Chapter 1100 He's No Good
Shu Yu pressed her advantage, saying, "You need to change next time."
"Okay." He reached out and took her hand, responding with a smile.
With such a beautiful voice, a handsome face, and gentle eyes, Shu Yu was a little overwhelmed.
However, Zhao Xi was even more unable to bear it. He turned around and gagged twice. "Can't you two find another time and place to pour out your hearts to each other? A-Yun, it's really an eyesore for you to be so affectionate with her dressed like a man. I'm going to throw up."
Meng Yunzheng and Shu Yu, “…” Can we kick him out?
However, Shu Yu looked down at herself, touched her face, and imagined the scene; it was indeed quite uncomfortable.
Fortunately, footsteps came from outside at that moment, and the three of them immediately stopped talking. Shu Yu withdrew her hand and took a step back.
The next moment, there was a knock on the door.
"Young Master, this old servant heard that you have returned."
Meng Yunzheng said silently, "He is the Gong family's butler."
Zhao Xi opened the door and indeed saw the steward standing at the door with his back bent, followed by a number of servants.
The butler and servants immediately came over to pay their respects, his eyes still slightly moist. "Young Master, you're finally back! This old servant knew you were innocent. I just never imagined the murderer would be Miss. Alas, Madam is also greatly affected and bedridden. Only you, Young Master, can make decisions regarding the household affairs."
Meng Yunzheng waved his hand, "I really don't know anything about the affairs of the manor, so let the steward arrange everything. I haven't been eating or sleeping well in prison these past few days, and I'm really exhausted. I want to rest for a while. As for my second brother's funeral, let's wait until Father returns."
"Yes, yes, young master has suffered enough and deserves a good rest." The butler said, gesturing for the servants behind him to step forward. "This old servant will have them tidy up the young master, and also Young Master Zhao and this gentleman..."
He looked at Shu Yu, unsure how to address her.
But Meng Yunzheng didn't seem inclined to introduce them, only saying, "This is Lord Jing's attendant, who brought me back."
Shu Yu lowered her voice at the opportune moment and said, "The master instructed me to wait for Lord Gong to return and then report the details of the case to him."
"I see." The steward nodded. "Then I'll trouble you. This old servant will have tea and snacks prepared immediately."
After he finished speaking, he instructed the servants behind him to get to work.
Once they had prepared tea and food, Meng Yunzheng dismissed everyone.
The butler wanted to say something, but considering the current situation of the Gong family, this young master had become the sole heir of the Gong family, and no one dared to disobey him.
Therefore, the steward left without even asking any questions.
As soon as he left, Zhao Xi couldn't help but curse, "Old man."
He turned to Shu Yu and said, "This guy isn't any better. He used to help Madam Gong in her evil deeds, but now that he knows Madam Gong can't be trusted, he immediately switched sides and came here."
Shu Yu didn't care what the steward was thinking. Anyway, after today, Gongqiu would probably be finished. At that time, not only the steward, but the future of the entire Gong family would be uncertain.
She sat down opposite Meng Yunzheng. "What do we do next?"
"Just wait."
"Wait for what?"
Meng Yunzheng smiled and said, "Wait for Lord Jing to send someone to fetch you back."
Shu Yu felt that he was being deliberately mysterious, but at this moment, Lord Jing was indeed going to the palace to meet the emperor with the case files concerning the Gong family.
