Chapter 447 Shu Yu Prepares for Exile

For the next few days, Shuyu didn't go out much.

Eight days before she was to travel to Dong'an Prefecture, she met with Xiang Weinan, and they both knew what they were about to face.

So when Shu Yu asked her to take care of the Lu family while she was away, Xiang Weinan agreed without hesitation. "Don't worry, even if you didn't say anything, I would still take care of the Lu family. I will have Hu Li and Wang Hong visit your shop from time to time, and I will also give your father a token so that he can come to the county government if he has any problems."

Shu Yu thought for a moment, "Don't give it to my dad, give it to my grandma."

Xiang Weinan, "..."

Shu Yu explained, "My dad isn't one to trouble others. He won't easily ask you for help unless absolutely necessary. My grandma is different. When she encounters trouble, she'll be the first to ask for help."

Xiang Weinan was even more speechless. So you think I'm so free that you can send your old lady to see me all the time?

He rolled his eyes, but still agreed, "Okay."

Five days before her departure, Shu Yu went to the Ding family to find Ding Yuehua, saying that she needed to go out of the courtyard and didn't know when she would return, so she asked her to take good care of Yiren Pavilion.

Ding Yuehua immediately agreed. She was a little reluctant to part with Shu Yu, feeling that it would be a long time before they met again after Shu Yu left.

With three days left before her departure, Shu Yu knew she could no longer hide the truth. After her family had finished eating, she took a deep breath and said to them, "Grandma, Dad, Mom, Eldest Sister, Da Hu, San Ya, I have something to tell you."

Everyone at the table turned to look at her, and seeing her serious expression, they inexplicably began to feel uneasy.

Shu Yu smiled and said, "Don't be nervous. I just suddenly received news that I have to go on a long trip."

"Going on a long trip?"

Where to?

How long will it take?

"I'll go with you."

The group immediately asked the question, as if afraid she would leave right then and there.

After all, she had just been found, and now she was suddenly leaving again. Their anxiety reached its peak in an instant.

Shu Yu pursed her lips, looked at Lu Erbai, and said, "Father, do you still remember the abbot of Dongqing Temple?"

Lu Erbai nodded repeatedly, "Of course I remember."

“There’s something I haven’t told you. Actually, after I was recuperating at Dongqing Temple, I found myself sharing similar interests with the abbess. She’s a very capable person, so I took her as my teacher.”

The old woman stared in astonishment, her eyes wide. "You, you've become a nun under the tutelage of the abbot?"

Good heavens, does that mean Ayu will never get married?

Shu Yu was both amused and exasperated. "No, I didn't become a Taoist nun. I just learned skills from the abbess. Don't you think I'm pretty amazing? Actually, I learned a lot from the abbess. My master is very knowledgeable and insightful. She is a very capable person. I have benefited greatly from her teachings."

The old lady and the others felt relieved. "Dongqing Temple is the largest Taoist temple in Dong'an Prefecture. The abbot must be very powerful."

"Yes, before I came back, my master went out to travel the world, and I didn't know when she would return. So I haven't told you about this, thinking that I would introduce you to each other when my master comes back."

"And what about your master now?"

Shu Yu sighed, "Master is in a bit of trouble right now. She wrote me a letter a couple of days ago, asking me to go to the southwest area and bring her something there, saying it's for saving people."
