Chapter 316 Seeing Xiang Weinan Again

The villagers from Daxu Village had been there for quite a while, and judging from the tired look on Village Chief Chen's face, they must have been turned away several times.

Lu Dasong: "We've come to inquire whether we can meet my fourth sister."

Village Chief Chen was taken aback, realizing something was amiss, and quickly asked, "Do you have connections?"

"I don't have any connections, I can only give it a try."

As Lu Dasong spoke, he looked at Shu Yu beside him.

The latter nodded to Village Chief Chen before climbing the steps in front of the county government office and speaking a few words to the guards.

The constable responded a few words and quickly turned and went inside.

Standing behind, Village Chief Chen looked at the Lu family in surprise, "That girl is..."

"She is my niece, the daughter of my second brother."

While Village Chief Chen was still responding, the villagers behind him suddenly realized, "That's Lu Erbai's second daughter who has been missing for many years, right? I heard she was just found a few days ago."

Lu Dasong nodded. "It's her."

Village Chief Chen was quite moved, never expecting that the Lu family's newly found daughter would have such connections. He hoped she could truly find out the news, as Yuan Shanchuan was, after all, a villager of Daxu Village, and he was worried that he might have done something outrageous, which would implicate the entire village.

Just then, the gatekeeper from before came out again, and his attitude towards Shu Yu was even better than before.

The old lady and the others hurriedly surrounded her, and then they heard the constable say, "Miss Lu, please come with me."

Village Chief Chen and his companions were taken aback. How were they allowed into the county government office?

Shu Yu held Xiao Zhen's hand, while Lu Dasong and Da Niu helped the old lady walk inside.

Village Chief Chen and his companions exchanged glances and hurriedly followed.

As soon as they entered the main hall, the officers stopped them and then said to Shu Yu, "The magistrate said he has something to say to Miss Lu privately. You may wait here while Miss Lu comes with me."

"Thank you, please lead the way, officer." Shu Yu nodded reassuringly to the old lady and followed her into the back room.

As soon as she left, Village Chief Chen couldn't help but ask Lu Dasong, "The official that the constable mentioned earlier, is he the current county magistrate? Just who is your niece that the official could personally meet her?"

Lu Dasong himself didn't know either, he looked at the old lady.

The latter maintained a solemn expression. At this critical juncture, she didn't want to think about anything or say anything, and just nervously watched the direction Shu Yu left in.

Others were also affected by her behavior.

Furthermore, there were two guards standing by the main hall, but they were too afraid to speak, so they remained silent.

Shu Yu had already followed the yamen runners to the study in the backyard, where Hu Li was standing at the door.

He smiled at Shu Yu and said, "Miss Lu, please come in."

Shu Yu was still grateful for his reminder yesterday, so she thanked him first before entering the door.

Xiang Weinan was writing when he heard the noise, so he looked up at her and said, "Sit down."

Shu Yu sat down opposite him, finished writing the calligraphy for Wei Nan, put down the brush, leaned back in her chair, and said, "You've come to inquire about your relatives?"

"yes."

"What do you want to know?"

Shu Yu was a little surprised, "You're willing to tell me unconditionally, sir?"

"How is that possible?"

Shu Yu, “…” There’s no need to be so decisive.

Xiang Weinan leaned forward slightly. He had waited several times before she finally came to him on her own. This time, Meng Yunzheng couldn't say anything, could he?
