The Ace Bigshot Becomes A Farmgirl

Chapter 1099: Chapter 1099 Are You Yu??

Meng Yunzheng expressed his gratitude once more before rising to head outside.

Who would have known that after just one step, his body would suddenly stagger, and Shu Yu instinctively moved forward to help.

Lord Jing gently coughed and instructed, ”Yu, you escort Young Master Gong back and by the way, explain the full story of the case to Lord Gong to avoid any further misunderstandings.”

Shu Yu, ”...” Yu???

”Yes, my Lord.” Shu Yu responded respectfully, stepping forward to support Meng Yunzheng’s arm, ”Young Master Gong, take it slow.”

Meng Yunzheng curled his lips into a slight smile, discreetly gripping her hand for a moment, ”Thank you.”

While speaking, the two walked slowly towards the main gate of the central judicial office.

Zhao Xi followed behind them, feeling that this attendant of Lord Jing was a bit odd.

The three of them made their way to the gate, where a Gong family carriage was already waiting.

The coachman hurriedly approached, ”Eldest Young Master, are you alright?”

”I’m fine, let’s go home.”

The three of them boarded the carriage and headed straight for the Gong residence.

With the heads of the Gong family absent, and Gong Chang being harmed, the Gong residence appeared particularly desolate at this time.

Meng Yunzheng stood at the entrance and asked the gatekeeper, ”Has Madam returned?”

He had always been unwilling to call Madam Gong his mother, as his only mother was Song Xin.

”She has returned, the doctor is attending to her,” responded the gatekeeper.

Madam Gong had fainted in the courtroom and was sent home on the spot, arriving earlier than Meng Yunzheng.

Meng Yunzheng nodded upon hearing this, then took Zhao Xi and Shu Yu back to his own courtyard.

He did not inquire about Gong Qiu’s whereabouts; he was well aware of the Fifth Prince’s plan. At this moment, Gong Qiu was likely in a clandestine meeting with the Noble Princess Consort and could very well be caught red-handed; he might not return at all today.

Meng Yunzheng’s courtyard was simple, secluded, and incredibly empty.

Perhaps it was because he had been imprisoned in the central judicial office dungeon, but there was not a single servant in his courtyard. They either fled on their own or were dismissed by Madam Gong.

Shu Yu followed him inside, not even finding a cup of hot tea.

Fortunately, Shu Yu foresaw this and took out a water jug from her waist, pouring a cup for each of the three.

Zhao Xi was very thirsty, immediately taking a cup of water and after drinking one, wasn’t satisfied and poured himself more from the jug.

Once satisfied, he sighed and looked at Shu Yu, asking with some confusion, ”Are you an attendant by Lord Jing’s side? How come I’ve never seen you?”

Shu Yu couldn’t help but roll her eyes, ”Maybe you’re a bit blind.”

Upon hearing her clear voice, Zhao Xi suddenly stepped back, eyes widening in disbelief as he observed her, ”You, you, you are Yu?”

This voice, it was exactly like Shu Yu’s.

Meng Yunzheng nodded, ”She is.”

Zhao Xi was shocked, ”How did you come to the Capital? Is there anyone else with you? Has our Ah You come?”

Your... Ah You?

Shu Yu resisted the urge to retort inwardly and shook her head, ”She didn’t come. The Capital is in such chaos, how could I dare bring her along?”

”Good, she didn’t come, she didn’t come.”

Meng Yunzheng, however, disagreed, saying, ”You also know the Capital is chaotic, so why did you come?”

Shu Yu began to complain, ”Wasn’t it because on the day you left, you went alone, without even bringing Zhao Xi, as if you were heroically going to your death. How could I not worry?”

Meng Yunzheng was silent for a moment, ”That was my fault.”
