Heading south? But Meng Pei just said that the Lin family escorted the coffin back to their ancestral home in the north.
"So, he started from the north and traveled south by boat?" Shu Yu guessed. "Or is he actually in the south and is just going home?"
Meng Pei shook his head. "I don't know. I went to the government office to inquire, and Lin Yong's household registration was indeed cancelled. The Lin family went to their hometown in the north."
At this point, the trail has completely gone cold.
After the Lin family left, they did not contact anyone, not even sending any letters.
Meng Pei raised his head and said, "I plan to go to the north."
Shu Yu was taken aback. "Uncle Meng wants to go to the Lin family's ancestral home in person?"
"Yes, I won't feel at ease until this matter is clarified. Whether he plotted against me or not, I can't live with this suspicion for the rest of my life."
Meng Pei is a decisive person; he does what he says he will do. He plans to make preparations tomorrow and set off the day after tomorrow.
Shu Yu said, "Uncle Meng, let Ying Dong go with you."
Meng Pei laughed and said, "No need. You don't have many skilled people around you. Ying Dong is capable, and it's better for him to follow you than to run around aimlessly with me. Don't worry, I'll take Yan Bo with me."
Yanbo's kung fu is even better than Meng Pei's, and he was involved in the martial arts world in his early years. In terms of experience and background, he is indeed more suitable than Ying Dong.
"Okay, Uncle Meng, please be careful."
Shu Yu had originally considered asking Meng Pei for help in bringing Yuan Gui along when forming the racing team.
Now that he was busy with other things, Shu Yu didn't mention it again.
Without further ado, Meng Pei didn't need to prepare much. The house was currently being looked after and had been repaired, so there was no need to worry too much.
Two days later, Meng Pei and Shu Yu both set off from Quansheng Escort Agency.
However, after leaving the city, the two went their separate ways, one heading south and the other north, at the city gate.
After Meng Pei and the others had gone far away, Shu Yu sighed, lowered the carriage curtain, and said to Ying Xi, "Let's go back too."
"yes."
Yingxi gave the reins a tug, and the carriage rumbled forward.
After traveling quite a distance, Shu Yu got out of the carriage and sat side by side with Ying Xi on the carriage shaft.
There were only the two of them in the carriage; the rest of the carriage was filled with various suitcases and food.
In the afternoon, Shu Yu and Ying Xi took turns driving.
She told Yingxi to go into the carriage and rest for a while. They had been delayed on the road and might have to sleep outside. She would have to keep watch at night. But Yingxi kept looking to the side.
Shu Yu raised an eyebrow. "What's wrong? Why are you staring at your brother like that?"
Yingxi turned her head and whispered to Shuyu, "Miss, I think my brother is acting a little strange."
"Something's not right. Isn't everything normal?"
“Back when we were at Changjin Mansion, I thought something was strange. When he came with the old lady, he only had one bundle, right? It was small and light. But when we came back from Changjin Mansion, I found that he had turned one bundle into two big bundles. When I asked him about it, he said that since he rarely came out, he bought things that looked nice and interesting. I thought that made sense, since I had already bought a whole box of things myself.”
Shu Yu's lips twitched, and she was speechless as she thought of the large box of food in Ying Xi's chest.
She truly embodies the essence of a foodie.
"Since you thought there was no problem before, why do you think there is a problem now? Have you seen what's in his bag?"
