Chapter 2352 Reunion with Lord Cheng
However, Meng Yunzheng resigned from his official post just like that, and went to become some kind of mountain chief.
Based on this alone, the man felt it would be very difficult to win him over.
"Young Master Meng must have something he wants, right? As long as you can do things for your master, anything your master can do, he can grant you."
Meng Yunzheng almost laughed at that remark. You can't just make empty promises like that.
He scoffed, "Gongqiu killed my mother. I have no good feelings towards him or his other children. Do you understand?"
“But you have already taken your revenge, and Lord Gong is dead. Our master is your only family. You and our master never had any direct conflict. There are no eternal enemies in this world, so there is no need for such rejection.”
Meng Yunzheng simply shook his head, then fell silent, leaning back in his chair and closing his eyes.
Seeing this, the man suddenly laughed, "It seems that Young Master Meng still needs time to consider. I just don't know what the county princess thinks."
Meng Yunzheng suddenly opened his eyes and stared at him sharply.
The man had already stood up and said to Cheng Wu, "Let's take Young Master Meng to rest first."
"yes."
Meng Yunzheng was taken away.
Shu Yu, Zhao Xi, and the others, who had left before him, were taken to a courtyard in the backyard.
Shu Yu frowned as she looked at the heavily guarded courtyard in front of her.
Not to mention those who are seen on the surface, there are probably quite a few eyes watching from the shadows.
The problem is that, apart from the main door in the middle, all the windows and small doors in the house in this courtyard were nailed shut with wooden strips. This 'cell' was really sturdy and safe.
"Go inside." An impolite voice came from behind.
Shu Yu turned her head and glanced at her, then lifted her foot and walked forward.
The door was opened, and the inside was somewhat dim.
Shu Yu's gaze adjusted for a moment, and the next second, her expression suddenly changed.
There were more than a dozen people in the room, all of them looking haggard and pale, huddled together in the corner.
Hearing the door open, everyone inside looked up.
Immediately, Shu Yu's eyes met those of someone inside who looked very familiar.
Her eyes widened suddenly, and disbelief flashed across her face.
Before she could speak, Ma Lu beside her exclaimed in shock, "Lord Cheng?"
Yes, among the dozen or so people locked up in the house was the governor of the southwest.
As soon as Ma Lu finished speaking, he was pushed directly through the door.
He staggered and took two steps forward before regaining his balance.
Shu Yu and the others also entered the room, and the door slammed shut behind them.
A brief silence fell over the room. Lord Cheng looked at Shu Yu with some surprise, "Princess Lu...?"
Shu Yu smiled wryly, "Lord Cheng, it's been a long time."
She thought the problem lay with Lord Cheng, but she never expected that he would also become a prisoner.
Lord Cheng looked much thinner, his cheeks were sunken. He was helped to his feet by a woman beside him and walked toward them with a limp.
“Princess Lu, you, you really have come.”
"Did Lord Cheng know I was coming?"
“I have met the abbess of Dongqing Temple. I heard that she is your master, so I thought that you might come to this southwest region.”
Lord Cheng swayed slightly, then turned to the others in the room and instructed, "Quickly, untie County Magistrate Lu and the others first."
Several people in the corner stood up, revealing the person lying on the ground.
