Chapter 823: Full-level Boss Dressed As a Peasant Girl
Chapter 823: Wang Changdong's Thoughtfulness
Shu Yu couldn't help but laugh at Zhao Xi's desperation to avoid any association with Huifeng Escort Agency. He had reached this point of urgency?
Meng Yunzheng glanced at Zhao Xi and the latter blinked frantically at him.
In the end, Meng Yunzheng nodded. "Yes, I have connections."
Ultimately, he also didn't want to travel with people from Huifeng Escort Agency. It would be inconvenient in many ways.
Shu Yu thought of Meng Yunzheng's identity and nodded. "Yes, Dad, we will be more at ease on the road as a family."
Lu Erbai's expression was complicated. They were a family now?
But since the capable individuals all agreed, Lu Erbai no longer insisted. "Alright, let's go on our own then."
They discussed what items to bring back and decided to follow the same route they came. It was an official road, they were traveling in a spacious carriage, and they were familiar with the way, with relay stations and towns along the road that they had already become acquainted with.
As they were discussing happily, Meng Yunzheng suddenly heard some commotion outside and furrowed his brows. "There's someone outside."
"At this time, shouldn't those people working outside have gone home?" In other words, those people had heard about Shu Yu's situation and were likely coming to their house.
Lu Erbai knew very well what this kind of experience was like. When brother Yao had just received the imperial edict restoring his official position and hadn't left Heichang County yet, the scene was exactly like this.
Countless people came back and forth. They all came up with various excuses to get to know him. During that time, the Yao family was constantly busy and never had a moment of rest.
Lu Erbai had gone to deliver gifts twice and was directly blocked at the door.
Thinking about the scenes their family would face in the coming days, he suddenly felt overwhelmed.
"I'll go out and take a look," Shu Yu said as she stood up.
But when she opened the courtyard gate, she saw two familiar... officers.
"You..."
The two officers had moved two chairs and were sitting on either side of her house gate. When they saw the gate open, they turned their heads and smiled. "Village Chief Lu, the two of us received brother Wang's instructions and specially came here to guard. We don't want anyone to disturb your family reunion."
Shu Yu "..."
What should she say? Wang Changdong was so busy, yet he could still go to such lengths.
"Village Chief Lu, you just need to handle your own affairs. We reckon that your family will be quite busy these two days. With us here, unfamiliar people won't be able to disturb you. If anyone has urgent matters, they can knock on the door."
"Yes, Village Chief Lu, please go inside quickly. If there's anything, just let us know. When it's late and everyone rests, we'll leave."
Shu Yu was momentarily at a loss for words. This was Wang Changdong's goodwill, and she indeed needed it.
So she accepted this kindness and nodded. "Thank you then."
Afterwards, she went inside and brought some food and tea for the two officers.
The two officers expressed their gratitude and asked Shu Yu to close the courtyard gate again.
Wang Changdong's consideration was very thoughtful. If it weren't for these two officers, even if the workers had finished their work, they might not dare to come forward and greet Shu Yu, but they would still surround the entire Lu family.
Even with these two officers present, there were still many people outside poking their heads around, and those further away were discussing animatedly.
Among them were the members of the Shu family.
