Lu Erbai and the others would come over when the clothing store opened.

At first, the old lady said that she wouldn’t come to the county town and would stay home to take care of San Ya and Da Hu. She told Shu Yu not to spend the money to rent a house.

But now that Da Ya and Li were at home, she was skilled in making clothes and a great help. She had to come to the county town to help.

That was why the old lady didn’t mention renting a house.

Shu Yu had become more familiar with the county town during this time. She pondered it and found that the most suitable location was where Meng Yunzheng lived.

Therefore, Shu Yu planned to find a house nearby to rent first. When she had money in the future, she would buy it.

Well, she would be rich tomorrow. When she sold the secret recipe for the scar removal cream to Doctor Xu, she would have a large income.

Thinking of this, Shu Yu was quite happy. She said to Maneki in his arms, “When we have money in the future, we’ll get you a house alone and let you be a local wealth cat. Don’t you feel excited?” Meow…

Shu Yu patted its head. “You’re excited.”

Shu Yu looked up again when the girl and cat passed by the county office.

There were still a few soldiers guarding the door with solemn expressions. There were not as many people watching the show as yesterday.

Shu Yu did not pay much attention to it and walked over.

However, she heard the discussion between two passersby.

“Someone from the Ding family also went. Early morning, I heard Old Master Ding was sent to the county office for questioning. Other than the servants the Ding family bought, the master had to stay in the residence.”

“Not only the Ding family but also the Jiang family. All our county’s famous and wealthy people have been sent to the county office for questioning.”

Shu Yu suddenly realized what was wrong. So that was the case.

No wonder Ding Yuehua didn’t come today. Something happened to the county magistrate, and the entire county would be in turmoil.

The Ding family must not commit crimes and get into trouble. It was not easy for her to get her first client.

Shu Yu secretly prayed for a while.

The two of them were still talking. “Why did they invite all the rich people in the county for questioning?

“I heard that the person who escaped yesterday hasn’t been caught yet. Didn’t you see that the city gate hasn’t opened yet? He guessed the old man suspected he had something to do with these rich people and wanted to find out who was on good terms with the former county magistrate.”

The two of them left as they talked.

Shu Yu stood where she was and looked toward the city gate.

The city gates were not open yet but should not be closed for long. Otherwise, there would be trouble.

Shu Yu glanced at the gate of the county office again, then quickened her pace and headed to the courtyard where Meng Yunzheng was.

She carried Maneki and stood at the courtyard entrance, intending to knock on the door.

Never did she expect the door would open the moment she knocked.

Shu Yu took a step forward. “Young Master Meng? Are you around?”

As soon as she finished speaking, she stood in the courtyard. Naturally, he saw Doctor Zhao lying in the corner of the yard with a knife.

Shu Yu’s pupils constricted in shock. She felt someone behind her, and a dagger fell on her neck.

Shu Yu almost wanted to fight back subconsciously, but when she saw Doctor Zhao restrained, she calmed down and stopped.

However, she still loosened her grip slightly. Maneki fell to the ground and disappeared.

Fortunately, the culprit didn’t care about Maneki. He closed the courtyard door after taking Shu Yu a few steps forward.

Shu Yu pursed her lips and asked, frightened, “Who are you? What are you doing? I…I don’t know you. Don’t kill me..”
