Chapter 298 Meng Yunzheng and the other two are not here
The black market is located outside Jiangyuan County, but the exact location is unknown; it is likely someone's estate.
The market will reopen in three days.
The jade token is indeed a token. Once you arrive at the black market, show the token, and someone will naturally lead you to the manor. That place is easily dangerous without someone guiding you; it's clearly filled with some kind of trap or secret passage.
Knowing these points, Shu Yu was confident. Three days later, she would wait outside the city and follow those who might go to the black market, such as... Ding Wenxi, the eldest son of the Ding family.
Just as Shu Yu was thinking of Ding Wenxi, the young master Ding sent someone to deliver a message.
Xiaoyun came in and said, "Young Master Lu assured Master Lu that Young Master Zhang and the others would not dare to cause trouble for Master Lu."
Shu Yu smiled and said, "It seems that the young master has taken care of this matter for me, so I can rest assured."
Inwardly, however, she was relieved that she had acted quickly enough to find out about the black market. Otherwise, if she had been even a step slower, she wouldn't have been able to use this situation to feign helplessness and extract information from Ding Yuehua.
After the clothes were delivered and all the necessary questions were asked, Shu Yu got up to take her leave.
After leaving the Ding family's residence, she went straight back to Liufang Lane.
As Shu Yu passed by the Meng family's gate, she paused and turned to look at the gate.
The courtyard gate was locked. Ever since she said that Master Dongqing might go to the southwest, Meng Yunzheng and Zhao Xi left the next day, and the courtyard gate has remained closed ever since.
Shu Yu thought that they must have gone to find Master Dongqing, right? She also hoped that Meng Yunzheng could find the person soon. She had many questions in her mind and wanted to ask her master.
But... after all, they knew each other, and they left without even saying goodbye.
Shu Yu felt a little uncomfortable, snorted to herself, and then walked towards home.
The moment I lifted my foot, the gate to the neighboring house opened.
A woman looked up and greeted Shu Yu, "Oh, it's Miss Lu. Are you looking for young Master Meng?"
"Oh, no, I just happened to be passing by and saw that their gate was locked, so I was curious where they went."
The woman laughed and said, "Before leaving, Meng asked us to watch his house. It seems he found out about a very skilled doctor and went to see a doctor with Zhao. He'll probably be back in a few days. Didn't your grandma tell you? I just told her yesterday."
The old lady had visited the Meng family several times, so the neighbors were naturally curious about her relationship with the Meng family.
The old lady didn't hide anything, only saying that before Zhao Xi became mentally impaired, he had saved her son and granddaughter's lives. Now that they live nearby, she comes over to help the two young men with any inconveniences they have.
Meng Yunzheng and Zhao Xi were both mentally challenged and mute, a fact known to everyone in Liufang Lane. However, due to their good looks, most people felt pity and sympathy for their plight.
Moreover, Meng Yunzheng has an exceptionally gentle smile, and seems to have a good temper, so the neighbors in Liufang Lane help them whenever they can.
The old lady's behavior was not unusual; after all, the other party was their family's savior, and it was normal for the two families to have dealings.
As for Shu Yu, he entered and left the Meng family's house several times in a very secretive manner, and was not seen by anyone, so the neighbors in Liufang Lane did not think much of it.
Shu Yu was somewhat surprised after hearing the woman's words. She thought that Meng Yunzheng and the others had left Jiangyuan County for the southwest and would not come back. She didn't expect them to ask the neighbor to help watch over the yard. Did they plan to come back?
