Chapter 216: The Missing Fourth Uncle

 Chapter 216: The Missing Fourth Uncle

"the friend who went out with your fourth uncle the day before yesterday came back. Your fourth aunt immediately went to ask him, but the man said they separated after delivering the goods." The friend took on another job himself, which caused the delay in his return. But her husband should have returned home early, so why hasn't he appeared until now? "This person suddenly disappeared for no reason. Your fourth aunt was thinking that his friend hadn't come back, so they should have been together. Maybe something held them up. But now, his friend has returned, and your fourth aunt doesn't know where he went." Shu Yu contemplated for a moment and asked, "Did Auntie mention where they separated?" "In the county town," Grandma said, "but it has been so many days. Who knows where he went? The Yuan family even went to the possible places he might have gone, but they haven't found any clues." The Yuan family refers to Auntie's in-laws, and Shu Yu's uncle is named Yuan Shanchuan. After saying this, Grandma looked up at Liang Shi and said, "Go back and tell Sanzhu. Doesn't he know many friends in this village? Ask him to help inquire and see if there are any leads." Liang Shi was caught off guard and seemed unwilling. She muttered, "Does he really know any friends? He's always cooped up at home..." Shu Yu slowly turned her head to look at her, and Liang Shi's voice abruptly stopped. Then she changed the subject and smiled, "Mother, rest assured, I'll go back and talk to the head of the household. Lixing is at least his own sister. He will definitely help with this favor. Our head of the household is enthusiastic." Grandma and Shu Yu: Can you say such things without blushing? Liang Shi hurriedly walked away. After closing the courtyard gate, only the two of them, Grandma and Shu Yu, remained in the Lu family. Shu Yu held Grandma's hand and said, "Don't worry, Grandma. People don't disappear for no reason. If we gather more people, we will surely find him. By the way, did Auntie report it to the authorities?" Grandma nodded, "Yes, she did. She went to report it yesterday morning. But the county office has just changed its magistrate, and everything is chaotic. How can they spare the manpower to help us common folks?" What she didn't say was that when the Yuan family reported to the authorities, they were impatiently driven out after saying a few more words. "They, as ordinary people, were originally afraid to have too much contact with the officials. If Yuan Shanchuan hadn't been missing for such a long time, the Yuan family wouldn't dare to go to the yamen." "At least there is some hope. Otherwise, let's go to the county yamen tomorrow." The old lady was startled and looked at her granddaughter, furrowing her brows. "You want to find Lord Xiang? But didn't you say that you're familiar with him? It might be inconvenient to trouble him. Lord Xiang is very busy, don't leave a bad impression on him." The old lady disagreed, but Shu Yu smiled and shook her head. "No, I'm not looking for Lord Xiang." Why would she need to find Xiang Weinan for this matter? It would be a waste of his talents. She still wanted to keep the reward from Xiang Weinan for her own exile incident. Shu Yu spoke softly, "Grandma, have you forgotten the two officials who came to deliver gifts yesterday? We've at least met them and exchanged a few words, right? We don't need them to do much, just ask them to help pay attention. Also, check the route guide." "Route guide?" "When important officials stay more than a hundred miles away from their place of residence, they need a route guide. If there's no route guide, it means Fourth Uncle is still within a hundred miles."
