Chapter 656 Clearing Shu Yu's Name
Qi Chan was quite surprised, "I didn't expect there to be such a tortuous experience in between."
He looked at Lord Cheng, who seemed to be deep in thought, but after a long while shook his head, "So, she is the adopted daughter of the Shu family."
The implication is that although she is not related to the Shu family by blood, she has lived in the Shu family for many years. Therefore, she cannot escape her connection to the Shu family; when the Shu family was convicted and exiled, Shu Yu could not avoid it.
Moreover, the officials who handled the Shu family case must have thoroughly investigated this relationship.
However, it is precisely because of this relationship that there is still room for maneuver in the future.
He looked at the girl in front of him. She seemed to be in good spirits and even had the ability to hunt tigers in the deep mountains. Who knew what good things she might do in the future? She still had a promising future.
"However, since your family has already come looking for you, your household registration can be changed."
Changing her name and such to separate her from the Shu family is something the governor can manage.
He gave instructions to the guard behind him, who agreed, and the matter was settled.
Shu Yu's eyes lit up, and she quickly thanked him.
Lord Cheng laughed heartily, "No need for thanks. I've come at just the right time, just in time to see you hunt the tiger. Come, tell me, how did you do it?"
"Yes." Shu Yu replied confidently. Compared to Ma Lu and the others who were still a little nervous and apprehensive, she answered Cheng Daren's questions fluently.
Moreover, when she was at home, she would occasionally tell stories to her younger siblings. When she talked about the tiger-hunting process, she could do it with ease, making it vivid, thrilling and exciting, which immediately aroused the governor's curiosity.
The others listened with great interest, and even Ma Lu and a few others who had personally experienced it began to doubt whether they were really as... brave as Shu Yu described.
There were still quite a few people in the village at this time; everyone had come out to watch the excitement.
The villagers who had originally come along were all gathered outside, prevented from entering. Although they were a bit far away and couldn't hear clearly, Shu Yu's voice was clear and crisp, and they vaguely heard some of it, feeling both surprised and envious.
The people from the fifth team and the Shu brothers were also at the entrance of the manor. Shu Feng watched as Aunt Hou and the Sixth Miss entered the manor and stood right in the middle of the main hall.
He frowned, a strange feeling creeping into his heart.
But then he thought about how he and Shu Yu were close, and maybe Shu Yu had let him in, so he didn't find it strange anymore.
The tricky part now is that Shu Yu actually went into the mountains and killed a big tiger. Even if she didn't kill it herself, she was still involved. And she was so lucky to run into Lord Cheng when he arrived.
This woman is cunning and scheming, and she's even vying to impress Lord Cheng. If she catches Lord Cheng's eye, the officials on the estate will definitely take good care of her, and it won't be easy for them to cause her trouble in the future.
Shu Feng and Shu Quan stood outside the crowd with furrowed brows, while Shu Yu inside had already finished recounting what had happened after entering the mountains.
Lord Cheng listened with great interest, thinking that this girl was truly an extraordinary person. She could fight tigers in the mountains and tell stories so vividly that people could feel as if they were there. No wonder she was the one who saved Mr. Qi.
Cheng Daren clapped his hands and laughed heartily, "Good, you're all very good, well done."
His gaze swept over Ma Lu and the others, and he asked, "The rules of this hunt are that there is a reward for catching prey such as large insects and bears, in order to encourage everyone to be proactive."
