Chapter 2000 Departure
Meng Yunzheng got into the car and then inquired about Lu Wu's purpose. After listening to Shu Yu's explanation, he pondered for a moment, "Isn't there a bodyguard named Cheng? It will be easy for him to make a call to the local government when he goes back this time."
Shu Yu didn't really think of Cheng Xian at first. After all, the other party was the governor's subordinate. They weren't that familiar with each other, and Shu Yu didn't want to owe him a favor.
So she thought of writing letters to Huifeng Escort Agency and Wang Changdong.
Wang Changdong now works in the county government office of Heichang County and is highly regarded by the county magistrate. Although Qingxuan County is not under his jurisdiction, Wang Changdong has many connections and likely has friends in the neighboring county.
Upon hearing this, Meng Yunzheng nodded in agreement, saying, "Wang Changdong is indeed more suitable for this matter."
Cheng Xian's status is too high; every word and action represents Lord Cheng's will. If he were to specifically look after a few unfamiliar girls, it would disrupt their normal lives and make them the focus of attention, which would go against their desire to live a low-key life.
Wang Changdong was different; he was a local, and his status was neither high nor low. He could manage to keep the girls from being harassed by thugs or causing trouble for them.
However, although Shu Yu did not ask Cheng Xian to look after her, she did entrust Cheng Xian to deliver the letter she wrote to Wang Changdong.
If she were to send the letter through the post station, she didn't know how long it would take. Chengxian was rushing back to the southwest and happened to be passing through Heichang County, so it would be convenient for him to hand the letter to Wang Changdong.
However, Shu Yu still needed to explain the contents of the letter to Cheng Xian.
To everyone's surprise, Chengxian's expression turned somewhat strange upon hearing the name Qingxuan County.
Shu Yu found it strange, "What's wrong with Qingxuan County?"
"It's quite a coincidence that the Cheng family's shop is in Qingxuan County, which is where Cheng Wenbao and his sister are going now."
Shu Yu, “…” That is indeed quite a coincidence.
Chengxian carefully put the letter away. "Okay, I'll deliver this letter to you."
"Thank you." Shu Yu had prepared a lot of melon seeds and sunflower oil for him, telling him to keep some and take some back to Master Cheng.
Chengxian left the next day; he did not go with Shuyu.
Shu Yu and his group were in no hurry to travel by carriage, taking their time. Cheng Xian, however, needed to return as soon as possible to report back after finishing his business, so he rode his horse at full speed and couldn't afford to linger on the road.
After Chengxian left, Shuyu settled the affairs of the shop, returned the rented courtyard, and set off to prepare for her departure.
Two carriages, a group of six people, and a bunch of miscellaneous items filled the carriages to the brim.
Meng Yunzheng saw them off out of the city, and only after the carriage disappeared from sight did he turn back, his back view inexplicably revealing loneliness.
Shu Yu was a little tired at first, and leaned against the carriage, swaying back and forth.
But they hadn't gone far when they heard the arguing of three boys from the carriage behind them.
Shu Yu lifted the carriage curtain and asked Ying Dong, who was driving, "What are they arguing about?"
Shu Rui poked her head out and asked, "Second sister, which places will we pass through on our way back?"
Shu Yu: "Didn't I just tell you the route yesterday? Have you already forgotten?"
"No, we were thinking, we were thinking, when we pass through Huajiang Prefecture, could we go to Tianning County?" Erniu poked his head out.
Tianning County... is exactly the place Shu Yu planned to go to.
What puzzled her was why these three boys were so interested in that side of the road.
What are you going to Tianning County for?
