Chapter 823: Chapter 823 Wang Changdongâs Thoughtfulness
Shu Yu couldnât 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, âYes, I have people in my hand.â
After all, he also didnât want to travel with people from Huifeng Escort Agency; there were many inconveniences.
Thinking of Meng Yunzhengâs identity, Shu Yu nodded, âYes, dad, itâs more comfortable for our family to travel together on the road.â
Lu Erbai had a complex look in his eyes, is this, a family now??
But since all capable people said so, Lu Erbai didnât insist anymore, âThen okay, weâll go by ourselves.â
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, âThereâs someone outside the door.â
âAt this time, those people working outside should have returned home,â which means, itâs very likely that those people, having heard about Shu Yuâs issue, would possibly head to their house.
It wouldnât matter much if it were acquaintances, but itâs troublesome if people who originally didnât 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 hadnât 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 momentâs 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, âIâll go out and take a look.â
However, the moment she opened the courtyard door, she saw two familiar⊠officers.
âYouâŠâ
The two officers moved two stools and positioned themselves on either side of her householdâs entrance, and upon seeing the door open, they both turned their heads and smiled, âMonarch Lu Xiang, we were instructed by Brother Wang to guard here specifically, to prevent anyone from disturbing your family reunion.â
Shu Yu, ââŠâ
What should she say? Wang Changdong is so busy, yet he could still manage to do this.
âMonarch Lu Xiang, you just handle your affairs, I imagine your family is quite busy these days. We are here, and we wonât let unfamiliar people come to disturb you. If thereâs an urgent matter, we will knock on the door.â
âYes, Monarch Lu Xiang, please go back inside. If thereâs anything you need, just tell us, and we will leave once everyone rests down in the evening.â
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, âThank you very much.â
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 Changdongâs consideration was indeed practical; if it hadnât been for these two officers, those off-duty workers, even if they didnât 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.
