The Ace Bigshot Becomes A Farmgirl

Chapter 785: Chapter 785: Definitely Guilty Conscience Chapter 785: Chapter 785: Definitely Guilty Conscience Shu Yu just couldn’t understand, her master always relayed messages through others and never wanted to meet her face to face.

Last time, when her identity was revealed, it was the same; they only sought her out after everything was settled.

She had reasons to suspect that her master was feeling guilty, afraid that she would settle accounts after autumn, so when he couldn’t find anyone in Righteous Dao Village, he simply gave up looking.

“Just loves to make trouble.” Shu Yu sneered, leading the mule to line up to enter the city.

It was New Year’s Eve, and the city gates were particularly crowded.

Who would have known, just as she entered the city gates, she saw a familiar figure standing next to the city gate.

Shu Yu paused, and quickly led the mule over, “You’re back?”

Meng Yunzheng smiled, “I promised you, I’d be back before New Year’s.”

A streak of three black lines slid down Shu Yu’s forehead, right, back before New Year’s, just a few hours apart.

“Your Grandmother mentioned that you had news of the Dongqing Temple master and that you ran out to look for him.” Meng Yunzheng glanced behind her, “Didn’t find the Temple master?” He didn’t seem surprised.

After all, in his eyes, the Dongqing Temple master indeed had a bit of a mystique, like a dragon seen but never captured.

Shu Yu sighed, “Yeah, just using these two legs, I don’t know how he moves so fast, and even less do I know where he went.”

She had even visited the only temple nearby, but still didn’t see anyone.

Meng Yunzheng took over her mule, “If the Temple master intentionally doesn’t want to meet, it’s natural to not find him.”

“I’m not bothered about meeting him or not, but haven’t you been continuously looking for her? If you can’t find her, how will you explain to…” Shu Yu lowered her voice, “the Fifth Prince?”

“No need to explain, his seeking the Temple master was only to seek a result.”

A result? What result, isn’t it just to know whether he can ascend to the throne or not?

She knew that.

The Fifth Prince is the final winner, no need for her master to calculate; she was very clear about it.

Meng Yunzheng said, “Could it be that if the Temple master calculated a result he didn’t like, he would give up that position? He wouldn’t. So I rather think that not finding the Temple master is better. If the calculated result isn’t satisfactory, it might affect his plans and morale.”

Shu Yu felt this was reasonable, no wonder Meng Yunzheng looking for the Dongqing Temple master didn’t seem very urgent.

But if the result was good, it would be like giving the Fifth Prince a heart booster.

She spun her eyes, “How about we just say, the master has calculated for him, and the outcome is very auspicious?”

Meng Yunzheng, “…”

How could you possibly bluff like that?

Shu Yu covered her face, “I’m joking, hehe, well, I need to visit Wang Changdong’s house first.”

“What happened?”

“When I heard the news about my master, I left in such a rush I didn’t ask in detail about the master’s situation, I need to inquire further.”

“I’ll accompany you.”

He said he would accompany her, but when they reached the Wang Family’s door, Meng Yunzheng stopped and didn’t go in, holding the mule at the door while Shu Yu went ahead and knocked.

Standing at the door, she could hear lively voices inside.

At this hour, it should be the time for families to reunite and enjoy the New Year’s Eve dinner. If it weren’t for her anxious heart, she wouldn’t want to disturb them now.

After taking a deep breath, Shu Yu still knocked on the door.

Soon someone came to open it for her; it was a woman in her forties or fifties, who paused upon seeing a young lady at the door, “Who are you looking for?”

“I’m looking for Wang Changdong, Brother Wang.” Shu Yu smiled as she spoke.
