Chapter 1747: Full-level Boss Dressed As a Peasant Girl
Chapter 1747: Shu Yu's Straightforwardness
Seeing Granny Fang's distressed expression, Shu Yu was tempted to offer her help. After all, the person before her was most likely her aunt. Since her grandmother cared for Fang Granny, she couldn't just stand by and watch her worry.
However, until the matter reached a conclusion, Shu Yu wanted to gather more information about Granny Fang's situation.
Thus, she comforted Granny Fang, saying, "It's alright. Didn't I tell you? The constables from the yamen have all been arrested. They're seriously short-staffed over there, and Yuan Gui has been helping out these days. Leaving aside other things, food expenses and compensation for his efforts are guaranteed."
Granny Fang looked puzzled. "You're saying Gui is working at the yamen now?"
"Of course, and he's putting in a lot of effort."
Granny Fang brightened up, "That kid, he's quite resourceful." However, she quickly furrowed her brows again. "But he's injured. What if his wound reopens?"
"You said he's resourceful, right? He surely won't let himself get hurt again."
Granny Fang hesitated, then nodded absentmindedly. "True. Alright, then I'll go to the kitchen and prepare something for him. This kid doesn't know how to take care of himself. He didn't come back yesterday; I wonder if he went hungry."
Saying so, she quickly got up and headed to the kitchen.
Shu Yu stood behind her, opening her mouth as if to say something, but ultimately she just shook her head helplessly.
Once things were stable here, she thought, she should pay a visit to Granny Fang's village.
Soon, Granny Fang emerged carrying a basket. Seeing her bustling around, Shu Yu saw some resemblance to her own grandmother in her demeanor.
Shaking her head, she went inside to check on Uncle Meng.
Meng Xiaoshu was sleeping more now, occasionally waking up just to eat a meal or exchange a few words, then slipping back into slumber.
However, he was gradually recovering.
Standing nearby, Ying Xi asked in a hushed voice, "Miss, were all of Master Meng's injuries caused by Jiang Kuanyu?"
That person who seemed gentle, spoke kindly, and showed extra patience with children turned out to be so ruthless?
Shu Yu responded with a vague "Hmm," realizing she had also misjudged.
The two spoke softly for a moment when Uncle Meng on the sickbed slowly opened his eyes.
Shu Yu noticed first and hurriedly said, "Uncle, you're awake? Doctor Mi and the others went out. Are you hungry? I'll bring you something from the kitchen."
Ying Xi spoke up first, "I'll go." With that, she dashed off.
Uncle Meng smiled faintly. "Thank you for your hard work."
Shu Yu helped him sit up, leaning against the headboard. "Uncle, are you feeling better?"
"Much better. In a few more days, I'll be up and about."
Shu Yu smiled. After a few chuckles, she noticed Uncle Meng's expression turn somewhat dejected. She asked in a hushed voice, "Uncle, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell somewhere?"
"No, I'm fine. It's just..." He hesitated for a moment, then looked up at Shu Yu. "Shu Yu, can you tell me, have you seen, have you seen my brother-in-law, Tao Feili? How is he...?"
He had asked this question when he woke up earlier, from Meng Qi.
But Meng Qi hadn't traversed the secret passage or entered the black market, so he wasn't aware. He had only said that their elders had rescued all the young masters from the black market, but he hadn't seen Uncle Tao there.
So, either he was still in the black market, or...
Shu Yu hesitated, unsure whether she should tell him, but Uncle Meng was looking at her intently. "Go ahead, I'm mentally prepared."
Shu Yu replied, "He's dead."
