Chapter 1099 Are you Ayu?
Meng Yunzheng thanked him again before getting up and walking out.
But after taking just one step, he suddenly stumbled. Upon seeing this, Shu Yu instinctively reached out to help him.
Lord Jing coughed lightly and instructed, "Xiao Yu, escort Young Master Gong back. Also, tell him about the cause and effect of the case to avoid any further misunderstandings."
Shu Yu, “…” Xiao Yu? ???
"Yes, sir." Shu Yu replied respectfully, took a few steps forward and supported Meng Yunzheng's arm, "Young Master Gong, please take it easy."
Meng Yunzheng smiled slightly and subtly squeezed her hand. "Thank you."
As they spoke, the two slowly walked towards the gate of Dali Temple.
Zhao Xi followed behind them, feeling that this attendant of Lord Jing was a bit strange.
The three of them walked to the main gate, where the Gong family's carriage was already waiting.
The coachman rushed forward, "Young Master, are you alright?"
"It's alright, let's go back to the manor."
The three got into the car and headed straight for the Gong family's residence.
With the heads of the Gong family absent and Gong Chang murdered, the Gong family home appeared exceptionally desolate.
Meng Yunzheng stood at the door and asked the gatekeeper, "Has Madam returned?"
He had never wanted to call Madam Gong "Mother"; his only mother was Song Xin.
"They're back, and the doctor is examining them," the doorman replied.
Madam Gong fainted in court and was immediately sent home, arriving at her home even before Meng Yunzheng.
Upon hearing this, Meng Yunzheng nodded and then led Zhao Xi and Shu Yu back to his own courtyard.
He didn't ask about Gong Qiu's whereabouts. He knew the Fifth Prince's plan very well. Gong Qiu was probably having a secret rendezvous with that Consort right now and was about to be caught red-handed. He might not even be able to return today.
Meng Yunzheng's courtyard was simple and secluded, and almost deserted with hardly any people around.
I don't know if it's because he was imprisoned in the Dali Temple prison, but none of his servants were left in his courtyard. They either ran away on their own or were dismissed by Madam Gong.
Shu Yu followed him inside; there wasn't even a cup of hot tea.
Fortunately, Shu Yu had the foresight to take out the water pouch from his waist and pour a cup of water for each of the three.
Zhao Xi was very thirsty, so he was the first to reach out and take the water cup. He drank one cup and then poured water from his own water bag.
Once he felt better, he sighed and looked at Shu Yu, asking with some confusion, "Are you Lord Jing's attendant? How come I've never seen you before?"
Shu Yu couldn't help but roll her eyes. "You might be a little blind."
As soon as her clear voice rang out, Zhao Xi took a step back, staring at her in disbelief. "You, you, you are A-Yu?"
That voice is exactly the same as Shu Yu's.
Meng Yunzheng nodded. "She is."
Zhao Xi was utterly shocked. "Why are you in the capital? Who else is here besides you? Has our Ayou arrived yet?"
Your family...Ayu?
Shu Yu suppressed her inner grumbling and shook her head. "She didn't come. The capital is in such a mess, how could I dare to bring her here?"
"It's good that he didn't come, it's good that he didn't come."
Meng Yunzheng disagreed, saying, "You know the capital is in chaos, so why did you come here?"
Shu Yu started complaining, "Wasn't it because you left all by yourself that day, without even taking Zhao Xi with you, as if you were going to die a heroic death? How could I not worry?"
Meng Yunzheng was silent for a moment, then said, "It's my fault."
