Fully Leveled Bigshot Becomes A Farmgirl

Chapter 832: Chapter 832: Mrs. Xue, Gone

Shu Yu’s party was not in a hurry, so they were not traveling fast.

She organized all the gifts from everyone and noticed that they now occupied over half of the carriage, which made her rub her temples in disbelief.

She thought there were plenty of carriages and had not been worried at all.

“Yu, look at this.” Suddenly, an exclamation from the old lady reached her ears.

Shu Yu turned her head and saw a familiar package in the old lady’s hand.

She remembered…this was a gift from the county magistrate.

And seeing what was in the old lady’s other hand, surprise also flashed across her face, “This cloak…”

It was a white fox fur cloak.

The county magistrate had actually given such a nice item.

Shu Yu took it, feeling how soft and warm it was to the touch. It was snow-white, a sign of its high quality.

Worried that she might accidentally tear it, the old lady urged her to put it away, “I didn’t expect the Lord to be so considerate, Yu, put it away quickly. The carriage might jolt later, don’t accidentally knock or bump it.”

“Grandmother, isn’t that a bit of an exaggeration,” she thought. After all, a cloak is meant to be worn, isn’t it normal for it to get knocked about?

That’s what she thought, but seeing how nervous the old lady was, she still packed it away.

In this carriage, there were only her and the old lady, with Meng Yunzheng driving in front.

Daya and Sanya were sitting together, with Zhao Xi handling the reins.

Madam Ruan and Dahu were in the last mule carriage, driven by Lu Erbai.

The three carriages lined up and left Heichang County, heading straight for Linzhang Prefecture.

However, after noon, the carriages stopped at the courier station.

Shu Yu got out of the carriage and said to the old lady, “This is the courier station where Aunt Hou and her family stayed.”

The old lady had a good impression of Madam Hou and inquired about her upon entering.

When Madam Hou and the Sixth Young Lady came out to meet them, they saw the entire Lu family gathered neatly in the courtyard.

She was taken aback, “You all… why have you come? Has something happened?”

As soon as she asked, she saw beaming smiles on the faces of the Lu family, as if they were in a very good mood.

That put her at ease; it seemed that if there was an issue, it must be a good one.

Indeed, Shu Yu stepped forward and said to her, “Aunt Hou, I’m leaving.”

“Leaving? Where to?”

“I’m going back to Dongan Province.”

Madam Hou and her daughter’s eyes widened with shock. They had not misheard; Yu was going back to Dongan Province? But how was that possible?

Shu Yu said, “I have been exonerated.”

She recounted the story of how she sent her invention, the Heating Pack, and received the emperor’s edict.

Madam Hou and her daughter were completely astonished; wasn’t this development a bit too sudden?

Usually calm people were feeling overwhelmed at the moment.

With Yu leaving, they would truly have no one to interact with here.

But for the Lu family, it was a stroke of fortune too good to ask for, so of course, she was happy for her.

Madam Hou was silent for a long while, taking her time to process everything, before finally letting out a long sigh, bidding her goodbye with some reluctance.

However, Shu Yu wasn’t in a rush to leave, staying the night here, so there was plenty of time.

Madam Hou had met Zhao Xi before but had never had a chance to meet Meng Yunzheng; this was her first time seeing him, and she was curious about his relationship with Shu Yu.

But since Shu Yu did not mention it, she quietly refrained from asking more.

Yet, Meng Yunzheng was too handsome to ignore, and Madam Hou couldn’t help but take a little extra notice.

As a result, Meng Yunzheng walked away, and Madam Hou suddenly felt embarrassed, thinking her attention had made him uncomfortable.

She hastily averted her gaze, but Meng Yunzheng quickly returned, bringing back some news.

Mrs. Xue had passed away.
