Chapter 875: Full-level Boss Dressed As a Peasant Girl

 Chapter 875: Nervous Fan Zhongzheng


Lu Sanzhu expressed his satisfaction as well. His son had inherited his cleverness, knowing that establishing a good relationship with the Second Branch would bring benefits.


"Come, come, let's go inside," Lu Erbai opened the courtyard gate.


Just as they were about to enter, they saw a group of people approaching from another direction.


Leading the group were Lu Dasong and Fan Zhongzheng. When they saw that it was indeed the old lady and Shu Yu, Lu Dasong hurriedly walked a few steps forward. "Mother, Second Brother, it's really you! You've really come back?"


Fan Zhongzheng was a step behind. He glanced around and not only saw the Lu family's Second Branch but also... County Magistrate?


Fan Zhongzheng's legs weakened. Why was the County Magistrate here?


Behind him, besides the elderly villagers, there was also a large crowd of villagers who wanted to see the commotion.


They didn't recognize the County Magistrate, but they recognized Hu Li, who was standing next to Xiang Weinan. Someone immediately whispered softly, "Did the official come too? Maybe he heard the news and came to arrest someone?"


"Are you stupid? If he really wanted to arrest someone, would he just stand there?"


"Is the official here with the Lu family?"


"I see. That Lu family Second Miss is, after all, a criminal. She might have something very important to do in the village, so there's an official accompanying her to keep an eye on her. I think the Lu family Second Miss is just here briefly and will return to the Southwest later."


After hearing these words, the crowd actually thought that what this person said made some sense.


At the moment, this answer seemed to be more in line with the current situation.


Fan Zhongzheng also overheard it and his expression changed rapidly as he pondered quickly in his mind.


He hoped it was for this reason. At least it would prove that Lu Shuyu hadn't returned from the Southwest on her own. She wasn't a fugitive and wouldn't bring trouble to Shishi Village.


His steps were slow, but he had already arrived in front of them.


Fan Zhongzheng respectfully bowed first. "I am Fan Zhongzheng, the village chief of Shangshi Village. I greet the County Magistrate. I apologize for not welcoming you from afar, Your Excellency."


The villagers behind him, upon hearing the official's identity, became somewhat nervous and hurriedly imitated Fan Zhongzheng's manner of bowing.


Xiang Weinan waved his hand. "No need for so much formality."


Fan Zhongzheng noticed a hint of joy in his expression. In that case, the County Magistrate's visit shouldn't be for anything bad, right? Fan Zhongzheng wanted to find out the purpose of Xiang Weinan's visit, but he didn't know how to bring it up.


Fortunately, Lu Erbai came over. "Village chief, you don't have to stand here. Come in and rest your feet for a while. Your Excellency, please come inside as well."


Shu Yu and the others had already entered the house. The house had been unoccupied for some time, but during the New Year, the First and Third Branches had come to help clean it. However, there was still some dust in the house, so they temporarily sat in the courtyard.


Ruan Shi took some clean cloths from the mule-drawn carriage and wiped a few stools, placing them in the courtyard for Xiang Weinan, the village chief, and the others to sit and chat.


The village chief frowned when he saw this. Wasn't this too much of an inconvenience for the County Magistrate? The problem was that the Lu family had nothing now, not even tea to offer the County Magistrate. Wasn't it inappropriate?


But it seemed that Xiang Weinan didn't mind, so he didn't say anything.


Lu Erbai welcomed them, and Lu Dasong took the opportunity to pull Da Niu aside and ask about the situation. "What's going on? How did Shu Yu and the others come back? Nothing happened, right?"


Da Niu smiled. "Father, don't worry. Shu Yu coming back is a good thing. You'll find out soon."


As they were talking, there was a commotion outside.
