The Ace Bigshot Becomes A Farmgirl

Chapter 795: Chapter 795: Shu Yu Returns to the Village Chapter 795: Chapter 795: Shu Yu Returns to the Village Shu Yu paused, turning her head to look at Yao Po who had entered the room.

With the news now confirmed, Yao Po was not afraid of others knowing, and eagerly told the Lu family, “Just after noon, the County Magistrate led the Ministry of Personnel’s Imperial Decree Officer to our home to proclaim the Imperial Decree. My father has been reinstated to his official position, and the Emperor has also awarded us with many things, including a residence.”

Shu Yu raised her eyebrows, “A residence?”

“Yes,” Yao Po nodded repeatedly, “My father is currently speaking with the Ministry officials and the County Magistrate. I came over to give you this good news first. I’ve also written down the address of that residence, Uncle Lu, whenever you have anything to send us, just send it to this place.”

The Yao Family had a house in the capital originally, but it had been confiscated after he was exiled, and later sold to someone else.

However, the residence that the Emperor has now rewarded them with was larger than their original one, comprising three main halls, and most importantly, it was well located.

The Lu family were all happy for the Yao Family, with the old lady patting her hands and saying, “Oh, this is so sudden, I need to prepare something for you. When are you leaving? I don’t know if there’s enough time.”

Compared to Lu Erbai, the old lady had already realized that this was a huge opportunity for networking.

This was a Capital Official, a few ranks higher than the county magistrate.

In any case, they had to firmly establish a good relationship.

Hearing this, Yao Po continuously waved hands, “Grandma Lu, you are being too polite, there’s no need to prepare anything. If it wasn’t for Uncle Lu and Erbai’s help in the past, we wouldn’t be where we are today. However, we will need a few more days before we can depart, as the Ministry official wants to meet Mister Qi. Mister Qi isn’t in Heichang County right now, so he’s planning to wait a few more days.”

What he didn’t say was that the Ministry official, due to rushing on his journey, had gotten slightly injured and couldn’t continue the journey immediately.

He could have arrived yesterday, but his injury worsened, and he had to stay at the courier station for a day.

Fortunately, there was a woman with the last name Hou at the courier station who had a good medicine. After the Imperial Decree Officer used it, his bleeding stopped and his pain eased, so he rested for a day before continuing on to Heichang County.

Knowing that the other party was waiting for Qi Chan’s return before leaving, Shu Yu breathed a sigh of relief.

She congratulated Yao Po, and then she pulled the mule carriage out of the house.

If she delayed any longer, the city gates would close, and she wouldn’t be able to return.

This time, Shu Yu was going back alone. Today was only the second day of the Lunar New Year, and the bustle of the county town would last at least until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

The old lady and the others wouldn’t stay in Heichang County for long. With the rare festive atmosphere, Shu Yu didn’t want them to stay in Righteous Dao Village, spending days on end washing clothes and cooking.

Hadn’t Wang Changdong earlier told the old lady about many fun places? Shu Yu instructed Daya to take them to see those places, not to miss the rare opportunity.

After all, once she returned to Righteous Dao Village, she could eat at the Manor. She wouldn’t be starving three meals a day.

Moreover, she wasn’t busy at all now. The Heating Packs had been handed in and the registration ledgers had been sorted out. Apart from the morning and evening rush, she had free time at other times.

The old lady couldn’t dissuade her and could only remain in the county town.

But she said that she would definitely return by the sixth day of the first lunar month, at the latest.

Shu Yu sat on the mule carriage, slowly returning to the village.

Because of the New Year, the village was still quite lively and festive, and the children were rarely seen running and jumping outside.
