Chapter 959 Jiang Kuanyu
When the government officials arrived, the villagers who had been gathered outside naturally dispersed.
Shu Yu couldn't return to the city now, as the city gates were already closed so late.
Young Master Jiang then invited them to stay at the manor for the time being. Fortunately, both Da Niu and Lu Sanzhu had informed their families of their whereabouts before leaving.
There's no need to worry about Zhou Qiao. As for the Liang family, they used to experience Lu Sanzhu staying out all night, so they just eat and sleep as usual.
Moreover, she knew that Lu Sanzhu had come to borrow money from the second wife's family, and she even wondered if he needed to do something for Ayu in order to get the money, so she wasn't worried.
Young Master Jiang not only invited them, but also several government officials.
However, Hu Li refused, citing his need to stay here to keep watch, and the Cui family could rest without having to go to the estate.
However, the unconscious little bud was taken away by Uncle Hu.
Having no other choice, Young Master Jiang had Aunt Hu bring dinner to the Cui family for the officials.
Shu Yu thought that Hu Li wasn't going to the manor because he planned to sneak into the woods at night.
She lingered, wanting to stay a little longer and take the opportunity to go with them.
But Hu Li shook his head. “The guards there are even tighter at night. We’re proper government officials, and we’re supposed to be investigating today’s murder case. Wouldn’t it make us look guilty and have impure motives if we went in the middle of the night? Let’s not go tonight, and we’ll set off early tomorrow morning.”
Alright, since he said so, Shu Yu went back to the manor to sleep with peace of mind.
The village was brightly lit. Aunt Hu had already tidied up her house, and her attitude was noticeably kinder and more respectful than when they first met, presumably because she knew of her status as a village lady.
Shu Yu smiled at her and casually asked about Xiao Ya'er's room, saying she wanted to take a look.
Little Sprout still hadn't woken up. Uncle Hu checked on her every now and then, and figured she wouldn't get a good rest tonight.
Fortunately, the little girl's fever subsided, and although she was still drowsy, her condition improved significantly.
Shu Yu then went back to her room to sleep with peace of mind.
It must be said that although this village is extremely remote, with no other villages or shops in sight, it is also exceptionally quiet.
There were hardly any insects chirping or birds singing, let alone any loud, boisterous voices shouting outside.
Shu Yu slept until dawn, and when she woke up, she was still a little disoriented and didn't know where she was.
She only sat up abruptly when she heard Da Niu and Lu Sanzhu talking at the door.
Thinking about what Hu Li and the others were going to do today, Shu Yu quickly got dressed and went out.
Lu Sanzhu was standing at the door. He turned around and greeted her, "Ayu, you're awake. Come on in, breakfast is ready. Come and eat."
Besides Hu Bo and his wife, there were also cooks and servants in this village.
Lu Sanzhu had never experienced such treatment before, with servants preparing a sumptuous breakfast for him first thing in the morning, and he looked particularly excited.
Shu Yu chuckled and followed him to the flower hall.
Young Master Jiang was already sitting there. Upon seeing her, he immediately stood up to greet her, "Lu...Lu Xiangjun."
The two had known each other for a day, and Shu Yu had learned his name—Jiang Kuanyu.
Shu Yu pretended not to see the complicated look in his eyes, and sat down at the table very naturally. After taking a sip of porridge, she said, "I originally wanted to talk about buying the estate yesterday, but I didn't expect such an accident to happen."
Jiang Kuanyu sighed. Yes, Zhuangzi has been murdered.
Shu Yu took another sip of porridge. "We were delayed yesterday, let's continue our discussion today."
