The Ace Bigshot Becomes A Farmgirl-Chapter 1741: The Peaceful Meng Family Escort Agency

So Shu Yu didn’t refuse, she nodded, "Alright, I’ll head to the escort agency first. You should finish your work and come back early. We can switch shifts by then."

"Okay."

Meng Yunzheng still had many things to do. Dealing with the aftermath was no easy task, keeping him busy.

Shu Yu yawned and headed back with Ying Xi.

The night streets were rarely noisy, especially towards the city gate; it was still loud and clamorous even now.

In contrast, the Meng family escort agency was much quieter.

But as soon as she entered, she saw that no one had rested. On such a tense and dangerous night, no one could sleep peacefully. However, everyone had come out of the secret room and was resting in the rooms.

Still worried, they squeezed into a room three to five at a time.

Uncle Gao was the one who stayed at the escort agency. Seeing Shu Yu, he quickly came forward to quietly inquire about the situation.

Shu Yu briefly explained, and upon hearing the county magistrate had been arrested, Uncle Gao let out a long sigh of relief.

Seeing Shu Yu’s tired face, he hurried her to rest.

Shu Yu nodded, and without seeing anyone else, she went to sleep in the guest room prepared for her.

However, perhaps due to her previously unstable schedule or because something was on her mind, she woke up at 5 a.m to 7 a.m.

It was still dark, but Shu Yu sat up in bed, taking a while to gather herself.

After resting the whole night, she felt much more refreshed.

Unable to stay in the room, Shu Yu put on some clothes and went out. Ying Xi, sleeping in the next room, also got up after hearing the noise.

"Miss, you’re awake."

As she left the room, subtle sounds surrounded her as the servants of the escort agency began to busy themselves.

Seeing Shu Yu, they greeted her, "Good morning, Monarch Lu Xiang."

Shu Yu nodded and pulled someone aside to ask, "Has everyone returned? Where’s Yun?"

That servant replied, "Everyone else has returned. The Eldest Sir came back an hour ago and is resting in the adjoining room."

Shu Yu glanced towards the adjoining room; coming back an hour ago meant he had been busy all night.

She nodded and turned to Ying Xi, saying, "Let’s go. We’ll head to the street for a look."

The two walked slowly along the corridor; apart from the night guards, everyone else was still resting, enjoying a rare moment of peace and tranquility.

Thus, Shu Yu also kept her footsteps light, trying not to disturb others.

Unexpectedly, just as she was about to reach the end of the corridor, arguments erupted from the adjacent room. Despite being hushed, the voices were particularly clear in the calm atmosphere, instantly catching everyone’s attention.

Originally, Shu Yu didn’t want to eavesdrop. Although she was curious by nature, she didn’t want to get involved in the commotion at such times.

Unexpectedly, she heard her own name and Meng Yunzheng’s amidst the argument. The voices of the people arguing were very familiar.

Could it be... Meng Han and Ms. Tao?

Shu Yu’s steps paused slightly, turning her head towards the door.

The argument inside continued, Ms. Tao’s voice on the verge of breaking, "Ah Han, say something! Your Eldest Uncle, your cousin, and Lu Shuyu have all returned, so why hasn’t your father? Didn’t they say those mountain bandits have all been caught? So where’s your father, huh, where’s your father?"

Meng Han replied irritably, "I don’t know, Mother, asking me won’t help. I truly don’t know where my father is."
