Chapter 1791: Chapter 1791: That Young Lady Is the Village Chief!
Old Man Guan had just returned, but he was sent out again.
Once he left, he suddenly slapped his forehead. He was so confused, where could he find out anything? He didnât even know the girlâs name.
But going back to ask the old ladyâshe didnât know either.
Old Man Guan could only figure out how to ask himself. He originally thought it would be difficult, but unexpectedly, he got the answer in less than half an hour.
He went to find a gatekeeper he knew from a wealthy family. Gatekeepers sometimes have very comprehensive information.
Old Man Guan thought this girl might have some status, so she might have connections with wealthy families in town. He tried asking around.
Who wouldâve thought heâd get it right on the first try? Shu Yuâs reputation was big now, ordinary people might not know much, but anyone whoâd been taken hostage to the black market by rebels would know her.
The gatekeeper gave an elaborate account of Shu Yuâs many achievements to Old Man Guan, nearly praising her as a flower.
Old Man Guan returned home in a daze, still in shock.
The other members of the Guan Family had returned, and seeing his state, they were puzzled. Old Mrs. Guan was a bit anxious, patting him twice, âWhatâs going on? Did you find out anything?â
ââŠI did.â Old Man Guan swallowed hard, raising his head in bewilderment, âDo you know who that girl is?â
Old Mrs. Guan didnât know, âStop keeping us in suspense.â
âThat girl, that girl is the Village Chief, the one personally appointed by the late emperor.â
Old Mrs. Guan was astounded, nearly losing her balance. Luckily, her granddaughter supported her. The granddaughter was equally shocked, not expecting the girl they received during the day to have such a prestigious identity.
Old Man Guan said, âA-and her fiancĂ© is that Scholar Meng from the Meng Family escort agency, the very Meng Yunzheng who recently won three provincial exams in a row. My God, itâs incredible! Didnât you see recently at our county office, thereâs an Imperial Guard and Deputy General from General Huang? I heard Village Chief Lu Xiang and Scholar Meng have a good relationship with them, freely coming and going at the county office.â
Old Mrs. Guan excitedly grabbed his hand, âReally? A Village Chief, a Scholar? And connected to the Imperial Guard?â
âIndeed.â
Old Mrs. Guan laughed loudly, âGood, good, this is wonderful. Chen Bingâs good days are over. Iâm just waiting to see when he comes back. I saw Village Chief Lu Xiang getting very angry about Sister Fang suffering so much, sheâs sure to take action for Sister Fang.â
She was extremely happy, having waited thirty-something years, finally itâs time for revenge.
That night, the old lady had her grandson get half a jin of meat, and they rarely had a feast with meat.
On the other side, Shu Yuâs expression wasnât very good after leaving the Guan Family.
Ying Xi followed behind her, softly asking, âMiss, are we going to find Granny Fang?â
âItâs too late today, weâll go tomorrow.â Shu Yu hadnât expected to hear such a story from Old Mrs. Guan, no wonder Granny Fang had always refused to speak of the past.
But it doesnât matter. Even though Chen Bing hasnât returned yet, sooner or later theyâll meet.
She couldnât go back for a while, so sheâd wait patiently.
Shu Yu took Ying Xi back to the Meng Family escort agency, but after walking two streets, she glanced at a store up ahead.
That store was a grocery store, the one Old Mrs. Guan mentioned that Chen Bing opened.
Chen Bing wasnât there, but heâd hired a staff member, who was now idly guarding the store.
