Chapter 785: Full-level Boss Dressed As a Peasant Girl
Chapter 785: Definitely Guilty
Shu Yu couldn't understand why her master always had someone else relay messages and refused to meet her in person. Last time, when her identity was exposed, her master didn't approach her until after completing the task.
She had reason to suspect that her master felt guilty and was afraid she would hold her accountable. So instead of finding her in Zhengdao Village, she simply gave up and didn't bother searching.
"Always causing trouble," Shu Yu huffed, leading the mule into the city.
It was New Year's Eve, and the entrance to the city was particularly crowded.
But as soon as she entered through the city gate, she saw a familiar figure standing by the gate.
Shu Yu was momentarily stunned and hurriedly led the mule over. "You're back?"
Meng Yunzheng smiled and replied, "As promised, we returned before the New Year."
Shu Yu had three black lines sliding down her forehead. Yes, they did come back before the New Year, but it was only a few hours difference.
"I heard from your grandmother that you received news about the master of Dongqing Temple and came out to look for someone." Meng Yunzheng glanced behind her. "Didn't find the master?" He didn't seem surprised.
After all, in his eyes, the master of Dongqing Temple was a bit elusive, appearing and disappearing at will.
Shu Yu sighed. "Yeah, somehow she managed to walk so fast on two legs. I have no idea where she went."
She had even searched the nearby Taoist temple but didn't find anyone.
Meng Yunzheng led her donkey over. "If the master doesn't want to meet, it's natural not to find her."
"It doesn't matter to me whether I meet her or not, but weren't you looking for her all along? If you can't find her, how do you explain it to the Fifth..." Shu Yu lowered her voice. "To the Fifth Prince?"
"No explanation is needed. He sought out the master just to get a result."
Result? What result? Wasn't it just to find out whether she had succeeded in ascending to the throne?
She knew about that.
The Fifth Prince was the ultimate winner, and without the master's calculation, she was well aware of the outcome.
Meng Yunzheng said, "Even if the result is not to his liking, it doesn't mean he would give up that position. He wouldn't. So I think it's better not to find the master. If the divination result is not ideal, it could actually affect his plans and mentality."
Shu Yu thought it made sense. No wonder Meng Yunzheng didn't seem particularly eager when it came to the master of Dongqing Temple.
But if the result was favorable, it would be like giving the Fifth Prince a shot in the arm.
She spun her eyes around. "How about we say the master already divined the result, and it's extremely auspicious?"
Meng Yunzheng paused. "..."
Can you really come up with such an exaggeration?
Shu Yu covered her face. "I was joking. Hehe. Anyway, I need to make a quick visit to Wang Changdong's house."
"Why?" Meng Yunzheng asked.
"When I heard about the master's news, I rushed out without asking for details about her situation. I want to inquire about it now."
"I'll accompany you."
He said he would accompany her, but when they arrived at the entrance of Wang's house, Meng Yunzheng stopped and didn't enter. He stood outside, holding the donkey's reins, while Shu Yu went alone to knock on the door.
Standing at the door, she could hear the lively noise from inside.
At this hour, it should be the time for family reunion and the New Year's Eve dinner. If she wasn't so anxious, she wouldn't have come at this moment to disturb them.
Taking a deep breath, Shu Yu still knocked on the door.
Soon, a middle-aged woman in her forties came to open the door. She was momentarily surprised to see a young lady outside. "Whom are you looking for?"
"I'm looking for Wang Changdong, Big Brother Wang," Shu Yu smiled and replied.
