Chapter 656: Full-level Boss Dressed As a Peasant Girl
Qi Chan was quite surprised. "I didn't expect there to be such a convoluted story behind all this."
He looked at Prefect Cheng, who also seemed deep in thought. After a while, Prefect Cheng shook his head and said, "So, she is the adopted daughter of the Shu family."
Implying that although she had no blood relation to the Shu family, she had lived with them for many years. She couldn't escape her connection to the Shu family, who had been convicted and exiled. And such a relationship would have been thoroughly investigated by the officials who handled the Shu family's case.
However, precisely because of this relationship, there would still be room for maneuvering in the future.
Prefect Cheng looked at the young girl in front of him, seeing her spirited demeanor and her ability to venture into the deep mountains to hunt tigers. Who knows what great deeds she might accomplish in the future? There was still potential for her.
"However, since your family has already come here, we can change your household registration," Prefect Cheng said.
Changing her name and other details to separate her from the Shu family was something the Prefect could arrange.
He gave a brief order to the guard behind him, who acknowledged it, and thus the matter was settled.
Shu Yu's eyes lit up, and she quickly expressed her gratitude.
Prefect Cheng chuckled. "No need to thank me. I just happened to be here today and witnessed your successful hunt. Now, tell me, how did you manage to do it?"
"Yes." Shu Yu was confident and composed, unlike Ma Lu and the others who were still somewhat nervous. She was able to respond to Prefect Cheng's questions smoothly.
Back home, she occasionally told stories to her younger siblings, so recounting the process of hunting the tiger came naturally to her. She vividly described the thrilling and dangerous moments, capturing the curiosity of Prefect Cheng.
Others also listened with great interest, including Ma Lu and his companions who had experienced it firsthand. They even began to doubt whether they were as brave and valiant as Shu Yu described them to be.
At this moment, many people had gathered in the Zhuangzi to watch the spectacle. The villagers who had come along, however, were kept outside and couldn't enter. Although they couldn't hear everything clearly from a distance, they were still amazed and envious of Shu Yu's courageous tales.
The members of the Fifth Squad and Shu Feng, the two brothers, were also standing at the entrance of the Zhuangzi. Shu Feng had watched Hou Shi and Sixth Miss enter the Zhuangzi and was now standing in the middle of the main hall.
He furrowed his brow, feeling something strange. But then he thought about his good relationship with Shu Yu, and perhaps it was Shu Yu who allowed them to enter, so he no longer found it strange.
The tricky part now was that Shu Yu had actually ventured into the mountains and hunted a large beast. Even if she hadn't done it herself, she was still involved. And her luck was so good that she coincidentally encountered Prefect Cheng's visit.
This person was deep in scheming and was eagerly showing off in front of Prefect Cheng. Once she caught the attention of Prefect Cheng, the local officials in the Zhuangzi would undoubtedly be more considerate toward her in the future. It might not be easy to trouble her anymore.
Shu Feng and Shu Quan stood outside the crowd, their brows furrowed. Shu Yu had already finished recounting the events that took place in the mountains.
Prefect Cheng listened with great delight. This girl was truly extraordinary—she had the ability to enter the mountains and hunt formidable beasts, and her storytelling was so immersive that it made people feel like they were experiencing it firsthand. She was indeed worthy of being the person who saved Mr. Qi.
Prefect Cheng clapped his hands, laughing heartily. "Good, all of you did well. Your efforts will be rewarded. It's important to incentivize everyone to be proactive."
