Young Master Zhang and the other two were shocked. “Don’t scare us. Who is behind her?”

Ding Wen’s face was serious. “I’m not joking. You know that something happened in Jiangyuan County some time ago. The county magistrate was arrested, and I don’t know who the new Lord Xiang is. None of us merchants in Jiangyuan County have anything to do with him. However, when Miss Lu’s new shop opened, Lord Xiang sent his men to give Miss Lu gifts.”

Young Master Zhang was startled. “That woman has the government backing her up?”

“That’s right. When I heard you guys talk about the Peach Blossom Forest, I felt strange. The officials that Lord Xiang brought are all very busy. Why did they suddenly appear in the Peach Blossom Forest and care about such a small matter? Furthermore, they were obviously biased towards Miss Lu, right?”

The three of them had not thought about it before. After all, they had thought that they did not want to get involved with the county office. It would be more than enough if they could get rid of that officer surnamed Hu as soon as

PUSS11-ne.

But now that he thought about it, it was indeed fishy.

So this was the reason.

Young Master Zhang immediately became nervous. “Would that woman go to the county office to complaint us?”

Ding Wen pondered for a moment and shook his head. “I don’t think so. If she really doesn’t want to let go of this matter, wouldn’t it have been more convenient with officers present yesterday? Obviously, she didn’t want to make a big deal out of it. However, if you come looking for me yourself, then…”

“Of course, we won’t.’

“That’s good. Moreover, she shouldn’t have taken the jade plate. Otherwise, with her relations.h.i.+p with Lord Xiang, the jade plate would definitely fall into Lord Xiang’s hands, and you would have been taken to the office for questioning.”

Young Master Zhang and the other two nodded, feeling a lingering fear.

However, if Shu Yu did not take it, then the possibility of them finding the jade plate would be even smaller.

“I guess the jade plate is still in the Peach Blossom Forest. You guys should hurry up and look for it again. I’ll send a few men to help you.”

The three of them thanked Ding Wen again and again and soon left the Ding residence.

Ding Wen smiled and took two sips of tea. He was in a good mood.

After a long while, he instructed the servant boy beside him, “Go and tell Xiao Yun that Miss Lu can rest a.s.sured that Young Master Zhang will not disturb her anymore.”

“Yes.”

At this moment, Shu Yu had already been pulled back to the courtyard by Ding Yuehua. As soon as she entered, Ding Yuehua looked at her curiously. “Tell me quickly, what’s going on with that Young Master Zhang?”

Shu Yu had no choice but to repeat what happened the day before. However, regarding the part about orchids, she did not reveal her ident.i.ty. She only said that it was a girl.

Ding Yuehua sneered after hearing that. “Serves him right.”

Shu Yu rubbed her temples. “I didn’t expect them to appear in your house. They even said that I stole their jade plates. What a joke.”

“They probably lost their jade plates and panicked, so they wanted to find a scapegoat.”

Shu Yu was shocked. “Scapegoat? Me?”

She frowned. “Is this jade plate that important? Right, they also mentioned the black market. What was that?”

“Erm… This one.” Ding Yuehua rubbed her forehead, not knowing how to answer.

Shu Yu tugged her clothes. “What’s wrong? This is a grave matter. Can’t you tell me? Shouldn’t you tell me? Otherwise, I won’t even know how I died if that Young Master Zhang comes looking for trouble with me again..”
