Chapter 1367: Chapter 3 Our Boy Has Grown Up (3)

"Pah! Young lady, who exactly is bullying whom here?"

The onlookers kept jeering, "Just look at this fat maidservant of yours... Do you feel no shame making such claims? We might be country folk, but our eyes are sharp!"

Isn’t that just the truth?

Just one look at that fat maidservant eyeing both the delicate ladies and you can tell she’s trouble!

The crowd around them buzzed with more intense commentary.

Miss Hanmei’s face was a picture of disarray, with tears shimmering in her eyes as she bowed slightly to the crowd.

"Thank you all so much but, unfortunately, I am not so lucky and can only offer my thanks here for everyone’s assistance..."

"Not at all, not at all, we just can’t stand by when we see injustice. No thanks are necessary!"

The spectators all comforted Miss Hanmei with eager smiles.

At such a scene, Lei Yu stomped her foot in anger!

Without saying anything more, she grabbed the fuming Ling Ling and hurriedly pushed through the crowd to get away.

Miss Hanmei watched the departing mistress and servant with a sneer in her heart!

With such poor skills, they dared to chase after others here? Talking about being the daughter of a scholarly aristocratic family, she was no different from the rest!

"Young lady, young lady! Are we just going to let her go without settling the score, young lady? Maybe we should..."

Ling Ling wanted to say more, but she was scolded by Lei Yu!

"Shut up! Do you not feel humiliated enough yet?"

Seeing that her maidservant had fallen silent, Lei Yu’s face remained dark: "Let’s go! We’ll find a place to rest first, and then see what else to do."

It was only now that Lei Yu realized that she came here to find Xue Qian, not Su Ke. She was led astray by the other party!

How infuriating!

Lei Yu found an inn near the county government office and settled in, but when she went back to the county office the next day, she was informed that both Lord Su and Lord Xue had left the county city on official business.

Unfortunately for her, she ran into Miss Hanmei again and once more returned empty-handed!

For several days, a similar drama unfolded near the county office. Lei Yu was both angry and anxious for not finding the people she sought, and Miss Hanmei was also anxious.

She had an important mission to fulfill, and how could she proceed if she couldn’t meet the person she needed to see?

Fortunately, persistence pays off. After relentless efforts, Miss Hanmei finally received news of Su Ke half a month later.

"Are you saying that Lord Su and others have entered Deicide Mountain? That very famous Deicide Mountain?"

A serious look crossed Miss Hanmei’s eyes.

Soon, a courier pigeon carrying the news of Su Ke’s whereabouts soared into the sky and quickly disappeared into the clouds.

At this moment, Su Ke was still roaming within Deicide Mountain!

Deicide Mountain was steep and fraught with danger, home to many predatory birds. Su Ke’s party had suffered over half of their members lost unknowingly since ascending, leaving the remaining folks terrified to continue forward.

It just so happened that Su Ke also felt that continuing the search would be fruitless, so she led her remaining men down from Deicide Mountain.

The weary group finally made it back to the county city, each one exhausted, yearning to collapse into bed and rest properly.

Lei Yu found herself at the doorstep during such times.

"Are you saying that Sister Lei has come to see me?"

Xue Qian pointed to his own nose, his mouth almost unable to close as he exclaimed, "You must be mistaken, right? How could Sister Lei come to Changze County? She’s such a wealthy young lady who never sets foot outside her own doors, and even if she did come, shouldn’t she be here to see Brother Su... Oh! I understand now!" Xue Qian appeared to have figured it all out.

"Oh, what do you understand? You didn’t hear the report; they’re indeed here to see you! Don’t drag me into this."

Su Ke gave him a glance and then leaned back in his chair to rest with his eyes closed.

"Come on, now!"

Xue Qian glanced towards the door and, seeing no one else around, leaned in close to Su Ke: "You know what our mentor thinks. Miss Lei is his prized treasure. Although you might not need the Yue Family to add glory to your wealth, having an extra way out is always beneficial."

"If it’s so beneficial, then you keep her!"

Su Ke opened his eyes, stood up, and stretched before patting Xue Qian on the shoulder: "Since Brother Xue is so interested, you go ahead and entertain her. I’m extremely tired; I’m going to sleep!"

With that, he left, yawning heavily.

"Wait, I haven’t finished speaking! Brother Su, Brother Su..."

Xue Qian called out after him to no avail as Su Ke’s retreating figure hastened away, leaving him to murmur a few complaints under his breath. When he turned around, he found the soldier who had come to report still kneeling there, which immediately made him angry!

He strode forward and gave the soldier a kick: "Are you blind or something? Sister Lei has arrived, and you’re still standing here? Hurry and invite her in!"

"Yes, yes, yes."

The soldier quickly departed, and in no time, Lei Yu, accompanied by her chubby maidservant, entered.

"Brother Xue of the noble family, Sister Lei has had quite a hard time searching for you..."

Lei Yu truly felt aggrieved; all her pent-up frustrations of the time weighed heavily on her heart. Upon seeing Xue Qian, a familiar face who she had watched grow up since childhood, her nose began to tingle with the urge to cry.

"Stop! Hold on a second."

Xue Qian couldn’t handle girls who cried at the drop of a hat, so he hastily called out: "Sister Lei, are you hungry? Brother Su and I just came down from Deicide Mountain, and we’re both tired and hungry. How about we have a meal together?"

Distracting her was the best way to prevent her from crying and avoid an uncomfortable situation for himself.

His words were reasonable, and since Lei Yu came here expressly for Xue Qian, having a meal together to get to know each other better was something she desired. She thought it over for a moment before nodding her head.

"I’m quite hungry myself, so I’ll join Brother Xue for a meal."

The cook quickly brought the meal, and during that time, Xue Qian attentively made sure Lei Yu had everything she needed, even going so far as to serve dishes for her and shared some anecdotes from their time at Deicide Mountain with Su Ke.

Lei Yu listened with interest, occasionally adding a comment or two, and she began to realize that Su Ke, whom she’d always disliked, might not be as unpleasant as she thought.

The meal ended unnoticeably amidst their conversation.

After they finished eating, Xue Qian excused himself, claiming he was too tired, and returned to his room to rest. He also arranged for two guards to accompany Lei Yu back to the inn for rest.

While Lei Yu was leaving through the county government office’s front door, Miss Hanmei, under the guidance of a government employee, entered the rear courtyard through the side gate.

Su Ke was very cautious of Lei Yu, yet he was quite curious about Miss Hanmei’s arrival.

They say curiosity killed the cat!

At this moment, Su Ke was behaving exactly like a cat, but he was unaware of it.

Miss Hanmei had already made inquiries that morning and only came after she knew Lei Yu had entered the county government office.

However, entering the county government office wasn’t something ordinary people could do just by saying so. Lei Yu was able to use the excuse of wanting to see Xue Qian, entering through the front to meet him. But Miss Hanmei had to spend some silver to bribe the gatekeeper in order to enter the county government office through the side entrance.
