Chapter 2420 Extra: The Fang Family's Reversal of the Verdict

However, what Granny Fang didn't know was that Yuan Gui already had someone he liked at that time.

This person is Kang Shuxian.

After the shop in the southwest opened, Yuan Gui, who was most familiar with the route, was always the one who delivered the goods.

At that time, the roads to both the shops in the capital and Changjin Prefecture were relatively safe. Once you had traveled the route once, there were no problems. Therefore, Yuan Gui appointed other people in charge of escorting the caravans on these two routes.

He himself traveled through the southwest, which has the most complex terrain and the most uneven background.

Yuan Gui only needs to deliver the goods to the shops in He Tai Prefecture. The small shops run by Hui Feng Escort Agency pick up the goods themselves from He Tai Prefecture. Therefore, Yuan Gui would basically not go to Hei Chang County, and logically he would not meet Kang Shuxian.

However, when Yuan Gui went to the southwest the following year, Fang's parents were exonerated. Ma Lu kept his word, not only serving Qi Lie diligently but also personally visiting Fang's hometown and bringing down the county official who had framed them.

It's easy to say, but actually very difficult to do. The local magistrate wielded considerable power, and even though Ma Lu was extremely secretive and meticulous in his actions, he still suffered serious injuries.

He was temporarily unable to travel to the southwest to fetch his parents-in-law. Although his wife, Fang Xiyue, was worried about her parents, her husband was injured and their child was young, so she couldn't leave. Even if she could, Ma Lu wouldn't feel comfortable letting her go to the southwest alone.

Just as Ma Lu was about to hire bodyguards, Shu Yu's letter arrived.

Meng Yunzheng had already received news from Qi Lie about the overturning of the Fang family parents' case. Qi Lie was always well-informed and naturally knew about Ma Lu's injury.

In his letter, Shu Yuxin said that Yuangui was about to head to the southwest to deliver goods. He instructed Yuangui to pick up Fang's father and aunt and join the convoy to Dong'an Prefecture first. They would then join the convoy heading to the capital. Although it would be a bit of a hassle, Yuangui was an acquaintance, so Shu Yuxin felt more at ease.

Fang Xiyue was overjoyed to receive the letter, and a huge weight was finally lifted from her heart.

Later, when Yuan Gui went to the southwest, he visited Zhengdao Village.

At that time, Kang Shuxian happened to be in Zhengdao Village delivering something to Fang's parents. These girls didn't know Fang's parents before. But Wang Changdong was familiar with them, and he would occasionally talk to them about Shuyu's affairs in Zhengdao Village.

Over time, the girls naturally learned about Fang's parents' situation.

They didn't have any elders, and Fang's parents' daughter and son-in-law had all returned to the capital, so they were inevitably a bit lonely.

Once, when Fang's mother came to the county town to buy things, she happened to have lunch at Kang Shuxian's stall. The two chatted and became acquainted.

After that, they started seeing each other more often.

Fang's parents are elders, and they always have a lot of life experience to teach them. Kang Shuxian and the others are about the same age as Fang Xiyue, and they can also comfort their low spirits.

That day, Kang Shuxian went to deliver some freshly made food to them, but unexpectedly ran into Yuan Gui, who had come to pick them up.

Yuan Gui was involved in the destruction of the Changjin Prefecture black market back then, but he did not enter the black market. He only helped Xia Yi with the cleanup work in the later stages.

Therefore, he had seen girls on the black market, but not all of them.

He had met Tao Hongdan, but he had never met Kang Shuxian.

Their first meeting was at the Fang family's house.

Yuan Gui himself never expected that love at first sight would happen to him.

Because of this, Yuan Gui stayed in Heichang County for a few more days.
