The Ace Bigshot Becomes A Farmgirl

Chapter 467: Returning to Jiangyuan County

Mrs. Tang sighed. After all, this row of people were all women.

Who knew that as she looked, she would see a slightly familiar face?

Mrs. Tang thought she might have seen it wrongly, but when she turned to look at Tang Wenqian, the latter was frowning too.

Tang Wenqian squeezed his hands and turned his head to ask the passerby beside him, “Brother, may I ask which family’s women are those exiled prisoners from?”

“You don’t even know this? The Shu family, magistrate Shu’s family.”

Of course, Tang Wenqian knew that Magistrate Shu had been exiled, but he didn’t expect that they would be exiled to the southwest today.

Mrs. Tang’s ears were sharp, and she suddenly thought of something. “Shu? Which Shu?”

The man looked at Mrs. Tang suspiciously, “You don’t even know who our former Lord is?”

Mrs. Tang knew about it, and because she knew, she pulled Tang Wenqian and said in shock, “Shu, Shu as in Shu Yu, is she…”

Tang Wenqian frowned and lowered his voice. “Mother!”

Mrs. Tang immediately shut her mouth, but she still wanted to get to the bottom of it. She asked the passerby, “Do you know who the girl at the back is?”

The passerby said,” Then how would I know? In any case, she’s either a concubine of the Shu family or a young lady of the Shu family.”

Mrs. Tang wanted to ask more, but Tang Wenqian had already dragged her away.

They didn’t enter the city again. Tang Wenqian looked at the exiled troops from afar with a solemn expression.

Only the two were left on the road, so Mrs. Tang said softly, “Wenqian, do you think that’s the second daughter of the Lu family? Or do you think she’s just someone who looks like her? But wasn’t the second daughter of the Lu family in Jiangyuan County? Why did she suddenly appear in the prefecture city, and why is she still in the exile team?”

Tang Wenqian didn’t say anything. Mrs. Tang saw that his expression wasn’t too good, so she kept quiet after a few words.

However, the scene just now kept hitting her head.

The two of them returned to their rented village. Standing at the door of the room, Tang Wenqian took a deep breath and finally made a decision.

He turned to Mrs. Tang and said, “Mother, pack up. We’re going back.”

“What? Go back? Go back where?” Mrs. Tang was stunned.

“Jiangyuan County.” He had to verify if that person was Lu Shu Yu, or else he would feel uneasy.

Mrs. Tang was stunned for a moment before hitting him on the back. “Are you crazy? Why are you going back to Jiangyuan County at this time? We still have to wait for the results to be released. If you go back, you won’t know what rank you have.”

Tang Wenqian dodged and explained patiently to Mrs. Tang, “Mother, that won’t happen. If I were admitted, the document would be sent to Jiangyuan County’s government office. Then, the official would naturally come to my house to report the good news. If I fail, it will only add to my troubles even if we continue to live here. There’s no need.”

But Mrs. Tang wanted to know if her son was admitted or not. How long would it take for the document to reach the county office and then the county office to reach their house?

Mrs. Tang’s face darkened as she asked, “Do you want to go back and see if the second daughter of the Lu family is in Jiangyuan County?”

“Yes.” Tang Wenqian did not deny it. “After all, we’re both from Shangshi Village. I have to know what happened. I know what happened.”

“You…” Mrs. Tang felt that Tang Wenqian wasn’t right, but she couldn’t change her son’s mind.

Although Tang Wenqian looked gentle and easy to talk to, once he made up his mind, no one could change it, not even his parents.
