Chapter 820 Going to Transport Gold
Shu Yu laughed heartily, "That's right."
She walked towards the main room, glanced at Meng Yunzheng standing beside her, and then looked up at Lu Erbai and the others. "Father, Mother, why did you come here? I was just about to leave for the county town."
Ruan's eyes were red and swollen, clearly she had cried tears of joy. She came over and stroked Shu Yu's hand, saying, "Yun Zheng came to tell us."
Meng Yunzheng said, "I have been keeping an eye on the news from the county government. Today the county government is so lively, I just asked around and found out that the governor is here. Then I saw them heading towards Zhengdao Village, so I guessed that your matter must have been resolved."
He figured that since the adults had all gone, Ayu would definitely be unable to leave in a short time, so he went to find Lu Erbai first.
Upon hearing this, the Lu family no longer cared about anything else.
Lu Erbai quickly put down what he was doing, and Ruan Shi and Daya packed up their stall halfway through setting it up.
At this moment, nothing is more important than whether Shu Yu can be acquitted.
The whole family packed up and rushed over without waiting.
Actually, they had been there for a while, but there were people outside the manor, and several adults were still there, so it was inconvenient for them to appear there. They could only wait patiently at home.
However, they already knew the contents of the imperial edict.
However, Meng Yunzheng actually knew about the imperial edict earlier than they did, because he had just received a letter from the capital that morning, which detailed what had happened in the court. He had originally planned to come to Zhengdao Village today to give the letter to Shu Yu.
Now that the Lu family had all arrived, Shu Yu no longer needed to rush to the county town.
Lu Erbai and his group brought a lot of food with them when they came. Such an important event deserves a proper celebration.
Daya went to hang the clothes out to dry, while the old lady took Ruan Shi to the kitchen to work. Lu Erbai prepared to pack things up, taking out the things he didn't plan to take with him, so he could give them to Aunt Fang or take them back to anyone who needed them.
Shu Yu asked Da Hu if he wanted to go find Xu Zhensheng, since the Xu family had all returned. Da Hu nodded eagerly; he had many things he wanted to say to his good friend and needed to say a proper goodbye.
So Zhao Xi took Da Hu and San Ya to the Xu family.
As for Shu Yu, she led the mule cart with Meng Yunzheng to the estate to bring back the gold and medicinal herbs that had been bestowed upon her.
They encountered many people on the way, all of whom wanted to get close to Shu Yu. However, the change in their status made them uncomfortable with each other, and since Shu Yu hadn't been very familiar with them before, they didn't dare to come up to her. Instead, they greeted her from a distance.
Several bolder individuals approached her to speak, but Shu Yu simply didn't have the time, especially since they were complete strangers and this awkward, inexplicable conversation was just too much.
She and Meng Yunzheng boarded the carriage and sped up.
When they arrived at the village, Shu Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Meng Yunzheng chuckled, "It's alright now, but once you return to Jiangyuan County, the people you meet will only be more enthusiastic."
Shu Yu felt a headache coming on just thinking about that scene.
It seems that as one's status rises, so too will social engagements.
She shook her head and, together with Meng Yunzheng, moved the box onto the mule cart.
Upon hearing that they had encountered many villagers along the way, Wang Changdong immediately volunteered, "I'll clear the way for you on the way back." There was quite a bit of gold in the mule cart; they couldn't afford any accidents.
