Meng Yunzheng thought to himself, no wonder she asked me to talk to the leading official and ask for his cooperation.
If he didn't cooperate, given her current situation, it was unlikely that they would arrange a prison cart for her. She would probably just end up walking with a single official escorting her in front or behind, without the possibility of getting a prison cart.
"Okay, I understand. I'll arrange it for you," Meng Yunzheng replied.
Lu Erbai turned his head to look at Meng Yunzheng, a puzzled expression on his face. How would he arrange it? What's the plan?
With the matter settled, Meng Yunzheng was about to take Lu Erbai to leave when the latter suddenly snapped back to reality, remembering the burden he carried on his person. He hurriedly took it off and said, "Ah Yu, this is prepared for you. Inside is..."
He paused for a moment, then dejectedly put his hand down. "Forget it, you can't carry it with you anyway."
During their conversation earlier, Lu Erbai gained a more intuitive understanding of exile. If Ah Yu had inexplicably carried so many things with her, it would definitely be discovered by someone.
Lu Erbai simply rummaged through the burden and took out the silver bills she had left for her earlier, handing them to her. "But you can still hide the silver bills on your clothes. If those officials treat you poorly along the way, you can bribe them with some money."
Shu Yu looked at the silver bills in her hand and shook her head with a smile. "Father, didn't I tell you? I have money." She looked at Meng Yunzheng. "Here, all my money is with him. He has been taking care of everything for me along the way."
Lu Erbai said, "You left all the money at home. How much money do you have? What if it's not enough?"
Shu Yu looked at Meng Yunzheng again, and he coughed softly, whispering, "Uncle Lu, Miss Lu has 25,500 taels of silver. It should be enough."
Lu Erbai: "..." How much???
Shu Yu helplessly said, "Father, as I mentioned before, I will try to return home within six months. I'm not joking. So, I will save enough money for myself, and when I reach the southwest, I'll take care of things. That way, I'll be able to return home sooner. 25,500 taels should be enough."
Lu Erbai swallowed his saliva and nodded blankly.
Shu Yu indeed couldn't stay any longer. She bid farewell to the two of them and returned to her room under the cover of darkness.
After Shu Yu left, Meng Yunzheng brought Lu Erbai, who was still in a daze, outside.
After bringing Lu Erbai to the side of the carriage, Meng Yunzheng said to Zhao Xi, "Wait for me here. I'll go talk to the leading official about something."
Zhao Xi waved his hand, and Meng Yunzheng left.
Zhao Xi turned around, wanting to ask Lu Erbai how she was doing, but when he turned his head, he saw a complex expression on his face.
"Uncle Lu, what's wrong with you? Didn't you see Miss Lu? does something's not right with her?"
Lu Erbai had already come to his senses. He now felt that things were a bit unreal, and his mood... was very complicated.
"No, Ah Yu is doing well." Although the room was dim, once he adjusted, he could see that Ah Yu wasn't in a terrible state. She was in good spirits, and Lu Erbai felt more at ease.
However...
He couldn't help but look at the burden in his hand. Zhao Xi followed his gaze and immediately understood. "The burden wasn't sent out? It's alright, Uncle Lu. You know I'm a doctor, with the medicine I gave her, she won't even sneeze. As for money, let's not even mention it. Miss Lu has plenty of money."
Lu Erbai turned his head. "You also know how much money she has?"
On second thought, it was true. Meng Gongzi and Doctor Zhao have always been together. It would be strange if they didn't know.
