Chapter 1965 Three Boys Stolen and Scammed
When Gan Rui saw Meng Han glaring at him, he immediately stood up straight, his smile becoming even brighter, though he was very reserved in his movements.
“Miss Meng, we meet again. Well, I’ve come here on important business. I’m here to tell the county magistrate and Young Master Lu that they have all returned.”
Meng Han was about to retort when she looked closely and saw Shu Rui and the other two. She immediately exclaimed happily, "Rui, you're back? When did you come back? I heard you were gone for many days."
"Yes, Sister Ahan, we went to several places this time, which took a bit longer."
Meng Han was envious. "You went to so many places? What places were they? Were they fun? It's such a pity, I want to go too."
Before Shu Rui could answer, Gan Rui quickly said, "Where does Miss Meng want to go? Actually, I've been to quite a few places. I went to several prefectural cities with my brother to collect debts at other shops. If Miss Meng wants to go, I can..." He quickly shut his mouth, glanced at Shu Yu, and silently took a step back.
Seeing this, Xun Sheng probably understood what was going on. Noticing the awkward atmosphere, he immediately said to Shu Yu, "Princess, your brother has returned. I imagine you have much to say. We won't disturb you any longer. Farewell."
After saying that, he pulled the reluctant Gan Rui away.
Once they were outside the shop, Xun Sheng asked in a low voice, "What exactly happened? When did you and the county princess become so familiar? And what you just said about that Miss Meng..."
Gan Rui's eyes darted around, and he stammered, but his face quietly flushed red.
After a while, he suddenly raised his head, tugged at Xun Sheng's sleeve and said, "Brother Xun, I would like to ask you for a favor."
Xun Sheng, “…” I just got back.
Gan Rui had already dragged him forward. Once they were far away, Jiang Fengshou in the shop looked away, clicking his tongue in disapproval, and then turned to look at the backyard.
In the backyard, Meng Han hummed twice, feeling that Gan Rui was acting strangely.
Her attention quickly fell on Shu Rui and the other two, and she began to inquire about their travels.
Shu Yu and Ying Xi exchanged a glance and sighed softly.
That evening, the backyard where the Lu family rented a place was bustling with joy. The third son had returned, and the atmosphere became noisy as well.
Everyone at the dinner table was wolfing down their food, especially Da Bao, who grabbed a chicken leg and acted completely unlike a scholar. He took a bite and exclaimed how delicious it was, then looked incredibly sad and said, "Home-cooked food is still the best."
Seeing their expressions, Shu Yu couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. "What's wrong? You guys aren't getting enough to eat while you're traveling? Hmm, looking closely, you do look a bit thinner."
Upon hearing this, Da Bao shrank back, looking somewhat guilty.
Erniu snorted coldly, "It's all Dabao's fault, someone stole his money bag."
Da Bao, unconvinced, jumped to his feet. "Didn't you get scammed out of your money too?"
Erniu argued, "I couldn't help but feel sorry for her because she looked so pitiful. How was I supposed to know she was a liar who cursed herself to be orphaned and said such outrageous things, and then tried to extort money from me?"
Shu Yu looked left and right, "Your experiences... are quite rich." Indeed, going out to gain experience is beneficial for growth.
Meng Han then asked, "What about Arui? Is there anything wrong with Arui's money bag?"
