Chapter 787 The Note in the Pocket
As Meng Yunzheng saw that they had reached the alley, he slowed down and said, "I should be asking you what's wrong. What have you been thinking about the whole way?"
Shu Yu frowned, thought for a moment, and then said, "There's something strange."
"What's up?"
"When my master found Wang Changdong, he specifically inquired whether the governor had gone to Zhengdao Village and whether he had met with me."
The abbot of Dongqing Temple actually asked such a question, and he couldn't help but ponder, "So you suspect..."
“Hmm, I suspect that the governor’s trip to Zhengdao Village might be my master’s doing.” She wasn’t just making things up. “Think about it, in the note my master left me, she clearly said that she would come to the southwest ahead of me to help me make arrangements. I’ve never understood what she was going to arrange for me. I’ve been here for several months now, and she hasn’t shown up.”
Now, upon hearing that she had sought confirmation from Wang Changdong regarding the governor's situation, Shu Yu immediately thought of her.
Moreover, I've never heard of the governor suddenly coming to the place of exile for inspection before.
Meng Yunzheng had no doubt that the abbot of Dongqing Temple had such methods. "In fact, the abbot may have even lured the governor here by claiming that the magistrate of Heichang County was corrupt and lawless."
Shu Yu looked up and met his gaze.
If that's the case, then her master must have come to the southwest in advance to make arrangements for her.
Even without Qi Chan, the abbot of Dongqing Temple was still looking for an opportunity for her to meet important figures.
Now that he knows she's doing well, and even the steward of the estate values her highly, he feels relieved... and left?
"Forget it, there's no use thinking about it now. We'll meet again eventually."
However, when it comes to notes, Shu Yu thinks of the purse that the abbess of Dongqing Temple gave her. She takes it out and says, "She gave me this purse, and there's another little note inside."
When she couldn't find the abbot of Dongqing Temple, she wondered if there were any clues in the purse, so she opened it to check.
The problem is, she can't understand a single thing written inside!
She handed him the note, "Could you help me see what my master meant?"
She pulled it out and was just about to unfold it when Sanya's voice came from in front of her, "Second Sister."
Meng Yunzheng pressed her hand down, "Let's wait until we get back to see. Everyone is waiting for you to have New Year's Eve dinner."
Moreover, it was dark outside, so it was hard to see clearly.
Shu Yu put the purse away, and when he saw San Ya running over, he picked her up and the group strode towards home.
Zhao Xi had already cleared out the tables and chairs. Seeing them enter, he waved and said, "Hurry up and eat, we've been waiting for you."
He seemed to have a great sense of being a host, and he was very attentive in his work.
Shu Yu couldn't help but turn to look at Meng Yunzheng, "Has he... finally figured it out?"
Meng Yunzheng smiled but remained silent.
The New Year's Eve dinner was very lively. Whether in her past life or this life, this was the most complete and heartwarming New Year's Eve dinner that Shu Yu had ever had.
She was so happy that she couldn't help but drink two glasses of wine, and her face became extremely hot.
While the Lu family was reminiscing about the past and looking forward to the future, he quickly got up and went to the yard to sober up.
Meng Yunzheng came over at some point and draped a cloak over her shoulders, saying, "Don't catch a cold."
"No, I'm happy." Shu Yu glanced at him, then couldn't help but think of the purse. She took it out again. "Take a look, what does this mean?"
