Chapter 40: Farewell
In the Shili Pavilion, Lin Zhong was waiting for the Yue family.
That day, all the people of the Yue family were taken away. He, the housekeeper, and some servants who had been released from their indentures by Yue Fuli in advance were also driven away by the imperial guards.
He was so frustrated that he failed to arrange for the burial of his mistress in time. However, he did not expect that just two days ago, he received an anonymous letter telling him that Su Yuanniang had been buried and gave him the address.
After learning that the Yue family members were exiled today, he came to the Shili Pavilion outside the city early, one to send Cheng Yi to the Yue family members, and the other to tell them that Su Yuanniang had been buried.
Seeing the officers escorting the Yue family members towards them, Steward Lin was the first to step forward and then quietly stuffed some silver into the leading officer, Hu Wei.
"Go ahead, but don't take too long. We still have to hurry." Hu Wei weighed the silver in his hand and said to Steward Lin with a smile, "Remember, you can't leave our sight."
"Sir, I know the rules."
"Yeah!" Hu Wei nodded, then waved his hand and asked everyone to stop and rest.
Yue Fuli also saw Butler Lin, so she left the team and walked towards him.
"The little one has met the young lady."
"Uncle Lin, have you been waiting for a long time?" Yue Fuli looked at Lin Zhong with a smile. Seeing that he looked good, she felt relieved knowing that those people did not make things difficult for him.
"Not bad." Lin Zhong smiled, then said to Yue Fuli, "Miss, time is limited, so I'll be brief."
"Speaking."
"Miss, I have decided to follow you to Qianzhou. It is just right that I can have someone to look after me on the way."
"Uncle Lin, you?" Yue Fuli wanted to say that you don't have to do this, but before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Lin Zhong, who said, "Miss, I have made up my mind. You don't need to persuade me. It's useless."
"Okay, then I won't say much. However, Uncle Lin can go to Qianzhou in advance and doesn't have to come with us."
"But?" Lin Zhong was still a little worried. He was afraid that if he left, Yue Fuli and the others would have a hard time. If he followed them secretly, he could take care of things, even look after them. At least they wouldn't go hungry.
He had heard that the exiles were not only required to walk a certain distance every day, but were also not given enough food or warm clothes, so many people died on the way and only a few actually reached their destination.
"Uncle Lin, I know what you're worried about. But don't worry, I will definitely bring everyone to Qianzhou safely."
"Okay, since the young lady said so, I will rush to Qianzhou first."
"Yeah!" Yue Fuli nodded, thinking of her mother who had not been buried in time, she asked directly, "By the way, what about my mother's funeral arrangements?"
"Miss, even if you don't ask, I still want to tell you. It's like this..."
Lin Zhong told Yue Fuli what happened next and took out the anonymous letter. After reading the letter, Yue Fuli felt a little relieved and asked Lin Zhong, "Uncle Lin, have you found out who the other party is?"
Lin Zhong shook his head. He had checked the information after receiving the letter, but found nothing. The person behind this was very cautious, probably not wanting them to know his identity.
Yue Fuli didn't worry about it. She wrote down the place where her mother was buried and planned to go there to pay her respects in the evening.
Afterwards, Yue Fuli talked to Lin Zhong for a while, explained some things, and then said goodbye.
Hu Wei saw that Lin Zhong had left and Yue Fuli had returned to the team, so he ordered them to set off again.
