Chapter 2124: Chapter 2124: He Came

Early the next morning, just as dawn was breaking, Meng Yunzheng informed Shu Yu and left with a letter.

The Zhao Xi family thought he hadn’t returned last night. Zhao Xi, with a mischievous grin, said to Shu Yu, “Look at him. As soon as you’re not around, he starts staying out all night. Last night we happened to bump into him. How many nights has he stayed out during the time you weren’t here?”

Xia Yan widened his eyes, accusing him of stirring up trouble. Aren’t you and the young master longtime friends?

Just as he was about to explain, he heard Shu Yu say, “He came back last night. We even chatted for a while.”

Zhao Xi, “…”

He didn’t believe it. “He came back last night?”

“You were just sleeping too soundly to hear. Otherwise, you could ask Ying Xi?”

Zhao Xi looked to the girl on the other side. Ying Xi nodded, “Yes, I heard him. Not only last night, he also spoke with Miss for a while early this morning when he went out.”

Ying Xi stayed in the same room as Shu Yu, and being Shu Yu’s maid and guard, she certainly heard such a commotion when Shu Yu went and came back.

Zhao Xi was stifled, snorting a couple of times unhappily.

Shu Yu didn’t bother with him, and after finishing her meal and teasing Little Huohuo for a while, she said to Song Le, “Your uncle has some matters to attend to and will return later. Let’s go buy things first, then visit your aunt together.”

Little Song Le nodded repeatedly, “Okay.”

He had already finished eating and darted back to his room, rummaged through his backpack for a while, and then scampered out.

Shu Yu noticed his pouch was bulging, clearly packed with many things.

After saying goodbye to Shuyou, she took Little Song Le out.

“Have you decided what to buy?”

Little Song Le, “I want to buy clothes for Aunt.” He noticed yesterday that Aunt’s clothes weren’t very thick.

At this time of year, the capital is still quite cold, but Aunt Hong’s coat seemed a bit thin.

Seeing he had a plan, Shu Yu took him to the ready-to-wear clothes shop.

Most of the clothes there were brightly colored, suitable for young girls. If they bought such clothes back, Aunt Hong probably wouldn’t wear them.

After looking for a while, they finally chose a cotton-padded coat suitable for Aunt Hong.

The clothes were somewhat large, but it didn’t matter. It’s always better for clothes to be a bit too big rather than too small.

The fabric of the coat was not bad, quite comfortable to the touch, but a bit pricey, costing three taels of silver.

This price was fine for Shu Yu, but for ordinary people, it was a shock.

Little Song Le lowered his head, rummaged through his cloth bag, his face beaming, and placed a pouch on the counter, on tiptoe, “Here, I have it.”

The shopkeeper glanced at Shu Yu, and seeing she had no objections, he smiled and said, “Alright, young master, just a moment while I pack it for you.”

The shopkeeper folded the clothes into a bundle and handed them to Little Song Le.

The cotton-padded coat was a bit heavy, so Ying Xi took it.

After leaving the ready-to-wear clothes shop, Shu Yu asked Little Song Le if he wanted anything else, and he shook his head.

So Shu Yu bought a few yards of fabric herself, then some snacks, and finally took Little Song Le back to the small courtyard in the south of the city.

She initially thought Meng Yunzheng should have returned by now, but after waiting at home for half an hour, he still hadn’t come back.

It seemed that after delivering the letter, he couldn’t free himself for now.
