Chapter 831: Full-level Boss Dressed As a Peasant Girl
Chapter 831: Leaving Exile
The county town was also bustling with activity as news spread about Shu Yu becoming the village lord. Despite not living in the county town and most people not even knowing her, many visitors came to pay their respects.
Not to mention the neighbors, even those who were competitors and used to set up stalls with Ruan Shi came to visit.
Luckily, Shu Yu didn't know any of them, so she decided to stay at the Meng family's house to avoid any disturbances.
Even the people from the Huifeng Escort Agency came, and they even suggested escorting them to Dong'an Prefecture, but they were politely declined by Lu Erbai.
The Lu family had bought some local specialties, and now they had three carts, two mule carts, and Meng Yunzheng's carriage, which could carry a lot of things.
When everything was ready, the family planned to set off.
Early in the morning, Shu Yu went to the county yamen to see the county magistrate.
The county magistrate was very friendly to her and even prepared a gift for her. Shu Yu thanked him, and then the family left the county town.
Just as they reached the outskirts of the city, they saw a crowd of people waving at them by the city gate.
The Fang family, Ma Lu's family, Xu family, Zhang family siblings, Wang Changdong's family, the Escorts from the Huifeng Escort Agency, and some people who had a good relationship with the Lu family all came to see them off.
This farewell might be truly difficult to meet again.
Da Hu was the first to get teary-eyed, and Xu Zhensheng quickly ran over. The two little brothers embraced each other and whispered to each other, exchanging gifts.
In no time, Fang Xiyue also ran up with teary eyes, "Ah Yu, we prepared some dried meat and dried mushrooms for you to eat on the way. Take care of yourself. If you have a chance, come back and visit us."
Shu Yu patted her and said, "Yes, we will definitely have the opportunity. When you have free time, read some books and learn a bit more. We can write letters later."
"Okay."
After Fang Xiyue finished speaking, others also came forward one after another.
Wang Changdong was the last one to come. He looked a bit excited.
Just yesterday, he went to the county yamen. The county magistrate personally told him to choose one of the existing official positions on the estate to succeed, and he would work in the county yamen from now on.
Wang Changdong hadn't slept for most of the night, and there were still dark circles under his eyes.
He knew that he owed everything to Shu Yu's blessings.
So when Shu Yu was leaving, he also prepared a large package, "I don't have anything impressive to give, just a little token of my appreciation. Please accept it."
Shu Yu looked at the bulging package in front of her and didn't refuse, "Thank you."
It was getting late, and if they delayed any further, it would be noon.
Wang Changdong took a step back first and said to the others, "Alright, let's stop here. Let the village lord continue on her journey. It's already late, and they won't be able to find accommodation if they keep going in the night."
In fact, they could make it in time. Shu Yu planned to stay at the post station tonight.
Hou Shi probably didn't know that she was leaving yet, so before leaving, she had to go and see her.
The people seeing them off stepped back a few steps, and the Lu family's carriage slowly moved forward.
Xu Zhensheng watched the carriage get farther and farther away, then he quickly ran forward, waving his hand and bidding farewell to Da Hu.
After that, Fang Xiyue, Luo Qing, and a few others also ran a few steps before stopping when the carriage disappeared from sight.
"She's really gone." Wang Changdong murmured.
Although it had been several days, recalling it now still felt like a dream.
He stood in place for a long time, sighed, and said, "Alright, let's go back."
