Chapter 2308: A note was slipped in.

Xu Zhensheng said, "I heard that the county magistrate of Wen'an had come to Zhengdao Village, so I rushed to the village to find you. But they said you went to Sister Fang's house, so I went to the Fang family's house too. Aunt Fang said you came to the Zhang family's house..."

Seeing him covered in sweat, Shu Yu couldn't help but chuckle and shake her head. "We're on our way to your house right now. Your parents must be home, right?"

“My mother is here. My father went up the mountain to pick mushrooms. He will be back later.”

Xu Dali was in charge of registration at the estate, and he was relatively free except for a few specific time slots. Shu Yu had gone to the estate to look for Aunt Fang before, but hadn't seen him, so she knew he was busy with his own affairs.

The group followed Xu Zhensheng back to the Xu family home. When they got nearby, she asked Fang Xiyue, who pointed to a courtyard on the left, saying, "That's it, that's where the second branch of the Shu family lives now."

Shu Yu nodded knowingly.

Xia Yan remained at the Xu family's gate as usual. This time, they stayed at the Xu family's house for a longer period of time, waiting for Xu Dali to return.

Later, Xia Yan came in and said it was getting late and Aunt Fang had prepared dinner.

This means that someone from the Shu family has returned.

Shu Yu and Meng Yunzheng then took their leave and, sure enough, they saw Shu Quan as soon as they arrived at the Xu family's gate.

Shu Quan was also shocked when he saw them. "Lu Shuyu, what are you doing here? No..."

He almost said that he had written a letter specifically to warn them not to come.

Shu Yu turned her head and walked towards him step by step. "What kind of question is that? Can't I come back?"

"I, I..." Shu Quan was a little anxious. He wrote that letter mainly so that Aunt Hou could give it to Lord Wan and then present it to the Emperor. In this way, he could be considered to have made a contribution.

Lu Shuyu came over, so wasn't that letter written for nothing?

Shu Yu narrowed her eyes, already standing a meter away from him. "Why are you stammering? What's wrong? Are you surprised to see me like this? Did you do something to offend me?"

"You're talking nonsense, I didn't." Shu Quan took a step back and raised his hand.

Meng Yunzheng immediately stepped forward, grabbed his hand, and said in a deep voice, "What are you doing? Do you want to lay a hand on my wife?"

"I didn't." As soon as Shu Quan finished speaking, he suddenly felt as if a piece of paper had been stuffed into his palm.

He was stunned, then a sharp pain shot through his wrist as Meng Yunzheng twisted his hands behind his back.

"You bullied my wife when she was with the Shu family, and now you want to lay a hand on her in front of me? You must have a death wish."

After saying that, he pushed Shu Quan away, and Shu Quan fell to the ground.

Looking at Meng Yunzheng's strength, Shu Yu felt that he was doing it on purpose.

Shu Quan couldn't say anything yet; the note in his hand made him realize that it was meant for others to see.

He could only turn his head away angrily, "I didn't lay a hand on you. You're just taking this opportunity to get revenge on me. So, now that you're a county magistrate, you think you're something special?"

Shu Yu raised an eyebrow. "I'm more than capable of dealing with you."

"you……"

Meng Yunzheng glanced at him coldly, and seeing that Shu Quan dared not say anything, he took Shu Yu's hand and said, "Let's go, we still need to go to Aunt Fang's house, there's no need to waste words with this kind of person."

"good."

The two men didn't even glance at Shu Quan before leaving with Ying Xixia and Yan.

Once they were completely out of sight, Shu Quan spat at the door, slammed the gate shut with a bang, and went inside to unfold the note.
