Chapter 810 Shu Yucheng became a village head
Shu Yu suddenly raised her head, knowing that she would be released without charge and returned to her hometown, which was within her expectations.
But what she didn't expect was that the emperor would later bestow upon her the title of Lady of the Township for her meritorious service in presenting the hot pack.
Lord Xiang!
She actually has a title?
Shu Yu blinked, her mind blank for a moment. Was the heating pack really that effective?
After Lord Shi finished reading the decree, he saw her standing there in a daze and assumed that she was too surprised to react. He smiled and reminded her, "Lord Lu, aren't you going to accept the decree?"
Shu Yu suddenly came to her senses and quickly kowtowed to express her gratitude, "Lu Shu Yu kowtows to Your Majesty, long live the Emperor!"
She carefully accepted the imperial edict, and then looked at it a few more times as if she wasn't sure.
Meanwhile, the villagers outside the village who had listened to the whole story were all staring in shock.
What did they all hear? Not only was Steward Lu released without charge, but he was also granted the title of Lady of the Township?!
The old lady's breathing became rapid with excitement, and she tightly gripped Aunt Zhang's arm beside her.
The latter looked completely bewildered, not caring even though his arm was being gripped painfully.
She stared blankly at the figure that had suddenly grown inexplicably tall in the manor, and the only thought that flashed through her mind was that it was fortunate that the marriage between his family and the Lu family had not gone through.
Otherwise, given the current situation, her son would definitely become the target of public criticism, and the marriage would not be able to proceed.
How could she have imagined that the person who had just been exiled here not only returned to his hometown, but also became the enviable village head?
The people of Zhengdao Village were all talking about it, but Aunt Xue seemed to have been hit on the head with a stick, and she fell to the ground, drenched in sweat.
How could this be? How could this happen??
This shouldn't be happening. How could that lowly maid, whom she bought only to compete for favor, be innocent and even become a village lady?
The people around Aunt Xue had gradually stood up, but she was still sitting on the ground, her legs too weak to move.
Her injured hand began to ache again, and she screamed in pain.
"ah……"
The sound was so sharp and piercing that Lord Cheng and the others who were about to speak in the main room all turned their heads to look outside.
"What's going on?" The county magistrate stepped forward first, frowning as he asked.
At this critical juncture, nothing can go wrong, otherwise the county magistrate will be held accountable.
Wang Changdong jolted back to his senses, no longer caring about the contents of the imperial edict, and hurriedly ran to the door to look at it.
Upon seeing that it was Aunt Xue, his expression changed, and he said to the guards by the door, "Cover her mouth, don't let her disturb the officials, take her away and keep an eye on her."
He knew very well that this person was the Shu family concubine who had bought Miss Lu back then.
She didn't even go to work today, and instead came here and caused such a commotion.
What is she trying to do? Is she trying to ruin Miss Lu's good time?
With him around, it's impossible!!
Before Aunt Xue could say anything, Aunt Fang, who was standing by the door, stepped forward first, covered her mouth without saying a word, and then followed the two constables to take her away.
Wang Changdong let out a breath, and a smile returned to his face.
He then said to the magistrate, "Your Honor, there was a prisoner who had injured her hand and hadn't fully recovered. She came over to see what was going on, but there were so many people that she accidentally bumped into something and was in so much pain that she screamed. I've already had someone take her home to rest."
