Chapter 665 I can go to the county town more often now
The Shu family's alternating crying and laughing angered the neighbors.
The atmosphere at the Lu family home was harmonious and warm.
When the old lady saw that Shu Yu had finally returned, she breathed a long sigh of relief. She had watched Shu Yu and the others go down the mountain, but she had been waiting and waiting for a long time and hadn't seen them, so she had started to worry.
Fortunately, Meng Yunzheng and Zhao Xi also came down the mountain and told her about the governor's visit. They figured things wouldn't be over so quickly, which put the old lady at ease.
The family had already prepared the meal and sat down together, then began to ask about what had happened in the village.
Hearing that Shu Yu had become the manager of the estate, the old lady was overjoyed. "So, you don't have to work so hard anymore? Oh my, thank God, thank God!"
Fortunately, she agreed to let Shu Yu go into the mountains to hunt tigers, otherwise, how could such a good thing have come about?
Shu Yu laughed, "That's not all. Before I left, the constable told me that if the estate needs to go to the county town to make purchases, he would let me go with them. Then I'll be able to see my parents more often."
The old lady was even happier, "Good, good, you won't have to work so hard anymore, and there's no danger."
Hou, standing to the side, was also somewhat excited. "Then, will you be able to leave the county town and come to the post station to see us in the future?"
"It should be possible."
Hou and the sixth daughter exchanged a glance. They thought it would be difficult to meet again in the future, and they didn't know when they would meet again after this separation. Unexpectedly, there was such a pleasant surprise.
After dinner, Meng Yunzheng called Shu Yu to the courtyard to talk, "I can't go to the county town with you tomorrow."
Shu Yu was puzzled. "What's wrong? What happened?"
Meng Yunzheng's expression turned slightly serious. "I saw an acquaintance among the guards around the governor earlier. There are some things I need to investigate, so I may have to leave for a few days."
He paused, then added, "Zhao Xi is coming with me."
During the day, he followed Shu Yu and the others down the mountain. After returning to the Lu family's residence, he mingled with the crowd and went to the manor to watch the excitement.
Lord Cheng doesn't have many guards; at least, there are only six on the surface.
Meng Yunzheng recognized him after just one glance, and then quietly withdrew from the crowd and went straight back to the Lu family home.
Upon hearing this, Shu Yu immediately frowned and asked, "Is it very dangerous?"
Meng Yunzheng laughed, "It's just investigating some things, not risking my life. There's not much danger, don't worry. I told you before, I won't let myself get too deeply involved in those complicated struggles."
His words reassured Shu Yu somewhat.
"If you need any help, just tell me. Although I'm currently unable to go to many places due to my physical limitations, I can still think for myself."
"I understand." Meng Yunzheng couldn't resist and reached out to ruffle her clever head. "I'll tell you everything."
Before he could finish speaking, a soft cough suddenly came from beside him.
Shu Yu and Meng Yunzheng exchanged a glance and whispered, "It's my grandma."
Meng Yunzheng chuckled, "Alright, go and rest."
The two walked out from around the corner and indeed saw the old lady standing in the yard, looking up at the sky, seemingly looking at something, even though it was pitch black.
Shu Yu gave Meng Yunzheng a push, telling him to go back to his room, and then went to the old lady's side.
