Chapter 686: Full-level Boss Dressed As a Peasant Girl
Lu Erbai smiled. It was probably because Ah Yu had returned and her worries had been resolved that things at home were gradually improving.
But if you really thought about it, the truth was that Grandma doted on Ah Yu the most among the grandchildren.
"In fact, you're quite similar to Grandma in temperament."
Ah Yu turned her head. "Similar?"
Grandma's words could choke a person. She had a certain art of speaking.
"Similar," Lu Erbai confirmed.
As they chatted, they walked towards the county yamen.
The entrance to the yamen seemed normal, as if nothing had happened inside.
If Ah Yu didn't recognize the guard who was stationed there, she probably wouldn't know.
"It seems like nothing's happening," Lu Erbai said with a frown after looking outside for a while. "Maybe brother Yao hasn't arrived yet? But it's already this hour. Considering how urgent he seemed yesterday, it doesn't seem likely that he would be able to wait."
Ah Yu observed her father's cautious behavior. Yes, she could confirm that her father wasn't suitable for tasks like surveillance and investigation.
The guard stationed at the gate had already looked over at them.
"Dad, if you want to know, why don't you go and ask?" Ah Yu suggested.
"Ask? Ask who? Will they tell us?" Lu Erbo replied.
"Dad, you wait here for a moment. I'll go and ask," Ah Yu said.
Before Lu Erbai could react, she took a few quick steps forward and stood in front of the guard.
The guard naturally recognized her. He had seen Lu Erbai lingering outside for quite a while, looking suspicious. If it weren't for seeing Miss Lu beside him, he would have approached and questioned him.
Upon seeing Ah Yu approach, he nodded slightly. "Miss Lu."
Ah Yu smiled. "Brother, I want to inquire if anyone came here looking for Master Cheng or Mr. Qi just now."
The guard hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Indeed, someone did come, but that person has already been driven away."
"Driven away?"
The guard nodded. The county magistrate had important matters to attend to. It wasn't as if anyone could just meet with him, especially when the other party couldn't even state the purpose of the visit. It was even less likely that they would be allowed inside.
For unimportant individuals, it wouldn't be appropriate to let them linger in the county yamen.
Ah Yu thanked him and stepped back a few steps, returning to Lu Erbai's side. She whispered, "The guard at the gate said that someone did come, but they were driven away. We don't know if that person was Uncle Yao or not."
Lu Erbai breathed a sigh of relief. "Then he must have gone home."
"Is Uncle Yao's house far from here?"
"Not far, just two streets away. We'll be there soon."
So the two of them decided to visit Uncle Yao's house.
But just as they arrived at the door of house, they heard a woman's sobbing from inside.
Ah Yu and Lu Erbai exchanged glances, and the latter immediately stepped forward and knocked on the door.
After a while, a young man a few years older than Ah Yu opened the door. Seeing Lu Erbai, he gave a bitter smile. "Uncle Lu."
Lu Erbai was shocked to see the redness in the young man's eyes. "What happened? What's wrong?"
The young man stepped aside. "Please come in, Uncle Lu."
Ah Yu followed behind Lu Erbai into the house and saw an older woman leaning against a young woman, trembling as she sobbed.
She scanned the room but didn't see Uncle Yao.
This was... strange.
