The Ace Bigshot Becomes A Farmgirl
Chapter 674 - Chapter 674 Chapter 674 The Lu Familys Stall

Chapter 674: Chapter 674: The Lu Family’s Stall Chapter 674: Chapter 674: The Lu Family’s Stall “A remedy for an illness? Of course not.”

Shu Yu was no doctor–how could she possess the skill to cure his ailment.

Nevertheless, among the ingredients, there were indeed several that could ease his mind and alleviate the soreness of his shoulders, allowing him to soak his feet at night so he could sleep peacefully without having nightmares.

As for the other parts of the prescription, such as ash, yellow talisman water, and other insignificant items, they were all added just to pad the list, making her seem more like a fortune-teller.

“I’m sure after tonight, he will have no doubt in my words.”

Daya suddenly realized, “But soaking the feet is only a temporary solution, not a cure. If he continues feeling unwell for long, won’t he come to settle accounts with us?”

Shu Yu replied with an air of mystery, “He would have to have the chance to do so.”

“What do you mean?”

“Sister, you know about Master Lan’s situation, right?”

“I do.”

“Then do you know why Master Lan’s case has become such a big deal?” So big, in fact, that it’s the talk of the streets and everyone knows about it.

That’s because the county magistrate wants to show the governor. The magistrate probably feels Lord Cheng’s prejudice against him, and is now eager to prove his impartial and incorruptible nature, or rather, to divert Lord Cheng’s attention, so he is taking Master Lan’s case very seriously.

Although Master Lan has been locked up in jail, the aftermath concerning him continues.

She had deliberately made Boss He discover the place where the girl from the Min Family was buried so he could worship there. Once he did, the intermediaries of the Office who were following Master Lan’s case would naturally take notice of him.

If a seemingly unrelated man worships at the deceased girl’s grave, isn’t that very suspicious?

So, they would surely investigate Boss He. Boss He is a local tyrant. On regular days, he might get away with it by giving some money to the bailiffs and maintaining good relations so they wouldn’t harp on him.

But now, with the governor present here, who would dare to commit such an act against the wind?

At least, Boss He definitely doesn’t have the connections strong enough to have others risk their necks for him; otherwise, why would a local tyrant like him ever fear the Huifeng Escort Agency?

Once the Office starts a thorough investigation on Boss He, with his local tyrant demeanor and the evil deeds he had done in the past, if they find something serious, they definitely won’t let him off easily.

Shu Yu felt that, in doing this, she was ridding the people of a menace.

Of course, even if he were lucky enough to escape this time, there was always a second time if there was a first. She would have many more opportunities to come to the county town in the future, and always have a backup plan.

Daya listened in awe. Yu was truly clever, having thought so far ahead, even blocking Boss He’s escape route.

Hm? Wait…

“But what if Boss He implicates you? If he just says you told him to worship the Min Family girl, wouldn’t that be it?”

Shu Yu shrugged, “If he implicates me, so what? I am but a weak and defenseless young woman who, in a moment of danger, cleverly crafted my words. People will understand that. Moreover, I didn’t lie–I do have a master, who is the temple master of Dongqing Temple, and I really did learn a little bit of the Face Reading Technique. My conscience is clear.”

Daya, “…”

That does seem to make sense when put that way.

As they were talking, the two had already arrived at their family’s street stall.

Daya pointed at the queue at the stall ahead and said, “That’s the one.”

Shu Yu looked up and saw Madam Ruan busily bustling about, yet her smile was extraordinarily radiant.
