Chapter 832 Aunt Xue is Gone

Shu Yu and his group were not in a hurry, so they did not walk very fast.

She tidied up all the gifts that everyone had given her, and seeing that they had taken up most of the carriage, she couldn't help but rub her temples.

I thought there were plenty of cars, so I wasn't worried at all.

"Ayu, look at this!" The old lady's exclamation suddenly came from beside him.

Shu Yu turned her head and saw the familiar package in the old lady's hand.

She remembered... it was a gift from the county magistrate.

Looking at the old woman's other hand, a look of surprise flashed across her face. "This cloak..."

It's a white fox fur cloak.

The county magistrate actually sent such a wonderful gift.

Shu Yu took it; it was soft and warm to the touch, and its pure white color made it look like it was of excellent quality.

The old lady was afraid that she might accidentally tear it, so she quickly told her to put it away. "I didn't expect you to be so thoughtful, Ayu. Put it away quickly. Don't let the car bump into you and cause you to get hurt."

"Grandma, it's not that exaggerated." A cloak is meant to be worn, so it's normal for it to get bumped and scratched.

That's what she thought, but seeing the old lady's nervous look, she put it away.

There were only her and the old lady in the carriage, and Meng Yunzheng was driving the car.

Daya and Sanya sat together, with Zhao Xi driving.

Ruan and Da Hu sat in the last mule cart, driven by Lu Erbai.

The three vehicles lined up and left Heichang County, heading straight for Linzhang Prefecture.

However, the car stopped at the post station after noon.

Shu Yu got off the carriage and said to the old lady, "This is the post station where Hou and the others are staying."

The old lady had a very good impression of Hou, and after entering, she inquired about Hou first.

When Madam Hou and the Sixth Miss arrived, they saw the Lu family members all gathered in the courtyard.

She was stunned. "You...why are you all here? What happened?"

As soon as the question left my mouth, I saw that the Lu family members were all smiling, as if they were in a very good mood.

She immediately felt relieved; it seemed that even if something went wrong, it would be a good thing.

Sure enough, Shu Yu stepped forward and said to her, "Aunt Hou, I'm leaving."

"Go? Where to?"

"Return to Dong'an Prefecture."

The Hou mother and daughter's eyes widened in shock. They hadn't misheard. A-Yu said she wanted to go back to Dong'an Prefecture? But, how could that be possible?

Shu Yu said, "I have been acquitted."

She recounted how she had invented the heating pack, submitted it to the emperor, and received his decree.

The Hou couple were completely dumbfounded. Wasn't this development a bit too sudden?

A person who is usually so composed, suddenly felt somewhat lost.

With Ayu gone, the mother and daughter here will truly have no one to associate with.

However, for the Lu family, this was a blessing they couldn't have asked for, so she was naturally happy for her.

Hou remained silent for a long time. After she had fully processed the matter, she let out a long breath and said goodbye to her with some reluctance.

However, Shu Yu was not in a hurry to leave and would stay overnight, so she had plenty of time.

Hou had met Zhao Xi before, but had never had the chance to meet Meng Yunzheng. This was the first time she had met him, and she was somewhat curious about his relationship with Shu Yu.

Since Shu Yu didn't bring it up, she remained quiet and didn't ask any further questions.

However, Meng Yunzheng was so handsome that Hou couldn't help but pay more attention to him.

As a result, Meng Yunzheng left directly, and Hou Shi suddenly felt embarrassed, thinking that her attention had made him uncomfortable.

She quickly looked away, but Meng Yunzheng soon returned with a message.

Aunt Xue is gone.
