Chapter 772: Full-level Boss Dressed As a Peasant Girl
Chapter 772 - What Joyous Occasion Is Today?
Shu Yu's expression became somewhat strange, and she hesitated before saying, "I do want to remember, but there are so many scattered names of medicinal herbs that I can't memorize them all."
Medicinal herbs?
Qi Chan furrowed his brow, suspiciously unfolded the letter, and then his eyes became a little blurry.
He looked inside the envelope again and saw that there was no other paper, uncertainly asking, "Cheng Dong only entrusted you with this?"
Shu Yu nodded, "I don't know why he wanted me to deliver a list of medicinal herb names to the people in the Hetai Mansion. When I saw this, I found him even more suspicious, so I tied him up and brought him into the city."
Qi Chan pondered. It seemed that there were hidden implications in this thing.
That was fine too. Miss Lu didn't understand, and it wouldn't harm her.
"I understand. I will read this letter carefully. As for the matter concerning Cheng Dong, don't mention it to anyone when you return. Pretend you never encountered him, and he wasn't brought to me by you, understand?" Qi Chan said.
Shu Yu nodded. It was the same as what she had told Hou Shi.
Qi Chan stored the letter away. "Alright, leave the rest to me. You can go back now."
"I take my leave, sir."
Shu Yu left, and only then did Qi Chan look at the jar on the table, which was once again emitting smoke.
It seemed that even Linzhang Prefecture was not peaceful.
Cheng Dong was Gong Qiu's person. What exactly did Gong Qiu want to do? Why did he send someone to infiltrate prefect Cheng's side? Was his reach extending too far?
Qi Chan rubbed his temples. He had to send a letter to the capital to have someone keep an eye on Gong Qiu.
After Shu Yu handed over both items, she prepared to go home while leading the mule cart, feeling relaxed.
When she reached the doorstep, she saw Da Hu and San Ya sitting on the children's cart, playing and running around with the other kids in the alley.
Upon seeing Shu Yu, San Ya immediately asked the child pushing her to stop and came out of the cart herself. She didn't even care that the other children were clamoring to get on the cart and rushed over. "Second Sister, you're back?"
Da Hu also ran over. "Second Sister, why were you gone for so long? We've been waiting for you forever."
"Yeah, grandmother said that if you didn't come back soon, she would go outside the city to find you."
"Fortunately, Big Brother Meng said that he saw you go to the county yamen and should be talking to Mister Qi. That's why we were relieved."
"Big Brother Meng went to the restaurant and ordered a lot of food. He said today is a joyous occasion and we should have a hearty meal."
The little girl tilted her head, her brain going haywire. "But what joyous occasion is today? I can't figure it out. Big Brother Meng won't tell me either. My little head is going to explode."
Listening to her younger siblings, Shu Yu's heart warmed, and she smiled, saying, "As long as our family is reunited, that's a joyous occasion. Of course, we should have a hearty meal."
San Ya also realized, "Then let's hurry back and eat."
A few children called out to them, "San Ya, Da Hu, we still want to play with the cart."
Da Hu's expression turned serious. "Not today. Maybe tomorrow morning. We'll come and play again tomorrow. Today, we all have to go home for dinner."
The children were unwilling, wanting to persuade them further, but San Ya had already run over, pushing the cart back home.
Because Shu Yu was leading the mule cart, the children didn't dare to act up. Seeing that there was no cart left, they dispersed
