Chapter 869: Full-level Boss Dressed As a Peasant Girl
Chapter 869: The Grand House for Shu Yu
Since Lu Sanzhu had said so, Da Niu had no choice but to change direction and head towards the county yamen office.
At this moment, the entire Lu family had already met with Xiang Weinan.
Xiang Weinan couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration. He had thought that Miss Lu was extraordinary before, but now he realized that his vision was limited. Miss Lu was not just extraordinary, she was truly exceptional.
Even in a place like the exile, she had managed to turn the tables, not only befriending Master Qi but also presenting something that made people envious, which directly led to her appointment as the village lord. Impressive, truly impressive.
Shu Yu was there to register her household status. As the newly appointed village lord, it was natural for her to go through the registration process.
After Xiang Weinan looked at the imperial edict, he placed a key in front of her.
"This is the key to the grand three-gate courtyard house you mentioned. I specifically picked out a good location for you. How about going to take a look now?"
Upon hearing about the grand three-gate courtyard house, the rest of the Lu family couldn't help but be tempted. Their eyes were shining as they looked at the key.
However, Shu Yu thought about the original plan and said, "We need to go back to Shishi Village first. Let's do it another day. I'll take the key for now. Just give me the address."
Xiang Weinan mentioned the address, and after considering it, Shu Yu agreed that it was indeed a good location. It wasn't far from Ningshui Street, and it was even just one street away from the Ding family.
Shu Yu was very satisfied. Her guess was right. Xiang Weinan had indeed reserved a large courtyard for her.
"Alright, later I'll go to Shishi Village with Hu Li to announce the imperial edict to you."
After Xiang Weinan finished speaking, he called out to Hu Li and asked him to make the necessary preparations. Shu Yu's return to her hometown could be considered as a grand affair, and according to the process, the imperial edict needed to be announced once again in the registered location to avoid misunderstandings and rumors that she had returned secretly from the exile.
Seeing that everything was settled here, Shu Yu turned to the other members of the Lu family and said, "Mother, you all can wait outside and have some tea. I want to have a private conversation with Xiang Daren."
"Alright, take your time."
After the Lu family left, Xiang Weinan looked at her with curiosity. "What's the matter?"
"Master Qi should have been reinstated, right?"
Xiang Weinan laughed. "Of course."
Unlike the leisurely journey of the Lu family, Qi Chan had been urged to return to the capital. He left Heichang County earlier than Shu Yu. After returning to the capital, he thanked the emperor and regained his position at court.
Not only did he return to court in a grand manner, but he was also highly regarded by the emperor. It wouldn't be long before he would be promoted.
With this news, Shu Yu felt relieved. She then took out a letter from her sleeve. "Please deliver this letter to Master Qi."
"A letter?" Xiang Weinan was puzzled. "You're sending him a letter as soon as you return?"
"Yes."
"Do you need his help with something?" It seemed unlikely. She had returned to Jiangyuan County and even become the county magistrate. She shouldn't need anyone's help anymore.
Seeing his curiosity, Shu Yu couldn't help but smile. "You'll understand when you open it."
Xiang Weinan pointed at himself. "Can I read it?"
"Yes, you can."
Xiang Weinan hesitated for a moment, but couldn't resist his curiosity. He took out the letter from the envelope.
The content of the two pages was neither long nor short.
After a quick scan, Xiang Weinan's expression froze. He looked up in astonishment and asked, "You confessed to him about recognizing the Lu family in advance?"
"Not being honest can cause trouble." Shu Yu sighed, looking somewhat helpless.
