Chapter 807: Full-level Boss Dressed As a Peasant Girl
Chapter 807: News from the Capital City
Wang Changdong and Shu Yu left, leaving the other girls by the riverside exchanging glances.
What did they hear just now? The prefect magistrate and the County Magistrate have both come looking for Miss Lu?
"Could it be that Miss Lu has caused trouble, and the two officials have come to question her?"
Someone suddenly spoke, and the others turned their heads to look at Qing Qing.
If it was true that Miss Lu had committed a crime, the Lu family wouldn't be able to escape punishment. In that case, would she still be willing to marry into the Lu family?
Qing Qing's expression changed under their gaze. She gritted her teeth and said, "Let's not speculate without evidence. It might not be that Miss Lu has caused trouble. Maybe she has done something good. Last time, she killed the big tiger and received a reward from the Governor, becoming responsible for managing the Zhuangzi."
"You dare to think so much. Last time was just a coincidence. Besides, it wasn't only her who killed the big tiger. She simply benefitted from Ma Lu and the others. Moreover, what kind of great deed would she have to do to make two high-ranking officials come specifically to see her? It's the prefect magistrate we're talking about, a busy person with numerous affairs to attend to. Would he condescend to visit a criminal in the village?"
Xiao Qiao sneered, her tone dripping with sarcasm, and there was a hint of amusement in her attitude.
Qing Qing's face turned pale. She took a deep breath and said, "What's the use of speculating like this? Let's go and see for ourselves."
The others nodded in agreement. "Yes, yes, let's go and find out what's really going on."
Even if it wasn't about Lu Shu Yu, they still wanted to meet the prefect magistrate and the County Magistrate.
Several girls picked up their clothes basins and hurriedly followed, walking quickly, afraid of falling behind and missing out on the excitement.
Shu Yu was unaware of the gossip behind her. As she walked with Wang Changdong halfway, she saw Grandma coming over as well.
"Grandma." She paused and waited for Grandma to catch up before saying, "Take your time, no need to hurry. This path is uneven."
Wang Changdong was about to go crazy. So many important people were waiting at the Zhuangzi. How could they afford to be slow?
Grandma grabbed Shu Yu's hand excitedly and whispered, "Is it true? Is it true that there's news from the capital city?"
Shu Yu smiled. "It should be."
Moreover, most of it was good news. Otherwise, Qi Chan would have sent someone to inform her in advance.
Grandma's eyes sparkled. She took a deep breath and tidied her hair and clothes.
Wang Changdong looked at them suspiciously. Grandma said... news from the capital city? What did she mean?
"Miss Lu, do you know why the prefect magistrate and the others have come to find you?" Wang Changdong had no idea, but he knew the prefect magistrate and the others had come with joy, suggesting that it might be good news. That's why he had rushed to find her.
But hearing this, did the Lu family know themselves?
Shu Yu looked at Wang Changdong with a smile. "Brother Wang, you've got me there. How would I know the reason the prefect magistrate and the others have come? I'm just guessing based on your happy appearance."
Wang Changdong glared at her in annoyance. Who was she trying to fool? Guessing? Who would have guessed it was related to the capital city?
But it wasn't strange that she didn't say anything. After all, she would find out the exact situation when she met the officials.
"Let's hurry then and not keep the officials waiting."
Shu Yu nodded and held Grandma's hand. She restrained her expression, walking steadily toward the Zhuangzi.
