Chapter 1863 Meeting
Zhou's parents quickly ran out, their faces still streaked with tears, perhaps from excitement.
Upon seeing Zhou Tiedong, the two rushed to the carriage, looking him up and down. "Dongzi, how are you? For the past two months, no one has been allowed to visit you in prison. There was also the incident of rebels in the county town. We were worried every day, afraid that something might happen to you in there. You've been released? Come on, let's go home with your parents."
Zhou Tiedong hurriedly said, "Dad, Mom, please don't worry. I just have a few words to say, and then I have to leave."
"Huh?" The two were stunned.
"Father, Mother, this is the Princess of Wen'an County. It was the Princess who brought me out of the prison."
At first, Zhou's parents did see many unfamiliar people around them, but when they saw their son, their worry took over, and they couldn't care less about anything else.
Upon hearing Zhou Tiedong's words, he instantly realized what was happening. His shock followed immediately: the county princess?
They exchanged a glance and hurriedly tried to kneel down.
Shu Yu and Ying Xi helped the man up, saying, "Speak quickly if you have something to say."
Zhou Tiedong grabbed their hands and said, "I haven't been exonerated yet. I asked the Lady of Wen'an County to bring me to see you. But don't worry, I'll be fine. In three to five days at most, I'll be able to go home."
"Really?" Zhou's parents were overjoyed.
Zhou Tiedong nodded. That's what County Magistrate Lu said.
"That's good, that's good." The two quickly realized that it was the Princess of Wen'an who had saved their son. Although they didn't know exactly how she had saved him, she was definitely their savior.
Ignoring Shu Yu's objections, the two insisted on kneeling down before her and kowtowing deeply. "Thank you, County Princess, for saving our Dongzi. Thank you, thank you."
Shu Yu said, “You don’t need to thank me. I also need Zhou Tiedong’s help. However, Zhou Tiedong’s charges have not been cleared yet, so don’t go around talking about it, lest something unexpected happens and he suffers more for no reason. If others ask, just say that you don’t know the details, but that I allowed him to see you.”
"Yes, yes, we understand, we promise not to tell."
Shu Yu wasn't worried that Chen Bing would find out about this. It wouldn't get to them in such a short time, and even if he did find out, the outcome wouldn't change.
She just felt that Zhou Tiedong hadn't been brought to court yet and hadn't been acquitted by the government, so spreading rumors that he was fine would cause some trouble later.
After meeting Zhou's parents, Zhou Tiedong was about to leave.
He knew the county princess had to continue her journey, but before leaving, he still asked, "A-Yue, are you alright?"
Ah Yue was his fiancée.
Zhou's mother nodded. "She's fine. She's been coming to see us often these days. That girl is very devoted. She keeps saying she'll wait for you to come out. You can't let her down in the future."
Zhou Tiedong nodded heavily, his eyes filled with tears.
He then lowered the carriage curtain and lay back down.
The carriage started moving again. After watching them leave, Zhou's parents explained to the villagers who came to ask questions that they didn't know anything, only that the person at the head of the carriage was County Magistrate Lu, and that their son had begged the county magistrate to come back to see them.
As for the rest, they themselves are still confused.
Shu Yu and his group continued on their way. Because they set off late, they were delayed on the road and finally arrived at Changjin Prefecture City in the evening.
