Chapter 820: Going to Transport the Gold
Shu Yu burst into laughter. "Yes."
She walked towards the main hall, glanced at Meng Yunzheng standing nearby, and then looked at Lu Erbai and the others. "Mom, Dad, why did you come? I was planning to leave for the county."
Ruan Shi's eyes were red and teary. It was clear that she had cried tears of joy. She came over and held Shu Yu's hand. "Yunzheng came to tell us."
Meng Yunzheng said, "I've been paying attention to ...

Chapter 819: She Is the Village Lord's Sister
Shu Yu chatted with the Xu family for a while before preparing to leave.
She had spent quite a long time at the manor, and Grandma was still waiting for her in the backyard. Moreover, her parents in the county didn't know the good news yet.
Shu Yu said to Wang Changdong, "I need to go to the county to tell my parents this good news. I'll trouble you with the registration matters tonight. I'll come back tomorrow to hand over...

Chapter 818: Wang Changdong's Opportunity Arrives
The county magistrate wasted no time in taking action once he made a decision. He handled the succession matters on the spot. The rest was left to Shu Yu, as the Prefect couldn't assist with the registration of the roster.
It was getting late, and after a few more words with Shu Yu, the county magistrate bid farewell and left.
Shu Yu and Wang Changdong accompanied him to the door. Suddenly, the county magistrate stopped...

The Shu family was not far from the Xu family today, and they naturally heard what Wang Changdong had said. Anger and bitterness welled up in their hearts, and they couldn't muster the energy to work.
"Lu Shuyu always thinks about others and never considers us. We have lived with her for so many years, yet she shows us no regard."
The one speaking was the Second Madam, but she dared only mutter a few words.

Therefore, Shu Yu could only say to her grandmother, "I think it's probably because the heat patches were really useful."
The old woman thought about it and agreed, "That's right. The heat patches are indeed very convenient. They're cheap and effective."
Didn't the imperial edict say so? "Benefit the Dynasty and benefit the people." The old woman understood those words, which meant that the heat patches were being used in m...

If it weren't for auntie Zhang by her side and the official guards blocking the entrance, she wouldn't have been able to handle it.
Shu Yu also thought about this, so she didn't ask her to return home immediately. There was only her grandmother at home, and she wouldn't be ...

Perhaps it wasn't that her hand couldn't bear the pain but rather that she couldn't bear the thought of her having good days ahead, which had been a shock to her. Since the person had been taken away, Shu Yu didn't pay much attention to it.

Village Lord!
