Chapter 1900: Chapter 1900: Where Did Third Uncle Go?
This incident was truly thanks to Qi Lieâs help, both emotionally and practically; Shu Yu ought to go express her gratitude.
Who knew that upon going, she would witness quite a commotion.
By the time she returned, it was already evening, and she came back alone.
The old lady asked in a low voice, "Is Yun busy again?"
"Yes, he asked me to tell you that heâll take you around tomorrow."
The old lady waved her hand, "No need for that, he is busy with his things, no need to spare his time to accompany us. Weâre not children; we wonât get lost, right? Besides, we have to return to Chenggu County tomorrow."
Shu Yu supported her hand as they walked into the courtyard, "Leaving tomorrow?"
"You donât have to go back; itâs rare for you and Yun to meet. Spend more time with him. Weâll go back by ourselves, didnât Lord just judge the Chen Family should give your Aunt six hundred taels of silver? Such a large sum of money, which your Aunt deserves, will bring her comfort once she returns to Dongan Province. We need to go back and ensure that the Chen Family doesnât make excuses to avoid paying."
Shu Yu chuckled, the Chen Family wouldnât dare evade this?
The authoritiesâ official judgment requires payment within a few days. If not paid, theyâll face jail time.
But the old lady being concerned about that money makes sense, so Shu Yu didnât stop her.
She was evidently motivated by the debt collection task; Shu Yu decided not to involve herself.
"Let Third Uncle accompany you, he..."
Speaking of Lu Sanzhu, Shu Yu suddenly paused, "Where is Third Uncle?"
Besides Lu Sanzhu, even those three youngsters were nowhere to be seen.
The old lady said, "After you went to the government office, your Third Uncle couldnât stay put; he wanted to stroll around, and left with those three youngsters. Itâs been half a day now, they should be back soon."
Right on cue, as mentioning Cao Cao, several figures came bouncing in from outside.
Shurui rushed forward directly to Shu Yu, sweating despite the cool weather, looking extremely excited, "Second Sister."
"Where have you been?"
Shurui chuckled cheekily and whispered, "Shili Lane."
Shili Lane? Isnât that where the Pan Family house is located?
"What were you doing there?"
"Of course, went there for some excitement." Lu Sanzhu gulped down two large glasses of water, wiped his mouth, and sat heavily on a chair. The luxurious clothes he changed into in the morning now appeared rumpled and incongruous.
He didnât care. Seeing Granny Fang and them approaching, he began speaking mysteriously, "My guess was that after the case ended, the Pan Family would indeed be lively. So, went to take a look, sure enough, the Pan Family was in chaos."
"Tell me more." The old lady was very interested, showing a gossipy look.
Shu Yu, "..."
The three youngsters started chattering excitedly, "During the trial, didnât the Pan Familyâs neighbors all go along? Once it ended, the matters of the Pan Family and the Chen Family quickly spread across Shili Lane. Now who doesnât know about Chen Bingâs vile deeds, who isnât aware that the Pan Familyâs youngest daughter had an affair with the butler, and even birthed two illegitimate children? Even if they close the front gates, the onlookers nearly blocked the alley."
"Not only that, the backyard was full of people too, the Pan Family hardly dared to come out."
"Third Uncle was amazing, took us to the neighborâs house next door, climbed up the wall to watch the drama."
