Chapter 2124 He came back last night
The next morning, just as dawn broke, Meng Yunzheng told Shu Yu and left with the letter.
Zhao Xi's family thought he hadn't come home last night. He, with a mischievous air, said to Shu Yu, "Look, the moment you're not around, he starts staying out all night. We just happened to catch him yesterday. Tell me, how many nights has he stayed out while you were gone?"
Xia Yan's eyes widened. "You can't just try to sow discord like that. Aren't you and the young master old friends?"
He was about to open his mouth to explain when he heard Shu Yu say, "He came back last night, and we talked for a while."
Zhao Xi, “…”
He didn't believe it. "He came back last night?"
"You must be sleeping too soundly to hear. Why don't you ask Ying Xi?"
Zhao Xi looked at the girl on the other side, and Ying Xi nodded, "Yes, I heard the noise. Not only last night, but also this morning when I went out, I spoke with the young lady for a while."
Yingxi lived in the same room as Shuyu. As Shuyu's maid and bodyguard, she naturally heard the commotion Shuyu made when she went out and came in.
Zhao Xi felt stifled and let out two cold snorts.
Shu Yu ignored him. After finishing her meal and playing with Xiao Huo Huo for a while, she said to Song Le, "Your cousin has something to do and will be back late. Let's go shopping first, and then we'll go see your great-aunt together."
Xiao Song nodded repeatedly, "Okay."
He had finished eating and then ran back to his room. After rummaging through his bundle for a while, he came running out again.
Shu Yu noticed that his bag was bulging, clearly indicating that he had carried quite a lot of things.
She greeted Shu You and then left with Xiao Song Le.
Have you decided what to buy?
Xiao Song said, "I want to buy clothes for my great-aunt." He saw yesterday that the clothes his great-aunt was wearing were not very thick.
It's still quite cold in Beijing at this time of year, but Aunt Hong's padded jacket is rather thin.
Seeing that he had made up his mind, Shu Yu took him to the clothing shop.
However, most of the clothes in the clothing store are quite bright and suitable for young girls. If such clothes were bought, Aunt Hong probably wouldn't be able to wear them.
The two looked around for a long time before finally choosing a cotton-padded jacket that suited Aunt Hong.
The clothes are a bit big, but that's okay. It's always better to buy clothes a little bigger than small.
The material of this jacket is quite nice; it feels comfortable to the touch. However, it's a bit pricey, costing three taels of silver.
This price is manageable for Shu Yu, but it's shocking for ordinary people.
Little Song Le looked down and rummaged through her cloth bag, her little face beaming. She took out a purse, stood on tiptoe, and placed it on the counter. "Here, I have one."
The shopkeeper glanced at Shu Yu, and seeing that the latter didn't say anything, he smiled and said, "Alright, young master, please wait a moment, I'll pack it up for you right away."
The shopkeeper folded the clothes, put them in a bundle, and handed them to Xiao Song Le.
The cotton-padded coat was a bit heavy, so Yingxi took it from him.
After leaving the clothing store, Shu Yu asked Xiao Songle if he wanted to buy anything else, but he shook his head.
Shu Yu then went and bought a few feet of cloth and some snacks, and then led Xiao Song Le back to the small courtyard in the south of the city.
They thought Meng Yunzheng should be back by now, but after waiting at home for half an hour, he still hadn't returned.
It seems that after submitting that letter, he will be unable to get away for the time being.
