Chapter 445: Unexpected Turn of Events
Shu Yu's movements paused as she looked at Mr. Guo and asked, "Are you sure?"
"Of course, we don't deceive our customers," Mr. Guo replied with certainty, his gaze fixed on the bundle in her hands.
Shu Yu pursed her lips and sat back down. "Alright then, we'll exchange the money and the goods simultaneously."
Mr. Guo almost burst into laughter at her words. It sounded as if they were involved in some illicit transaction. But considering that they were in the black market, it seemed fitting.
He nodded at Shu Yu and excused himself, "Wait a moment."
Shu Yu watched him leave and waited for a while. Mr. Guo returned with a box in his hand.
When the box was opened, it revealed neatly stacked silver bills.
Mr. Guo had been meticulous; the bills had various denominations and were placed neatly in the box. He pushed it toward Shu Yu and said, "Please count it. Once you leave the black market, if there are any discrepancies with the silver bills, the black market won't take responsibility."
Shu Yu nodded and opened the box, taking out the stack of silver bills.
She counted the money quickly, not even giving Mr. Guo enough time to finish a cup of tea before she was done.
Mr. Guo was somewhat surprised. "Are you sure about the amount?"
"Indeed, it's exactly twenty-eight thousand taels, not a single tael more or less." Shu Yu pushed her own box toward him. "And this mirror now belongs to you."
Mr. Guo smiled. "A pleasant cooperation. I hope that in the future, when you have good items, you will consider the black market first. I promise you won't be treated unfairly."
"Alright, I'll come to you next time. I hope Mr. Guo's authority can be even greater."
Mr. Guo burst into laughter, feeling delighted as he accepted the mirror.
Shu Yu, carrying the bundle with the box of silver bills, stood up and left the room. "Then, I'll take my leave. Until we meet again."
Mr. Guo called a servant to escort her out.
Returning to the bamboo forest, Shu Yu led the carriage and left.
She remained cautious, returning the rented carriage first, and then changing her appearance before returning to Liufang Lane.
Just as she passed by the Meng family's doorstep, Zhao Xi happened to open the door.
The two locked eyes, and Shu Yu waved at him. "Heading out."
Zhao Xi smiled foolishly and quickly glanced around. Seeing that there was no one else in the lane, he invited her inside.
Shu Yu, with tens of thousands of taels in silver in her possession, to be honest, felt like going back home.
But judging from Zhao Xi's expression, he seemed to have something important to discuss with her.
Sure enough, as soon as she entered, Zhao Xi quickly dropped his foolish act and said, "I was just about to go to your house to find you."
In the eyes of outsiders, he was a fool, and the old lady occasionally took care of him, so it seemed normal for him to visit the Lu family.
Shu Yu was curious and looked up to see Meng Yunzheng walking over.
However, his expression was slightly serious, and as soon as he approached, he said, "Something unexpected has happened. In half a month, the Shu family will be exiled, and you may need to return to Dong'an Prefecture a day or two earlier."
Shu Yu furrowed her brows. Half a month?
It had only been five or six days since their last discussion. Adding half a month, wouldn't that shorten the time by ten days or so compared to a month?
Originally, time was already short, and now it was even shorter.
Shu Yu recalled the ending of the novel and suddenly remembered that the Shu family's exile was scheduled for late August.
Late August, which meant from the 21st to the end of the month.
Subconsciously, Shu Yu had treated it as the end of the month, so she might be exiled on the 21st? In that case, the timing was just right.
