Chapter 832: Full-level Boss Dressed As a Peasant Girl
Chapter 832: Aunt Xue, Gone
Shu Yu and her group didn't rush on their journey, so they weren't moving fast.
She organized all the things people had given her and realized they took up more than half of the carriage. She couldn't help but rub her temples.
She thought with so many carts, there would be no need to worry.
"Ah Yu, take a look at this." Suddenly, Grandma exclaimed beside her.
Shu Yu turned her head and saw the familiar package in Grandma's hands.
She remembered... it was the one the county magistrate had given her.
Then she looked at Grandma's other hand and saw a look of surprise on her face. "This cloak..."
It was a white fox fur cloak.
The county magistrate had actually given her such a good gift.
Shu Yu accepted it, feeling the softness and warmth in her hands. It was pure white, indicating its excellent quality.
Grandma was afraid she would accidentally damage it, so she quickly asked her to put it away. "I didn't expect the magistrate to be so thoughtful. Ah Yu, put it away quickly. If the carriage bumps and it gets hit, it would be a shame."
"Grandmother, it's not that exaggerated." After all, a cloak was meant to be worn, so it was normal for it to get bumped and hit, right?
That's what she thought, but seeing how nervous Grandma was, she put it away.
In this carriage, there were only her and Grandma, with Meng Yun Zheng driving in the front.
Da Ya and San Ya sat together, driven by Zhao Xi.
Ruan Shi and Da Hu sat on the last mule cart, driven by Lu Erbai.
The three carts formed a convoy and left Heichang County, heading straight for Linzhang Prefecture.
However, when it was past noon, the carriage stopped upon reaching the post station.
Shu Yu got off the carriage and said to Grandma, "This is the post station where Hou Shi and the others are staying."
Grandma had a good impression of Hou Shi, so she went in first to inquire about her.
When Hou Shi and Sixth Miss came over, they saw the Lu family members all neatly gathered in the courtyard.
She was instantly stunned. "Why... why are you all here? Did something happen?"
As soon as the words left her mouth, she saw the smiling faces of the Lu family members, as if they were in a good mood.
She immediately felt relieved. It seemed that even if something happened, it was a good thing.
Sure enough, Shu Yu took a few steps forward and said to her, "Aunt Hou, I'm leaving."
"Leaving? Where are you going?"
"Back to Dong'an Prefecture."
Hou Shi and her daughter's eyes widened in disbelief. They didn't mishear, Ah Yu said she was going back to Dong'an Prefecture? But... how was that possible?
Shu Yu said, "I have been acquitted of all charges."
She recounted everything, from presenting her invention of the heat packs to receiving the emperor's edict.
Hou Shi and her daughter were dumbfounded. Wasn't this development a bit too sudden?
Normally, she was a stable person, but at the moment, she felt a bit at a loss.
Ah Yu was leaving, and if that was the case, then she and her daughter would truly have no one to visit anymore.
However, for the Lu family, this was an opportunity they couldn't ask for. Naturally, they were happy for her.
Hou Shi remained silent for a while. After digesting the whole situation, she let out a long sigh and bid farewell to Shu Yu with some reluctance.
However, Shu Yu wasn't in a hurry to leave. She planned to stay here for the night, so she had plenty of time.
Hou Shi had met Zhao Xi before, but she had never had the chance to meet Meng Yunzheng. This was the first time she saw him, and she was curious about his relationship with Shu Yu.
But Shu Yu didn't mention it, so she quietly refrained from asking.
However, Meng Yunzheng was incredibly handsome, and Hou Shi couldn't help but pay a bit more attention to him.
As a result, Meng Yunzheng walked away, making Hou Shi suddenly feel embarrassed, thinking that her attention had made him uncomfortable.
She quickly averted her gaze, but soon Meng Yunzheng returned, bringing some news.
Aunt Xue, she was gone.
