The final look that the master of Dongqing Temple gave her showed resignation and compromise.
Shu Yu believed that her master would come out to find her after finishing her business.
To be safe, she told Xia Yan and Ying Xi, "Stay at the back door. If my master comes out from there, stop her."
"Okay."
The two of them went to the back door.
Not knowing what was going on inside, Shu Yu and Meng Yun Zheng leaned against the carriage and waited for a long time without seeing anyone come out.
Just when Shu Yu thought her master had quietly left again, the gate of the Zhou family finally opened.
Zhou, the village head, waved his hand and asked the villagers to step back.
But many people wanted to talk to the master of Dongqing Temple and inquire about things. It took a while before the master and the Zhou family came out.
Shu Yu let out a sigh of relief, about to step forward, but then she saw the master of Dongqing Temple pointing in their direction and saying something.
Zhou and his family came over with quite a few things, placing eggs and pastries in several gift boxes on the carriage.
Shu Yu was stunned. The master of Dongqing Temple bid farewell to Zhou, the village head.
"Get on the carriage." The master of Dongqing Temple glanced at her.
Shu Yu "..."
She pushed the gift boxes inside the carriage and climbed back up. Meng Yunzheng helped her from behind.
Once they were settled, Meng Yunzheng drove the carriage toward the back door of the Zhou family and picked up Xia Yan and Ying Xi who were guarding there. Only then did they leave the Zhou family village.
The master of Dongqing Temple looked at Shu Yu and asked, "Feeling unwell?"
Her actions just now were too stiff.
Shu Yu twitched her lips. "I rode a horse day and night, whipping it to hurry here. If it weren't for that, how could I have seen you again?"
The master of Dongqing Temple then turned to Meng Yunzheng. "With him around, what are you worried about? You're being overly dramatic."
Shu Yu snorted. She wasn't being overly dramatic. She was genuinely worried about missing her.
The master of Dongqing Temple didn't hurry to catch up on old times. After making sure she was fine, she spoke to Meng Yunzheng, "The matter with the Zhou family has been resolved."
"Do you know what's wrong with Zhou's son?" Shu Yu asked, getting interested in the topic.
Meng Yunzheng understood what was happening. It seemed that Zhou's son had some love-related issue, but it didn't sound like he was possessed.
However, the master of Dong Qing Temple didn't seem willing to say much, so he didn't ask further.
But...
Shu Yu leaned forward. "So, what exactly happened? Master, please tell us in detail."
The master of Dongqing Temple looked at Meng Yun Zheng and said, "How come she has half of your insight?"
Insight? She had it!
Shu Yu quickly poured a cup of water. "Master, have some water first and moisten your throat before you speak. No need to rush."
The master of Dongqing Temple "..."
Meng Yunzheng lowered his head and silently laughed.
Shu Yu was quite upset when she mentioned her master before, but now that they were face to face, the master of Dongqing Temple couldn't counter her and was left speechless.
Ah Yu, she was clearly seeking revenge.
"Narrow-minded," the master of Dongqing Temple finally took the tea cup, drank some water, and then started talking about the Zhou family's matter. "Zhou Haosi ate a live chicken in the middle of the night just to ruin his reputation. It was a deliberate act, not possession or someone else's scheme."
From the condition of the Zhou family's road, it could be seen that it was a relatively affluent village.
As the village head, Zhou's family was the wealthiest in the village.
