Chapter 1228 Ying Dong and Ying Xi are back
Granny Gu then lowered the carriage curtain and told the driver to continue on his way.
The two horses in front didn't walk very fast at first, since the street was narrow and it was easy to bump into people.
But once they turned onto Fenghuai Street, the road became much wider, and there were fewer pedestrians. The two horses instantly quickened their pace and galloped forward.
Before long, it stopped at the front gate of the Lu family's house.
The man on horseback leaped down and strode inside.
The gatekeeper was taken aback when he saw them, then exclaimed with delight, "Ying Dong, Ying Xi, you're back!"
Ying Dong remained composed and nodded slightly.
Yingxi had already run inside as fast as he could.
When she ran to the front yard, she saw the old lady watering flowers under the porch. She quickly went over, stood at attention, and greeted her.
The old lady put down the kettle in her hand and said with a smile, "Yingxi is finally back? I hope your trip went smoothly."
"It went well, thank you for your concern, ma'am."
"That's good. Yu happens to be home today, so go to Yu Garden to find her."
"Mm." Ying Xi nodded repeatedly, then turned and ran towards the backyard.
Shu Yu is thinking about how many people to hire in the first batch after the workshop is built.
But as she thought about it, she couldn't help but think of Meng Yunzheng. Her sister and Zhao Xi's wedding was in two days, but they still hadn't returned.
Logically speaking, I should have arrived home a few days ago.
Shu Yu was worried that something might have happened to them on the way.
She sighed, her mind a bit muddled, and decided to stop thinking about it.
I got up, took a cloak from the coat rack, put it on, and decided to go out for a walk.
Just as she tied the cloak, hurried footsteps sounded outside, followed by Yingxi's slightly excited voice, "Miss."
Shu Yu was taken aback, then turned around in surprise.
Sure enough, Yingxi stepped into the room.
"Miss, I'm back."
Shu Yu flashed a big smile, took a few steps forward, and asked, "You're finally back! How did it go? Did you get everything done?"
"It's done." Ying Xi nodded, his breathing still a little erratic.
Shu Yu asked her to sit down and pushed the tea over to her.
Yingxi took a sip of his drink before saying, "My mother's grave has been moved to be next to my father's. However, my father's relatives initially disagreed, saying that my mother had remarried and there was no reason for her to be buried with my father. Fortunately, Young Master Meng came back and helped us come up with a plan, which is how we moved it."
Knowing that Shu Yu must want to know about Meng Yunzheng's situation, she glossed over her own family's affairs and quickly brought up his, "Young Master Meng and Uncle Meng came back with us, but Uncle Meng said that since it was his first time in Jiangyuan County and his first time visiting our home, he couldn't very well look disheveled and unkempt. So they went back to Liufang Lane to freshen up and will come over later. They asked my brother and me to come back first to tell Miss."
Shu Yu nodded, relieved to know they had arrived in Jiangyuan County, but quickly frowned again, "Why are you back so late? You should have been back a few days ago."
Yingxi nodded, "Indeed, we should have returned a few days earlier, but we ran into a few acquaintances on the day we set off."
When the word "acquaintance" was mentioned, Ying Xi couldn't help but glance at Shu Yu, his expression quite subtle.
Shu Yu raised an eyebrow. "What, is this acquaintance somehow related to me?"
