Fully Leveled Bigshot Becomes A Farmgirl

Chapter 2166: Chapter 2166: The One Who Opened the Door Was Xiang Weinan

Shu Yu found it strange, “Why are you telling me all this?”

Xue Yun lowered her head and after a moment, she smiled bitterly, “A few years ago, my father was ostracized, and my mother and I were troubled whenever we attended banquets. Once, I was almost pushed into the water, but it was Madam Xiang who stepped in to help me. To her, it might have been just a small favor, but to me, it was a significant kindness. Later, when the Xiao Family encountered trouble, fortunately, Madam Xiang was not implicated, but her days were no longer as they used to be. I…”

She paused, seemingly embarrassed, “I am insignificant and can’t offer her much help. At times, to make my life easier, I even echoed some idle gossip. You can call me selfish or cowardly, but ultimately, I am ungrateful. But this time, knowing someone intends harm against her, and it’s a matter of life and death, I can’t just stand by and watch her suffer. So, I wish to ask the county magistrate for help, whether to talk to Madam Xiang or ask Young Master Meng to warn Lord Xiang. At least there could be some precaution.”

In fact, Xue Yun did not come to Shu Yu on impulse. Wu Ling might not know, but she had some understanding of Shu Yu.

Her father is a Vice Minister of the Ministry of Industry, Lord Yao is the Minister of Public Works, and her father’s superior. Lord Yao is an honest man, who received some blueprints earlier, and discussed them with her father, saying that they were sent from Dongan Province and drawn by a craftsman named Lu.

And this craftsman Lu is the father of the Wen’an County Lord.

Lord Yao said he met Lu Erbai in the southwest, and the two of them were quite close. Naturally, conversation would drift towards Lu family’s most successful daughter, Lu Shuyu.

Xue Yun had a good relationship with her father and learned a lot about Shu Yu’s experiences in the exile area from him. Coincidentally, while recuperating, Xiao Ruojun, who once helped her, also went to Dongan Province, so her attention to Shu Yu increased.

She seriously considered before coming to Shu Yu.

After Shu Yu listened, she fell silent. She did not know Xue Yun, and whether what she said was true remains to be investigated.

If one were to be a bit conspiratorial, there would also be suspicion if she was trying to use them to deal with that Princess Jiahui.

However, it was a clue after all, whether true or false, let Xiang Weinan judge for himself.

She nodded at Xue Yun, “I understand, thank you for coming to tell me specifically.”

“As long as the county magistrate does not blame me for being abrupt, if I can help Madam Xiang, I can have some peace of mind,” Xue Yun smiled, “Goodbye then.”

She got off the carriage, bowed to Shu Yu, and then went back to her own carriage.

Sitting in the carriage for a while, Ying Xi softly asked, “Miss, are we still going outside the city?”

“Yes.”

The carriage started moving again, heading straight out of the city.

This time, no one followed behind the carriage, but once out of the city, Shu Yu had some trouble.

There were quite a few manors outside the capital, and although she had the address, it was still not easy to find.

By the time the carriage finally stopped outside the Xiao family’s manor, it was already half an hour later.

Shu Yu suspected they might have to spend the night outside the city, as if they delayed any longer, the city gates would be closed at dusk.

“Go and knock on the door.” Shu Yu got off the carriage, raising her eyes to survey the manor.

The manor was quite large, after all, it was purchased during the Xiao family’s peak, far superior compared to the one she had in Jiangyuan County.

After Ying Xi knocked for a while, the manor’s gate opened.

However, the person who came out made Ying Xi pause for a moment, “Lord Xiang?”
