Fully Leveled Bigshot Becomes A Farmgirl

Chapter 1744: Chapter 1744: Granny Fang and Her Companion Are Stunned

Shu Yu smiled and nodded, giving the woman a reassuring answer.

The woman was very excited, and turned to speak with her family behind her.

Seeing this, Shu Yu did not delay further and left with Ying Xi.

They went to Doctor Mi’s clinic, which was closed at the moment. Ever since the mountain bandits had come, the clinic remained tightly shut both day and night, not daring to open at all.

Shu Yu knocked on the door, and a cautious voice quickly responded from inside, “Who?”

“It’s me.”

The door opened, revealing Granny Fang’s face.

As soon as she saw Shu Yu, she hastily stepped aside, “Quick, come in.”

Then she similarly looked left and right cautiously, hurriedly closing the door.

Granny Fang looked somewhat frightened, “Lady Lu, why have you come? Do you know what the situation outside is? Last night was truly terrifying, Doctor Mi and I didn’t dare to sleep. By the way, why didn’t Ah Gui come back with you?”

She bombarded with questions, evidently very worried.

Regarding last night’s operation, Shu Yu naturally couldn’t tell Granny Fang or Doctor Mi. Consequently, both of them were unaware and, like the other townspeople, could only listen to the distant noises, spending a night in anxiety.

Shu Yu felt somewhat guilty, but it was unavoidable; the fewer people knew about the operation plan, the better.

Now that it was over, she could explain it to them.

Seeing that Doctor Mi had also come over, Shu Yu first inquired about Uncle Meng’s condition. Learning that he had slightly improved and was no longer in serious danger, she was relieved.

Then she explained the situation selectively to the two of them.

Granny Fang and Doctor Mi were utterly dumbfounded by what they heard. What had they just learned?

It turned out that County Magistrate Cheng was the biggest bandit leader here, colluding with those people to harm the townspeople.

It turned out that when Meng Yunzheng and Shu Yu went to rescue Uncle Meng, they not only saved him but also brought back the wealthy young masters of Chenggu County who had been captured.

It turned out all that commotion last night was caused by them; they had not only subdued the patrolling and garrison soldiers but also arrested County Magistrate Cheng.

It turned out there was an Imperial Guard sent by the emperor among them.

Granny Fang swallowed hard, “Then, what do we do now? County Magistrate Cheng had closed the city gates earlier not allowing us to leave. Can we leave now?”

But Shu Yu shook her head, “Not yet, there’s a battle going on outside. General Huang is engaging with the rebels; those rebels still don’t know Chenggu County has been taken by us. If people from the town leave, the matter will be exposed. Moreover, Chenggu County is actually safer than outside now.”

Doctor Mi nodded in agreement, “Right, right, who knows whether those mountain bandits outside might scatter everywhere after being defeated by General Huang’s troops?”

Granny Fang sighed quietly and said no more.

Suddenly, Doctor Mi seemed to recall something and quickly stood up, “Did you say there’s a notice out at the county office now?”

“There should be.” The county office is now fully managed by Xia Yi, and the townspeople have been in a state of panic. She needs to give everyone some reassurance, otherwise, there could be more trouble.

Doctor Mi said, “Then I’ll go to the Office to take a look.”

He was about to leave when Shu Yu hurriedly told him, “Doctor Mi, don’t share what I just said with others yet. We don’t know how the notice over there explains things; if there’s a different interpretation, it could cause trouble.”
