Chapter 2375: Visiting Xu Zhensheng

The last time she had come, there were still people moving around the village, but this time, it was completely different. There were hardly any people lingering outside their doors.

Steward Yu, who was in charge, saw Shu Yu and her group and hurriedly greeted them, "County Princess, you've arrived."

Shu Yu walked towards the village, unexpectedly finding Wang Changdong here.

He also seemed to have gone through a tough time during this period, with wrinkles on his forehead and visibly thinner.

Facing Shu Yu, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, "There's been a big incident in Zhengdao Village, and the County Magistrate is extremely worried. Fortunately, a noble from the capital said that they had people here to take over. Right now, there's still a noble from the capital in the village. The County Magistrate asked me to stay temporarily since I'm familiar with Zhengdao Village. County Princess, would you like to meet this noble from the capital?"

Shu Yu thought for a moment and said, "Alright."

So, Wang Changdong led her to meet the person, who turned out to be the limping man Meng Yunzheng had seen before.

It wasn't until the recent conflict that the people in the village realized he wasn't actually disabled. Not only were his legs agile, but his martial arts skills were also formidable.

He informed Shu Yu that the turmoil in Zhengdao Village had already subsided. However, the situation on Qi Lie's side hadn't been resolved yet, so he stayed here temporarily just in case.

As for the Shu family and the captured rebels, they were all locked up in the county jail.

After learning about the recent developments, Shu Yu couldn't wait to visit the Xu family.

The Xu family members were all present, and they didn't know that Shu Yu had come to Zhengdao Village until they heard voices outside. Xu Dali and Lin Shi were surprised when they came out to greet her.

"County Princess?"

Shu Yu entered the house and asked, "I heard that Zhensheng was injured. How is he?"

Lin Shi looked at him, seeing that he had lost a lot of weight, and replied, "Thank you for your concern, County Princess. He's fine now, but he did suffer quite a bit."

After that, she led everyone inside.

Xu Zhensheng had been shot in the wrist and slashed in the chest. Xu Dali said that at first, they almost couldn't save him, but fortunately, Wei Qin was there.

Before this, when Wei Qin was injured, Zhao Xi left some life-saving medicine for her and explained how to use it. He even left some rare medicinal herbs used for life-threatening situations.

So, when Xu Zhensheng was brought in and Lin Shi was panicking, Wei Qin quickly fed him the medicine and stopped the bleeding, saving his life for the time being.

When the physician arrived, he mostly used the medicine provided by Zhao Xi.

Now, Xu Zhensheng could sit up, but he still didn't look too well.

Seeing Shu Yu, Xu Zhensheng felt a bit guilty and said, "Big Sister."

Shu Yu said in a disapproving tone, "Didn't I tell you last time? Stay out of these matters, but you still took the initiative."

"I'm sorry, I won't dare next time."

Shu Yu didn't really believe him, but he wasn't her own child, so she couldn't manage him too much. She said, "Fortunately, you're safe. Take this as a lesson."

Xu Zhensheng grinned and then asked, "So, did my injury help you guys in any way?"

Shu Yu smiled, "It helped a lot. You've made significant contributions this time." She looked up at the roof and continued, "I think it won't be long before your family can leave this place."

"Really?" Xu Zhensheng was excited and looked at his parents.

Xu Dali let out a sigh of relief, feeling as if a heavy burden had been lifted. Lin Shi was happy too, but she couldn't help feeling a bit sad when she thought about how they had taken such great risks and almost lost their son's life to achieve this. Her eyes welled up slightly.

After visiting Xu Zhensheng, Shu Yu asked him to rest and then went to see Wei Qin.
