The Ace Bigshot Becomes A Farmgirl

Chapter 1923: Chapter 1923: How Is Chen Bing Not Even a Little Thinner?

Shu Yu was reluctant, especially after seeing her father also start packing, she let out a faint sigh.

Erbai patted her head, ”Take good care of yourself. Once the shop here stabilizes, come home early. Your mother and the others all miss you.”

”Mm.”

”There’s no need to worry about the shop’s renovation. Worker He is skilled, and a preliminary shape has already formed these past days. It won’t be long before it opens for business.”

That night, the whole family sat in the backyard of the inn for a farewell dinner, then went to bed early.

Early the next morning, the old lady and others boarded the carriage, ready to set off.

There were six people traveling together: the old lady, Granny Fang, Lu Erbai, Lu Sanzhu, Yuan Gui, and Hua Xian.

In addition, there was a team of escorts and Meng Pei.

Shu Yu was surprised when she saw him yesterday, thinking that Meng Pei was going to return to Dongan Province with them.

It turned out Meng Pei said he was going to Quansheng Escort Agency in Tianning County, Huajiang Prefecture. Years ago, Quansheng Escort Agency was burned down, but now it has been rebuilt under Uncle Yan’s supervision.

However, the previous issue with Xuanyuan Sword bothered Meng Pei greatly.

This sword nearly got Uncle Meng killed by Jiang Kuanyu, and Tao Feili lost his life because of it.

Last time, Meng Pei said he wanted to dig up this Xuanyuan Sword from the ground and give it to the rightful person to prevent the Meng family from suffering further disasters. In the meantime, he also wanted to investigate if there were any clues about the person who tried to buy their dilapidated escort agency last time, feeling uneasy if it wasn’t uncovered.

Therefore, he would travel with the Lu family for a part of the journey, and they would go separate ways when they reached Huajiang Prefecture.

Shu Yu and Meng Yunzheng, along with others, escorted the old lady and her group out of the city gate. The old lady instructed Shurui and the others, ”Listen well to your second sister and Brother Meng, and go together wherever you go. Don’t be alone, understood? Take Ying Dong with you and don’t cause trouble.”

”Got it, got it, Grandmother.” Dabao responded impatiently.

The old lady picked up a small rag doll from the carriage and threw it at him, hitting him on the head, ”Especially you, behave yourself.”

Dabao looked aggrieved, glancing at his father, who silently turned his head away.

In front of Shu Yu, he didn’t dare to contradict the old lady.

The old lady actually had a lot more to explain, but in the end, she just sighed and said to Shu Yu, ”Alright, you all go back now. We’re leaving.”

Up front, Lu Erbai tightened the reins and was about to shake them when he suddenly stopped, letting out a ”huh”.

”What’s wrong, Old Er?”

Lu Erbai pointed ahead, ”There’s a group of officers escorting prisoners out of the city. I think I just saw... Chen Bing.”

”Chen Bing? Where?” Everyone turned their heads to look at the group of prisoners.

Lu Erbai rubbed his eyes. He had caught a glimpse unintentionally, and now upon closer inspection, he couldn’t find him.

This group of prisoners was about twenty or so, each wearing handcuffs and shackles, with disheveled appearances. With their heads down, it was impossible to tell who was who.

However, since the group was passing by, Shu Yu, with her sharp eyes, really saw him as they got closer, ”The fifth one on the left, it truly is Chen Bing. It seems today is the day they are being exiled.”

Everyone’s gaze focused on that person.

”Serves him right.” The old lady snorted coldly, but quickly furrowed her brows, scrutinizing Chen Bing, ”After being locked up for more than half a month, he doesn’t look like he’s lost any weight.”
