Chapter 223 Shu Yu Doesn't Play by the Rules

Shu Yu had asked all the questions she needed to ask, and there were no further clues.

She said to the officer, "This way we'll have a better understanding of the situation, and when the time comes, we can ask our relatives and friends to inquire together. We'll also need to trouble you, sir, if you have any news about my fourth uncle, please ask someone to tell Yiren Pavilion. The Lu family will be extremely grateful."

"Don't worry, Miss Lu, we will do our best to help you find your fourth aunt's husband."

With those words, Shu Yu was truly relieved.

She handed over the two bottles of wine, saying, "This is a token of our appreciation; please accept it."

The officer shook his head repeatedly, "No, I can't accept this."

"Well then, could you take this wine to your parents for me? They sent a gift when my shop opened, so I should reciprocate, right?"

That's true.

The officers and soldiers had no way to refute it, so Shu Yu took out another bottle of wine from behind and said, "This wine is for you and the other officer. Consider it payment for running errands. It's only right, isn't it?"

He was speechless once again.

A moment later, he accepted all three bottles of wine. He could take the wine to show the adults first; if they agreed, it would be proper to accept it, right?

The soldier nodded. "Alright, then I'll make another trip and deliver this return gift to the sir."

"Thank you for your hard work. We won't bother you any longer, sir. Farewell."

Shu Yu helped the old lady leave the county government office. The soldier clicked his tongue and sighed again, "Miss Lu is so young, but her behavior is truly heartwarming."

He sniffed the bottle; the aroma of the wine was very strong, and he was starting to feel hungry.

He picked up the wine bottle and hurriedly ran into the county government office.

As soon as Xiang Weinan came out of the study, he saw the soldier carrying several bottles of wine. He frowned and called out to him, "Hu Li, where did you get this wine?"

"My lord," Hu Li hurried forward, "this wine was a gift from Miss Lu."

Xiang Weinan was startled. "Miss Lu? Lu Shuyu? She's been here?"

"Yes, I just arrived."

"You came to see me?"

Hu Li shook his head. "No, Miss Lu said she came to see me."

Xiang Weinan, “…” So you two are quite familiar with each other?

Hu Li didn't hide anything and explained everything Shu Yu had asked him to do, including the two bottles of wine he had given him.

Xiang Weinan held two bottles of wine, his feelings extremely complicated.

He actually knew about Yuan Shanchuan's matter a long time ago.

Knowing this, he didn't take Meng Yunzheng's warning note seriously. Didn't Meng Yunzheng forbid him from bothering Lu Shuyu? No problem, he'd wait for Lu Shuyu to come to him.

He had everything planned out in his mind, but he didn't expect this girl to act so unpredictably.

If she wanted to find Yuan Shanchuan, shouldn't she have sought him out as the highest-ranking official in the county government to have a better chance of success?

They actually found a lowly errand boy and even delivered a few bottles of wine, haha.

Hu Li clearly sensed that something was wrong with his master's expression, and he asked hesitantly, "Sir, shouldn't we have accepted this wine?"

Xiang Weinan glanced at him sideways and shoved the bottle of liquor he had given him back. "Take it if it's yours, but let me make it clear beforehand: don't drink and mess things up."

Hu Li immediately broke into a big smile, "Don't worry, sir."

Xiang Weinan turned to leave, but after a few steps he turned back and instructed him, "Take Yuan Shanchuan's matter seriously, and send two people to look for him."
