Chapter 452 Meng Yunzheng's thoughtfulness

"Don't worry, everything has been arranged. Even if someone investigates, their account will be consistent with yours."

Meng Yunzheng has been busy these days, constantly doing these things.

Shu Yu appreciated the gesture; she didn't want to expose the Lu family, and this arrangement was indeed the most appropriate.

Meng Yunzheng said, "You don't need to worry. In the end, you are just the Shu family's adopted daughter. Although they are looking for you, they haven't gotten anything of great value from you, and they won't pay much attention to you."

Moreover, they've squeezed almost everything out of the Shu family these days. They all know that the person the eldest patriarch of the Shu family values ​​most is that illegitimate second young lady.

As for the third young lady, she grew up in a harsh environment and endured hardships no less than those of poor families.

Especially the expressions of Aunt Xue and others who seemed to want to kill Shu Yu made even Lord Jing and the others feel some sympathy for Shu Yu.

They actually didn't have much doubt about Shu Yu anymore.

Shu Yu couldn't help but chuckle, "But what if this gets exposed in the future? I've lived in Jiangyuan County for three months after all, and I'm not some nobody. It's alright now, their attention is all on the Shu family, but what if something happens in the future? It'll be hard to explain to Lord Jing."

Meng Yunzheng smiled and said, "The future? There will naturally be a different story in the future."

Jiangyuan County is still within Xiang Weinan's sphere of influence. When he stops managing it and leaves the county to the next county magistrate, that will be the time for the Fifth Prince to rise to prominence.

By then, even if Shu Yu's true identity is revealed, it can be said that she was working for the Fifth Prince. Her exile to the southwest was also for official business. Moreover, the Abbot of Dongqing Temple is her master, and he lives in the southwest.

Shu Yu understood; the truth is always written by the victors.

Shu Yu knew what was going on, so she continued talking as she walked. By evening, the carriage was still two kilometers away from the city gate.

The car slowed down, and Shuyu began to dress herself up.

She was found and brought back by Lord Jing's subordinates, so she must look rather disheveled.

Meng Yunzheng had even prepared her clothes. "There are two sets of clothes for you on the estate, both of which fit your figure. I rubbed this one on the ground to check for wear and dirt. You can wear it."

Thank you.

Although Shu Yu was still wearing clothes, Meng Yunzheng still politely turned around to face the carriage wall.

Shu Yu smiled and quickly tidied up.

When Meng Yunzheng turned back, Shu Yu had messed up her hair and gotten her face dirty again.

After a flurry of rustling activity, the carriage came to a stop, and it seemed to be almost done.

A low voice came from outside, "We've arrived."

Shu Yu peeked out; this was the back gate of the manor they had mentioned.

Since they were captured from the manor, Lord Jing's men will naturally take over from here.

Moreover, Shu Yu always wanted to recognize the steward and his wife first, at least to know what they looked like.

Shu Yu got out of the car and walked a few steps forward, where she saw the middle-aged manager and his wife standing not far away.

The two men approached Shu Yu and exchanged a few words. Just in case, Shu Yu went inside the estate and walked around, memorizing the locations. It was getting late, and the city gates would close soon if they didn't enter.

Shu Yu didn't delay any longer and quickly pulled Meng Yunzheng aside to talk. When Zhao Xi came over, she didn't stop him.
