The Ace Bigshot Becomes A Farmgirl

Chapter 655: Chapter 655: Lord, my surname is actually Lu Chapter 655: Chapter 655: Lord, my surname is actually Lu A tiger and a gazelle, it was simply a bountiful harvest for them.

Looking at the satisfied expression in the officers’ eyes, Ma Lu couldn’t help but break into a grin.

Of course, the officers were satisfied, extremely so, not only because they had bagged a tiger, but also because the governor himself was present.

Just moments earlier, he had been in a panicked rush to find Miss Shu Yu, and now he seemed as if he had been hit on the head by a pleasant surprise.

It was Miss Shu Yu who reminded him, “Bailiff, first let’s send the tiger and the gazelle to the Manor before anything else.”

The officer snapped back to reality and nodded incessantly, “Right, right, right, let’s send them over first.” The Lord and the others were still waiting there.

He walked ahead, leading the way, brimming with joy, while Shu Yu detected a subtle change in his expression.

Indeed, as they arrived at the entrance of the Manor, they saw Lord Cheng and Qi Chan who had come out upon hearing the news.

The officer hurriedly said, “This is the governor. Today, the Lord was inspecting our area and just happened to take a rest at the Manor, please pay respects to the Lord.”

Hearing this, everyone present, from Ma Lu’s group to the surrounding onlookers, were all stunned into silence.

Shu Yu was the first to speak, “I’ve met the governor.”

The others snapped back to their senses and immediately set down the tiger and other items before hurriedly bowing in respect.

Lord Cheng asked everyone to stand up and then turned to look at the tiger on the ground.

Although he had seen many aspects of the world, this was his first time seeing such a… fresh tiger.

What surprised him was that, apart from the holes made by two arrows in the body, the tiger had only sustained an injury around the eye area, and it looked remarkably intact.

Such a complete tiger hide was indeed a rare treasure.

Lord Cheng’s eyes lit up with a hint of surprise.

While they were looking at the tiger, the officer went over to an excited Ma Lu and his companions and said quietly, “You are in luck. If you had been even a quarter hour later, perhaps Lord Cheng would have already left.”

Ma Lu blinked in surprise. His mind worked quickly, suddenly recalling how Shu Yu had reminded them twice not to delay and to return earlier.

Thinking this, his gaze inadvertently fell on Shu Yu. However, the next moment, he saw the teacher following behind Lord Cheng, who looked quite significant, already walking up to Shu Yu with a smile.

“Miss Shu Yu, it’s been a long time. Do you still remember me, old sir?”

Shu Yu immediately smiled; she had been worried he wouldn’t remember her.

“Of course I remember, Mister Qi.” She replied with a smile, then turned her head to glance at the governor, “I didn’t expect to see Mister Qi now in service by the Lord’s side.”

“I, too, did not expect the young lady to be so young and frail in appearance, yet capable of hunting such a large tiger, it has truly opened my eyes,” said Mister Qi.

Shu Yu waved her hand modestly, “You flatter me, teacher. There were six or seven of us, and everyone made an effort. It wasn’t just my own doing.”

Qi Chan remarked, “Is that so? I’ve seen the game hunted by your nine groups, and just the two young ladies were able to capture such large game. That is no small feat.”

As they conversed, Lord Cheng, who had finished examining the catch, came over.

When they all returned to the main hall of the Manor, he looked towards Shu Yu, “Are you the Miss Shu that the teacher mentioned?”

Shu Yu once again bowed to Lord Cheng and then shook her head, “Lord, actually, my surname is now Lu.”

Lord Cheng was taken aback and looked towards Qi Chan, who also had a puzzled expression.

The officer in the background slapped his forehead, realizing he had forgotten to mention Lady Lu’s background to the Lord.

He hurried forward and recounted the tale of Shu Yu and the Shu family’s circumstances.
