Chapter 747: Chapter 747: I Have Something to Show You Chapter 747: Chapter 747: I Have Something to Show You Shu Yu had no objections to booking the room, but what surprised her was, “My parents are here too?”
“Yes,” Yunzheng smiled. “Not just them, I’ve brought you something else. You’ll find out once we get back.”
Shu Yu, seeing his secretive demeanor, became very curious.
She turned to look at Wang Changdong, who was talking to Zhao Xi about the room booking matter.
Zhao Xi was thinking that since Shu Yu was working here, he might be able to haggle the price down a bit.
But before he could speak up, Wang Changdong waved his hand and said, “Why talk about money? Them staying over for one night isn’t a big deal. Lady Lu is a very important steward on our manor, how could we charge her money?”
Continuing, Wang Changdong turned seriously to Shu Yu, “Steward Lu, the stewards working on our manor should have their board and lodging included. You eat and live at home, which already saves the manor some expenses, so we absolutely can’t charge your parents.”
Shu Yu was somewhat dumbfounded. The expenses she had saved could compensate for her parents’ accommodation?
Hmm, if Wang Changdong went into business, he would surely fail.
But she appreciated his kindness, “Then thank you, Brother Wang.”
“You’re welcome. Since your parents are here, you should hurry back home. It’s a rare chance to meet, have a good reunion.”
Shu Yu said her goodbyes and, feeling impatient, followed Yunzheng and Zhao Xi.
Just as they reached the entrance of her home, she heard lively noises inside.
Unable to resist a smile, Shu Yu strode in, “Dad, Mom.”
“Is Yu back?” Madam Ruan immediately stood up, stepped forward to inspect her, and seeing that she wasn’t thin and looked well, she relaxed and pulled her to sit down.
Shu Yu asked curiously, “How come you’re here?” She was thinking about going to the county town tomorrow.
Madam Ruan explained, “Didn’t the weather suddenly turn cold? Most of our sold food is taken away, and it cools down quickly, which makes it less appetizing. So, sales at the stall decreased. Just as your dad finished his work, we thought it would be nice to come and see you.”
“Is business not doing well?”
Madam Ruan waved her hand, “Just these few days. It’s not just us–fewer customers are visiting all the stalls outside. When the weather turns cold, people prefer to stay indoors.”
Unless they had to go out for work, but these people preferred something with soup to warm up.
Shu Yu thoughtfully nodded. Yes, that was indeed a problem.
Just as she was pondering, Lu Erbai suddenly said to her, “By the way, Yu, the matter with the Huoyou Escort Agency is resolved. The Head Escort even came to our home to find me, saying it was thanks to you, and he even thanked me. What exactly happened?”
It seems Guard Cheng Xian resolved the matter and even reported it to the Huoyou Escort Agency?
Shu Yu briefly explained the sequence of events to Lu Erbai. “It was a coincidence; who could have expected that among those suspicious people the constables caught, some were related to the incident with the Huoyou Escort Agency?”
Lu Erbai laughed heartily, but his excitement caused him to cough a couple of times.
Shu Yu hurriedly went to get water, but Yunzheng was quicker and had already handed a cup to Lu Erbai.
After he had calmed down, Shu Yu patted his back and then turned to Yunzheng, “Didn’t you say earlier that you had something to show me once we got home? What is it?”
