Chapter 763 The letter contained a prescription.

Seeing that she was having a hard time dismantling the seat, Meng Yunzheng kicked off and got onto the mule cart as well.

As soon as he approached, he smelled a faint, almost imperceptible odor of blood. But this smell was mixed with other scents, as if deliberately trying to mask the bloody odor.

He told Shu Yu to step aside, and with a forceful movement, he removed the seat that was wedged against the car wall.

It's not usually this difficult to disassemble, but the main problem is that there was a person hidden inside, and that person was so big that the seat was bent out of shape.

As soon as Meng Yunzheng disassembled the seat, he saw a person hiding underneath, a tall person with their back to him, bent over.

Moreover, this person was bound up like a rice dumpling, with hemp rope tightly wrapped around his body, making him look a bit like a twisted caterpillar at first glance.

Meng Yunzheng turned to look at Shu Yu, who nodded firmly, "This is the gift I'm giving you."

She made a point of tying a knot in the hemp rope and then adding a bow, so that it would meet the standards for a gift.

Zhao Xi, who was outside the carriage, peeked out and put half his face near the window, so he naturally saw the person.

His eyes widened immediately, and he asked in a low voice, "Who is this?"

Shu Yu reached out to turn the person over, but Meng Yunzheng was faster. "I'll do it, you get out of the car first."

Shu Yu then jumped down.

The light inside the carriage wasn't very bright, so Meng Yunzheng simply dragged the man off the mule cart.

They dragged the person to the carriage shaft, revealing their face, and Meng Yunzheng and Zhao Xi fell silent.

Then the two of them turned to look at Shu Yu, their faces showing disbelief.

Shu Yu smiled and said, "Get them inside first, then I'll explain."

Meng Yunzheng and Zhao Xi neatly carried Cheng Dong inside, closed the door to the main room, tied Cheng Dong to a chair, and then turned around to look at her with puzzled expressions.

Shu Yu then told him about her trip out of the city to visit the Hou family and her encounter with Cheng Dong.

Upon hearing this, Meng Yunzheng's expression changed slightly. "Did he hurt you?"

He looked her up and down, afraid that Cheng Dong might make things difficult for her, but he didn't say where she was injured.

Shu Yu shook her head. "Why would I let myself get hurt? Cheng Dong desperately needed someone to help him at the time, and my identity just happened to be suitable. The person who knew him and wanted to curry favor with Lord Cheng through him had to lie to me and keep me around to do things for him."

Meng Yunzheng was relieved to find out that she was not hurt.

Zhao Xi burst into laughter. "Cheng Dong's luck is terrible. Of all people to meet, he had to run into you. Others may not know whether he's good or bad, but you know more than Lord Cheng does."

He looked at the people who were tied up with great sympathy, thinking that it would probably be better for them to fall into the hands of Lord Cheng than to fall into the hands of Shu Yu.

Look, they've been given away as gifts.

"Oh, right, I haven't had a chance to read the letter he gave me yet." Shu Yu took the letter out of her pocket. "Here, take a look at what it says."

Meng Yunzheng opened the letter and took out the letter paper inside.

However, after looking at it for a while, he frowned. Seeing that his expression was strange, Shu Yu quickly asked, "What's wrong?"

Meng Yunzheng handed her the letter. After reading it, Shu Yu frowned as well. "No wonder he entrusted the letter to me so readily. This is a prescription."

This is clearly a secret letter; only the recipient can likely decipher its contents.
