Chapter 310: Shocking the Entire County Office
Chapter 310: Shocking the Entire County Office Shu Yu took a deep breath. "So, what would be the most severe punishment for my aunt?" "Exile," Wang Hong replied. Exile again. Every time Shu Yu heard the word "exile," she felt a headache coming on. Wang Hong looked at her with a hint of pity. Nobody could have predicted this turn of events. There was something he didn't mention. In fact, they hadn't paid much attention to Yuan Shanchuan before. Even when Yuan's family came to the county office to report his disappearance, they didn't have the energy to focus on him. It was only when Shu Yu came and asked for their help that they allocated manpower to search for Yuan Shanchuan. Well, during their search, they unexpectedly unraveled a major piece of evidence that they couldn't find before—the one entrusted by the former county magistrate to Yuan Shanchuan's hands. It truly shocked the entire county office. Wang Hong didn't know whether to thank Shu Yu or feel sorry for her. Unable to fully understand Wang Hong's expression, Shu Yu simply asked, "Has my fourth uncle been found?" "No, we are still searching for him with all our efforts," Wang Hong replied. Shu Yu understood that they hadn't found him yet, so they didn't know the specifics of his situation or how severe his punishment might be. "Can I go see my aunt?" Shu Yu asked. "I can't guarantee that, but Hu Li is still at the county office. You can ask him about it. It should be possible to see her, but you'll need someone to accompany you," Wang Hong explained. "I understand. Thank you, Brother Wang. Let's go to the county town now," Shu Yu said. "Okay." The two of them returned to the Yuan family's doorstep, and Wang Hong nodded at Shu Yu before turning and entering the house. Shu Yu, under the bewildered gazes of the villagers of Daxu Village, walked over to Lu Dasong. Da Niu eagerly asked, "How did it go? What did the master say?" Shu Yu shook her head. "Let's talk while we walk." "Okay." Lu Dasong picked up Xiaozhen, and the group followed behind Shu Yu as they made their way towards where the mule cart was parked. As they left, the villagers immediately started discussing. "Wow, this Miss Lu actually knows people in the government?" "The leading officer earlier seemed to have a surprisingly good attitude towards her." "Do you think Miss Lu will really take Xiaozhen and the others to see the Yuan family?" As they spoke, someone turned their head and looked at Aunt Yao. By now, her face had turned pale, and she hurriedly ran back home in a panicked manner. "I guess even if Yuan Shanchuan is guilty, the Lu family should be able to save Aunt Lu." "But as for the other members of the Yuan family... it's hard to say." The villagers looked towards the three sisters-in-law of the Yuan family, who were in a daze. Someone reminded them, "What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and follow them. You might as well take this chance to see your husband." The three sisters-in-law suddenly snapped back to their senses. "Right, right, let's catch up." They still had the mule cart, so they could sit in it and be more comfortable. The three of them quickly wiped their faces and stood up to catch up. However, they were a step too late. Shu Yu and the others had already boarded the cart, and Da Niu was urging the mule towards the village entrance. "Wait for us! We're coming too!" the three sisters-in-law called out from behind. Da Niu hesitated for a moment, looking somewhat uncertain. But Shu Yu, with an expressionless face, said, "Just keep going. The mule cart can't fit so many people." Da Niu immediately picked up the pace, and in no time, the cart had left Daxu Village, heading straight for the county town. However, not long after leaving the village, Lu Dasong looked nervously at the crying Xiaozhen and said, "What should we do? Xiaozhen has been crying all along. Will something bad happen if it continues like this?"
