Chapter 869 The Big House for Shu Yu
Since Lu Sanzhu had said so, Da Niu had no choice but to turn around and head towards the county government office.
At this time, the Lu family had also met Master Xiang.
Xiang Weinan was quite moved. He had thought that Miss Lu was not simple before, but now he realized that he had been too narrow-minded. She was not just simple, she was clearly a master.
Even in a place of exile, he managed to turn the tide, not only befriending Mr. Qi but also producing such an enviable item, which led to his being directly granted the title of Lady of the Township. Impressive, truly impressive.
Shu Yu came to register her household registration. As a newly appointed village head, she naturally had to be registered.
After Xiang Weinan read the imperial edict, he placed a key in front of her.
"Here's the key to your three-courtyard house. I specially picked out a great location for you. How about we go take a look now?"
The other members of the Lu family were all tempted when they heard about the three-courtyard house, and their eyes lit up when they saw the key.
However, thinking of the original plan, Shu Yu said, "We need to go back to Shangshi Village first. Let's do it another day. I'll keep the key for now, just tell me the address."
Xiang Weinan told Shu Yu the address, and after considering it in her mind, she realized it was indeed a good location. It wasn't far from Ningshui Street, and it was even just one street away from the Ding family's house.
Shu Yu was very satisfied. She guessed correctly; Xiang Weinan would indeed reserve a large courtyard for her.
“Alright, Hu Li and I will go to Shangshi Village with you in a little while to read the imperial edict to you.”
After Xiang Weinan finished speaking, he called out to Hu Li, telling him to go and make preparations. Shu Yu's return home in glory was a proper ceremony, and according to procedure, the imperial edict should have been read aloud again in her place of household registration, so that others wouldn't be unaware and make wild guesses, thinking she had secretly escaped from exile and treated her as an unregistered person, showing disrespect.
Seeing that things were settled here, Shu Yu said to the rest of the Lu family, "Grandma, you all go outside and have some tea. I have something I'd like to discuss with Master Xiang privately."
"Okay, then you two can chat at your leisure."
After the Lu family left, Xiang Weinan looked at her suspiciously, "What is it?"
"Mr. Qi should have been reinstated by now, right?"
Xiang Weinan laughed heartily, "Of course."
Unlike the Lu family, who traveled at a leisurely pace, Qi Chan was urged to go to the capital. He left Heichang County even earlier than Shu Yu. After returning to the capital, he went to the palace to express his gratitude and rejoined the court.
His return to the capital was not only glorious, but he was also given even greater favor by the emperor, and who knows, he might be promoted even further before long.
Shu Yu was relieved upon hearing this, and then took out a letter from his sleeve. "Then I would like to trouble you, sir, to deliver this letter to Mr. Qi."
"A letter?" Xiang Weinan asked, puzzled. "You just got back and you're already sending him a letter?"
"Um."
"You need his help?" That can't be right. He's back in Jiangyuan County and even a local magistrate now. Why would he need someone else's help?
Seeing his curiosity, Shu Yu couldn't help but laugh and say, "You'll know once you open it and take a look."
Xiang Weinan pointed to himself, "I can see?"
"Yes, you can watch it."
Xiang Weinan hesitated for a moment, but finally couldn't resist and pulled out the letter.
The contents of the two sheets of paper were neither too long nor too short.
Xiang Weinan first gave it a cursory glance, then froze, looking up in astonishment and asking, "You confessed to him that you had recognized the Lu family ahead of time?"
"Not being honest can easily lead to future troubles," Shu Yu sighed, looking quite helpless.
