The Ace Bigshot Becomes A Farmgirl

Meng Yunzheng kept walking as he glanced sideways at Zhao Xi, ”Then you tell me, how should we arrange this?”

Zhao Xi was momentarily at a loss for words, furrowing his brows and pondering deeply. This indeed was difficult to arrange.

They couldn’t leave the person at the inn, as they’re definitely going to check out once they leave. They couldn’t just leave a room. If they didn’t check out, the people keeping surveillance would surely come in to investigate. Moreover, in Wei Qin’s current condition, she still needs someone to take care of her.

In the county town, among the people Shu Yu is familiar with, there’s only Wang Changdong and the Huifeng Escort Agency.

Obviously, neither is suitable for entrusting Wei Qin, which means she’ll have to be sent to Righteous Dao Village.

Zhao Xi sighed, ”But Righteous Dao Village is quite risky too. Which family are you planning to send her to?”

Meng Yunzheng looked at Shu Yu, ”What do you think?”

”The Xu Family.”

”That’s what I was thinking too.” Meng Yunzheng smiled.

If you’re talking about closeness, they’re certainly closer to the Fang Family, but the Fang Family knows nothing yet. Additionally, Ma Lu is currently working at the Governor Mansion, which is full of doubts now, so it’s better not to involve Ma Lu and the Fang Family for the time being.

As for the Xu Family, Xu Dali had already realized their purpose in coming to the southwest wasn’t simple and even provided them with a list, making him somewhat of an insider.

Moreover, Xu Dali is more knowledgeable than the Fang Family members. He’s literate and had interacted with more complex people and matters before exile, so hiding someone wouldn’t be a challenge.

Most importantly, the Xu Family is quiet, especially Ms. Lin, who doesn’t enjoy excessive contact or interaction with outsiders. A few years ago, they lived as a family of three behind closed doors. Later, when Xu Dali started working at the manor, more people gradually gathered around him, and Xu Zhensheng became more outgoing and confident, making many friends in the village. But Ms. Lin still kept her distance from neighbors, seldom going out and not liking people to visit.

Shu Yu thinks Ms. Lin probably has some social anxiety, so even though the Xu father and son have many friends outside, they rarely bring them home, except for someone like Shu Yu, who comes from afar and has a close relationship.

With such a Xu Family, it wouldn’t arouse suspicion even if Ms. Lin stayed home every day.

Although this is the plan, they still need to ask the Xu Family for their willingness.

The group quickly packed up their belongings and moved Wei Qin back to the box for concealment, and after putting it on the carriage, they leisurely headed towards Righteous Dao Village.

The carriage, as usual, stopped inside the manor, and Steward Yu warmly greeted them.

Shu Yu said to Steward Yu, ”We need to go to the Governor Mansion tomorrow, so we’ll be troubling you for another day today.”

Steward Yu promptly laughed, ”Why do you say that, county magistrate? It’s our honor for the county magistrate to come to Righteous Dao Village. Please, county magistrate, come this way. I shall have someone tidy up the rooms, the same ones as last time?”

”Any is fine.”

Steward Yu immediately instructed someone to get to work. Aunt Fang heard the commotion and ran out eagerly, ”Yu’s here? Staying for dinner at our place tonight...”

Before she could finish her words, Xu Dali came out, ”Aunt, tonight is our turn. My wife wanted to show off her skills last time, but who knew the county magistrate and Young Master Meng left in such a hurry. This time you can’t take it away from me.”

Aunt Fang laughed heartily upon hearing this, ”Alright, I won’t compete with you. It’s just as well that we have two fish at home that your Uncle Fang caught yesterday. I’ll send them over to you later.”

”Thank you, Aunt.” Xu Dali then looked at Meng Yunzheng, with a gaze that unmistakably suggested he had something to discuss with him.
