally by someone.

Shu Yu's pupils contracted as she sensed someone behind her, and a dagger was placed against her neck.

Shu Yu almost instinctively retaliated, but calmed down when she saw Doctor Zhao being restrained and stopped her actions.

But she loosened her grip slightly, and the lucky charm in her arms fell to the ground and disappeared in a flash.

Fortunately, the villains didn't care about Zhao Cai or her. After taking Shu Yu a few steps forward, they closed the courtyard gate.

Shu Yu pursed her lips, looking terrified, and asked, "Who are you? What do you want? I... I don't know you. Please don't kill me."

There's been a super update today! More to come, I'm still writing. I uploaded it this morning.
