Chapter 1840 The County Princess of Wen'an Has Arrived

Shu Yu's words put the Lu family at ease.

They finally understood what had happened in Chenggu County during this period, and also understood why Shu Yu was appointed as the county magistrate, as well as the reason why Meng Yunzheng was still in the prefectural city.

To be honest, they were quite excited, especially the three teenagers, Shu Rui and his companion, who couldn't help but ask repeatedly, "Can we go to Changjin Prefecture City?"

"Of course you can. You're here to travel around anyway, but you should visit Auntie in Heden Village tomorrow first."

"Okay," the group quickly agreed.

That evening, the Meng Family Escort Agency was indeed extremely lively. Apart from Meng Yunzheng, who had not yet returned, the Meng and Lu families rarely sat together in such a complete manner for dinner, and the festivities lasted until very late.

To Shu Yu's surprise, Meng Qi and Da Bao got along very well.

To be honest, neither of them are book lovers; one prefers martial arts, and the other loves to eat. Their personalities are completely opposite, so how did they end up talking about the same thing?

It's really hard to understand.

However, it's always a good thing that the two families get along well.

After the Lu family had rested and recuperated overnight, Shu Yu set off for Hedeng Village early the next morning with the somewhat impatient old lady.

There were about ten of them, and they split into two carriages to go there.

Since arriving on the second day of the Lunar New Year, Shu Yu has been busy helping Tang Wenqian with his affairs and hasn't gone back. Instead, her great-aunt has visited her twice in the county town, going to the Meng family's security agency to see her.

Therefore, when she returned to Hedeng Village, many villagers who knew she had become the county magistrate were instantly excited.

From the village entrance, many people came running over, offering greetings and expressing concern, completely blocking the road and making it difficult to move forward.

The old lady was very anxious, but she had already learned from Shu Yu yesterday that her younger sister had been able to live a stable life thanks to the care of the villagers over the years. Therefore, she was grateful to them, which immediately eased her anxiety, and she simply treated it as an opportunity to enjoy the scenery of the village.

Shu Yu and his companions moved toward Granny Fang's house at a snail's pace, while some clever children had already run quickly to the old village chief's house and Granny Fang's house to deliver the news.

Coincidentally, the old village chief and his wife happened to be at Grandma Fang's house.

When the children ran over, they were discussing the current state of the yard.

Grandma Fang initially rented the courtyard, but after getting used to living there and deciding to settle down in the village, the old village chief sold it to her at a very low price to take care of her.

After the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Grandma Fang will have to leave Hedeng Village. She probably won't be able to come back to live in this house again, so she thought she should return it to the old village chief.

The price you paid back then is what you'll sell it for now.

The old village chief, however, felt she was at a disadvantage. Not only had the property prices risen slightly over the years, but everyone in the surrounding villages now knew that Grandma Fang's aunt's granddaughter was a county magistrate, making her house a highly sought-after property. Even if the price increased tenfold, there would probably still be buyers.

The old village chief meant there was no rush. She would spread the word in the next couple of days to see who wanted to buy the house. If she could sell it for a higher price, she would have more money in her hands, enough to settle down and make a living when she returned to Dong'an Prefecture.

While the two sides were discussing, several children rushed in, excitedly shouting, "Princess Wen'an is here! Princess Lu is here!"
