Chapter 811 The reward is also five thousand taels.
Shu Yu overheard this and realized her hand was injured?
That must be Aunt Xue. She felt that voice sounded very familiar, and now it really was her.
I'm afraid it wasn't the pain in her hand that was unbearable, but rather the shock of hearing that she was about to have a good life that made her unable to bear it.
Since the person had been taken away, she didn't bother with it anymore.
After confirming that the imperial edict was genuine, she finally couldn't help but laugh; it was truly an unexpected delight.
Mr. Qi walked over and said, "The imperial decree has been received. Your fever packs have indeed benefited many people. This is the Emperor's grace, so you must not let it down."
Shu Yu replied solemnly, "Yes."
In addition to the two hundred taels of gold, there were also some jewelry, precious medicinal herbs, and a three-courtyard house in Jiangyuan County.
Shu Yu did the conversion: two hundred taels of gold was equivalent to two thousand taels of silver, and the jewelry and medicinal herbs would also amount to two or three thousand taels. The houses in Jiangyuan County were actually cheaper in comparison; a large three-courtyard house would cost around seven or eight hundred taels.
Of course, this is the best location.
When she returns home, the local county government will arrange for the house to be provided.
Given her relationship with Xiang Weinan, the location will definitely be the best; there's no need to worry about that.
All things considered, the reward is estimated to be over five thousand taels of silver.
For Shu Yu now, this money is just icing on the cake. The most valuable thing is the title of Township Lady; in the vast Jiangyuan County, she can probably roam freely.
Cough, don't float.
Just now, Mr. Qi reminded me not to let down the Emperor's grace.
Shu Yu raised his head and thanked them again with a serious expression. "It's really kind of you gentlemen to come all this way for my sake. The kitchen just happened to have some fresh roe deer that we caught today. Why don't you have lunch here before you leave?"
The group exchanged glances. Roe deer! Although they were all people who had no shortage of food and drink, they didn't usually eat wild game. Especially roe deer, which Lord Shi had never tasted before.
However, since Qi Chan was the leader here, everyone turned to look at him.
Qi Chan nodded with a smile, "That would be great."
The governor arranged for Chengxian and the others to help out in the kitchen and stay there for the time being.
The officials had nothing to do at the moment, so they took a stroll around the estate. The county magistrate summoned Wang Changdong and asked him to show them around and give them an introduction.
Shu Yu couldn't understand what was so good about this manor. It wasn't very big, and it wasn't as luxurious and exquisite as the villas of these people. Wouldn't she be disappointed after seeing it?
She didn't go shopping with them; Qi Chan asked her to stay, saying he had a few words to say to her.
So everyone else went out, but Shu Yu went to the backyard with Qi Chan and sat on a stone bench chatting.
Qi Chan smiled and said, "I haven't received any news from the capital yet, and it's my fault for dragging you into this."
Shu Yu was taken aback. "Did you implicate me?"
"Yes, in principle, you should have received a result soon after submitting your fever pack. However, it was me who submitted it, and the court has been arguing about my contributions, which is why it has taken so long."
Shu Yu suddenly realized, "So that's how it is."
In other words, there is no problem with her being acquitted and granted the title of Lady of the Township.
The question is whether Qi Chan can actually return to the capital and be reinstated to his original position.
Given his status, he certainly had political enemies in the court, and those who supported and opposed him were bound to argue for some time.
Therefore, it is not surprising that the imperial edict has only arrived now.
"And what about you, sir? Are you able to return to the capital?"
