Chapter 451: The Arrangement for Shu Yu
While the Lu family was busy finding ways to hide the two thousand taels of silver, Shu Yu had already halted her horse outside the city.
A familiar figure stood beside a carriage parked pahead of her.
Upon seeing her, Meng Yunzheng approached and nodded at her without saying a word. He then glanced at the two "female bodyguards" standing behind her.
Shu Yu dismounted and said to the two female bodyguards, "Thank you both for accompanying me this far. Please convey my gratitude to your superior when you return."
"The Miss can take care of herself." The two women glanced at Meng Yunzheng before turning their horses around and riding away, taking Shu Yu's horse with them.
They didn't return to Jiangyuan County to avoid being seen by the Lu family and exposing their plan.
Once they had distanced themselves, Zhao Xi emerged from the carriage, smiling at Shu Yu. "Miss Lu, please get on the carriage."
Shu Yu smiled and gracefully climbed onto the carriage shaft.
Zhao Xi, wearing a hat, sat on the outside to drive the carriage, allowing the two of them to converse inside.
The carriage rattled as it headed towards Dong'an Prefecture. Meng Yunzheng handed her a water pouch. "Have some water."
Shu Yu drank the water, took a brief rest, and then looked outside at the scenery.
She had traveled this road before when she first arrived at Jiangyuan County. At that time, she didn't care much. But now, with her heart filled with concerns, she felt that this journey was passing by especially quickly.
She retracted her gaze and leaned against the carriage wall.
Meng Yunzheng knew she was feeling uneasy and remained silent, waiting until she had regained her composure before speaking. "The carriage will reach Dong'an Prefecture by evening. Someone will be waiting outside the city to receive you. Or if you have any other place you want to go, we can speed up."
Last time, it took Shu Yu a full day of fast riding to travel from Dong'an Prefecture to Jiangyuan County.
This time, the carriage driven by Meng Yunzheng had good performance, allowing for even faster speed.
In fact, if they had departed one day earlier, the journey would have been easier. However, Shu Yu was unwilling. She didn't want to leave until the very last moment.
"No need," Shu Yu shook her head. "Besides the Shu family, the only place I am familiar with in Dong'an Prefecture is Dongqing Temple. Since the Shu family has fallen, and my master is not there, there is no need. Let's go directly to the prefectural government."
Meng Yunzheng nodded. "Alright, after we drop you off, Lord Jing's men will come to escort you to the prefectural government. Once you arrive at the yamen, the second prince and the third prince's people will definitely question you about where you have been all these days. Don't be afraid, Lord Jing will be in control of the situation."
Shu Yu listened attentively.
Meng Yunzheng explained in detail, "Your identity as a disciple of Dongqing Temple and your registered residence should not be revealed. So if they ask, say that you don't have a registered residence and cannot travel too far. After escaping the Shu family's attempt on your life, you were afraid and fled the city. Being unfamiliar with other places, you didn't dare to go too far and sought help at a farmhouse outside the city."
"That farmhouse is managed by a couple who have been childless throughout their marriage. They almost forgot about the property,
but they took a liking to you when they saw you and treated you like their own daughter. You have been living there for the past few months because you were afraid that the Shu family wouldn't let you go and even avoided leaving the farmhouse."
"Later, when you heard about the trouble in the Shu family and that they had all been arrested, you finally felt at ease and ventured out for a couple of days, only to be discovered and captured by Lord Jing's men."
Shu Yu nodded as she listened. When she reached a certain point, she looked up and asked, "What happened to that couple in the farmhouse?"
