Chapter 1998: Those Girls Went to the Southwest

Lu Wu scratched his head in embarrassment, "I have something I want to ask the county master for help."

Meng Yunzheng glanced at them and said to Shu Yu, "You guys talk first, I'll rent a carriage."

After he left, Lu Wu whispered, "County Lord, I..."

Shu Yu raised his eyebrows. What was it that made it so difficult for him to talk about it? Lu Wu was usually straightforward, but he hesitated several times.

"Just tell me what you have to say, and I promise I won't blame you."

Lu Wu took a deep breath and said, "County Lord, I heard that you have been to the southwest for a while before."

Shu Yu suddenly realized it and said amusedly, "You mean that I was exiled to the southwest. This is not a secret. Many people know it. There is no need to be so hesitant."

Lu Wu didn't expect her to be so generous. She didn't seem to care at all, as if being exiled was just a common thing, and he was a little stunned for a moment.

"Does the County Lord not care?"

"What do you care about? Do you care about other people secretly saying that my status is not noble enough and that I have such a bad past? I don't think it's a big deal. I wasn't exiled because I committed a crime. Later, I also relied on my own efforts and merits. Being canonized as the Lord of the Township, I think this just proves my ability. Besides, there are thousands of people in exile, and I met the current Grand Tutor Qi on the way to exile, which was a blessing in disguise."

Lu Wu couldn't help but widen his eyes, lowered his head and became thoughtful.

Shu Yu, "Isn't it the same for you? Although you have been in the black market before, it was not what you wanted. Later, you worked with us to fight against the rebels and made great achievements. Now you have become a patrol inspector in Chenggu County. There are more than a hundred people in charge of you. Your experience in the black market only took up a little time in your life. Now you have a successful career, married a beautiful girl, and your temperament has become calm. Isn’t this a blessing in disguise? ?”

Lu Wu suddenly realized that, yes, the black market experience was just a small stage in his life, and there was no need for him to dwell on the past. What others say is what they say. Those people are just envious and jealous of his current status. Who cares about the friends he has made around him?

He raised his head suddenly, "I understand, thank you County Master for your advice."

After he finished speaking, he was about to leave. Shu Yu twitched the corner of his mouth. Just now, he said that his temperament had become calmer, but now his true colors were revealed.

"Wait a minute, Lu Wu, have you forgotten something? What did you want to say to me just now?" It's not like he just wanted to confirm whether she had been exiled in the southwest.

Lu Wu slapped his forehead suddenly, "Yes, I almost forgot." He began to feel embarrassed again, but this time he spoke more fluently, "Actually, it's not me, it's my wife, or Qiao Rou. I don't know if the county master can still return the favor." Remember?"

"Remember, what happened to her?"

"Some of the girls who were in the black market before have gone to the southwest."

"So far?" Shu Yu knew the arrangements of the girls. Some of them, like Qiao Rou, were married to people from the black market. Some of them voluntarily married the unmarried military households in the military camp, and some of them warmed each other and lived together. Others plan not to marry for the rest of their lives and just want to start over somewhere where no one knows them.

Shu Yu had participated in the original arrangement of these girls, but in her impression, no one had gone so far to the southwest.
