Chapter 820: Full-level Boss Dressed As a Peasant Girl
Chapter 820: Going to Transport the Gold
Shu Yu burst into laughter. "Yes."
She walked towards the main hall, glanced at Meng Yunzheng standing nearby, and then looked at Lu Erbai and the others. "Mom, Dad, why did you come? I was planning to leave for the county."
Ruan Shi's eyes were red and teary. It was clear that she had cried tears of joy. She came over and held Shu Yu's hand. "Yunzheng came to tell us."
Meng Yunzheng said, "I've been paying attention to the news from the county office. Today, when it became so lively, I inquired a bit and found out that the Prefect magistrate had come. Later, I saw them heading towards Zhengdao Village, so I guessed that your matter had been resolved."
He thought that with the presence of the high-ranking officials, Ah Yu wouldn't be able to free up her time in the short term, so he went to find Lu Erbai first.
Upon hearing the news, the Lu family immediately dropped what they were doing. Ruan Shi and Da Ya stopped setting up their stall halfway.
At this moment, nothing was more important than whether Shu Yu would be acquitted.
After tidying up, they hurried over.
In fact, they had arrived a while ago, but at that time, there were many people outside the manor, and the high-ranking officials were still there. It wasn't convenient for them to appear, so they had to patiently wait at home.
However, they already knew the contents of the imperial edict.
But Meng Yunzheng actually knew about the imperial edict even before them because he had just received a letter from the capital this morning. The letter had detailed information about what had happened in the court. He had originally planned to come to Zhengdao Village today and deliver the letter to Shu Yu.
Since the Lu family had arrived, Shu Yu didn't need to rush to the county anymore.
When Lu Erbai and the others came, they had brought a lot of food. With such an important matter, it was only natural to celebrate.
Da Ya went to hang up the clothes, Grandma took Ruan Shi to the kitchen to work, and Lu Erbai prepared to sort things out. He took out the things that they didn't plan to bring along and would give them to Fang family or anyone else who needed them.
Shu Yu asked Da Hu if he wanted to go and see Xu Zhensheng. It just so happened that the Xu family had returned. Da Hu nodded eagerly. He had a lot to say to his good friend and needed to bid him farewell properly.
So, Zhao Xi took Da Hu and San Ya to the Xu family.
As for Shu Yu, she led the mule cart with Meng Yunzheng to the manor to bring back the gold and medicinal herbs that had been rewarded to her.
They encountered many people on the way, and everyone wanted to establish a relationship with Shu Yu. However, the change in her status made everyone feel uncomfortable, and since they weren't very familiar with her before, they didn't dare to approach her. They just greeted her from a distance.
A few brave individuals came forward to talk to her, but Shu Yu was busy and had no time for idle chat, especially since she didn't even know them. It was awkward and meaningless to engage in such conversations.
She simply climbed onto the cart with Meng Yunzheng and picked up the pace.
Finally, when they arrived at the estate, Shu Yu let out a sigh of relief.
Meng Yunzheng chuckled. "It's still alright now. Once you return to Jiangyuan County, you'll encounter even more enthusiastic people."
The thought of that scene made Shu Yu feel overwhelmed.
It seemed that as her status rose, there would be more socializing to do.
She shook her head and, together with Meng Yunzheng, moved the boxes onto the cart.
When Wang Changdong heard that they had encountered many villagers along the way, he immediately volunteered, "I'll clear the way for you on the journey back." There was quite a bit of gold in the cart, and they couldn't afford any accidents.
