Chapter 1861 The Family Goes to the Prefectural City
Ever since the old lady learned about Granny Fang's situation the day before yesterday, she had been holding back her anger, and now that it was about to be resolved, she was overjoyed.
She pulled Grandma Fang along, "Come on, let's go find Ayu and ask her what she wants to do. She came back late yesterday and didn't have time to talk to me properly."
The two of them ran happily to Shu Yu's yard, and the latter couldn't help but laugh at the old lady's anxious look.
"Grandma, don't rush, wait a little longer."
Half an hour passed. Granny Fang was getting restless, but the old lady remained calm.
She reassured her younger sister, "Don't worry, Ayu said to wait a little longer, so we'll wait. You don't know what Ayu is capable of; she absolutely means what she says. Chen Bing is doomed."
Not long after, A-Gui returned. His game usually sold quickly, but this time, because there was a wild boar, it took him a little longer to sell it.
Not long after he returned, a child ran quickly to the Meng Family Escort Agency, sweating profusely, saying he wanted to find Ying Xi.
Yes, he was looking for Ying Xi. Many people had been seeking the county magistrate these days, and the gatekeeper could easily mistake them for opportunists, but finding Ying Xi would be a safe bet.
When Shu Yu heard that a child had come to see Ying Xi, she guessed who it was.
She walked out in a few steps and handed two oranges to the child. The child happily accepted them and quickly said, "Miss, I just saw Chen He preparing to leave, taking his wife back to the prefectural city."
Shu Yu asked him, "Have they set off yet?"
“As soon as I saw them pulling the cart, I felt something was wrong, so I deliberately went up to ask. Chen He said they were going back to the prefectural city, but they had just returned yesterday, and they didn’t need to prepare much since they were leaving again today. In the time I’ve been running over here, I guess they’ve already lined up at the city gate to leave.”
Shu Yu understood and said to the child, "Thank you for coming to tell me. You've worked hard. Here's the rest of your hard work as a reward."
The child looked at the twenty-odd coins in his hand, his eyes shining. "Thank you, Miss. If you ever need my help keeping an eye on people again, I will definitely keep your promise and keep it absolutely secret. I won't tell anyone."
"Okay, I'll contact you again if I need anything. You can go home now."
The child grabbed the money and ran away quickly.
Shu Yu then turned around and said to Ying Dong behind him, "Follow Chen He first and see where the Chen family is resting now. Once you know, wait for us at the city gate."
"Yes." Ying Dong had seen Chen He yesterday and already knew what he looked like.
He quickly led out a horse and, without saying a word, galloped towards the city gate.
Shu Yu returned to the escort agency with Ying Xi and said to Meng Pei, who was discussing matters with Uncle Meng, "Uncle Meng, we are going to the prefectural city and will not be back today."
Meng Pei was surprised. "You're going to the prefectural city? Who? You and Ying Xi?"
"Not only that, but also my grandma and my dad."
Even Uncle Meng was surprised this time, "Why is your whole family going to the prefectural city?"
"Settle the accounts."
Uncle Meng, “…” Huh? What does that mean?
Meng Pei, however, seemed to know what was going on. He laughed heartily, "Do you need me to help you bolster your forces?"
"No need, there are so many of us. Uncle Meng, you go ahead with your work, we'll set off now."
Meng Pei didn't press the matter. "Alright, then you can go. Anyway, A-Yun and Lord Qi are in the prefectural city. If you need anything, just ask them for help."
"Um."
