Chapter 1791: That Girl is a Village Lord!

Grandpa Guan had just returned, and now he was sent out again.

As he stepped out, he suddenly slapped his forehead. He was acting aimlessly. Where should he inquire? He didn't even know the girl's name.

But if he asked his wife, she wouldn't know either.

Grandpa Guan had to figure things out on his own. He thought it would be difficult, but surprisingly, he found out in less than half an hour.

He went to inquire with a steward of a wealthy household he knew. Stewards were well-informed in their line of work, making them good sources of information.

Thinking that the girl probably had some status, he tried asking about her connections to prominent families in the city. He was taken aback by how quickly he got an answer. Shu Yu's reputation was well-known. Regular people might not be familiar with her, but those families whose members were captured by rebels and taken to the black market as hostages would definitely know her.

The steward elaborated on Shu Yu's accomplishments and achievements in detail, almost making her sound like a brilliant flower.

Grandpa Guan returned home dazed, still shocked by the news.

The rest of the Guan family had returned and were puzzled by his expression. Grandma Guan was getting anxious and gave him a couple of taps, "What's going on? Did you find out?"

"... I found out." Grandpa Guan swallowed hard and raised his head in bewilderment, "Do you know who that girl is?"

Grandma Guan had no idea, "Stop beating around the bush."

"That girl... that girl is a village lord, a village lord personally appointed by the late Emperor."

Grandma was dumbfounded, almost stumbling over her feet. Fortunately, her granddaughter caught her. The granddaughter also wore a shocked expression. They hadn't expected the young lady they had received during the day to have such an esteemed status.

Grandpa Guan continued, "And... furthermore, her fiancé is that scholar Meng, the one who recently passed the county-level examination with the top score. And also, the one who is Deputy Commander under General Huang? I heard that Lady Lu and Scholar Meng have a good relationship with them and can freely enter and exit the county office."

Grandma Guan held his hand tightly in excitement, "Really? A village lord and a scholar? And they have a connection with the Imperial soldiers?"

"Yes."

Grandma Guan burst into laughter, "Great, wonderful! Chen Bing's good days are numbered. I can't wait to see when he comes back. I noticed that Lady Lu was quite upset to hear about the suffering of sister Fang. She'll surely seek revenge for her."

She was ecstatic. She had waited for over thirty years. Finally, she could take her revenge.

That evening, Grandma Guan had her grandson buy half a pound of meat, and they enjoyed a rare meaty meal.

Meanwhile, Shu Yu's expression wasn't too good after leaving the Guan family.

Ying Xi followed behind her and asked softly, "Miss, are we going to find Grandma Fang?"

"It's too late today. Let's go tomorrow." Shu Yu hadn't expected to hear such a story from Grandma Guan. No wonder Grandma Fang had avoided discussing the past. But that was alright. Even though Chen Bing hadn't returned yet, they would eventually meet.

She couldn't go back in a short time, so she might as well wait patiently.

Shu Yu and Ying Xi returned to the Meng Family Escort Agency. However, after walking a couple of streets, she looked toward a shop not far away.

It was a grocery store, the same store Chen Bing had opened.

Chen Bing wasn't there, but he had hired an assistant who was currently in the shop, looking bored.
