Chapter 1228: Chapter 1228: Ying Dong and Ying Xi Have Returned

Nanny Gu then put down the carriage curtain and let the coachman continue forward.

The two horses in front were not moving quickly at first, as the street was narrow and it was easy to bump into people.

But once they turned into Fenghuai Street, the road was much wider, not to mention there were fewer pedestrians. The two horses immediately picked up speed, galloping forward rapidly.

It wasn’t long before they stopped at the Lu family’s main gate.

The person on horseback leapt down and strode inside.

The gatekeeper froze when he saw them, then exclaimed with delight, “Ying Dong, Ying Xi, you’ve returned!”

Ying Dong remained quite steady, nodding slightly.

Ying Xi had already dashed inside at full speed.

When she reached the front yard, she saw the old lady watering flowers under the veranda. She quickly went over and stood at attention to greet her.

The old lady put down the watering can in her hand and said with a cheerful smile, “So Ying Xi is finally back? Was your trip smooth?”

“Smooth, thank you for your concern, old lady.”

“That’s good. Yu is at home today, why don’t you go to Yu Garden to see her.”

“Alright.” Ying Xi nodded repeatedly and turned to run to the back yard.

Shu Yu was pondering how many people to recruit for the workshop once it was completed.

But as she thought about it, her mind wandered to Meng Yunzheng. In just two days, it would be her sister and Zhao Xi’s wedding, yet they hadn’t returned.

Logically, they should have arrived home a few days ago.

Shu Yu was worried they might have encountered some problem on the road.

She sighed, her mind a bit muddled, so she decided to stop thinking about it.

Getting up, she took a cloak from the clothes rack and draped it over herself, planning to go out for a walk.

Just as she tied the string of her cloak, hurried footsteps sounded from outside, followed by Ying Xi’s somewhat excited voice, “Miss.”

Shu Yu was startled, then turned back with joy.

Sure enough, she saw Ying Xi stepping into the room.

“Miss, I’m back.”

Shu Yu beamed a wide smile, stepping forward a few paces to inquire, “You’re finally back. How did everything go, did you get it all done?”

“It went well.” Ying Xi nodded, her breath still a bit erratic.

Shu Yu let her sit down and pushed a cup of tea over.

Ying Xi took a sip and then said, “My mother’s grave has been relocated to my father’s side, but my father’s relatives initially disagreed, saying that my mother had remarried, so how could she be buried with my father? Fortunately, Young Master Meng returned and helped us come up with a plan, so we managed to relocate it.”

She knew that Shu Yu would surely want to know about Meng Yunzheng, so she glossed over her own affairs and quickly changed the topic to him, “Young Master Meng and Uncle Meng came back with us, but Uncle Meng said it was his first time visiting Jiangyuan County, and his first time visiting the family, so he couldn’t arrive looking disheveled and worn-out. That would be too improper. So they first went to Liufang Alley to freshen up and will come over later. They asked me and my brother to come ahead and inform you, Miss.”

Shu Yu nodded, feeling a slight relief knowing they had arrived in Jiangyuan County, but soon frowned again, “Why are you back so late? Logically, you should have returned a few days ago.”

Ying Xi nodded, “Indeed, we should have returned earlier, but on the day we set off, we ran into some acquaintances.”

When she mentioned ‘acquaintances,’ Ying Xi couldn’t help but glance at Shu Yu, her expression rather intriguing.

Shu Yu raised an eyebrow, “What, do these acquaintances have something to do with me?”
