Chapter 2400: Chapter 2400: County Magistrate, Take Care

Including Shu Yu’s carriage, their troop was quite large.

Shu Yu still needed to go to Hetai Prefecture and invited Yuan Gui’s convoy to depart together.

Originally, they planned to leave just like that, but who would have thought that at the city exit, they would see Wang Changdong’s family, along with Kang Shuxian, Tao Hongdan, and several other young women standing there.

Shu Yu was taken aback for a moment, lifted the curtain of the carriage, and smiled, "Why are you all here?"

"Brother from the Wang Family said you were leaving the southwest today, and we wanted to see you off." Tao Hongdan stepped forward a few paces and handed over the first basket in her hand, "These are the foods we made yesterday for the county magistrate to eat on the road. We can never repay the county magistrate’s kindness to us; this is just a small favor."

Shu Yu didn’t bother being polite with them and accepted the basket, "I visited your stall, and the business is doing well. I hope everything goes smoothly for you in the future. If you encounter any difficulties, write to me; you know the address. Goodbye."

Tao Hongdan suddenly felt her nose sour, and Kang Shuxian’s eyes turned red instantly, and the young women nodded heavily.

"County magistrate, take care."

Shu Yu put down the curtain of the carriage, which moved forward, and the young women hurried a few steps to follow, their voices already choked, "County magistrate, take care and safe travels."

They were truly grateful to Shu Yu. Without her, they might still be stuck in the mire, unable to find a way out, forever devoid of hope.

Shu Yu sighed, feeling that after experiencing so much, these young women would undoubtedly become more resilient in the future.

When the group arrived at Hetai Prefecture, it was already the afternoon of the next day.

They planned to rest here for a night and depart again the following day.

Shu Quan and Second Madam also met Shu Zhao, who had arrived here two months earlier, and saw them doing their work splendidly at the shop, their expressions mixed with complexity.

This was Shu Yu’s shop... Recalling the past, there was always some awkwardness.

After work, Shu Quan called Shu Zhao and Gu Xinghua aside and sighed, saying, "We are leaving, and from now on, this place will depend on you. Whether life is good or bad, we can’t manage."

Shu Zhao’s eyes reddened, "Brother..."

"Alright, you are married and a mother now, you need to stand on your own."

Shu Quan spoke, glancing at Gu Xinghua, hesitantly saying, "There’s one more thing I need to tell you."

Gu Xinghua guessed that it was likely about his own situation, "Brother, go ahead."

Shu Quan rubbed his brow, "It’s like this: the emperor granted a pardon this time, forgiving the entire Shu family, do you understand?"

Gu Xinghua wasn’t slow-witted; he was initially surprised, but quickly responded and joyfully said, "Does that mean Azhao is pardoned too, and she’s now a regular citizen?"

Shu Quan nodded, "Yes."

Shu Zhao was hit by this sudden joy, "Then, what about me..."

"Now, I have a proposal; listen to it. If you think it’s feasible, then proceed." Shu Quan said, "Fourth Sister is a regular citizen, but brother-in-law, you are still a criminal. When I went to the county office to handle household registration, I petitioned Lord magistrate for a favor: I want Fourth Sister to establish a household."

With that, he glanced at Gu Xinghua again.

Gu Xinghua opened his mouth slightly, roughly understanding the situation.

Before Shu Zhao could react, Shu Quan explained, "Brother-in-law, consider this: Fourth Sister establishes a household, and you would be joining the Shu family."
