Chapter 763: Chapter 763: The Letter Contains a Prescription Chapter 763: Chapter 763: The Letter Contains a Prescription As Meng Yunzheng saw her struggling to dismantle the seat, he kicked and also climbed onto the mule carriage.
Once he got on, he smelled a subtle scent of blood, but this scent was mixed with other odors, as if it was intentionally covering up the blood scent.
He asked Shu Yu to move aside, and with his own effort, he dismantled the seat stuck beside the carriage wall.
It usually wasn’t so difficult to dismantle, mainly because there was a person hidden inside, and this person was too large, causing the seat to bend tightly.
As Meng Yunzheng dismantled the seat, he saw a person hidden underneath, a person with a tall body bent away from him.
Moreover, this person was tied up like a rice dumpling, with hemp ropes coiled around him tightly, looking a bit like a twisted caterpillar at first glance.
Meng Yunzheng turned his head to Shu Yu who nodded affirmatively, “This is the gift I have for you.”
She had deliberately tied a dead knot with the hemp rope and added a bow tie to meet the gift standards.
Outside the carriage, Zhao Xi peeked around, half of his face coming close to the window, naturally seeing the person too.
He immediately widened his eyes and asked in a low voice, “Who is this?”
Shu Yu reached out to flip the person over, but Meng Yunzheng was quicker, “Let me do it, you get off the carriage first.”
Shu Yu then jumped off.
With not enough light inside the carriage, Meng Yunzheng simply dragged the person down from the mule carriage.
Dragging the person over to the shafts, revealing the person’s face, Meng Yunzheng and Zhao Xi fell silent at the same time.
Then both of them simultaneously turned toward Shu Yu, their faces reflecting disbelief.
Shu Yu laughed, “Let’s bring the person inside first, then I’ll explain.”
Meng Yunzheng and Zhao Xi efficiently carried Cheng Dong inside and closed the door of the living room, tying Cheng Dong to a chair before turning to look at her with puzzled eyes.
Shu Yu then explained how she had gone out of the city intending to visit Madam Hou but ended up encountering Cheng Dong.
Hearing her story, Meng Yunzheng’s expression changed slightly, “Did he hurt you?”
He scanned her from top to bottom, fearing that she might have been hurt by Cheng Dong but didn’t mention it.
Shu Yu shook her head, “How could I let myself get hurt? Cheng Dong was in desperate need of help, and my identity fit perfectly for someone who knew him and wanted to curry favor with Lord Cheng. He even had to deceive me to keep me around to help him.”
Meng Yunzheng, assured that she wasn’t hurt, finally felt at ease.
Zhao Xi started laughing loudly, “Cheng Dong is really unlucky, to meet anyone but you. Others might not know his true nature, but you, you know even more than Lord Cheng does.”
He looked sympathetically at the person tied up in knots, thinking that falling into Lord Cheng’s hands might be better than falling into Shu Yu’s hands.
Look, he was even presented as a gift.
“Ah, right, I still haven’t had the time to look at the letter he gave me.” Shu Yu took out the letter from her bosom, “Here you go, see what he wrote inside?”
Meng Yunzheng opened the letter and pulled out the paper inside.
However, after looking for a while, he frowned, and seeing his expression, Shu Yu hastily asked, “What’s wrong?”
Meng Yunzheng handed the letter to her. After Shu Yu read it, she also frowned, “No wonder he was so confident in handing the letter to me; it’s just a prescription.”
Obviously, it was a secret letter, and probably only the intended recipient could understand the specific contents.
