Chapter 757 Reunion with Lady Hou
When the mule cart stopped in the courtyard of the post station, Shu Yu dismissed the post station clerk who had led her in, and then said to Cheng Dong, "Guard Cheng, wait in the cart for a while. I'll go in and find Madam Hou and get a veiled hat. Don't worry, I won't let her know who you are."
"good."
Seeing that Cheng Dong agreed, Shu Yu quickly got off the mule cart and ran to the front yard to find Hou Shi.
When Hou saw her, she was stunned for a moment. Just as she was about to greet her with joy, Shu Yu pulled her aside and said a few words.
Hou immediately realized what was happening and nodded, saying, "Wait for me a moment."
Not long after, Lady Hou came out carrying a veiled hat and a set of drab clothes.
Shu Yu took the veil and walked back to where the mule cart was parked, but when she lifted the curtain, there was no one inside.
Shu Yu was not surprised at all. Cheng Dong was a cautious person, so how could he obediently wait outside?
But after she lowered the carriage curtain, she still looked around anxiously, "Where is he? Why is he gone? Could it be that he encountered assassins again?"
"Miss Lu, I'm here?" A figure silently appeared from behind the corner of the wall not far away.
Shu Yu was overjoyed and quickly ran forward, "It's good that you're alright. Here, put your veil on first."
Then she handed him the dusty gray clothes, saying, "Guard Cheng, your clothes are stained with blood. If you don't run into anyone else on the road, it'll be fine, but if you do, it will definitely cause panic. Although these clothes don't fit, you can wear them to cover the bloodstains. Please bear with it."
Thank you.
"Let's go." After putting on his clothes, Shu Yu led him through a maze of turns to a secluded house furthest from the front yard.
Hou was already standing at the door waiting for them. When she saw Shu Yu come over, she glanced at Cheng Dong and said, "Come in first. I cleaned this area. Usually, not many people come here. No one lives in this house for the time being, so you can rest assured. It's very safe."
Shu Yu smiled and said, "Thank you." Then she helped Cheng Dong into the house.
She could clearly sense that Cheng Dong was starting to feel the strain, which was good; it hadn't been a waste that she had deliberately taken him a little further.
After letting Cheng Dong lean against the headboard, Shu Yu turned to Hou Shi and said, "Bring me a basin of hot water, warm water to drink, and a clean towel."
"OK."
After Hou left, Shu Yu closed the door and asked with concern, "Guard Cheng, how are you? Are you sure you don't need to call a doctor?"
"Need not."
Shu Yu had no choice but to give up. "Then, what should we do next? Should we inform Lord Cheng?"
Cheng Dong was actually very impatient, but he knew that if he didn't answer, the person in front of him might 'do more harm than good', and she was still useful to him.
"Don't do anything. Lord Cheng is safe for now. Besides, he's being watched, so we can't contact him anyway. Instead of doing that, let's go somewhere else to get help. I need to rest now. I'll tell you what to do when I wake up."
Shu Yu nodded repeatedly, "Okay, I'll hear it as 'guard'."
Cheng Dong leaned against the wall, drowsy, as if he had fainted.
Hou entered carrying some things. Upon seeing that Cheng Dong seemed motionless, she immediately lowered her voice and asked, "Ayu, who is this? What's wrong with him?"
"He's my brother's friend. Don't worry, he's not a bad person, he just ran into some bad guys. He'll leave once his injuries heal a bit."
