The Ace Bigshot Becomes A Farmgirl

Chapter 823: Chapter 823 Wang Changdong’s Thoughtfulness

Shu Yu couldn’t help but want to laugh upon hearing this; Zhao Xi was so anxious to avoid any association with Huifeng Escort Agency?

Meng Yunzheng cast a sidelong glance at Zhao Xi, who was frantically blinking at him.

Eventually, Meng Yunzheng nodded, “Yes, I have people in my hand.”

After all, he also didn’t want to travel with people from Huifeng Escort Agency; there were many inconveniences.

Thinking of Meng Yunzheng’s identity, Shu Yu nodded, “Yes, dad, it’s more comfortable for our family to travel together on the road.”

Lu Erbai had a complex look in his eyes, is this, a family now??

But since all capable people said so, Lu Erbai didn’t insist anymore, “Then okay, we’ll go by ourselves.”

They discussed what items to bring back, and as for the route, they decided to stick to the same path they came from; it was all official roads, they were familiar with it as they had already traveled it, and they were comfortable riding in a carriage with courier stations and towns along the way.

While discussing enthusiastically, Meng Yunzheng suddenly heard some noise outside, frowned, and said, “There’s someone outside the door.”

“At this time, those people working outside should have returned home,” which means, it’s very likely that those people, having heard about Shu Yu’s issue, would possibly head to their house.

It wouldn’t matter much if it were acquaintances, but it’s troublesome if people who originally didn’t even know them also come to greet.

Lu Erbai knew this situation very well. Just like when Brother Yao first received the Imperial Decree to resume his official duties and hadn’t yet left Heichang County, the Yao Family had experienced the same scenario.

An unending stream of people came and went, each of them coming under various pretexts to make connections with him. During that time, the Yao Family was constantly bustling, without a moment’s break.

Lu Erbai had gone to deliver things twice and was directly blocked at the gate, unable to enter.

Thinking that his family might also face such a scene in the next few days, he suddenly felt a headache coming on.

Shu Yu stood up, “I’ll go out and take a look.”

However, the moment she opened the courtyard door, she saw two familiar… officers.

“You…”

The two officers moved two stools and positioned themselves on either side of her household’s entrance, and upon seeing the door open, they both turned their heads and smiled, “Monarch Lu Xiang, we were instructed by Brother Wang to guard here specifically, to prevent anyone from disturbing your family reunion.”

Shu Yu, “…”

What should she say? Wang Changdong is so busy, yet he could still manage to do this.

“Monarch Lu Xiang, you just handle your affairs, I imagine your family is quite busy these days. We are here, and we won’t let unfamiliar people come to disturb you. If there’s an urgent matter, we will knock on the door.”

“Yes, Monarch Lu Xiang, please go back inside. If there’s anything you need, just tell us, and we will leave once everyone rests down in the evening.”

Suddenly, Shu Yu found herself unable to utter words of refusal; it was a kind gesture from Wang Changdong, and she indeed needed it.

Therefore, she accepted this kindness and nodded immediately, “Thank you very much.”

After speaking, she went inside to fetch some snacks and tea for the two officers.

The officers thanked her and let Shu Yu close the courtyard door again.

Wang Changdong’s consideration was indeed practical; if it hadn’t been for these two officers, those off-duty workers, even if they didn’t dare to knock and greet Shu Yu, would have surrounded the Lu family completely.

Even with the officers there, still a lot of people were peering around outside, those farther away were all whispering among themselves.

Among them, included the Shu family.
