Meng Yunzheng was silent.
He had written too much last time. If it was an ordinary person, they would have read it and paid attention to the incident.
However, the person he met was Lu Shuyu. Based on the timeline and his personality, she guessed that he might be pretending to be mute.
He paused momentarily and asked, “Just like you said, the person who plotted against us is not simple. It’s also possible that we know who’s the one who’s trying to harm us, but we can’t afford to offend them. What if we can only hide in a place like Jiangyuan County?”
Shu Yu nodded. “That’s a possibility, but I saw Lord Xiang last time. You and Lord Xiang know each other, right?”
Zhao Xi widened his eyes. “You even know about this?”
He looked at Meng Yunzheng suspiciously. “Did you tell her?”
Meng Yunzheng glanced at him. “I’m not you.”
“I…” Zhao Xi was furious and asked Shu Yu, “Then, how did you know?” “Didn’t the eldest son of the former county magistrate come to find you last time, injure you, and threaten Young Master Meng to send him out of the city?”
Zhao Xi nodded. “Is there a problem with that?”
“That is a problem.” However, the one who answered Zhao Xi this time was not Shu Yu but Meng Yunzheng. He followed Shu Yu’s train of thought and continued, “You think the county magistrate’s son only looked for me because he knew I could send him out, right? You knew it was Lord Xiang who could do it. ”
Shu Yu smiled. “That’s right. The reason why the county magistrate’s son could find you is either because he thinks that you’re capable or because he knows that you have connections. Obviously, he didn’t know that you were skilled and capable. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have dared to come to threaten you with just two people. Then, the only thing left is connections. At that time, the entire Jiangyuan County was under Lord Xiang’s control, so your connections could only be Lord Xiang.”
When Zhao Xi heard this, he only felt he was not smart enough.
What was Miss Lu’s brain made of? How did she manage to guess this?
He had to drink some water to calm himself.
Shu Yu concluded, “So, you knew Lord Xiang, and you and Lord Xiang appeared in Jiangyuan County one after the other, and then the county magistrate of Jiangyuan County was eliminated. Then it’s unlikely that your purpose here is to hide from the people who plotted against you, right?”
Of course, she still didn’t know why they pretended to be mute and a fool. This was probably a hidden trick, or someone had indeed plotted against them, and they were playing along.
The thing she cared about more now was…
Shu Yu sized up the two of them and suddenly smiled brightly. “Then can I ask now, why did you approach me?”
Zhao Xi spurted out the water he drank. He quickly raised his hand to wipe it and coughed. “What? What approach you? Didn’t you just say it? We are here for the county magistrate of Jiangyuan County. It was an accident that we met you.”
“Oh? Well, maybe it was an accident at first, but it wasn’t after that.” Shu Yu turned around and stared at him with a plastered smile. “Otherwise, why did you pretend to be bullied by a group of children and deliberately lure me here? You’re not a fool. Don’t you feel ashamed?”
Zhao Xi was speechless. Yes, it was pretty embarrassing. Now that he thought about it, he felt his scalp go numb.
Shu Yu looked at Meng Yunzheng again.. “So, why did you approach me? To get evidence of the crimes of the Shu family from me?
