Chapter 810: Full-level Boss Dressed As a Peasant Girl
Chapter 810: Shu Yu Becomes the Village Lord
Shu Yu suddenly raised her head, expecting to be acquitted and returned to her hometown.
But what she didn't expect was that the Emperor, for the reason of her contribution in presenting the heating packs, actually bestowed upon her the title of Village Lord.
Village Lord!
She actually had a title now?
Shu Yu blinked her eyes, her mind momentarily blank. Could the heat packs have such a great effect?
After Master Shi finished reading, he saw her standing there in a daze and thought that she was overwhelmed by the surprise and couldn't react. He smiled and reminded her, "Lord Lu, won't you accept the edict?"
Shu Yu suddenly came back to her senses and quickly knelt down to express her gratitude, "Thank you, Your Majesty, long live, long live."
She carefully received the imperial edict, as if she was unsure, and glanced at it a few more times.
Meanwhile, outside the Zhuangzi, the villagers who had heard the entire process were all wide-eyed in shock.
What did they hear? Not only was Steward Lu acquitted, but she was also made the Village Lord?
The old lady's breathing became rapid with excitement as she tightly grasped Zhang's aunt's arm.
The latter looked bewildered, not caring even though her arm was being painfully squeezed.
She stared blankly at the figure that suddenly became tall inside the Zhuangzi, and the only thought that flashed through her mind was that it was a good thing the marriage between her family and the Lu family didn't happen.
Otherwise, based on the current situation, her son would definitely become a target, and the marriage would not proceed.
How could she have imagined that the person who had been exiled here not long ago would not only return to her hometown, but also become the envied Village Lord?
The people of Zhengdao Village were all in a flurry of discussions. Aunt Xue, on the other hand, felt as if she had been struck on the head, sitting on the ground with her body covered in sweat.
How could this happen? That wretched girl she bought, who was only meant to vie for favor, how could she be acquitted and become the Village Lord?
The people around Aunt Xue had gradually stood up, but she was still sitting on the ground with weak legs.
Her injured hand also began to ache, causing her to scream in pain.
"Ah..."
The sound was piercing and harsh, and everyone in the hall, including Cheng Daren, turned their heads to look outside.
"What's going on?" The county magistrate took the lead and stepped forward, frowning.
At this critical juncture, nothing should go wrong, otherwise, he, as the county magistrate, would find it hard to escape blame.
Wang Changdong shook his body and came to his senses, no longer caring about the content of the imperial edict. He hurriedly ran to the door to see what was happening.
When he saw Aunt Xue, his expression changed, and he said to the official by the door, "Cover her mouth and don't let her disturb the honorable gentlemen. Take her away and keep an eye on her."
He knew very well that this was the Aunt Shu who had bought the Lu girl from him before.
She actually didn't go to work today and came here to cause such a big commotion.
What did she want to do? Did she want to ruin Lu's good fortune?
With him around, that was impossible!
Aunt Xue wanted to say something, but Aunt Fang, who was standing by the door, took a quick step forward and covered her mouth. Then, the two officials took her away.
Wang Changdong breathed a sigh of relief and put on a smile again.
Then he said to the county magistrate, "Return, sir. It's just that a prisoner's hand was injured before and didn't fully heal. She came here to watch the excitement, and with so many people, she accidentally bumped into someone and couldn't bear the pain, so she screamed. I have already had someone take her back home to rest."
Wait, Wang Changdong said that Aunt Xue bought the Lu girl from him? Dang I didn’t realize that before
