Chapter 1171 It was actually the Hou family.
The woman cheered, "It would be wonderful if we could run into each other. If Ayu knew that Xiaoqing and I had left the post station in Linzhang Prefecture, he would be very surprised."
Lord Wan laughed and said, "Even if you don't run into her, it's alright. Didn't you write her a letter and send it to Dong'an Prefecture before you left? She'll know when she sees that letter. You'll meet sooner or later."
"Mmm." The woman's eyes were slightly brightening.
If Shu Yu were to meet Lord Wan now, she would be shocked to discover that the woman before her was none other than Lady Hou, who had shared joys and sorrows with her and was supposed to stay at the post station with the Sixth Miss Shu Qing.
Unfortunately, the group had already finished eating and were boarding a carriage, leaving the dock.
Since it was still early, they decided not to stay in Dong'an Prefecture.
Tianning County is not far away, so they simply decided to stay at an inn in the county town tonight.
Gouwa got into the carriage and stood by the window looking outside.
He's much braver now, unlike when he first rode in a carriage in the capital, when he was so apprehensive that he fell asleep.
Looking at the streets, houses, people, and stalls of Dong'an Prefecture, he couldn't help but feel happy.
Shu Yu then introduced them to each other, and as they talked along the way, the group quickly arrived at Tianning County.
The county town was no different from the last time Shu Yu came; they stayed at the same inn where they had stayed before and asked for a few superior rooms.
After putting their things away, everyone except Doctor Zhao, who stayed at the inn, went out and headed straight for the Quansheng Escort Agency.
Oh, and Gouwa was also left behind.
The child had been traveling and Shu Yu noticed that he looked a little drowsy, so she simply left him at the inn and asked Doctor Zhao to look after him.
Gouwa is already very familiar with Dr. Zhao, and the child feels at ease with him around.
The group quickly headed to South Fifth Street, where Meng Pei and Meng Yunzheng had not returned for ten years.
Walking on the familiar yet somewhat unfamiliar streets now, I feel a bit apprehensive about returning home, especially as I get closer to South Fifth Street, this feeling is even stronger.
"I wonder if the neighbors from back then are still around," Meng Pei said, looking around at the houses on the street.
Meng Yunzheng smiled and said, "Several generations have lived here, so it must still be here."
As the father and son talked, they gradually saw the half-burned Quansheng Escort Agency not far away.
The two stopped almost simultaneously, then quickened their pace and soon stood at the entrance of the Quansheng Escort Agency.
However, they did not see the crazy beggar in the corner.
Meng Pei looked around before turning to Shu Yu and asking, "Shu Yu, did you see Uncle Yan here earlier?"
Ever since Meng Pei learned that Yan Bo had been staying at the Quansheng Escort Agency all these years, he had been eager to see him again. Especially after learning about Yan Bo's current situation, he became even more anxious.
Therefore, this time he also brought Zhao Xi along to check on Yan Bo's situation.
But the person was nowhere to be found.
Shu Yu nodded. "It was indeed here before. Shall I ask someone?"
As she spoke, she turned her head, intending to ask the waiter at the restaurant across the street about Yan Bo's whereabouts.
As soon as she turned around, the waiter was standing at the entrance of the restaurant. He looked at Shu Yu in surprise and said, "Miss, is it really you? I thought your back looked a bit like mine, but I didn't dare to recognize you. I was wondering why you're back here again after such a short time. But I wasn't seeing things. It really is you, Miss."
