Shu Yu was about to nod when she suddenly raised her hand, "Wait a moment."
"County Princess, do you have any instructions?" Cheng Feng immediately asked.
Shu Yu's gaze fell on Bixan, who was still kneeling on the ground. After Cheng Jiatong had been taken away, she became even more uneasy. Although Master Cheng had come and seemed to have no intention of blaming her, he even cleared her of the charge of bribing the ruffians.
However, deep down, she was still unsettled and feared that afterward, neither Master Cheng nor Miss would spare her.
Seeing Shu Yu looking her way, Bixan's heart trembled violently, and her eyes were filled with anxiety.
Cheng Feng glanced at her and said, "Answer County Princess's questions honestly."
"...Yes." Bixan trembled and agreed.
Shu Yu walked up to her and said, "I assume you've figured it out by now. Your young miss did indeed mistake the person, right?"
After a moment of contemplation, Bixan nodded, "Yes."
"She mistook me for someone else?"
Bixan said, "This servant doesn't know for sure. It's just that Miss overheard Second Madam of the Gan family saying that the Fourth Young Master of the Gan family was meeting someone in that private room. Second Madam said that the Fourth Young Master was going to propose to that girl, and it seemed like the girl was a young lady from a small place in the county. Since Miss has always liked the Fourth Young Master of the Gan family, she became hostile towards this girl."
Shu Yu suddenly realized that her young miss had mistaken her for Ah Han.
Bixan continued, "Coincidentally, County Princess came out of that private room, looked beautiful, and was of a similar age. Miss thought that County Mistress was the girl the Fourth Young Master of the Gan family was meeting, so she came forward to warn County princess to stay away from the Fourth Young Master."
Shu Yu nodded, "I see. Although I am not the person the Fourth Young Master of the Gan family was meeting, it is true that my younger sister is engaged to him. So..."
She looked at Master Cheng and said, "Please inform your Fourth Miss that the two families have already discussed the marriage. If she still wants to cause trouble and harm my sister, then I won't be at fault."
Cheng Feng's pupils contracted slightly, and he immediately said, "County Princess, rest assured. As soon as my daughter finishes packing, I will have someone send them away."
The County Princess's fiancΓ© was none other than the young man who always accompanied Lord Qi.
Shu Yu now thought that it might not be a bad thing to send Cheng Jiatong away. This person clearly had a vengeful nature, and if she saw Gan Rui and Meng Han together, she might do something reckless.
With the matter resolved, Shu Yu didn't want to stay any longer and took her leave.
Master Cheng initially wanted to accompany her, but Cheng Xian preempted him, saying, "I'll accompany the County Princess."
Master Cheng stopped in his tracks, standing in place and watching as they walked further away. His expression gradually darkened.
He glanced at Bixan, who was still kneeling to the side, and said to the steward, "Let her go to the southwest with Miss."
Bixan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but thinking about her young miss's temperament, especially now that they were about to be sent to the southwest, she was afraid that her young miss's temper would be even more irritable. Serving by her side in the days to come would be quite difficult.
As Shu Yu and Cheng Xian were about to reach the door, with only Ying Xi by their side and even Xia Yan, who was holding onto the ruffian, standing far away, Shu Yu finally couldn't help but say, "This Master Cheng... his behavior today is somewhat abnormal."
Cheng Xian gave a bitter smile. "Yes, sending the Cheng family members to the southwest was his true intention."
