Chapter 760 Shu Yu is Gone
Leaving the place of exile and regaining his status as a free citizen are the most crucial things for Lu Shuyu right now.
Cheng Dong thought Lu Shuyu was a smart person and would definitely not want to miss this opportunity.
Sure enough, Shu Yu took a deep breath, nervously took the letter, and asked uncertainly, "If I can deliver this letter to He Tai Mansion, can I leave here?"
"certainly."
Shu Yu seemed to have made a great decision, and nodded, "Okay, I'll take it."
"And another thing," Cheng Dong continued, "I know you know the Huifeng Escort Agency. When you get back, find out if any of their escorts are planning to leave the city recently. I'll sneak myself into their cargo and leave Linzhang Prefecture. Miss Lu, you're a smart woman, I think you can do it."
"Where are you going after leaving Linzhang Prefecture?"
"You don't need to know that. Lord Cheng has given me a secret mission, so you don't need to ask any further questions."
Shu Yu snorted inwardly, "Goodness, you still know to leave the city separately."
In this way, either the person goes out or the letter goes out, so it can always deliver the message to the right person, right?
But after hesitating for a moment, she agreed, saying, "This is a bit difficult; I need to plan it out carefully."
He then confirmed it again, "If I do that, I'm sure I can leave Zhengdao Village, right?"
"Yes." Cheng Dong nodded affirmatively. It was indeed possible to leave, but it was unknown whether they would leave as a living person or a dead person.
No matter who from the Lu family delivers the letter, once it arrives at the He Tai Mansion and is handed over, the Lu family cannot keep it.
Having received his assurance, Shu Yu carefully put the letter away, her eyes shining with anticipation.
"Shall we go now? Are you sure your injuries are alright?"
"Go now, the sooner the better." After explaining the details of delivering the message, Cheng Dong urged Shu Yu to leave.
Shu Yu had no objection. "Okay, I'll leave right away. You get some rest. If you need anything, just ask Hou Shi."
Thank you.
Shu Yu left, went to the backyard, and led the mule cart out the door.
After Cheng Dong regained some strength, he quietly followed behind her, watching her say goodbye to Madam Hou and then leave.
As the mule cart drove further and further away, Cheng Dong returned to the house.
He didn't go inside, but instead found a corner in the woodshed next door and sat down, his eyes fixed on the outside through the window.
Before long, Madam Hou came over carrying a tray.
Then she knocked on the room where Cheng Dong used to live, but there was no response. Hou knocked for a long time before whispering, "Young Master? Young Master, are you there? Before A Yu left, she asked me to prepare some food for you, and I brought it over. Young Master? Why is there no sound? Did you faint?"
Hou knocked on the door twice more nervously, then pushed it open with concern.
There was no one inside. Hou placed the tray on the table and searched the area around the house.
After not seeing anyone, a look of panic crossed her face. She stood at the door, looking around anxiously. "How could he just disappear? How am I going to explain this to Ayu?"
Then he ran out to look for his daughter and began a secret search.
After Hou left, Cheng Dong came out of the woodshed.
He walked back to his room, looked at the bowl of noodles on the table, sniffed it, and tested it for poison before sitting down with peace of mind. He then cautiously and quietly began to eat the noodles with his chopsticks.
