After Lu Sanzhu and his wife finished their worship on the mountain, they began vigorously promoting Shu Yu.
They said that Shu Yu was highly regarded by two emperors. The late emperor had granted her the title of Village lord, and the current emperor had made her the County Princess, even bestowing her with many gifts.
Not only that, but Ah Yu also had connections with the imperial guards and was friends with the mighty General. The people of Chenggu County greatly admired her, and as fellow townsfolk, how could they lose to the people of Chenggu County?
Lu Sanzhu almost treated Shu Yu like a deity.
Moreover, by the time Da Niu had delivered the first batch of goods and returned, news of Shu Yu becoming the County Mistress had spread far and wide.
Shu Yu listened and couldn't help but pat her forehead. How could her third uncle's competitive spirit be so strong?
Da Niu chuckled, "Anyway, be prepared for this. You'll be quite busy when you return." After all, visitors kept coming one after another. "But the business in the shop has become even more prosperous after the news of you becoming the County Princess spread."
Shu Yu chuckled awkwardly and said, "Well, at least there are some benefits, right?"
Both Da Niu and Yuan Gui laughed together.
After finishing their meal, the three young men had just returned. They quickly ate something to fill their stomachs and urged Shu Yu to continue their journey.
Da Niu and the others were also getting ready to depart. After leaving the city, the two groups separated and headed in different directions.
Because they had left a bit late, Shu Yu and her group began to travel faster, avoiding stops and heading straight for Tianning County.
Fortunately, Tianning County was not far from the capital. When they arrived at Quansheng Escort Agency, it was only a quarter past the hour.
At the entrance of Quansheng Escort Agency, a person was cleaning the steps. When he saw the two carriages stop at the entrance, he was momentarily surprised and asked, "Who are you looking for?"
Ying Xi, looking at the unfamiliar face, surmised that he was someone from the Yan family helping with the cleaning.
She asked, "Is Master Meng here? We came from Chenggu County."
The thin man who was sweeping immediately said when he heard Chenggu County, "Please wait a moment."
He ran inside and, in no time, Meng Pei came out from the courtyard. When he saw Shu Yu and the others, he was pleasantly surprised. "Ah Yu? How did you come over? Please come in."
Shu Yu and her group entered the courtyard, and they started to examine the completely renovated Quansheng Escort Agency.
What was once a dilapidated and abandoned place had been completely restored, and there were potted plants and flowers in the corners, giving it a fresh and lively atmosphere.
Meng Pei walked in while reminiscing, saying, "This courtyard owes its appearance to Yan Bo. He restored it to its former glory. Yun Zheng's mother used to love planting flowers and plants here. I remember that area over there used to be filled with rows of orchids, and it looked particularly beautiful during the flowering season."
Shu Yu followed his pointing finger to see that there were also orchids there now, but currently, there were only two or three pots.
As they walked further, Shu Yu couldn't help but feel touched. She realized that many years ago, when Meng Yunzheng's mother was still alive, this place had been warm and welcoming.
"Uncle Meng, have you settled everything here?" Shu Yu asked.
Meng Pei shook his head. "The sword has been taken care of, but I haven't found the person who initially planned to take this escort agency. I asked San Leizi, but he hasn't seen anyone trying to bribe him to take over this place since that incident."
Although the XuanYuan Sword had been sent away, the identity of the person who wanted to acquire it was still a mystery. It might not even matter anymore, and that person might have left. However, Meng Pei couldn't help but feel uneasy about it."
