The Ace Bigshot Becomes A Farmgirl

Chapter 814: Chapter 814: Let Shu Yu Recommend the Successor Candidate

Therefore, Shu Yu could only say to the old lady, “Perhaps, the heating pack is indeed very useful.”

The old lady thought about it too, “That’s right, the heating pack is really a very convenient thing, both cheap and effective.”

Didn’t the Imperial Decree mention it? Beneficial to the country and people. The old lady still understood these words, which means the heating pack must be used in more places than she imagined.

While talking, Shu Yu had already taken the old lady to the kitchen.

She said to Aunt Fang, who was helping in the kitchen, “Auntie, my Grandmother will rest here for a while. Please trouble you to prepare a bowl of noodles for her to eat.”

The dishes in the flower hall were almost served, and the few people in the kitchen were planning to cook something for themselves. Seeing the situation, they naturally agreed, and adding one bowl of noodle for the old lady was not troublesome.

Shu Yu said to the old lady, “Grandmother, you can chat with Aunt Fang in the kitchen for now. I will go to the front to meet a few Lords and will come back to find you later.”

The old lady urged her, “Okay, you go ahead, I can take care of myself.”

Shu Yu then returned to the flower hall, where Qi Chan waved at her and asked her to join him for the meal.

His attitude towards Shu Yu was exceptionally good, just like Lord Qian and Lord Shi, they all thought it was because of the heating pack she provided that allowed Qi Chan to return to the court.

Only Lord Cheng knew clearly that Lady Lu’s help toward Mister Qi was not just once or twice.

Mister Qi had even told him yesterday, if the Qi Family was not too complicated, and he himself had just been reinstated, being closely watched in the political whirlpool of the court, he would have intended to actually acknowledge this young lady as his goddaughter.

But looking at his actions now, even though he has not truly acknowledged her, his care for her is genuine.

Shu Yu arrived late and didn’t eat much, mostly listening to their conversation.

Obviously, with her present, it was impossible to discuss national affairs. So, they talked about some daily amusing incidents.

Listening to this was not very interesting to Shu Yu; she was still wondering if they would discuss about the Gong Family in the capital, apparently she was thinking too much.

After the meal, the governor prepared to leave.

Qi Chan would be returning to the capital in the next few days. Since the Emperor had ordered him back, he couldn’t delay; he had to be as fast as possible.

It was already quite rare that he could spare some time to meet Shu Yu in Righteous Dao Village today.

Therefore, after a few sips of tea, the group left the manor. However, the county magistrate stayed behind.

The county magistrate saw Qi Chan and the others off to the village entrance, watched them leave in the opposite direction of the county town, then returned to the manor.

Shu Yu had been accompanying him all along, thinking that after Lord Cheng and the others had left, the county magistrate would also return to the county office.

Unexpectedly, he still didn’t plan to leave. Since the Lord was not leaving, she, of course, couldn’t just go home.

To her surprise, when they reached the manor, the county magistrate suddenly smiled at Shu Yu, “Monarch Lu Xiang, please have a seat. I have something I’d like to ask you.”

Shu Yu, with a trace of suspicion on her face, obediently sat on a nearby chair and said, “Lord, feel free to ask. I will answer what I know.”

“Don’t be so nervous, it’s not a difficult matter. It’s about your current job.”

The county magistrate said, “You have restored your good record and will soon return to your hometown. However, you’ve been very dedicated and responsible while working as a steward in the manor. I’ve also seen the roster you maintained; it’s simple and clear, very straightforward. Now that you are leaving, the person succeeding you should also be competent. Do you have anyone in mind to recommend?”
