Chapter 681: Full-level Boss Dressed As a Peasant Girl
In the afternoon, when Shu Yu went out shopping, she deliberately took a detour to the entrance of the county yamen.
She noticed that the guard at the county yamen's gate had been replaced, and interestingly enough, it was the same person she had seen yesterday, one of the guards accompanying the prefect magistrate.
This was intriguing. She thought the prefect magistrate would be inspecting other places today, but it seemed that he was directly targeting the county magistrate of Heichang County.
If the county magistrate was in trouble, would his nephew, the county magistrate's nephew, be safe?
Just as Shu Yu was thinking about this, she saw Carpenter Yao, who was sitting next to Lu Erbai, suddenly put down his chopsticks and look at her eagerly. He asked, "You said the prefect magistrate has arrived? In Heichang County?"
Shu Yu nodded. "Yes, he actually arrived last night. What's the matter?"
"How did you know he arrived last night?"
Shu Yu replied, "I saw him yesterday, and he even rewarded me."
Carpenter Yao's eyes brightened even more. "You... You saw him? Did you see who was with him? Did you see a Mr. Qi?"
Shu Yu was surprised that this person actually knew Mr. Qi.
"I do know Mr. Qi."
Carpenter Yao suddenly stood up, his expression fluctuating between wanting to laugh and restraining himself. "It's true, Mr. Qi has indeed come with the governor. No, I have to go find him."
Saying that, he turned to Lu Erbai and said, "Brother Lu, I'm sorry, but I have urgent matters to attend to. I'll leave the meal. Excuse me."
He also apologized to the elderly lady and others, then turned around and left the kitchen.
Lu Erbai was stunned. How could this be? How could he just leave like that?
"Hey, wait a moment. Brother Yao, what are you going to do?"
It was late at night, and Lu Erbai didn't want anything to happen after hearing that the governor had arrived.
Lu Erbai quickly caught up with Carpenter Yao and, when he reached the kitchen door, he turned to Shu Yu and the others, saying, "Ah Yu, you all should eat. Don't go hungry. I'll go see what's going on and be back soon. Don't wait for me."
After saying that, he ran off, leaving the Lu family members in the kitchen looking at each other in confusion.
Shu Yu looked at the seat where Carpenter Yao had been sitting, furrowing her brow, and turned to Ruan Shi, asking, "Mother, who is this Carpenter Yao?"
Ruan Shi was also bewildered. She shook her head. "I don't know."
The elderly lady glanced at her sideways. "What use are you? Why don't you ask your husband?"
Ruan Shi... She had no answer to that. It wasn't appropriate for her to ask her husband about other men.
The elderly lady snorted lightly. "Enough, let's eat. When your father comes back, we can ask him."
Then she told Ruan Shi, "Take a bowl and set aside some food for your husband. Heat it up when he returns and let him eat."
"Alright, Mother."
The family didn't wait for Lu Erbai. They finished their dinner and cleaned up their bowls and chopsticks. It was only then that Lu Erbai returned.
Seeing that he didn't seem to have any other matters aside from looking a bit tired, Shu Yu felt relieved.
She went to the kitchen to heat up the food for Lu Erbai and placed it on the table. "Father, have your meal."
Lu Erbai ate while looking up. "You want to ask about Brother Yao, don't you?"
Shu Yu nodded. "You eat first. You've had a long day, and it's better to have a full stomach before talking."
Lu Erbai chuckled. "Alright, I'll follow your advice."
After he finished his meal and had a cup of hot tea, he motioned for Shu Yu to sit across from him. He began, "Brother Yao, he was also exiled here."
