Chapter 1554 Zhou Ermei is getting engaged
Shu Yu hummed in agreement. "Lord Fei has already sent people to secretly keep an eye on them. What do you suggest we do now?"
Letting them stay in Dong'an Prefecture is like letting a time bomb explode.
But if they were killed or captured, the Xiao family in the capital would know that Hao Dingshan was in trouble, and then Dong'an Prefecture, Dongqing Temple, and even Meng Yunzheng would become their targets of suspicion.
“We definitely need to send them back,” Meng Yunzheng pondered. “But we can’t let them come for nothing.”
"What's the meaning?"
"Why don't we just go along with their plan?"
Shu Yu smiled and asked, "How do you plan to turn the tables on me?"
“The abbot of Dongqing Temple has gone to the capital, and we definitely can’t let them know about this. So we’ll just keep the status quo at Dongqing Temple. Hao Dingshan’s purpose in coming here is another one, isn’t it? That’s me. We’ll stir up some trouble, make him think he’s learned some incredible news, and make him hurry back to the capital. Maybe… we can even cause some trouble for the Xiao family.”
Shu Yu frowned. "But won't this make them focus all their attention on you?"
"So, this matter needs to be planned carefully. Don't worry, leave Hao Dingshan's problem to me. Isn't your shop going to open in a few days? You'll be busy during this time, so just focus on your shop and I'll take care of the rest."
"But……"
"If I need anything, I'll ask you for help again?"
Shu Yu thought for a moment, then could only sigh and nod, "Alright, then be careful."
"Okay." After finishing the business, the ink on the poster was almost dry. Meng Yunzheng rolled it up and handed it to her. "I'll have to trouble Uncle Lu with the pedestal and pole underneath."
Shu Yu took it. "Okay, I'm leaving now."
It was getting late, so she didn't linger and hurriedly took Yingxi back to Fenghuai Street.
As soon as the two entered the house, they saw the old lady and Zhou Qiao talking. Both of them were smiling and seemed to be in a very good mood.
Shu Yu placed the painting on the table and asked curiously, "What good thing happened?"
The old lady looked at Zhou Qiao and said, "You tell me."
“My sister and Dazhuang are getting engaged.” Zhou Qiao couldn’t help but laugh, clearly very satisfied with the marriage.
Shu Yu was taken aback. Da Zhuang?
"Didn't you say you favored Ruan Dali? How come it's Dazhuang now?"
Zhou Qiao quickly shushed her, "Ayu, I'm more optimistic about Ruan Dali's situation. It's best if the rest of us just know, but please, please don't let it slip."
Seeing her nervous expression, Shu Yu couldn't help but chuckle and said, "Of course." It concerns the reputation and future life of the second sister of the Zhou family, so she certainly wouldn't talk about it outside.
Zhou Qiao then said, "Actually, it's quite a coincidence. Just the day before yesterday, didn't I go back to Shangshi Village?"
The day before yesterday was the day after the Mid-Autumn Festival. At that time, Shu Yu went to the county government to be a witness in Chen Ji's case.
Zhou Qiao left earlier than her, but she went back to Shangshi Village with Lu Dasong and his wife.
"Shortly after I got home, my second sister came to see me. She said that on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the family bought some of the things I used to like to eat and brought them to me. She sat at home for a while, talked to me for a bit, and then prepared to go back. I saw her off at the village entrance, and that's when I ran into Dazhuang, who was also preparing to leave the village."
Dazhuang went home the day before to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival. He has been doing odd jobs outside for the past few years and has almost never gone home for holidays like the Mid-Autumn Festival.
