Chapter 364: Going Home
Upon hearing Meng Yunzheng words, she didn't say much. After all, she also wished for the Shu family's misfortune. She carefully stored the painting and said, "Be careful and avoid directly confronting the Shu family. With this painting, I believe it's enough to give them a hard time." Meng Yunzheng smiled and replied, "Alright, you too." Shu Yu turned around and boarded the carriage. Meng Yunzheng watched them enter the city before climbing onto the carriage himself. Zhao Xi jerked the reins and said, "Let's go." The carriage raced forward. Shu Yu and the others first went to the horse and carriage shop to return the carriage. Yuan Shanchuan was puzzled. "Aren't we going directly to the county yamen?" He was anxious, thinking about his wife's parents still being held there. He wished he could grow wings and fly there immediately. Shu Yu glanced at him sideways. "If we go there in our current appearance, we will most likely be kicked out by the people at the county yamen." She couldn't reveal her identity as Shu Yu. "Let's go home first, change our clothes, and then come back. No matter how urgent it is, we can't act recklessly, especially in this situation. We need to be cautious." The purpose of their disguises was to avoid being recognized and to prevent others from knowing what they had done. So Shu Yu quickly led Yuan Shanchuan and Da Niu into an empty alley. She changed back into women's clothing, while Da Niu and Yuan Shanchuan changed into different outfits. Yuan Shanchuan's clothes didn't fit well, but it didn't matter. In this city, there were many people from struggling families wearing ill-fitting clothes, so it wasn't unusual. Yuan Shanchuan and Da Niu easily removed their facial makeup. They wiped their faces with wet cloths, revealing their true appearances. After adjusting their hairstyles, everything looked fine. Shu Yu was a bit more troublesome, so she kept her veil. The three of them walked out of the alley, completely transformed into different people. They walked toward Liufang Lane, and on the way, they encountered neighbors who looked at Shu Yu with curiosity due to her veil. Shu Yu nodded slightly and coughed a few times. The neighbors thought she had caught a cold and quietly took a few steps back, afraid of being infected. Da Niu stifled a silent laugh with his hand, while Yuan Shanchuan paid no attention. He hurriedly walked, his steps quick. When they stood in front of the door of the Lu family, they could hear voices coming from inside. Earlier, in the morning, the old lady accompanied Liang Shi to look at a house and seemed to have returned. Shu Yu pushed open the door and indeed saw the old lady sitting in the courtyard with Ruan Shi and several children. Liang Shi was not there, so she must have found a suitable house and moved there. Before Shu Yu had a chance to speak, Yuan Shanchuan called out with red eyes, "Xiao Zhen!!" Everyone in the courtyard heard the voice and looked up, freezing in place. Ruan Shi even exclaimed, "Am I seeing things?" Little Zhen, who was talking with San Ya, heard the familiar voice. She looked up in a daze and rushed towards this direction. In the next moment, tears rolled down the little girl's cheeks, and she threw herself into Yuan Shanchuan's arms. "Father, Father, sob... You're finally back, Father." Yuan Shanchuan took big strides forward and embraced the girl who pounced on him. He couldn't hold back his choking voice, "Don't be afraid, Father is back. How have you been? Is your little brother alright?" Xiao Zhen sobbed and cried, unable to hear what he was saying. After Shu Yu and Da Niu entered, they turned around and closed the courtyard door.
