Shu Yu had asked all the questions she needed, and there were no other clues.
She told the soldier, “This way, well know what to do. We’ll mobilize our relatives and friends to ask around and get some clues. I’ll have to trouble you to send someone to Yiren Pavilion to inform them if you have any news of my fourth uncle. The Lu family will be eternally grateful.”
“Don’t worry, Miss Lu. We will do our best to help you find your Fourth Uncle.” With this sentence, Shu Yu was indeed relieved.
She handed over the two bottles of wine in her hand. “This is the token of our appreciation. Please accept it.”
The soldier waved his hands repeatedly. “No. I can’t take it.”
“How about this? Help me bring this wine to your lord. I must return the gift he gave during my shop opening, right?”
That was true.
The officer could not refuse. Shu Yu took out another bottle of wine from behind. “This wine is for you and the other officer. Treat it as a reward for running errands. You deserve this, right?”
He was speechless again.
A moment later, he took all three bottles of wine. He could bring this wine to the lord first. The Lord had agreed. After informing, there should be no problem with accepting it.
The soldier nodded. “Alright, then I’ll make another trip and send this gift to you.”
“Thank you for your hard work. Then we won’t disturb you anymore.”
Shu Yu helped the old lady out of the gate of the county government. The soldier clicked his tongue and sighed again-Miss Lu’s young age and style of doing things really made people feel comfortable.
He sniffed the wine bottle. The smell of wine was powerful, and he was a little greedy.
He picked up the bottle of wine and ran into the county office.
Xiang Weinan had just come out of the study when he saw the soldier carrying a few bottles of wine. He frowned and called out to him, “Hu Li, where did you get this wine?
“My lord.” Hu Li hurriedly ran forward. “This wine is from Miss Lu.” Xiang Weinan was shocked. “Miss Lu? Lu Shuyu? She came?”
“Yeah, she just arrived.”
“Did she come looking for me?
Hu Li shook his head. “No, Miss Lu said she was here to look for me.”
Xiang Weinan was speechless. “It seems that the two of you are very familiar with each other?”
Hu Li didn’t hide anything and told him everything that Shu Yu had asked him to do, including the two bottles of wine that she had given him.
Xiang Weinan held the two bottles of wine. His mood was particularly complicated.
He already knew about Yuan Shanchuan.
It was precisely because he knew he did not care after receiving Meng
Yunzheng’s warning note. Didn’t Meng Yunzheng forbid him from disturbing Lu Shuyu? It didn’t matter. He was waiting for Lu Shuyu to take the initiative to come to him.
He had planned it, but he didn’t expect this little girl to not play by the rules.
If she wanted to look for Yuan Shanchuan, shouldn’t she look for him, the most powerful official in the county office? That way, she would have a higher chance of success.
She found a small soldier to run errands and even gave him a few bottles of wine. Hehe.
Hu Li could clearly feel that something was wrong with his lord’s expression. He asked hesitantly,” Lord, should we not accept this wine?
Xiang Weinan shot him a glance and stuffed his errand wine back to him.
“Take what she gave you, but I’ll make it clear in advance that you’re not allowed to drink and mess things up.”
Hu Li instantly raised a big smiling face, “Don’t worry, my lord.”
Xiang Weinan turned around and left. After a while, he turned back and instructed Hu Li, “Take note of Yuan Shanchuan’s matter. Send two people to look for him..”
