Fully Leveled Bigshot Becomes A Farmgirl

Chapter 812: Chapter 812 When to Return Home

Shu Yu probably had an idea, but she still needed to confirm with Qi Chan.

The latter smiled, “This is all thanks to your blessing. I too have been reinstated and will depart for the capital with Lord Qian and others once I’ve handled everything here in a few days.”

Shu Yu was delighted, “Then I congratulate you here, Lord.”

Qi Chan waved his hand, “Mutual congratulations. Speaking of which, it’s largely thanks to you. Otherwise, I might not have been able to return to the capital.”

“You’re too polite, Lord. With your skills and knowledge, you would have returned even without me.”

“You should still call me teacher. Here, it sounds more pleasant to hear ‘teacher.ʼ”

“Teacher.” Shu Yu readily agreed, but she was curious about something else, “Teacher, the Heating Pack was presented to His Majesty, and my release was not surprising. But, isn’t this title of Village Chief a bit too sudden?”

Normally, they would just reward more money or maybe a plaque with some inscription, that’s the usual way.

Qi Chan laughed, “Actually, I feel it’s strange too.”

His Majesty doesn’t seem so generous, and in his eyes, Shu Yu is just a criminal from a remote place, a woman from Lu Corporation. Her contribution with the Heating Pack was commendable, but being released is already a gracious act, let alone additional rewards.

But he actually granted an extra title of Village Chief.

Qi Chan stroked his chin, “I’ll inquire about this when we return to the capital, but in any case, it’s good news for you.”

She’s a young lady, not involved in court affairs, even if she becomes a Village Chief, she wouldn’t block anyone’s path.

Qi Chan reassured her, then thoughtfully asked, “Now that you’re no longer a criminal from the exile area and don’t need to work, you can return to Jiangyuan County anytime. Have you thought about when you’ll start your journey home?”

“Although I don’t need to work, I still need to find someone at the Manor to take over and complete the handover of the registers. I guess it won’t take more than ten days. Any later, and the weather will start to get warm, making it difficult to travel.”

Qi Chan nodded, “That makes sense. After today, we’ll part ways, and who knows when we will see each other again. I quite enjoyed our rapport, and you’ve always surprised me. Speaking of which, I still owe you a favor and now I don’t even know when I’ll be able to repay it.”

“Not repaying it means I haven’t encountered any serious trouble, and I hope things keep going smoothly.”

Qi Chan laughed heartily, “That’s fair, but you’ve helped me many times. It doesn’t need to be trouble; you can approach me anytime without any cause.”

After finishing, Qi Chan handed her a piece of paper, “This is the address of the Qi Family in the capital. If you have a chance to visit the capital, come find me there.”

Shu Yu took it unhesitatingly, “Then thank you, Teacher.”

This is Lord Tutor from the capital, deeply trusted by the Emperor, a great backer, and it’s good to be on good terms with him.

Shu Yu and Qi Chan finished their conversation, and Lord Cheng and others returned from their stroll, their expressions indicating they weren’t very impressed by the Manor.

Taking advantage of their being escorted by Wang Changdong to dine in the flower hall, Shu Yu hastily ran out and hurried to the entrance of the Manor, pulling the old lady inside the gate.

As others saw her come out and attempted to talk to her, but Shu Yu, with quick actions, pulled the old lady directly in.
