Chapter 2123: Drinking?

Hearing this, Xia Yan looked around and lowered his voice and said, "No, Master Qi is not in the capital."

Shu Yu understood that Qi Lie had always been responsible for the black market affairs, and now there was still one last thing that he had not found. Qi Lie must have been acting outside, so he deliberately claimed to be sick at home.

She still wanted to give the letter to Qi Lie herself, but now it seemed that she had to let A Yun handle it.

Cheyenne quickly settled the few people, and then went to a nearby restaurant to buy food and wine. She would finish dinner first.

There is a woman who cooks in the yard, just like in Changjin Mansion. She is hired from nearby neighbors and lets her go home and live there by herself at night.

The group of people had been traveling all day. After dinner, they saw that Meng Yuncheng hadn't come back yet, so they all went back to their rooms to rest.

Shu Yu couldn't sleep, so she lay on the bed with her eyes closed and rested, occasionally raising her ears to listen to what was going on outside.

So as soon as there was a sound in the yard, she opened her eyes quickly and walked out of the room.

Immediately, he faced Meng Yuncheng who had locked the courtyard door and turned around.

Both of them were stunned for a moment, and the next moment, Meng Yuncheng strode towards her with a happy expression, "You are here? When did you arrive?"

Shu Yu was hugged by him, and his nose was full of his scent, which made people feel relieved.

She put her arms around his waist, "I arrived in the evening, why did you come back so late?" She said with the tip of her nose twitching, "Did you drink?"

"Drink a little." Meng Yuncheng let go of her, lowered his head and smelled, "Does it smell very strong?"

"That's not true. Why are you back so late?"

Meng Yuncheng held her hand and walked to the kitchen, "The exam is about to start. Everyone is inevitably nervous and just wants to relax. I am being pulled and can't walk."

There was still hot water on the stove, so Meng Yuncheng mixed some cold water and washed his face first.

Shu Yu handed him the towel, "Aren't you nervous?"

"My goals are different from theirs."

Shu Yu was right. Meng Yunzheng's goal was to open an academy, and the others' goal was to pursue an official career.

Although the goals are clear, in implementation, the requirements for opening an academy are not that high. What's more, his academy is located in Dong'an Mansion, and his reputation is already well-known in Dong'an Mansion.

Shu Yu didn't talk too much to Meng Yunzheng. It was too late. It would be the same if he talked about anything tomorrow.

But seeing that his face was still a little red, he was a little worried, "Are you really okay?"

"It's okay. I really didn't drink much. I just walked all the way back and the cold wind blew, so it looks a little serious. If you are really worried, I will go to Zhao Xi and ask for a hangover pill."

Shu Yu hurriedly stopped him, "Don't go. My eldest sister and Xiao Huohuo are also here. They are probably asleep now."

Meng Yunzheng paused and said, "Sister, are they here too?"

"Yes." Shu Yu helplessly recounted the situation before leaving, and Meng Yuncheng suddenly realized, "I find it strange. According to the itinerary, you should have arrived a few days ago."

The delay for so many days was probably to take care of Xiao Huohuo.

"Well, one of us also stayed in Changjin Mansion for a day. By the way, when I was in Changjin Mansion, Qiao Rou came to see me. Do you still remember her?"

"Is she the girl from the black market?"

"Yes, she gave me a letter." Shu Yu had always carried it with him. Now he took out the letter and told Meng Yuncheng the content without waiting for him to read it.

The latter looked slightly solemn, "Give me the letter, and I will have someone take it to the palace early tomorrow morning."

"good."
