Chapter 823 Wang Changdong's Thoughtfulness
Shu Yu almost died laughing when she heard this. Zhao Xi was so anxious to avoid getting involved with Huifeng Escort Agency?
Meng Yunzheng glanced at Zhao Xi sideways, while the latter blinked at him frantically.
In the end, Meng Yunzheng nodded, "Yes, I have people on my side."
Ultimately, he didn't want to travel with the people from the Huifeng Escort Agency, as there were still many inconveniences.
Shu Yu thought of Meng Yunzheng's identity and nodded, "Yes, Dad, our family will feel more comfortable on the road."
Lu Erbai's expression was complicated. So, they were family now?
But since several capable people had said so, Lu Erbai stopped insisting. "Alright, then we'll go by ourselves."
The group discussed what to take back. As for the route, they decided to follow the same road they had come by. It was an official road, and their carriages were spacious enough. They were already familiar with the route, which included post stations and towns.
Just as they were getting into the discussion, Meng Yunzheng suddenly heard some noises outside. He frowned and said, "There's someone outside."
"At this time, those people who work outside should have all gone home." In other words, those people have heard about Shu Yu's situation and are very likely to come to their house.
It's fine if it's someone you know who comes, but I'm afraid some complete strangers will also come to say hello.
Lu Erbai knew this all too well. Back when Brother Yao had just received the imperial decree to be reinstated to his official post and hadn't yet left Heichang County, the Yao family was in a similar situation.
Countless people came and went, each trying to curry favor with him under various pretexts. During that period, the Yao family was constantly visited, with no respite whatsoever.
Lu Erbai went to deliver things twice, but was blocked at the door and couldn't get in.
The thought of facing the same situation in the next few days suddenly gave me a headache.
Shu Yu stood up. "I'll go out and take a look."
When she opened the courtyard gate, she saw two familiar-looking... government officials.
"you……"
The two constables brought two stools and stood guard on either side of her courtyard gate. When they saw the gate open, they turned around and said with a smile, "Lord Lu, we brothers were instructed by Brother Wang to stand guard here so that no one would disturb your family reunion."
Shu Yu, "..."
What can I say? Wang Changdong is already so busy, yet he still managed to do this much.
"Lu Xiangjun, you just need to take care of your business. I imagine your family has been quite busy these past few days. We'll take care of things here and won't let strangers come and bother you. If anyone has an emergency, we'll knock on the door then."
"Yes, Mr. Lu, you should go in quickly. If anything happens, just let us know. We'll leave after everyone has rested in the evening."
Shu Yu was momentarily speechless, unable to say no. This was Wang Changdong's kind offer, and she truly needed it.
Therefore, she accepted the gesture and nodded, "Thank you very much."
After saying that, he went inside and got some food and tea for the two of them.
The two officials thanked him and had Shu Yu close the courtyard gate again.
Wang Changdong's consideration was quite practical. If it weren't for these two officials, those who had finished work, even if they didn't dare to knock on the door and come in to greet Shu Yu, would have surrounded the entire Lu family.
Even with these two officials present, many people were still peeking around outside, and those who were a little further away were all gossiping about it.
This includes the Shu family.
