Chapter 1170 Seeing Lord Wan Again
An official boat was moored at the dock, not far from the large ship they were on.
At this time, some soldiers were standing guard beside the official boat, and there were several carriages on the shore. A few people got out of the carriages.
The group, consisting of both men and women, was slowly preparing to board the ship.
However, when Shu Yu saw a certain man in the crowd, she suddenly paused.
That person, isn't that Lord Wan?
Unexpectedly, she had run into Lord Wan once in the backyard of the Shangyang Mansion Inn when she went to the capital. Now, on her return to the capital, she saw Lord Wan again.
However, the two are now heading in completely opposite directions. Lord Wan should be preparing to return to the capital at this moment.
It's quite a coincidence, really.
Shu Yu watched from afar, noticing their hurried manner and the fact that there seemed to be other officials with Lord Wan, so she didn't think of going to greet them.
She listened to the discussion around her while sipping her soup, occasionally glancing at Gouwa's focused expression.
The child is very serious about eating, always being extremely careful and not wanting to drop even a single crumb on the table.
After the child had eaten more than half of the soup, Shu Yu lowered her head and pushed the bowl of soup next to her towards him, saying, "Slow down, have some soup, don't choke."
Gouwa obediently placed the steamed bun on the small plate on the table and lowered his head to drink the soup.
However, what Shu Yu didn't know was that just as she lowered her head, Lord Wan, who was about to board the official ship, raised his head, glanced in her direction, and then continued walking forward.
Upon arriving at the room, just as Lord Wan was about to unfasten the cloak from his shoulders, a pair of hands reached out from behind him.
"My lord, let me help you."
The owner of the hand was a woman wearing a veiled hat. She took off the veiled hat as soon as she entered the room and then quickly came over to help him.
Lord Wan turned his head and smiled, "No need, you've been traveling for so many days, you should rest for a while. Is everything settled with Xiao Qing?"
The woman took his cloak and hung it aside, nodding with a smile, "She's settled. The maid you bought for her is honest and caring, so don't worry about her."
"That's good." Lord Wan walked to the shelf and washed his face.
The woman walked to the front and opened the window. From this angle, she could see the large ship next door.
Lord Wan also came over and, following her gaze, saw Meng Pei carrying the urn of ashes off the deck.
He didn't recognize the man, so Lord Wan quickly looked away and said to the woman, "I don't know if you get seasick. If you feel unwell later, ask the doctor on the ship for some medicine."
"I understand, my lord, please rest assured."
"Then you rest first, I'll go out for a while and check on the situation on the ship."
Lord Wan left the room with his hands behind his back, inquired about the guard arrangements, and did not return until the official ship had set sail.
Upon entering, he saw the woman still leaning against the window, gazing at the receding scenery on the shore, and couldn't help but ask, "What are you thinking about? You seem so engrossed."
The woman snapped out of her daze and quickly got up to bring him a bowl of soup. "I just went to the kitchen to cook this for you. It's still warm. Please try it, sir."
After Lord Wan had taken a couple of sips, the woman answered his question, "I was wondering how long it would take us to reach the capital. Is Ayu in the capital right now?"
Lord Wan thought for a moment and said, "I met her in Shangyang Prefecture last time. If her destination is indeed the capital, you might indeed run into her."
