Meng Yunzheng thought No wonder she told me to tell the leader to cooperate.
If he didn’t cooperate, in her current situation, she would only be dragged by an officer to walk in front or behind. It was unlikely that they would get a prison carriage.
“Alright, I understand. I’ll help you arrange it.”
Lu Erbai turned his head to look at Meng Yunzheng in a daze. How was this arranged?
After everything was said and done, Meng Yunzheng was about to lead Lu Erbai away. He picked up the lunchbox and was about to greet Lu Erbai.
The latter suddenly came back to his senses and suddenly remembered the bag on his body. He hurriedly took it off. “Yu, this is prepared for you. Inside is…”
After a pause, he put down his hand dejectedly. “Forget it, you can’t bring it with you anyway.”
In the chat just now, Lu Erbai had a more intuitive understanding of exile. If Yu had so many things on her for no reason, she would be discovered.
Lu Erbai simply rummaged through his bag and took out the silver notes she had left behind. “However, you can still hide the silver notes on your person. If those officials treat you badly, you can give them some silver.”
Shu Yu looked at the banknotes in his hand and shook his head with a smile. “Father, didn’t I tell you? I have money.” She looked at Meng Yunzheng and said, “Here, all my money is with him. He’s arranged everything for me along the way.”
Lu Erbai said, “You left all your silver at home. How much money do you have left? What if it’s not enough?”
Shu Yu then looked at Meng Yunzheng. The latter coughed lightly and said softly, “Uncle Lu, Lady Lu has two thousand taels of silver. It’s enough.”
Lu Erbai was speechless. How much?
Shu Yu said helplessly, “Father, I told you before that I would try my best to come home in half a year. I’m not joking. So I’ll leave enough money for myself so that I can settle things in the southwest. That way, I’ll be able to go home soon. Twenty-five thousand taels should be enough.”
Lu Erbai gulped and nodded blankly.
Shu Yu really couldn’t stay any longer. She bade farewell to the two of them and returned to her room in the dark.
Meng Yunzheng waited for her to leave before bringing Lu Erbai, who was still in a daze, out.
After he sent Lu Erbai to the carriage, he said to Zhao Xi, “Wait here for me. I have something to discuss with the officer in charge.”
Zhao Xi waved his hand and Meng Yunzheng left.
Zhao Xi turned his head, wanting to ask Lu Erbai how it was going, but he turned his head and saw Lu Erbai’s complicated expression.
“Uncle Lu, what’s wrong? Didn’t you see Lady Lu? Why? She doesn’t look well?”
Lu Erbai had already come to his senses. Right now, he just felt that it was a little unreal. His mood…It was very complicated.
“No, Yu is very good.” Although the room was dim, he could see that Yu was not in a bad state after she got used to it. She was also in good spirits, and Lu Erbai felt much more at ease.
He couldn’t help but look at the bag in his hand. Zhao Xi followed his gaze and immediately understood. “The bag wasn’t sent out? It’s okay, Uncle Lu. You know that I’m a doctor. With the medicine I give her, she won’t even sneeze. As for money, Lady Lu has plenty of it.”
Lu Erbai turned his head. “You also know how much money she has?”
On second thought, it made sense. Young Master Meng and Doctor Zhao had always been together. It would be strange if he didn’t know.
