After expressing his gratitude, Meng Yunzheng started to walk outside. However, as he took a step, he stumbled suddenly, and Shu Yu instinctively moved forward to support him.
Minister Jing cleared his throat and instructed, "Xiao Yu, you should accompany Young Master Gong back and inform Madam Gong of the details of the case to avoid any misunderstandings."
Shu Yu was taken aback, "Xiao Yu??" Why did Minister Jing call her that?
"Yes, my lord," Shu Yu respectfully agreed and approached Meng Yunzheng, holding his arm, "Young Master Gong, take it easy."
Meng Yunzheng smiled faintly, discreetly squeezing her hand, "Thank you."
As the three of them slowly made their way out, Zhao Xi followed behind, feeling that Minister Jing's attendant was acting a bit strange.
They arrived at the gate where a carriage from the Gong family was waiting.
The coachman hurriedly came forward, "Young Master, are you alright?"
"I'm fine. Let's go back to the mansion," Meng Yunzheng replied.
The three of them got into the carriage and headed towards the Gong family residence.
Due to Madam Gong's absence and the murder of Gong Chang, the Gong family felt especially desolate.
Meng Yunzheng stood at the entrance and asked the gatekeeper, "Has Madam returned?"
He never liked calling Madam Gong "mother" since his mother was only Song Xin.
"She has returned, and the physician is diagnosing her," the gatekeeper replied.
Meng Yunzheng nodded and led Zhao Xi and Shu Yu to his own courtyard.
There were no servants in his courtyard, perhaps because of his imprisonment in the Great Court. They either left on their own or were dismissed by Madam Gong.
Shu Yu followed him inside, and there was not even a cup of hot tea prepared for them.
Fortunately, Shu Yu had brought a water bag from her waist and poured a cup of water for each of them.
Zhao Xi was quite thirsty and quickly reached for the cup, gulping it down before refilling it with water from the water bag.
After quenching his thirst, he sighed and looked at Shu Yu with some confusion, "Are you Lord Jing's attendant? How come I've never seen you before?"
Shu Yu rolled her eyes, "Maybe you're a little blind."
Her clear voice caught Zhao Xi off guard, and he stepped back in astonishment, staring at her with disbelief, "You, you, you are Ah Yu??"
She sounded exactly like Shu Yu.
Meng Yunzheng nodded, "She is."
Zhao Xi's face was filled with shock, "How did you come to the capital? Besides you, has our Ah You come?"
"Your... Ah You?" Shu Yu held back her urge to retort and shook her head, "She didn't come. With the chaos in the capital, how could I dare to bring her here?"
"Good that she didn't come, good that she didn't come."
However, Meng Yunzheng disagreed, "You know that the capital is chaotic, so why did you come?"
Shu Yu began to complain, "It's all because of you. When you left that day, you went alone, not even bringing Zhao Xi, as if you were going to sacrifice yourself. How could I not worry?"
Meng Yunzheng fell silent for a moment, "It's my fault."
