The Ace Bigshot Becomes A Farmgirl

Chapter 692: Chapter 692: Where did the third time come from? Chapter 692: Chapter 692: Where did the third time come from? As soon as Lord Cheng spoke, Yao Po didn’t say a second word before rushing over with Lu Erbai to help Yao Tianqin, who seemed to have injured his leg and was sitting at the back, stand up.

“Father, Mister Qi has arrived,” Yao Po whispered to Yao Tianqin, “I brought your model as well.”

Yao Tianqin was momentarily stunned, then suddenly lifted his head to look at Qi Chan.

The two hadn’t seen each other for five years. Qi Chan hadn’t changed much, but Yao Tianqin had aged significantly. In the first few years of his exile, the strenuous labor had made him much thinner.

Qi Chan stepped forward, “Brother Yao, it has been a long time.”

Yao Tianqin’s eyes reddened slightly, “Great… no, teacher.” Realizing that the other was also exiled here, he quickly changed his address.

Lord Cheng had left first, and the others gradually exited the Interrogation Hall.

Boss He, who had acted impulsively just a moment ago, hadn’t realized what he had done until he scolded Shu Yu. Now that he had come to his senses, his face turned white with fear, and he wet his pants.

The remaining Cheng Xian glanced at him with a side-eye, waved his hand, and said to several constables, “Close the door.”

The door shut, blocking their mutual line of sight.

Shu Yu took one last look at Boss He inside the door, smiled, and walked away.

They didn’t return to the main hall but went to a nearby wing. Qi Chan asked someone to fetch a doctor before starting his conversation with Yao Tianqin.

Seeing this, Shu Yu took Lu Erbai out with her.

The door of the wing closed, and she and Lu Erbai found a stone bench in the courtyard to sit down on.

Yao Tianqin wanted to give that model to Qi Chan, and that thing was very important to the Yao Family, so they decided not to join the excitement and wait outside instead.

Though Lord Cheng had not said anything, he had still sent a maid to bring them some food.

As Shu Yu ate, she surveyed the surroundings and then said softly, “Father, the county magistrate of Heichang County must definitely be a corrupt official.”

“How so?”

“Look there, towards the direction leading to the rear manor. The ground paved with blue stone slabs is different on each side of the door.” The main hall was frequented by many, and the county magistrate couldn’t afford to make it too exquisite.

But the rear manor was different; the place where he lived was of a much higher standard, by more than just a little.

Lu Erbai followed the direction she pointed and after taking a look, nodded in agreement, “That’s why they say what goes around comes around. The county magistrate of Jiangyuan County wasn’t a good person either, but once Lord Xiang arrived, he was caught. It’s the same for this one, fortunately, we have a governor here.”

Lu Erbai had only been in Heichang County for a little over a month, so he hadn’t felt it deeply yet.

But just yesterday, he had gone to make decorations for the county magistrate’s brother-in-law’s manor, and he could tell upon entering that it must have cost a lot of money.

That brother-in-law didn’t have any serious livelihood, so where the money came from was questionable.

The father and daughter continued chatting, the atmosphere between them quite harmonious.

It wasn’t long before the door of the wing room nearby was opened.

Shu Yu, seeing smiles on everyone’s faces, especially the Yao father and son, who looked extremely excited, thought they must have had a very pleasant conversation.

Unexpectedly, the next moment, she saw Qi Chan stride over to where they were. Standing in front of Shu Yu, he laughed heartily, “Lady Lu, I must say, you truly are a bringer of good fortune. Three times now, it seems every time I encounter you, you always bring me good news.”

Shu Yu blinked, three times?

Where were these three times? Once at the courier station, she had indeed indirectly warned him, allowing him to avoid a disaster.

The second time must have been today when she brought Yao father and son to meet him.

But the third time, which was it?
