Chapter 681 The Excited Carpenter Yao
When Shu Yu went out shopping in the afternoon, she made a point of circling around the entrance of the county government office.
Then she saw that the guards who were originally stationed at the county government gate had been replaced, and the person in question was someone she had seen yesterday—a bodyguard who followed the governor.
This is interesting. She thought the governor would go to other places to inspect today, but she didn't expect him to directly bring down the magistrate of Heichang County.
If the county magistrate is about to be finished, how far behind can his brother-in-law be?
Just as Shu Yu was thinking this, she saw the carpenter Yao, who was sitting next to Lu Erbai, suddenly put down his chopsticks, look up at her abruptly, and ask excitedly, "You said the governor is here? In Heichang County?"
Shu Yu nodded. "Yes, he actually arrived last night. Why?"
How did you know he arrived yesterday?
Shu Yu: "I saw him yesterday, and he even rewarded me."
Carpenter Yao's eyes lit up even more. "You, you've seen him? Did you, did you see who was with him? Did you see a Mr. Qi?"
Shu Yu was surprised; this person actually knew Mr. Qi?
"I do know a Mr. Qi."
Carpenter Yao suddenly stood up, his expression a mixture of wanting to laugh and desperately trying to suppress it. "He really has come. Mr. Qi has indeed come with the governor. No, I have to go find him."
As he spoke, he said to Lu Erbai, "Brother Lu, I'll skip this meal for now. I'm sorry, I have urgent business to attend to, so I'll be leaving now."
After speaking, he bowed to the old lady and the others, apologized, and then turned and left the kitchen.
Lu Erbai was stunned. How could he just leave like that?
"Hey, wait a minute, Brother Yao, what are you doing?"
It was late at night, and as soon as he heard that the governor was coming, he ran outside. I hope nothing bad happened to him.
Lu Erbai quickly caught up with them, and when he reached the kitchen door, he said to Shu Yu and the others, "Ayu, you guys eat first, don't go hungry. I'll go check on things and be right back, don't wait for me."
After saying that, he ran away, leaving the Lu family members in the kitchen looking at each other in bewilderment.
Shu Yu frowned as she looked at the spot where Carpenter Yao had been sitting, then turned to ask Madam Ruan, "Mother, who is this Carpenter Yao?"
Ms. Ruan was also baffled. She shook her head and said, "I don't know."
The old lady glanced at her sideways. "What use are you, anyway?"
Ruan Shi, “…” It’s not right for her to ask her husband about other men for no reason.
The old lady snorted softly, "Alright, let's eat first. When your father comes back, you can ask him."
Then he said to Madam Ruan, "Take a bowl and leave some food for the second son. Heat it up when he comes back."
"Yes, Mother."
The family didn't wait for Lu Erbai any longer. After finishing dinner and cleaning up the dishes, Lu Erbai finally returned.
Seeing that he seemed fine except for being a little tired, Shu Yu felt relieved.
She went to the kitchen to heat up some food for Lu Erbai and brought it to the table. "Dad, eat."
Lu Erbai looked up as he ate and said, "You want to ask about your Uncle Yao, right?"
Shu Yu nodded. "You eat first. You've had a long day. You'll have the energy to talk if you eat well."
Lu Erbai chuckled, "Alright, I'll listen to you."
After finishing his meal and drinking a cup of hot tea, he let Shu Yu sit opposite him and said, "Brother Yao, he was actually a prisoner exiled here."
