At the Lu family’s place, the atmosphere was harmonious and very warm.

When the old lady saw Shu Yu finally come back, she let out a long sigh of relief. She had watched Shu Yu and the others descend the mountain, and after waiting a long time without seeing anyone, she began to worry.

Luckily, Meng Yunzheng and Zhao Xi also came down from the mountain and talked about the governor’s arrival. They guessed that the situation wouldn’t be resolved quickly, which calmed the old lady down.

The family’s meal was already prepared, and as they all sat down together, they began to inquire about the events that had taken place on the manor.

Hearing that Shu Yu had become the steward of the manor, the old lady was overjoyed, “Does that mean you don’t have to work so hard anymore? Oh, blessed be the heavens, blessed be.”

It was fortunate that she had agreed to Shu Yu’s plan to hunt the tiger in the mountains; otherwise, where would this good fortune have come from?

Shu Yu said with a smile, “That’s not all. The bailiff told me before I left that whenever the manor needs to go to the county town to make purchases, they might take me with them. Then I’ll be able to see Father and Mother more often.”

The old lady was even happier, “Good, good, good. From now on, you won’t have to work so hard, nor will there be any danger.”

On the side, Madam Hou was also somewhat excited, “So, does that mean you can leave the county town to visit us at the courier station in the future?”

“It should be possible.”

Madam Hou and the Sixth Young Lady exchanged looks. They had thought it would be extremely difficult to see each other again and weren’t sure when they would reunite. They hadn’t expected this pleasant surprise.

After dinner, Meng Yunzheng called Shu Yu out to the courtyard to talk, “I won’t be able to accompany you to the county town tomorrow.”

Shu Yu was somewhat puzzled, “What’s happened?”

Meng Yunzheng’s expression turned slightly solemn, “Earlier, I saw a familiar face among the governor’s guards. I need to investigate something and might have to leave for a few days.”

He paused, then added, “Zhao Xi is going with me.”

He had followed Shu Yu and the others down the mountain during the day and, after returning briefly to the Lu family, mingled with the crowd to join the spectacle at the manor.

Lord Cheng’s guards weren’t numerous, at least not in plain sight—there were only six of them.

Meng Yunzheng recognized one at a glance. He discreetly withdrew from the crowd and went straight back to the Lu family.

Upon hearing this, Shu Yu immediately frowned, “Is it very dangerous?”

Meng Yunzheng laughed, “It’s just a bit of investigating, not a life-or-death mission. It’s not very dangerous, don’t worry. I’ve told you before, I won’t let myself get too deeply entangled in those complex struggles.”

Hearing this, Shu Yu was slightly reassured.

“If there’s anything you need help with, tell me. Even though I’m not free to go many places, I can still put my mind to use.”

“I know,” Meng Yunzheng couldn’t help but reach out and tousle her smart head, “I’ll tell you everything.”

Before he finished speaking, a low cough suddenly came from nearby.

Shu Yu and Meng Yunzheng exchanged a glance and whispered, “It’s my Grandmother.”

Meng Yunzheng chuckled, “Alright, go rest.”

The two came out from around the corner, and sure enough, the old lady was standing in the courtyard, looking up at the sky, though it was pitch black; it was unclear what she was seeing.

Shu Yu gave Meng Yunzheng a push to send him back to his room, then she walked up to the old lady’s side.
