Fully Leveled Bigshot Becomes A Farmgirl

Chapter 772: Chapter 772: What a Joyous Day It Is Today Chapter 772: Chapter 772: What a Joyous Day It Is Today Shu Yu’s expression turned a bit odd as she hesitated and said, “I did want to remember it, but there are so many of those medicinal herb names, and they’re so scattered, I can’t remember them all.”

Medicinal herbs? Medicinal herb names?

Qi Chan frowned, looked at the letter with suspicion, and then, his eyes started to blur.

He checked inside the envelope again, certain there was no other paper inside, and asked uncertainly, “The only thing Cheng Dong gave you is this?”

Shu Yu nodded, “I also don’t know why he wanted me to deliver a list of medicinal herbs to someone at Hetai Prefecture. Seeing this, I felt even more suspicious of him, so I tied him up and brought him into the city.”

Qi Chan seemed thoughtful; it appeared that there were hidden codes in this item.

That was just as well; Lady Lu doesn’t understand it, which is no harm to her.

“I understand now. I’ll take a good look at this letter. Regarding Cheng Dong, after you go back, don’t mention him to anyone. Pretend you never met him, and he wasn’t brought here by you, got it?”

Shu Yu nodded; this was the same as what she had told Madam Hou.

Qi Chan put away the letter, “All right, leave the rest to me. You can go back now.”

“I’ll take my leave now, teacher.”

Shu Yu left, and only then did Qi Chan turn his gaze back to the pot on the table that had started to steam again.

It seems, even in Linzhang Prefecture, things are not peaceful.

Cheng Dong is a man of Gong Qiu, Minister of Public Works. What exactly is Gong Qiu trying to do? Why would he place someone to infiltrate Lord Cheng’s side? Is he overreaching?

Qi Chan rubbed his temples. He had to send a letter to the capital, putting someone on Gong Qiu’s tail.

After handing over both items, Shu Yu felt much relieved as she prepared to return home with the mule carriage.

When she returned, she had to thoroughly clean the carriage; there were still bloodstains under the seat, which really didn’t look good.

When she reached her doorstep, she saw Dahu and Sanya sitting on a child’s toy vehicle, playing with a few other kids from the alley.

Upon seeing Shu Yu, Sanya immediately had the child pushing her to stop, jumped out of the car without concerning herself with the other kids scrambling for a turn, and rushed over, “Big Sister, you’re back?”

Dahu also came running, “Big Sister, why were you gone for so long? We’ve been waiting for ages.”

“Yes, Grandmother said if you didn’t come back soon, she’d go look for you outside the city.”

“Thankfully, Brother Meng said he saw you go to the county office and should be talking to Mister Qi, so we could relax.”

“Brother Meng also ordered a lot of food from the restaurant, saying today is a day of great celebration and we should eat something sumptuous.”

The little girl spoke, then tilted her head, “But what’s the celebration today?”

She racked her brains but couldn’t figure it out; Brother Meng wouldn’t tell her, and her little head was about to explode.

Listening to her little brother and sister talk back and forth, Shu Yu felt a warm feeling in her heart and smilingly said, “Any day our family is together is a day of great celebration, so of course, we should eat something sumptuous.”

Sanya thought about it and agreed, “Then let’s hurry back and have our meal.”

A few kids called out to them, “Sanya, Dahu, we still want to play with the cart.”

Dahu said with a serious expression, “Not today. Maybe tomorrow. Come back and play in the morning; we all need to go home and eat today.”

The kids were reluctant and wanted to keep making their case, but by then Sanya had already run over, pushing the cart back home.

With Shu Yu there leading the mule carriage, those kids did not dare to be too persistent. Seeing the cart taken away, they scattered.
