Chapter 790: The Most Dazzling Kids in the Streets
However, as soon as Zhao Xi lit the fireworks and they soared into the sky, the doors of every household in the alley burst open.
People looked around and saw a crowd gathering at the entrance of the Lu family's house.
"Is your family setting off fireworks?"
The adults felt a bit embarrassed, but the children quickly ran over.
Especially when they saw Da Hu and San Ya holding the Ground Mouse, lighting ...

Chapter 789: These Fireworks Aren't Suitable for You
Meng Yunzheng was reluctant to be too far away from Shu Yu, especially when she was still trapped in exile.
Seeing that the hot pack had been handed over and she would be able to leave soon, Meng Yunzheng was afraid that something unexpected would happen at this critical moment.
Being by her side made him feel more at ease.
Shu Yu became happy, and at that moment, Zhao Xi came out of the kitchen with Da Hu an...

Chapter 788: The Purse is for Meng Yunzheng
Meng Yunzheng took the note from Shu Yu as she stood in place.
Unfolding it, he saw the words written on it, "Gao Rui, Panlin, possible."
After reading it, his expression changed suddenly, and he looked at Shu Yu with a smile.
Shu Yu thought she had drunk a bit too much wine earlier, causing her vision to blur. Otherwise, why did he seem as if he had won the lottery?
She blinked curiously and asked him, "Did y...

Chapter 787: The Note in the Purse
As they walked into an alley, Meng Yunzheng noticed that Shu Yu's pace slowed down, so he asked, "Shouldn't I be asking you what's wrong? You've been lost in thought the whole way. What's on your mind?"
Shu Yu furrowed her brow and thought for a moment before speaking, "Something strange happened."
"What is it?"
"When my master found Wang Changdong, she specifically asked about the Prefect Magistrate and whether he went to Zhe...

The woman widened her eyes in shock, slammed the courtyard gate shut with a loud bang, and without saying a word, ran inside. As she ran, she shouted, "Something's not right! A fox spirit really came to our doorstep!"
Shu Yu... What fox spirit? What are you imagining?
She turned her head and glanced at Meng Yunzheng not far away, her expression filled with helplessness.
Fortunately, it didn't take long before the courtyard gate...

Chapter 785: Definitely Guilty
Shu Yu couldn't understand why her master always had someone else relay messages and refused to meet her in person. Last time, when her identity was exposed, her master didn't approach her until after completing the task.
She had reason to suspect that her master felt guilty and was afraid she would hold her accountable. So instead of finding her in Zhengdao Village, she simply gave up and didn't bother searching.
"Always causing trouble,...

"Brother Wang?" She quickly stepped aside to let him in. "Why are you here? Is something wrong?"
"No, no, everything's fine. Oh, wait, I actually have something to give you." Wang Changdong took out the purse from his sleeve and handed it to Shu Yu.
