Chapter 1828: This County Princess Must Be Up to No Good

The old lady was taken aback. "What, what County Princess?"

Lu Sanzhu rolled up his pant legs and directly boarded the old lady's carriage. There was no choice; the person who was originally on the carriage shaft, Ying Dong, immediately jumped down and ran to the back carriage to drive it.

The two carriages, one in front and one behind, proceeded towards the Meng Family Escort Agency. Lu Sanzhu couldn't wait to tell the old lady, "I just heard about it. There's a certain Princess of Wen'an County here in Chenggu County, and she's staying at the Meng Family Escort Agency. Doesn't that mean she's living in the same place as Ah Yu?"

The old lady looked puzzled. "Why would a County Princess stay at an escort agency?" As far as she knew, the Meng Family Escort Agency wasn't particularly famous, at least not as well-known as those prestigious escort agencies in the capital. Shouldn't a County Princess live in the county government's official residence?

Lu Sanzhu clapped his hands. "That's the issue here. Mother, we've met a County Princess too. Considering her status, even the county magistrate treats her with respect. So why would she, someone of high status, choose to stay at an escort agency? What's so special about the Meng Family Escort Agency? There's Meng Yun Zheng. Look, Yun Zheng is handsome, skilled in martial arts, of good character, and he even passed the county-level imperial examination. The County Princess must have taken a liking to him."

Lu Erbai, who was driving the carriage, scratched his head. "Are you serious, Third Brother? Aren't Yun Zheng and Ah Yu already betrothed?"

"I'm not making it up. Second Brother, you're just slow on the uptake. Let me tell you, this County Princess of Wen'an County is really good at getting along with people. I just heard them say that she's helpful, inviting people to meals and sending them to the doctor's when they're ill. She's like a saintly mother. Our Ah Yu has a completely different temperament. She usually looks cold and stern, even aggressive. And stingy too. I... Ouch, Mother, why are you hitting me?"

The old lady glared at him. "Who are you calling cold, stern, aggressive, and stingy? Our Ah Yu has such a good nature. You've twisted it so much. Are you still her uncle?"

Lu Sanzhu protested, "Alright, alright, I misspoke. But, Mother, you have to admit that Ah Yu is indeed not one to speak gently and offer meals to strangers, right? She doesn't care about her reputation at all."

"Then..." Grandma Lu wanted to refute, but upon thinking about Ah Yu's temperament, she realized that Ah Yu really didn't care about those superficial things.

Seeing her fall silent, Lu Sanzhu immediately moved forward a bit and continued, "Mother, this County Princess has a good reputation, and her status is even higher than Ah Yu's. Yet, she's staying in the same place as Ah Yu at the Meng Family Escort Agency. If she's truly interested in Yun Zheng, won't Ah Yu be at a disadvantage? This County Princess's methods are much more sophisticated than the County Princess Zhang we encountered back then."

Just by openly residing in the escort agency, it was evident that she wasn't easy to deal with. If she was, Ah Yu would have probably kicked her out a long time ago.

Originally, the old lady hadn't thought so much, but now she was being completely led astray by Lu Sanzhu. Anxiety appeared on her face.

She sighed. "Why does our Ah Yu encounter so many troubles and difficulties?"

"Exactly, out of nowhere, a County Princess pops up. This County Princess definitely isn't a good person." Lu Sanzhu emphatically nodded in agreement.

Lu Erbai, "..."

Looking at the Meng Family Escort Agency not far ahead, he said, "Mother, let's wait until we see Ah Yu before jumping to conclusions. Maybe things aren't as serious as they seem. Ah Yu is very capable; she might even be friends with this Princess of Wen'an County."

"Impossible!!" Lu Sanzhu firmly denied.
