Chapter 655 My Lord, Actually My Surname is Lu
A tiger and an antelope—it was a huge harvest for them.
Seeing the satisfied look in the official's eyes, Ma Lu couldn't help but grin.
The officials were naturally very satisfied, extremely satisfied, not only because they had killed the tiger, but also because the governor was present today.
He was just rushing out to look for Shu Yu, but now he's as if he's been overwhelmed by a pleasant surprise.
Shu Yu reminded him, "Officer, let's get the tiger and the antelope to the estate first."
The official suddenly came to his senses and nodded hurriedly, "Yes, yes, send it over first." The officials were still waiting there.
He happily led the way, but Shu Yu noticed a subtle change in his expression.
Sure enough, as soon as the group arrived at the gate of the manor, they saw Lord Cheng and Qi Chan, who had come out after hearing the news.
The official hurriedly said, "This is the governor. He is here today to inspect the area and happens to be resting at the estate. Please greet him."
Everyone present, including Ma Lu and the onlookers, was stunned upon hearing this.
Shu Yu was the first to speak, "Greetings, Your Excellency the Governor."
The others snapped out of their daze, immediately put down the tiger and other items, and hurriedly bowed.
Lord Cheng told everyone to stand up, and then looked at the tiger that was placed on the ground.
Although he had seen a lot of the world, this was the first time he had ever seen such a...fresh tiger.
What surprised him even more was that, apart from the two arrow holes in its body, the tiger only had injuries to its head and eyes, and looked completely intact.
Such a complete tiger skin is a rare find.
Cheng Daren's eyes lit up, showing some surprise.
While they were looking at the tiger, the officer walked up to the excited Ma Lu and his companions and whispered, "You're lucky. If it had been just a quarter of an hour later, Lord Cheng might have already left."
Ma Lu was taken aback. His mind worked quickly, and he suddenly remembered that Shu Yu had mentioned twice that they should not delay returning home as soon as possible.
Thinking about it, his gaze involuntarily fell on Shu Yu. However, the next moment, he saw that the gentleman who looked very important following behind Lord Cheng had already walked up to Shu Yu with a smile.
"Miss Shuyu, it's been a long time. Do you still remember me?"
Shu Yu immediately smiled; she was afraid he wouldn't remember her.
"Of course I remember, Mr. Qi." She said with a smile, turning her head to glance at the governor. "I never imagined that Mr. Qi would be working for you now."
"I never expected that such a young and frail girl would be able to hunt such a big tiger. I am truly impressed."
Shu Yu waved his hand modestly, "Sir, you flatter me. There were six or seven of us, and everyone contributed. It wasn't just my achievement."
Qi Chan said, "Is that so? I have seen the game hunted by your Ninth Team. For just the two of you girls to be able to hunt such a large game is quite remarkable."
As the two were talking, Lord Cheng, who had seen enough, came over.
When the group returned to the main hall of the manor, she looked at Shu Yu and asked, "Are you the Miss Shu that the master mentioned?"
Shu Yu greeted Lord Cheng again, then shook his head and said, "My lord, my surname is actually Lu now."
Lord Cheng was taken aback and looked at Qi Chan, who also looked puzzled.
The official standing behind him slapped his forehead. Oh no, he'd forgotten to mention Miss Lu's background to the magistrate.
He quickly stepped forward and recounted the events surrounding Shu Yu and the Shu family.
