Chapter 637 -637: Delay for a Few Days

Shu Yu eyed Meng Yunzheng suspiciously, worried he had given her family an aphrodisiac without her knowledge.

Meng Yunzheng laughed heartily, “I didn’t do anything, it’s just that on the way to exile, I traveled with your family and they saw how skilled I am at martial arts.”

Shu Yu suddenly realized, indeed Meng Yunzheng’s martial arts were extremely impressive.

Having convinced the old lady, Shu Yu felt relieved.

However, Meng Yunzheng also brought her a message, “Lord Qi will be visiting Righteous Dao Village with the governor in five days.”

“Five days??”

“Yes, the news is accurate.” Meng Yunzheng smiled and asked her, “So, about that tiger hunt, do you want to pick another day?”

“Of course.” Shu Yu hurriedly nodded.

The next day, when she met Ma Lu again, she said to him, “I agree to go into the mountains, but can we delay it for a few days?”

Ma Lu frowned, “Delay?”

His friend behind him spoke up, “How can that be? We have everything ready, if we suddenly delay it, what if something unexpected happens?”

Shu Yu sighed, “But I have prepared some items that I need someone to bring over from the prefecture. You know, the journey is a bit far and will take more time.”

“What items?” asked Ma Lu, needing to weigh if they were worth the additional wait.

He knew that Shu Yu’s family had come to Righteous Dao Village with her and that they had a mule carriage, which made Ma Lu and his friends quite envious. They even discussed whether they could borrow it for a trip to the prefecture after hunting the tiger and having a rest day.

It was because of thoughts like these that Ma Lu and his group were very friendly towards Shu Yu.

But delaying for a few days would indeed require reconsideration.

Shu Yu said, “Essential items for survival, not available in the county town, only in the prefecture.”

She did not specify the items, but Ma Lu saw her serious expression and it did not seem like she was lying.

He turned around and consulted with his teammates for a while and eventually nodded, “Okay.”

“Then for these few days, shall we cooperate further?”

“Let’s go, into the mountains.”

The group entered the deep mountains again, Shu Yu and Fang Xiyue walking at the back.

Fang Xiyue waited until the others were far ahead before she asked quietly, “Yu, why did you want to delay for a few days?”

Ma Lu and the others didn’t see a problem, but Fang Xiyue, having spent many days with Shu Yu and being a very detailed person, felt uneasy.

She felt that Shu Yu wasn’t really planning to buy anything from the prefecture, because it didn’t make financial sense.

The reward for hunting a tiger was just so, but the cost of buying goods from the prefecture was high, not to mention the long journey and the rarity of the items in the county town.

Being very thrifty herself, Fang Xiyue quickly concluded it was a loss.

She knew Shu Yu also disliked being at a disadvantage.

Hearing her question, Shu Yu wasn’t surprised; she leaned over and whispered, “Because I heard news that a high-ranking official is coming to Righteous Dao Village in a few days. Seizing the opportunity to make an impression could lead to unexpected gains, don’t you think?”

Fang Xiyue’s eyes widened, “Are you serious?”

Shu Yu nodded. She kept it from Ma Lu because they weren’t that close yet.

But Fang Xiyue was different; the Fang Family had been wrongly exiled here, and Father Fang had almost lost his life.

So, appearing before the governor in a few days was a rare opportunity for the Fang Family.
