Chapter 597 Let Zhao Xi go see

Xu Zhensheng is a very quiet child who hardly speaks. Although he is young, he is very efficient at his work.

However, when he saw the candy, he was stunned and looked up at her in surprise.

Shu Yu stuffed it directly into his pocket and said, "Here's a sweet treat for you."

Xu Zhensheng couldn't help but look at his parents. Seeing that her son was swallowing hard even though he didn't say anything, Madam Lin didn't make him return it.

My son came here to suffer at such a young age. He can't even get a decent meal, let alone candy.

She patted Xu Zhensheng's head and said, "Please accept Miss Shu's kind offer."

However, she was also curious about where the candy came from. Just two days ago, this girl was penniless when she came to Zhengdao Village.

Shu Yu didn't hide it and told him about recognizing her relatives while she was working.

She figured that even if she didn't say anything, the Zhang family would probably spread the word.

Lin was stunned. "No wonder I noticed you weren't very close to the rest of the Shu family. Shall I call you Miss Lu from now on?"

"Um."

Perhaps because of those two candies, Lin, who usually works quietly, spoke a few more words to her, which was quite unusual.

Shu Yu had taken precautions beforehand, so when Zhao Xi brought her lunch at noon, the Xu family wasn't surprised.

However, everyone else looked at her with surprise.

Shu Yu, holding the warm food box, followed Zhao Xi to a secluded corner to eat.

The wasteland was some distance from where they lived, making it inconvenient for the old lady and her two children to come over.

Even Zhao Xi arrived by mule cart, which was faster and the food was still hot.

The mule cart was parked quite far away, so no one around saw it. After all, it was one thing to deliver food, and he wasn't the only one doing it. But driving a mule cart to deliver food would be too conspicuous and make him a target of attention.

While eating, Shu Yu told Zhao Xi about what had happened in the Shu family yesterday, especially the situation of the second daughter.

Zhao Xi listened thoughtfully, "You mean, the second young lady didn't suffer a stroke from anger?"

"You're a doctor?" Shu Yu looked at him with a smile.

Zhao Xi, “…”

He looked like he suddenly understood. "Okay, when I go back later, I'll sneak into the Shu family's house and check on her."

Shu Yu rubbed her forehead. "Can you please stop talking in such a lewd way?"

Zhao Xi was completely innocent. He hadn't said anything wrong; he really did need to sneak into the Shu family home to check the second young lady's pulse, and he had to do it while she was unconscious.

But thinking about it this way, it really does feel like a womanizer.

Shu Yu warned him, "Be careful not to get seen. It would be terrible if someone made you take responsibility for the Second Miss."

Zhao Xi glanced at her sideways. "You look down on me, don't you? Although I'm not as good as A-Yun, does that mean my rudimentary skills aren't skills? It's just climbing over a wall, it's not that difficult."

Seeing that Shu Yu had finished eating, Zhao Xi stood up. "Alright, I'll head back now. Don't worry, I'll get things done this afternoon and let you know when you get back tonight."

Shu Yu put the food box away and said, "Thank you."

"You're quite polite." Zhao Xi clicked his tongue, took the food box, and left.

Shu Yu rested for a while before returning to continue her work.

In the afternoon, she asked Xu Dali a few more questions about the hunting incident.

When she returned home that evening to hand in her tools, she found the official and told him about exchanging jobs.
