Chapter 1861: The Whole Family Goes to the prefectural city

Ever since the day before yesterday, when Grandma Lu learned about Grandma Fang's situation, she had been holding in her excitement. She was about to burst with happiness.

She grabbed Grandma Fang's arm and said, "Come on, let's go find Ah Yu and ask her how she plans to handle this. She came back late yesterday, and we didn't have a chance to talk."

The two of them happily trotted to Shu Yu's courtyard. Seeing Grandma Lu's eager expression, Shu Yu couldn't help but smile.

"Grandmother, don't worry, let's wait a bit longer."

This wait turned out to be about half an hour. Grandma Fang was growing increasingly restless, but Grandma Lu remained calm.

She comforted her sister, "Don't worry, Ah Yu said to wait a bit longer. Let's wait. You don't know Ah Yu's abilities; she can definitely do what she says. Chen Bing is doomed."

Not long after, Yuan Gui returned. His game usually sold quickly, but this time, because he had a wild boar, it took a bit longer to sell.

Shortly after he returned, a child rushed to the Meng family escort agency, his forehead covered in sweat. He was looking for Ying Xi.

Yes, he was looking for Ying Xi. In the past few days, many people had come to find the county lord, and they were easily mistaken by the gatekeepers as opportunistic individuals. But looking for Ying Xi would never go wrong.

As soon as Shu Yu heard that a child was looking for Ying Xi, she knew who it was.

She walked out in three strides, grabbed two oranges, and handed them to the child. The child accepted them with joy and quickly said, "Miss, I saw Chen He getting ready to leave. He's taking his wife back to the city."

Shu Yu asked him, "Have they already left?"

"As soon as I saw them loading the cart, I knew something was up. I deliberately went up to ask. Chen He said they're going back to the capital. They just came back yesterday, and they didn't need to prepare much to leave today. During the time I ran over here, I estimate they're already in line at the city gate."

Shu Yu understood. She said to the child, "Thank you for coming to tell me. You've worked hard. Here's a reward for your effort."

The child looked at the twenty-some coins in his hand, his eyes shining, "Thank you, Miss. If you need me to watch someone again in the future, I promise I won't let you down. I'll keep it a secret and won't tell anyone."

"Okay, if I need you, I'll find you. You can go home now."

The child took the money and ran off quickly.

Then, Shu Yu turned to Ying Dong behind her and said, "You follow Chen He first. Find out where his family is staying now, and wait for us at the city gate once you know."

"Understood." Ying Dong had seen Chen He yesterday and knew what he looked like.

He quickly brought out a horse and ran towards the city gate without saying a word.

Shu Yu returned to the escort agency with Ying Xi and said to Meng Han, who was discussing matters with Meng Xiao Shu,

"Uncle Meng, we're going to the prefectural city. We won't be coming back today."

Meng Han was surprised, "You're going to the city? Who? You and Ying Xi?"

"More than that, my grandma and my father are coming too."

Even Meng Xiaoshu was shocked this time, "The entire family is going to the city? What are you going to do?"

"Settle some scores."

Meng Xiaoshu, "... What?"

However, Meng Han had an idea. She laughed heartily, "Do you need me to help you make a show of strength?"

"No need, there are so many of us. Uncle Meng, you all can continue with your work. We'll leave now."

Meng Xiaoshu wasn't insistent, "Alright, you go. After all, with Ah Yun and Sir Qi over in the city, if you have any issues, you can ask them for help."

"Okay."
