Chapter 807 News Has Arrived from the Capital
After Wang Changdong and Shu Yu left, the other girls by the river couldn't help but look at each other in bewilderment.
What did they just hear? The governor and the county magistrate have both arrived, and they're both looking for Miss Lu?
"Could it be that Miss Lu has caused some trouble, and the two officials have come to question her?"
Suddenly someone said something, and everyone turned to look at Qingqing.
If Miss Lu is truly being held accountable, the Lu family will certainly not escape punishment. In that case, would she still be willing to marry into the Lu family?
Qingqing's expression changed as she was being stared at. She gritted her teeth and said, "It's best not to make wild guesses. It might not be that Miss Lu caused trouble. Maybe she did something good. Didn't she kill a tiger last time and get a reward from the governor, becoming the manager of the estate?"
"You really dare to dream. Last time was just a coincidence. Besides, she didn't kill the tiger all by herself. She just benefited from Ma Lu and the others. Moreover, what great deed did she have to do to make two officials come to see her at the same time? Those are governors, you know. They are very busy with their affairs every day. Would they really condescend to come to the village to see a prisoner?"
Xiao Qiao started to make sarcastic remarks, with a hint of watching someone make a fool of themselves.
Qingqing's face paled. She took a deep breath and said, "What's the point of guessing here? Why don't we go and see for ourselves?"
The others nodded in agreement, "Yes, yes, let's go see what's going on."
Even if it weren't for Lu Shuyu, they still wanted to meet the governor and the county magistrate.
Several girls picked up their basins of clothes and hurriedly followed behind, walking very fast, afraid of falling too far behind and missing out on the excitement.
Shu Yu was unaware of the gossipy crowd behind her. When she was halfway there with Wang Changdong, she saw the old lady also coming over.
"Grandma." She paused, and waited until the old lady was in front of her before saying, "Please walk slowly, there's no rush, the road here is uneven."
Wang Changdong, who was standing to the side, was getting anxious. So many important people were waiting in the village, how could he be slow?
The old lady grabbed Shu Yu's hand excitedly and whispered, "Is it...is there news from the capital?"
Shu Yu smiled and said, "It should be."
Moreover, most of the news was good news; otherwise, Qi Chan would have definitely sent someone to inform her beforehand.
The old lady's eyes lit up, she took a deep breath, and reached out to tidy her hair and clothes.
Wang Changdong looked at them suspiciously. The old lady just said... news from the capital? What does that mean?
"Miss Lu, do you know why the governor and his entourage came to see you?"
He didn't know the details, but he knew that the governor and his entourage were very happy when they came, which must mean something good had happened, hence their eagerness to come and find her.
But do the Lu family members themselves know this?
Shu Yu smiled and looked at Wang Changdong, "Brother Wang, you've stumped me. How would I know what the governor is here for? I'm just guessing because you seem so happy."
Wang Changdong gave her an annoyed look. Who are you trying to fool? Guessing? Who would guess it's going to be in the capital?
However, it's not surprising that she didn't say anything; she would eventually have to see the adults to find out the details.
"Let's hurry up and go, so as not to keep the adults waiting."
Shu Yu nodded, took the old lady's hand, restrained his expression, and walked steadily toward the estate.
