Chapter 1058 Zhao Xi is still here
When Shu Yu saw Meng Yunzheng off, she passed by the front yard and didn't see Zhao Xi. She assumed he had gone to prepare things in advance.
I didn't expect him to just go to the county government office?
Zhao Xi paused for a moment before asking uncertainly, "Ayu, do you mean... he's already gone to the capital?"
"you do not know?"
Zhao Xi slapped his thigh. "He never told me that at all."
His face immediately turned grim. "When did he leave?"
Just now.
Zhao Xi turned and ran, saying, "I'll chase after him right away."
However, he ran a couple of steps outside and then came back. "I remember Mrs. Fan gave you two horses today, right? Give me one."
There was only one horse at home, and Meng Yunzheng had probably ridden it away by now.
Shu Yu quickly led Zhao Xi to the stable, while the rest of the Lu family stood there looking at each other.
"What do you mean? Yunzheng went to the capital?"
"I heard he had some business in the capital, but he didn't say he was leaving today."
Shu Yu remained silent the entire way, her brows furrowed tightly. Therefore, Meng Yunzheng only told her about his trip to the capital, not even Zhao Xi.
Seeing her like this, Zhao Xi knew she was worried, so he quickly said, "Don't think too much. I guess A-Yun wants me to spend more time with your sister to develop our relationship now that I'm engaged, which is why he didn't bring me along. He's fine, and he has people protecting him, so don't worry."
Shu Yu nodded. "I know."
The two walked to the stable, where two horses were eating hay and looked very energetic.
It's just that one is an adult and the other is not.
Zhao Xi led out the adult horse and said to Shu Yu, "I'll catch up now. Don't worry, take good care of your sister and wait for us to come back."
Shu You also ran up and saw him mount his horse and head out the side door. She couldn't help but feel anxious.
Zhao Xi waved to her, "Ayou, don't worry, we'll get married when you come back."
After saying that, he flicked the reins and galloped off to catch up with Meng Yunzheng.
Shu You only had time to take two steps forward, "Be careful..."
Zhao Xi waved to her with his back to her.
Only after the person had completely disappeared did Shu You grasp Shu Yu's hand and whisper, "Yu, did something happen in the capital?"
"No, it's just that there's something that A-Yun needs to take care of. Zhao Xi used to always be with him. Now that Zhao Xi is engaged, A-Yun is afraid of disturbing you two. Besides, their bet has expired, and Zhao Xi is no longer his follower, so he didn't tell Zhao Xi when he returned to the capital."
Shu You knew that Zhao Xi would become Meng Yunzheng's follower.
Hearing Shu Yu's explanation, she was finally relieved.
"Let's go back, so our parents won't worry."
The two returned to the hall, whereupon the Lu family members surrounded them and asked with concern.
Shu Yu repeated his explanation, and everyone was finally relieved.
In the evening, Xiang Weinan sent Hu Li over to explain the situation on Zhang County Princess's side.
“Zhang Maolin committed insubordination, and there is ample evidence and witness testimony. He himself also admitted it and was given twenty strokes of the cane. However, the county magistrate did not cause any substantial harm, and it is not true that she made a false accusation.”
Hu Li sighed. When he asked Wei Nan about the cause and effect, Princess Zhang was so shocked by the gifts sent from the capital that she was speechless.
The people who accused Shu of offending Magistrate Zhang were the onlookers.
