Chapter 772 What a joyous day it is today!
Shu Yu's expression turned a little strange. She hesitated and said, "I would like to remember them, but there are so many names of those medicinal herbs, and they are scattered. I can't remember them all."
Medicine, name of the medicinal material?
Qi Chan frowned, unfolded the letter with suspicion, and then his eyes felt a little dizzy.
He looked into the envelope again, and seeing that there were no other papers inside, he asked uncertainly, "Is this all Cheng Dong gave you?"
Shu Yu nodded. "I don't know why he asked me to send a list of medicinal herbs to the people in He Tai Prefecture. When I saw this, I found him even more suspicious, so I tied him up and brought him into the city."
Qi Chan seemed to be deep in thought. It seemed that this thing had a hidden code.
That's fine too. Miss Lu doesn't understand, so it won't do her any harm.
"I understand. I will read this letter carefully. As for Cheng Dong, don't tell anyone when you get back. Just pretend you never met him, and you didn't bring him here, understand?"
Shu Yu nodded; this was exactly what she had told Hou Shi.
Qi Chan put the letter away. "Alright, leave the rest to me. You can go back now."
"I must take my leave now, sir."
After Shu Yu left, Qi Chan looked at the jar on the table that had started smoking again.
It seems that even in Linzhang Prefecture, things are not peaceful.
Cheng Dong is a man of Gong Qiu, the Vice Minister of Works. What exactly does Gong Qiu want? Why would he send someone to infiltrate Cheng Dong's inner circle? Isn't he overstepping his bounds?
Qi Chan rubbed his temples. He needed to send a letter to the capital and have someone keep an eye on Gongqiu.
After handing over both items, Shu Yu felt relieved and prepared to go home, leading the mule cart.
When we get back, we need to wash the mule cart thoroughly; there's still bloodstains under the seats, it looks really bad.
When she arrived at her doorstep, she saw Da Hu and San Ya sitting in a stroller, leading several other children in the alley as they ran around.
Upon seeing Shu Yu, San Ya immediately told the child pushing her stroller to stop, got out of the stroller herself, and rushed over without even caring that the other children were scrambling to get in. "Second Sister, you're back?"
Da Hu ran up to her, "Second Sister, why did you take so long? We've been waiting for ages."
"Yes, Grandma said if you don't come back soon, she'll go look for you outside the city."
"Fortunately, Brother Meng said that he saw you go to the county government office and that you were probably talking to Mr. Qi, so we were relieved."
"Brother Meng ordered a lot of food from the restaurant, saying that today is a joyous occasion and we should eat a sumptuous meal."
The little girl tilted her head as she spoke, "But what a joyous occasion it is today?"
She racked her brains but couldn't figure it out, and Brother Meng wouldn't tell her. Her little head was about to explode.
Shu Yu listened to her younger siblings chatting away, feeling warm inside. She smiled and said, "As long as our family is reunited, it's a joyous occasion, so of course we should eat a big feast."
Sanya thought it made sense, "Then let's go back and eat quickly."
Several children called out to them, "Sanya, Dahu, we want to play with the cars again."
Da Hu said with a serious expression, "Not today, let's do it tomorrow. We can come back to play tomorrow morning. We all have to go home for dinner today."
The children were unwilling to give up and wanted to persuade her again, but Sanya had already run over, pushed the cart, and gone home.
Because Shu Yu was there leading the mule cart, the children didn't dare to act recklessly. Seeing that there were no more carts available, they could only scatter in all directions.
