Chapter 2312: Two Pieces of Information Provided by Shu Quan

Feeling the rough texture in her hand, Shu Yu didn't need to visit Shu Quan's house to know how difficult their lives had become.

Both of them were cautious not to speak out loud, quietly reading the contents of the letter.

The letter contained a lot of information about Shu Feng, and Shu Quan wrote it in great detail. However, whether it was useful or not would be determined by Shu Yu and Meng Yunzheng themselves. Shu Quan mentioned two things that both Shu Yu and Meng Yunzheng were particularly interested in.

The first was that over a month ago, Shu Feng suddenly rolled down from the mountain and injured his leg. The doctor said he couldn't move, so Shu Feng rested at home for more than half a month. During this time, it was Shu Feng's father's wife who took care of him. Shu Feng's wife, Wu Shi, had been absent during this period. She hadn't seen Shu Feng in the room when she returned on the first day of his accident. The doctor explained that Shu Feng had gone to the town to see the doctor. At the time, her tone was reported as somewhat nervous.

Shu Quan suspected that during that half-month, Shu Feng hadn't been in Zhengdao Village at all, that his leg injury was fake, and that he must have gone somewhere to do something illicit.

The second piece of information was a list that Shu Quan provided. It was a list of people who were relatively close to Shu Feng in Zhengdao Village. There weren't many of them, just about a dozen, but most of them were people who had been exiled to this place due to their involvement with the second or third prince's rebellion two years ago.

This list... was quite an unexpected gain.

Shu Yu and Meng Yunzheng exchanged a glance and carefully read the contents of the paper twice. They memorized all the details and names, then burned the paper.

After completing this, they finally rested.

As they lay in bed, it was only then that Meng Yunzheng leaned closer to Shu Yu's ear and whispered softly, "Most of the people on this list are likely remnants of the second prince's faction. Tomorrow, we should inquire ti Xu Dali about the usual behavior of family members and their leave history."

Shu Yu made an affirmative sound, "But Xu Dali is not stupid. If we ask too much, he might become suspicious."

"If he becomes suspicious, so be it. If he can help us, we'll reward him accordingly later, and we can also help him get his crimes pardoned. They were all implicated because of us. They weren't major criminals, and the emperor would likely agree. Xu zhensheng is already fifteen this year, and he's about to marry and have children. If he can get rid of his criminal record, the Xu zhensheng family would be very happy."

Shu Yu considered it and said, "That makes sense. If he can achieve something significant to clear his name, I'm sure Xu Dali will be willing to do anything."

"Let's try probing first." After all, Zhengdao Village was a mixed place, and even though Shu Yu had a good relationship with the Xu family before, it was unclear whether people's feelings had changed over the past few years.

"Okay."

"Get some rest."

The two of them settled down. Outside the estate, two figures had been observing quietly. It was only after the candlelight had gone out that they exchanged glances.

However, they didn't leave but remained silently on watch throughout the night.

It wasn't until early the next morning when some people went out to work that these two individuals finally returned home.

Shu Yu was awakened by the noises from outside. The prisoners of Zhengdao Village had to register at the estate early in the morning, even before dawn.

Although the guest room where Shu Yu and her group stayed was a bit far from the front yard, her mind was preoccupied with thoughts, and she slept lightly, so she was easily awakened.
