Chapter 1782 Yuan Gui's Astonishment
Yuan Gui raised his hand to greet them. Some of them were familiar with him and poked their heads out from behind the courtyard wall, asking him in a low voice, "You're all back? Are you alright? I heard there was a big commotion in the county town, and some bandits even came from our village. Luckily, the general from the imperial court set up a trap at the village entrance beforehand, so we were spared."
"Yuan Gui, did you come back from the county town? Did you encounter any danger along the way?" With someone taking the lead, villagers from both sides of the road peeked out from their courtyard walls one after another.
As Yuan Gui walked forward, he shouted back, "It's alright now. Those rebels have all been arrested. The city gates are open, so you can come and go as you please. Don't worry. I have to go home now. I'll chat with you all later."
Everyone wanted to ask more questions, but when they saw Shu Yu sitting in the carriage, they all shut their mouths and just looked at them curiously.
When the carriage stopped in front of Granny Fang's house, Yuan Gui finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Grandma Fang was helped down, took out her key and opened the courtyard gate. The inside was deserted, and there were still a few piles of snow in the corner that hadn't melted yet.
Fortunately, their roof had been repaired by Yuan Gui earlier, so it wasn't damaged by the snow.
Grandma Fang said to Yuan Gui, "Why don't you lead the village chief around the village? I'll tidy up the house first."
Yuan Gui originally wanted to help, but after thinking about it, he agreed. He tied the carriage to the side and said to Shu Yu, "Lord Lu Xiang, this way please."
Shu Yu glanced at Yuan Gui and nodded in agreement. Ying Xi followed behind, walking slowly.
After walking a few steps, Yuan Gui asked hesitantly, "Lu Xiangjun, you...you seem very curious about my mother-in-law's affairs? Not only this time, but you also asked me about it last time at the clinic."
"Yes." Shu Yu didn't shy away from the question at all.
Yuan Gui hesitated for a long time before saying, risking offending her, "But Lady Lu, my mother-in-law doesn't want to talk about what happened back then. If possible, could you please not ask?"
Shu Yu sighed, "I don't want to ask either, but I have my reasons, don't I?"
"What's your predicament?"
"Grandma Fang may be a long-lost relative of mine."
Yuan Gui's legs suddenly stopped, and he looked at her in astonishment. "Lu Xiangjun, what did you say? Family?"
"Well, based on the information we have so far, it's pretty much confirmed. It's just that Grandma Fang has always been very reluctant to talk about what happened back then, and I don't understand why she doesn't want to bring it up. She even said that she has no relatives left in her hometown. I don't know what she thinks or feels about us now, so I want to find out first before I can explain it to her."
But Grandma Fang doesn't want to bring it up, so what can Shu Yu do?
“I always felt that Grandma Fang had some misunderstanding about her hometown.”
Yuan Gui opened his mouth, never expecting this to be the reason.
But then he felt a little lost. He had been living with Grandma Fang for over a year, and he had completely regarded her as his own family.
But now, his mother-in-law's real relatives have come to visit, and it's none other than Lu Xiangjun. Yuan Gui thinks that perhaps his relationship with Granny Fang has come to an end.
He really wanted to treat his mother-in-law as his grandmother, but Grandma Fang had suffered too much in her life. If she could be recognized by Lu Xiangjun and the others, her future life would definitely not be too difficult.
He can't be too selfish.
Yuan Gui took a deep breath. "I don't know what my mother-in-law has been through all these years, but she definitely misses her relatives in her hometown very much. If you really want to know, Mr. Lu, you can ask someone."
