Chapter 1838: Chapter 1838: The Three Attentive Young Men

Uncle Meng was extremely enthusiastic, and even suggested buying two more servants, assigning one to each person, so they could react to any situation at any time.

Shu Yu was startled; staying at the escort agency already made her feel like she was intruding, and now having servants assigned to her? She’d better leave.

Shu Yu immediately refused, saying it’s better to be casual, so everyone would be more comfortable.

Uncle Meng was very disappointed, and Meng Han sitting next to him was also disappointed. She couldn’t understand, “Why didn’t Ah Ning come? If she had come, I would have taken her all around Chenggu County.”

Shu Yu rubbed her forehead, “Next time, when there’s a chance.”

“Alright then.”

By the time Shu Yu emerged from Uncle Meng’s courtyard, half an hour had passed.

She exhaled, and sluggishly walked back to her room.

However, as soon as she entered the door, she faced three pairs of gleaming eyes, looking at her warmly.

Shu Yu, “…”

“Why are you all here? Already awake?”

Shurui laughed cheekily, pulled Shu Yu’s hand to sit down, and then diligently massaged her shoulders, “Second Sister, we’re not tired, but you must be exhausted lately.”

Erniu and Dabao also gathered around, one pouring tea, the other… fanning??

Shu Yu’s mouth twitched, “It’s winter now.”

Dabao’s action paused, quickly withdrew his hand, and chuckled sheepishly.

Shu Yu sighed, “Alright, no need for all this diligence, just say whatever it is you want to say.”

Shurui softened his shoulder massage, “Second Sister, we are just curious about the rebels’ rebellion in Chenggu County, can you tell us?”

“Yeah, yeah, there’s all sorts of talk outside, claiming the rebels amount to tens of thousands, and General Huang fought fiercely against them, with countless casualties.”

“And also, saying half of Chenggu County’s populace was captured.”

Shu Yu rubbed her forehead; those outside rumors are really unbelievable.

“Just listen to those as gossip, don’t take them seriously, and don’t spread them around. She patted Shurui, “Alright, no need to massage me, sit over there. If you want to hear, I’ll tell you.”

Since the three were out traveling, they should know what they ought to know.

There were many versions of the story spreading outside, but only they as the people involved knew the specific details.

She chose what could be said and told them, while the black market part was briefly mentioned. She gave detailed accounts of the situation after exiting the black market, when they joined forces with the county town’s wealthy families to apprehend the rebels.

Even though she kept it simple, the three were excited, exclaiming in awe, asking questions one after another.

Halfway through, Lu Erbai and Lu Sanzhu who had awakened also came by, and eventually, even the old lady was brought in.

Everyone listened intently, within Shu Yu’s deliberately understated narration, their apprehension finally eased somewhat.

In the end, there was some lament, “The people of Chenggu County are so unlucky, who would have thought the black market was just outside the town. Luckily, the black market in our Jiangyuan County has already been cleared out, otherwise, we would all be in trouble.”

The Lu family initially didn’t know about the black market, until Meng Yunzheng bought the manor did they find out.

Thinking about it now still brings some fear.

“It’s definitely different from here; Chenggu County’s county magistrate is in cahoots with those rebels, even without the black market, it would still be disastrous.”
