Chapter 787: Chapter 787: The Note in the Pouch
Meng Yunzheng saw that they had walked into the alley and slowed down, then he said, "I should be the one asking you whatâs wrong. What have you been thinking about all the way?"
Shu Yu frowned, thought for a moment, and then said, "There is something very strange."
"What is it?"
"When my master found Wang Changdong, she specifically inquired whether the governor went to Righteous Dao Village and whether he met with me."
The Dongqing Temple master had actually asked such a question, which made him fall into deep thought, "So you suspect..."
"Yes, I suspect that the governor might have gone to Righteous Dao Village, and it might have been my masterâs doing." She wasnât making baseless conjectures, "Think about it; in the note my master left for me, she specifically mentioned that she would come to the southwest first to take care of things for me. Iâve always been puzzled about what she needed to take care of for me. Iâve been here for a few months now, and she hasnât shown up."
Now that she heard about her master confirming the governorâs situation with Wang Changdong, Shu Yu connected it with her.
Moreover, she had never heard of the governor suddenly coming to the exile area to inspect.
Meng Yunzheng had no doubt that the Dongqing Temple master had such capabilities, "Even, the temple master might have possibly used the reason of the Heichang County magistrateâs corruption to lure the governor here."
Shu Yu raised her head to look at him.
If that was the case, then her master indeed came to the southwest in advance to prepare for her.
Even without Qi Chan, the Dongqing Temple master was looking for an opportunity for her to get to know important people.
Now that she knows she is doing well and even the steward at the manor values her highly, did she leave confidently...?
"Forget it, itâs no use to think more about it now. Weâll meet eventually."
However, speaking of the note, Shu Yu remembered the pouch that the Dongqing Temple master gave her, and she took it out, "This pouch was given to me by her; there is another small note inside."
Previously, when she couldnât find the Dongqing Temple master, she thought there might be clues inside the pouch, so she opened it and looked.
The problem is, she completely, totally, cannot understand whatâs written inside!!
She handed the note over, "Help me look at it, what does my master mean by this?"
She pulled it out, was just about to unfold it, when Sanyaâs voice came from the front, "Second sister."
Meng Yunzheng pressed her hand, "Letâs look at it when we get back; everyone is waiting for you to have the New Yearâs Eve dinner."
Besides, it was too dark outside to see clearly.
Shu Yu then put the pouch away, seeing Sanya run over, she swept her up into her arms, and they briskly walked towards home.
Zhao Xi had already cleared the tables and chairs for them, and when they entered, he raised his hand to wave, "Hurry up and eat, weâre all waiting for you."
He looked quite conscious of being the host and was very diligent in his work.
Shu Yu couldnât help but turn her head to look at Meng Yunzheng, "Has he... become sensible?"
Meng Yunzheng just smiled without saying a word.
The New Yearâs Eve dinner was very lively. Whether in her past life or this one, this was the most complete and warmest New Yearâs Eve dinner Shu Yu could remember.
She was so happy that she couldnât resist drinking two cups of wine, and her face felt extremely hot.
When the Lu family began reminiscing about the past and looking forward to the future, she hurriedly got up to go outside and sober up.
Meng Yunzheng didnât know when he came over and draped a cloak over her, "Donât catch a cold."
"I wonât; Iâm just happy." Shu Yu looked at him and couldnât help but think of the pouch, and she took it out again, "Take a look, what does this mean?"
