Chapter 200 - 200: Opening the Gifts
The confidante looked hesitant. Facing Xiang Weinan’s questioning gaze, he could only laugh awkwardly and hand over the note in his hand, “Lord, Young Master Meng asked me to give this to you. He has already left.”
Xiang Weinan frowned and muttered, “Does he really think he’s mute? He even chose to write when he’s looking for me?
He waved his hand and the confidante left.
Then, he sat on the armchair and opened the note. There was only one small paragraph on the note: Find the evidence of the Shu family yourself. If you can’t find it, you’re trash. Don’t disturb the Lu family and don’t get close to Lu Shuyu.
The veins on Xiang Weinan’s forehead throbbed. He was the f*cking trash.
He gritted his teeth and tore the note into pieces. Then, he threw the pieces on the ground and stomped on them a few times. In the end, he picked them up angrily and threw them into the brazier, watching as the paper turned into ashes.
Xiang Weinan let out a long sigh, “Alright, I won’t go near Lu Shuyu, but if she takes the initiative to look for me, then it won’t be my problem, right?”
He narrowed his eyes and called his trusted aide in again, giving a few instructions in a low voice.
At this time, Xiang Weinan’s target, Lu Shuyu, was opening the gifts.
The shop finally quieted down. The people from the neighboring shops had already left and the Lu family could finally take a breather.
Although they still hadn’t sold a single piece of clothing, the gift that Lord Xiang had sent over gave them enough confidence. They didn’t care that they didn’t even manage to complete a single deal.
After dealing with the neighbors with great difficulty, only the members of the Lu family were left in the shop. Only then did Lu Erbai and the others turn their puzzled gazes to Shu Yu.
The old lady was the first to ask, “Yu, how did you get to know Young Master Meng?”
Everyone was speechless. Was that the first problem to ask? Though, they were also curious.
Before Shu Yu could reply, Lu Erbai spoke first, “Young Master Meng can be considered Yu’s and my benefactor. Back then, when my leg was injured, it was all thanks to Young Master Meng and Doctor Zhao. Otherwise, my leg would have been crippled a year ago.”
Everyone was enlightened, but they felt that it was a pity that such a handsome person had become mute.
Shu Yu obviously didn’t want to talk about Meng Yunzheng. As such, she took the initiative to ask, “You should be curious about why the new Lord Xiang gave us a gift, right?”
“Right, right, right. How did you know Lord Xiang?” Lu Sanzhu asked anxiously. He knew that Yu was capable and that following her would be the right thing to do. See, she was even friends with such a big shot.
In the future, wouldn’t he, Lu Sanzhu, be able to do whatever he wanted in this county?
In the past, he could only do whatever he wanted in Shangshi Village, and he would occasionally provoke someone he couldn’t. Now, it was different. He, Lu Sanzhu, was also a dignified figure.
Shu Yu looked around and said helplessly, “To be honest, we don’t really know each other. We’ve just met once. I accidentally helped Lord Xiang with a small favor. Lord Xiang’s gift is probably a thank you gift.”
Lu Sanzhu was extremely disappointed. It turned out that he could only do whatever he wanted in the village. What a pity.
The others also felt somewhat regretful. Only Lu Erbai and the others didn’t mind. They smiled and said, “Then it looks like Lord Xiang is also an approachable official. With him in the county should be a good thing for us commoners. Alright, let’s not talk about it anymore. Let’s take a look at the gift that Lord Xiang gave us first..”
