“I can’t bring too many things with me when I go to the government office. There are silver and some daily necessities in this bag. I’ll leave them with you first. Anyway, you are going to the southwest. Give it to me when the time comes.”

Shu Yu untied the bag that had never left his body and handed it to him.

Zhao Xi asked curiously, “How much silver?”

Shu Yu extended two fingers.

Zhao Xi said, “Two thousand taels. That’s enough.”

Shu Yu didn’t say anything. She looked at Meng Yunzheng. “Sorry to trouble you.”

Meng Yunzheng was silent for a moment and laughed. “You trust me.”

“If I don’t believe you, who else can I believe?” Shu Yu had sewn two or three pockets inside her inner clothes and hid a hundred taels of silver notes. She could only hide so little.

If it was exposed later, she could still say that she had secretly saved it before leaving the Shu family.

As the third daughter of the Shu family, even if she was not favored, she still had some clothes to wear when she went out. If she sold them, it was reasonable to have a hundred taels of silver.

Meng Yunzheng put away her bag and promised, “Don’t worry, I’ll take good care of your things. I’ll find a chance to meet you after you’re exiled for two days at most. If you need anything then, just tell me.”

“Yes, thank you.” Shu Yu laughed and handed him a piece of paper. “There’s a pouch inside. There are dozens of silver taels in the pouch. After I leave, help me bury them in the ground according to the locations on the paper.”

Meng Yunzheng was puzzled. “Why?”

“Just in case, I’ll be useful when the time comes.”

Meng Yunzheng did not ask any more questions and nodded.

Shu Yu felt much more at ease. She looked at the bag reluctantly.

Other than the banknotes, there were also clothes, cosmetics, and other things. Although there were not many, they were all practical.

Shu Yu took a deep breath, turned around, and walked to the carriage that belonged to Lord Jing’s subordinate.

Meng Yunzheng stood at the back and watched their carriage go further and further away. A moment later, he also got into the car with Zhao Xi and followed them from afar.

As the carriage entered the city, Shu Yu could feel the clamor of people.

She closed her eyes slightly and leaned against the wall of the carriage as she swayed to the back door of the government office.

The coachman whispered from outside, “Miss, we’re here.”

After a pause, he continued, “Please forgive me, Miss. If I want to come in, I have to tie a rope around you first to avoid arousing suspicion.”

Shu Yu understood. “Alright.”

The coachman lifted the curtain and tied her hands with a rope. When he came out again, his expression turned cold. “Come out!”

Shu Yu got off the carriage in trepidation. The coachman pushed her, and the two of them entered the government office one after another.

The government office was very big. The coachman would reprimand her from time to time and tell her in a low voice, “When you enter the hall later, there will be three adults interrogating you. You should adapt to the situation. Lord Jing was in his forties and was the tallest of the three. The Second Prince’s men are the shortest. The Third Prince’s men have long beards and narrow eyes.”

“Alright, thank you.”

After a while, the two of them entered the lobby.

Lord Jing and the other two were originally talking. When they saw her enter, they looked at her in unison.

Shu Yu immediately shrunk her neck and took two steps back.

The coachman cupped his hands respectfully to the three of them. “Sir, the Shu family’s concubine’s third daughter has been brought back.”
