Chapter 1082 Boarding the Ship
Shu Yu looked ahead and thought about what the guy had said to her.
The house has never been repaired or sold, which may not necessarily be because the Meng family is not here.
It's possible that not only people in Tianning County are keeping an eye on things, but also people from Gongqiu are on Uncle Meng's side.
"Miss, will Uncle Yan be alright?"
Shu Yu shook her head, "Definitely not at the moment."
Hearing her speak so confidently, Yingxi felt somewhat relieved.
The carriage traveled all the way to Huajiang Prefecture. It was still early, just past late afternoon.
Shu Yu asked Ying Xi, "Are you going to see your mother?"
After Yingxi's mother remarried, she married into the Ying family in this prefectural city. After she passed away, she was mostly buried with Yingxi's father.
To everyone's surprise, Ying Xi shook his head, his expression bitter. "I don't know where my mother's grave is, or even if their remains have been taken. When the Ying family got into trouble, everyone was thrown into prison. My parents died in prison, and if no one takes care of things outside, their bodies might not even be able to be brought back."
Yingxi and her brother were sold off as soon as they were released from prison. They were sold to Dong'an Prefecture and had no chance to come back or find out where they were going.
Later, she was sold to Jiangyuan County to become a young lady's personal maid, which gave her the opportunity to come back and visit.
The rest of the Ying family were also sold off, so Ying Xi didn't know where his parents' bodies were or whether they had been properly buried.
Seeing this, Shu Yu reached out and patted her shoulder. "It's okay. We won't be in a hurry when we come back from the capital. You can ask around then."
Yingxi's eyes brightened slightly. "Will we pass through Huajiang Prefecture on our way back?"
"We've passed by." By the time they return, the matter of Miyagaoka will be resolved.
If Meng Yunzheng knew that Yan Bo was still in Tianning County, he would definitely come back to see him. At that time, they would no longer need to worry about anyone watching Yan Bo.
In that case, Yingxi would have plenty of time to find out about her mother and stepfather.
Yingxi's eyes reddened slightly. "Thank you, Miss."
Compared to her father, who passed away when she was five, Yingxi had spent more time with her mother and had a deeper bond with her, so she naturally wanted to visit her.
As the two were talking, the carriage slowly arrived at the dock.
Shu Yuding's ship is loading cargo over there; it looks like it will take a while.
Shu Yu greeted the boatman and strolled around the dock. Once the cargo was almost loaded, she boarded the merchant ship one after another, just like the other passengers.
The carriage had already been taken up. Shu Yu and Ying Xi had only booked the room yesterday, and because it was too late and they were in a rush, the location wasn't very good.
With no rooms available on the upper two floors, Shu Yu had to stay in the lower cabin.
The cabins here don't even have windows, so they're not only very stuffy, but also very damp and smelly.
Shu Yu went in and stayed for a short while before coming out. Standing on the deck, she looked at the rooms on the two upper floors with great envy.
It seems she can only wait and see if anyone gets off at the next stop, then she can ask if she can change rooms.
As for now, apart from the necessary time to sleep at night, Shu Yu is unwilling to go back.
The merchant ship began to set sail, and Shu Yu took a small stool and sat on the deck, watching the rippling river and enjoying the scenery along the river.
Yingxi handed over a water pouch. "Miss, are you feeling unwell?"
She knew that some people felt unwell and dizzy when traveling by boat.
