"One hour? That's so fast."
"Have you packed everything?"
Meng Yunzheng smiled and said, "There's nothing to pack." He was planning to rush to the capital as fast as possible and wouldn't stop much on the way, so he only prepared a small bundle.
Knowing that Shuyu was worried, Meng Yunzheng could only reassure her, "You can rest assured at home. Prince Wu is in the capital, and everything is ready. There shouldn't be any problems."
Although he said so, who knew if there would be any unexpected situations?
Shu Yu lightly touched her wrist. She was wearing a bracelet that Meng Yunzheng had given her in the morning.
He said it was the only thing his mother left behind.
During that fire, the Meng family's house was burned down, and everything inside was destroyed. After the fire was extinguished, there were very few things that could be salvaged.
Finding this bracelet had been quite difficult.
Now that she was wearing it on her wrist, Shu Yu still felt a burning sensation, as if she had been scorched by the fire.
One hour passed quickly, and although Shu Yu still had many things left to say, she had to get up to see him off.
But when they arrived at the gate, Meng Yunzheng stopped her. "Don't send me off. If you do, you'll miss me more later. You've been tired all day today, so go back and rest. If there's anything, I'll write to you. You can get information from Xiang Weinan about the situation in the capital at any time."
Shu Yu could only stop her steps, but she couldn't help but worry. "Be careful, and I'll wait for you to come back here."
"Okay."
Meng Yunzheng left, and Shu Yu stood for quite some time before heading back.
The front hall was still bustling with noise, filled with children's laughter and the exclamations of the Lu family members. It seemed like a housewarming celebration.
In fact, the gifts given by the villagers were limited, mostly just a bag of brown sugar or a small basket of eggs, and some pieces of cloth.
Despite this, the Lu family members were still very excited.
As for the gifts given to Shu Yu by Doctor Xu and the others, they had already been sent back to the Yu Garden.
Shu Yu took a deep breath and shook off those random thoughts before entering the main hall.
"What are they talking about?"
"They're talking about the gifts sent by Village Head Fan." The old lady smiled. "He was quite generous this time, and actually sent two pieces of such fine silk."
Shuyu was a little surprised. "Village Head Fan sent them?"
"Which Village Head Fan?" A voice of excitement came from outside. Shu Yu turned her head and saw Zhao Xi. "Zhao Xi?"
Zhao Xi walked in with a grin, but her reaction scared him. "What's wrong?" She looked like she had seen a ghost. Did something look off on his face?
"Where did you just go? Why, why haven't you left yet?" Shu Yu frowned, her tone somewhat urgent.
Zhao Xi was taken aback, then smiled. "Why should I leave? I went to the county office. Don't you know? County Princess Zhang, even though she woke up, was still pretending to be unconscious. Xiang Weinan asked me to check on her, and she woke up as soon as I gave her an injection. Xiang Weinan is currently questioning her, and we'll have the results later."
The Lu family members were delighted. "That County Princess Zhang caused trouble for no reason. She should be punished, right?"
Zhao Xi thought for a moment. "I don't know about County Princess Zhang, but that Zhang Maolin is probably in deep trouble. He..."
However, he hadn't finished speaking when Shu Yu interrupted him. She didn't care about County Princess Zhang at all now; she was just shocked.
"Zhao Xi, didn't you go to the capital with Ah Yun?"
