The Ace Bigshot Becomes A Farmgirl

Meng Yunzheng got into the carriage and just inquired about Lu Wu’s intentions. After listening to Shu Yu, he pondered for a moment, ”Isn’t there Guard Cheng? When he returns this time, it’s quite easy for him to greet the local authorities.”

Initially, Shu Yu hadn’t considered Cheng Xian, after all, he was the subordinate of the governor and not that familiar. She didn’t want to owe a favor.

So she thought of writing to the Huifeng Escort Agency and Wang Changdong.

Wang Changdong is now working in the county office of Heichang County and is highly esteemed by the county magistrate. Although Qingxuan County is not within his jurisdiction, Wang Changdong has many connections, and he likely has friendly relations with people in the neighboring county town.

Meng Yunzheng listened and nodded in agreement, ”In this matter, indeed Wang Changdong is more suitable.”

Cheng Xian’s status is too high. Every word and action represents Lord Cheng’s intentions. If he specially takes care of a few unfamiliar young women, it might disrupt their normal lives and make them subjects of attention, which goes against their wish to live low-profile lives.

Wang Changdong is different; he is a local, neither too high nor too low in status. Ensuring the young women are not harassed by bullies or troubled by locals is manageable.

However, even though Shu Yu did not ask Cheng Xian to look after them, she entrusted him with the letter to be delivered to Wang Changdong.

If she sent the letter through the courier station, she wouldn’t know how long it would take. Cheng Xian was to hurry back to the southwest, and passing through Heichang County, it was convenient for him to hand the letter to Wang Changdong.

But Shu Yu still needed to explain the letter’s content to Cheng Xian.

Unexpectedly, upon hearing Qingxuan County, Cheng Xian’s expression turned somewhat peculiar.

Shu Yu felt curious, ”What’s the matter with Qingxuan County?”

”Quite a coincidence, the Cheng Family’s shop is in Qingxuan County, and that’s exactly where Cheng Wenbao and siblings are heading.”

Shu Yu, ”...” That is indeed quite a coincidence.

Cheng Xian put the letter away, ”Alright, I will help deliver this letter for you.”

”Thank you.” Shu Yu prepared a lot of melon seeds and sunflower oil for him, leaving some for him and some to take to Lord Cheng.

Cheng Xian departed the next day, traveling without Shu Yu.

Shu Yu and her party were not in a hurry and traveled leisurely by carriage, but Cheng Xian, having completed his tasks, needed to hurry back to report. Riding alone on horseback, he could not afford delays.

After Cheng Xian left, Shu Yu settled the matters concerning the shop, returned the rented small courtyard, and set off to prepare for departure.

Two carriages, a group of six people, plus a heap of miscellaneous items, filled the carriages to the brim.

Meng Yunzheng saw them off out of the city and only turned back after the carriage disappeared from view, his silhouette inexplicably tinged with loneliness.

Shu Yu felt slightly drowsy at the start, swaying in the carriage.

But before traveling far, the sound of three young lads arguing came from the carriage behind.

Shu Yu lifted the curtain and asked Ying Dong, who was driving, ”What are they arguing about?”

Shurui stuck his head out, ”Second sister, what places will we pass through on our way back?”

Shu Yu, ”Didn’t I just tell you the route yesterday? Have you already forgotten?”

”No, we were just thinking, thinking if we can visit Tianning County when passing through Huajiang Prefecture.” Erniu also poked his head out.

Tianning County... precisely where Shu Yu planned to go.

However, she was puzzled as to why these three youngsters were so keen on that area.

”What do you want to do in Tianning County?”
