The Ace Bigshot Becomes A Farmgirl

Chapter 1074: Chapter 1074: Meeting Lord Wan Again

Shu Yu was just thinking when suddenly, from the carriage in front, came the voice of Lord Wan, “Stop.”

The carriage abruptly stopped, and as the one in front halted, naturally, the one behind also came to a stop.

Immediately, a person emerged from the carriage, and the officer standing in front of Shu Yu hurriedly stepped forward, “My Lord.”

It seemed that this was the magistrate of Shangyang Prefecture.

The magistrate waved his hand, took a few steps forward, and walked to the carriage in front to ask, “Lord Wan, is there anything amiss?”

Lord Wan shook his head, fixedly looked at Shu Yu for a moment, then hesitantly spoke, “Lady Lu?”

The magistrate was taken aback, turned his head following Lord Wan’s gaze, first seeing the conspicuous White Horse, then Shu Yu beside it.

He asked in a low voice, “Lord Wan, do you recognize that young lady?”

Lord Wan nodded, dismounted the carriage, and walked over to Shu Yu in a few strides.

“Monarch Lu Xiang, it’s really you.”

Shu Yu didn’t expect him to recognize her, momentarily surprised, she immediately clasped her hands in greeting, “Lord Wan, long time no see, I hope you’ve been well.”

“I’m doing quite well, but it’s you I must congratulate, Monarch Lu Xiang.” Lord Wan laughed, “Where might Monarch Lu Xiang be headed?”

As he spoke, he took another glance at the White Horse.

If it weren’t for the coachman in front mentioning that the White Horse beside him was exceptionally spirited, he wouldn’t have curiously lifted the curtain.

Who knew that a look outside would show Monarch Lu Xiang right beside the White Horse.

He had only met Shu Yu once, but it left a deep impression. Mainly because both Lord Yao and Mister Qi regarded her with special interest, and among those seeing Yao Tianqin off from the city back to the Capital, she, despite her plain attire, stood out from the rather languid atmosphere of Heichang County.

Later, on the journey sending Lord Yao back to the Capital, he frequently heard Lord Yao mention this lady. He said without her, he couldn’t have been reinstated.

Initially, Lord Wan didn’t pay much attention to such a young woman, but when Lord Yao mentioned that it was this lady who led him to Mister Qi, it made him take her more seriously.

Subsequently, after the Heating Pack incident and following Mister Qi back to the Capital, even if Lord Wan wanted to, he couldn’t forget Shu Yu.

Shu Yu smiled, “Just going on a long journey.”

The magistrate happened to come over, curiously looking at Shu Yu.

Only then did Lord Wan make the introductions, “This is Monarch Lu Xiang, the one who presented the Heating Packs. And this is Magistrate Yang of Shangyang Prefecture.”

Speaking, he glanced behind Shu Yu.

With that glance, the collapsed wall came into view, and upon seeing a few intent stares behind Shu Yu fixed on the White Horse, Lord Wan squinted slightly, “Monarch Lu Xiang, are you perhaps in some trouble?”

Shu Yu shook her head, “It’s nothing, just a torrential rain, the wall collapsed, and I’m negotiating compensation with the inn’s shopkeeper.”

“I see.”

Since she said it wasn’t an issue, it indicated the problem wasn’t significant.

Lord Wan had important matters at hand and couldn’t delay much longer, so after greeting Shu Yu, he got back on the carriage.

However, Magistrate Yang instructed his attendant, “You stay here and lend Monarch Lu Xiang a hand, help out, and come back once it’s resolved.”

“Yes.”

Magistrate Yang nodded at Shu Yu and then boarded the carriage.

The two carriages, along with the officers behind them, continued toward the city gate until they turned a corner and were out of sight, only then did everyone secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

Shu Yu thought, could it be that Lord Wan was off to deliver another decree somewhere?

This Shangyang Prefecture is indeed on the way to Linzhang Prefecture.
