Chapter 870: Full-level Boss Dressed As a Peasant Girl
Chapter 870: Shu Yu's Letter
Originally, according to their plan, she was just an ordinary peasant girl. Even if she was exiled, she wouldn't be considered an important person.
Her plan was to bring the heat packs she had made and present them to the emperor. At most, the emperor would know that there was a girl named Lu in the family. The greatest favor would be to grant her a pardon and allow her to return to Jiangyuan County to continue her life as a simple peasant girl.
The people in Jiangyuan County didn't know about her exile, and the exile location was far away, with no connection between the two.
This kind of Shu Yu wouldn't attract much attention. And even if she did, there was still Xiang Weinan. In a little over half a year, the Fifth Prince should ascend to the throne.
With all this, Shu Yu didn't have much to worry about.
However, the situation was different now. The news of her exile had spread throughout the county, and she had become a registered and capable county magistrate. Who knew if someone who disliked her would try to harm her?
Upon investigation, she discovered that there were discrepancies in the information she provided about her background in the southwest... No, it was more accurate to say that there were discrepancies in the information given to the emperor. That would be disastrous.
Instead of that, it was better to confess and seek leniency.
After all, she was someone with a life-saving talisman.
"A life-saving talisman? Who?" Xiang Weinan asked as soon as the words left his mouth, but he immediately understood. "The master of Dongqing Temple?"
Shu Yu nodded, and Xiang Weinan's mouth twitched. He couldn't help but feel sour. His master was quite calculating.
Xiang Weinan looked down at the letter in his hand. At the beginning, Shu Yu sincerely admitted her mistake and expressed gratitude to Qi Chan for the emperor's grace in response to the heat packs. However, she also concealed some things and felt guilty for betraying the emperor's and Qi Chan's trust. She couldn't sleep well at night. After much thought, she decided to write this letter to confess the circumstances and ask for forgiveness from the emperor.
As long as the emperor could forgive her, she was willing to give up the title of village lord and return to exile, laboring day after day to atone for her sins.
Upon reaching this point, Xiang Weinan couldn't help but raise his head. You really know what you're doing. You haven't even explained the situation yet, but you've sincerely admitted your mistake and even thought of an escape plan. In the meantime, you also mentioned the credit of presenting the heat pads.
After sincerely admitting her mistake, the letter continued with the explanation of the circumstances.
In the letter, she mentioned that she had recognized the master of Dongqing Temple as her master since the beginning of last year.
Very well, she never forgot to mention the master of Dongqing Temple.
Following that, she mentioned that she had discovered her true identity because of the Shu family's Pond and had escaped by chance. She had intended to seek refuge with her master. However, her master had given her an address and asked her to find her biological parents.
She had no choice but to follow her master's command.
Originally, she had only planned to take a look, but she didn't expect that the Lu family had been searching for her all this time, leading to their impoverished and difficult life. She felt the warmth of being cared for by her family and cherished the bond of kinship.
However, there was still a trace of fear in her heart, afraid that the Shu family would find her. She had been paying close attention to the situation of the Shu family.
When she learned that the entire Shu family had been imprisoned, as the adopted daughter of the Shu family, she knew that she was in danger. But she was also afraid of causing trouble for her reunited family, so she could only go to the capital alone, seeking advice from her master.
Little did she know that her master had already left, but he left her a note, only saying that if it was inevitable, she should go with the flow.
So she found a manor and tried to distance herself from the Lu family.
However, due to a twist of fate, news of her exile still reached her family. Her family didn't hesitate to leave their hometown and followed her despite the hardships, traveling thousands of miles to be with her.
