Chapter 1394: Finally Meeting
The carriage headed towards Zhong Village, and the village's geographical location was quite good, not too far from the county city.
It took only half an hour to get there after leaving the city, without any detours.
The road to the village was well-maintained and smooth, indicating the village's prosperity.
Meng Yunzheng asked around and soon found the location of the village head's house, a large brick-and-tile building at the center...

Chapter 1393: Strange Happenings at Zhong Family Village
Shu Yu was taken aback and instinctively lowered her voice, "You are shamelessly stalling her, how did she fall for it?"
Meng Yun Zheng facepalmed, "What do you mean by falling for it? Do you think I have the ability to deceive her?"
Thinking about his master's abilities, Shu Yu realized that saying he deceived her was inappropriate.
"What happened in Zhong Village that made her stay there for so long?"

Chapter 1392: It's the Top Scorer Again!!
When the carriage left the city, the commotion near the bulletin board grew louder. The officials pasted the list with the names of the candidates.
The examinees crowded around, searching for their names.
Someone from the outskirts couldn't see and asked loudly, "Who is the top scorer?"
"Meng Yun Zheng!"
"Wow, it's him again."
"I heard he was the top scorer in the county exam too. Now, he topped the prefectura...

While Aunt He was speculating in her heart, her movements were gentle and swift as she quickly applied the medicine to Shu Yu.
Afterward, she brought some hot water to help Shu Yu wipe her body. After a whole day of riding, and in such hot weather, she felt sticky all over.
However, she couldn't take a bath after applying the medicine, so wiping herself clean was the best she could do.
Shu Yu adjusted her clothes, feel...

Fiancée??
Aunt He received the medicine box in a daze and looked at Shu Yu in shock.
Shu Yu smiled at her and nodded, "Thank you."

She imagined it beautifully, but two days before the half-month mark, she received a letter from Meng Yunzheng, which puzzled her. He had ...

Coincidentally, it was the time for sunflower harvesting, so the workshop became busy again with roasting sunflower seeds and extracting sunflower oil.
