Chapter 767: Chapter 767: Send to Qi Chan Chapter 767: Chapter 767: Send to Qi Chan Meng Yunzheng finished speaking and then forced the poison into his mouth.

Cheng Dong subconsciously tried to spit it out, but Meng Yunzhen covered his mouth with the handkerchief.

His gaze icy, he asked word by word, “What’s the matter? Unwilling to die? Perhaps you’d rather tell us the content of that letter.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Cheng Dong swallowed the poison.

Zhao Xi, “…” So, do you actually want him dead or not?

Meng Yunzheng withdrew his hand as the poison was evidently the type that kills upon contact with blood. It wasn’t long after Cheng Dong swallowed it that he violently convulsed a couple of times, his eyes bulged, and he stopped breathing altogether.

Meng Yunzheng wiped his hands with the handkerchief, his mood improved.

Cutting off Gong Qiu’s route was a major accomplishment for him; he felt tonight was worth celebrating. Soon he would go to the finest restaurant in the county town and reserve a table, then bring the dishes to the Lu family to enjoy.

With Cheng Dong dead, Meng Yunzheng and Zhao Xi once again moved the body back into the mule carriage.

They secured the seat and erased the traces.

“At this hour, Mister Qi must have returned. You take him there, do you know what to say?”

Shu Yu raised an eyebrow, “You should trust my eloquence.”

“Good,” Meng Yunzheng said with an amused rub of her head, “I’ll go to the restaurant to reserve dishes, you come back early.”

Shu Yu nodded, pulled the mule carriage, and went out again, settling on the shaft before driving toward the alley entrance.

As she passed by the Lu family’s doorway, she could still hear lively sounds from inside.

She immediately became more eager, sped up, and headed straight for the county office.

The guards at the county office greeted her upon arrival, “Lady Lu has arrived? Mister Qi is back, he knew you were looking for him this morning and instructed that if you came again, just come straight in.”

Shu Yu nodded, “Thank you.”

As she got off the carriage shaft, a guard came over to lead the mule carriage aside and tie it up.

But before his hand touched the reins, Shu Yu drew back. She gave a hollow laugh and said, “Um, I need to bring the mule carriage in with me.”

“Ah?” The guard was instantly troubled.

Shu Yu said in a low voice, “There’s something very important in my carriage for Mister Qi to see alone. I can only show it to Mister Qi. I know it’s against the rules to bring in a mule carriage, so here’s what: you go in and tell Mister Qi, if he agrees, then I’ll come in.”

“Alright then, just wait a moment.”

The guard went inside, and soon hurried out again, smiling at Shu Yu, “The teacher agrees, Lady Lu, follow me.”

It was difficult to enter through the front of the Office, so the guard took her through a side door.

As soon as Shu Yu entered the courtyard, she saw Mister Qi standing not far away, smiling warmly at her.

“Lady Lu.” He stepped forward, a joyous smile on his face.

The last time Shu Yu saw him was half a month ago, and Mister Qi seemed even happier than last time. It appeared that he was quite content with his life here.

“I heard Lady Lu was in a hurry to find me. Is there something important?” Did she need his help?

Mister Qi held back the last few words in time. The last time and the time before that, he thought Shu Yu came to him to collect on a favor.

Turned out, he ended up owing her more and more.

This time, he wasn’t quite sure if Lady Lu stumbled into some trouble.

Just as Qi Chan was mulling this over, he saw Shu Yu’s face wracked with a troubled expression as she spoke softly, “Mister Qi, there’s something that, I, I don’t know if I did it right, and I don’t know if I’ve caused a disaster?”
