Chapter 808: Good News for You
Many villagers had already arrived outside the manor. The governor was personally led by the county magistrate, and this time the procession was much larger than the last one.
As soon as the team entered the village, the villagers near the village entrance ran in and spread the word.
Although they dared not enter the village or speak up, they could still peer outside to observe the situation.
Therefore, when Shu Yu brought the old lady with Wang Changdong, they couldn't squeeze in.
Wang Changdong was a little annoyed. "What are you all doing standing here? Make way."
When the villagers turned around and saw it was him, they quickly stepped aside to let him in.
When they arrived at the gate of the manor, the old lady said to Shuyu, "I'll wait outside, you can go in."
Inside was, after all, the governor, and judging from Wang Changdong's words, there were two unfamiliar men who also looked like high-ranking officials. Shu Yu thought that they must be people from the capital.
If there are no unforeseen circumstances, there should also be an imperial edict.
Such a scene is far too solemn and important; it would be bad if it startled the old lady.
Seeing that Aunt Zhang was also standing at the door, she asked her to help watch over the old lady.
Although the Zhang family intended to arrange a marriage between Shu Yu and her family, the old lady politely declined at the time. The matter didn't spread; Aunt Zhang was merely testing the waters and didn't necessarily expect it to succeed.
Even if they can't get married, the Lu family is still a family that's easy to get along with.
Therefore, the two families still maintained contact, but Da Hu stopped going to the Zhang family to teach Zhang Ping'an to read, and Zhang Ping'an stopped visiting the Lu family.
Upon hearing Shu Yu's words, Aunt Zhang immediately nodded, "Okay, you go in first. I'll stand with your grandma, so no one will crowd her."
She was unaware that the adults had come to see Shu Yu; she simply assumed that as the steward of the estate, Shu Yu was the subject of their routine questioning.
Shu Yu patted the slightly uneasy old lady's hand reassuringly, and then went inside with Wang Changdong.
Several people were chatting in the main room. To Shu Yu's surprise, Qi Chan was sitting in the very center, seemingly surrounded by admirers.
Logically speaking, Qi Chan is still an exiled prisoner here, and he shouldn't be treated like this.
unless……
Shu Yu narrowed his eyes, and in the blink of an eye, he was standing at the entrance of the main room.
Qi Chan, who was sitting in the middle, was the first to see her and immediately smiled, "Look, she's here."
Everyone else present turned to look at her. Both Lord Cheng and the county magistrate had seen her before, and the other two unfamiliar men present then began to sized her up.
Qi Chan laughed heartily, “Miss Lu, don’t be nervous. These two are Minister Qian, the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, and Minister Shi, the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Rites. They have come to bring you good news.”
Wow, one from the Ministry of Rites and one from the Ministry of Personnel?
Last time, it was only Lord Wan from the Ministry of Personnel who came to pick up Yao Tianqin.
Is this portion really that heavy?
Shu Yu didn't presume to think that the two of them had come for her sake; she guessed that their high regard for him was for Mr. Qi's sake.
Shu Yu stepped forward to greet him, and the official Shi nodded and smiled, "You must be Lu Shu Yu, the girl who presented the heated pack? You look so young, but you're surprisingly clever. You can't judge a book by its cover."
They already knew about Shu Yu's background.
Knowing this, Lord Shi was somewhat surprised when he saw the girl in front of him who remained calm and composed even when facing several important court officials.
