Chapter 2012: Chapter 2012: Miss, My Brother Is Acting Strange
Heading south? But just now Meng Pei said the Lin Family was escorting the coffin back to their northern hometown.
"So, did he depart from the north and take a boat southward?" Shu Yu speculated, "Or is he actually in the south and just heading home now?"
Meng Pei shook his head, "Not sure, I went to the authorities to ask around. Lin Yong’s household registration was indeed canceled, and the Lin Family is heading toward their northern hometown."
At this point, the clues seem to be completely severed.
The Lin Family didn’t contact anyone after leaving, not even a letter was sent.
Meng Pei raised his head and said, "I plan to take a trip north."
Shu Yu was taken aback, "Uncle Meng wants to personally visit the Lin Family’s hometown?"
"Yes, if this matter isn’t clarified, I won’t be at ease. Regardless of whether he’s scheming against me, I can’t live my whole life with this suspicion."
Meng Pei was a decisive person, and he planned to prepare tomorrow and set off the day after.
Shu Yu said, "Uncle Meng, let Ying Dong go with you."
Meng Pei laughed, "No need, you don’t have many capable people around you, Ying Dong is competent, it’s better for him to stay with you than run around with me. Don’t worry, I’ll take Uncle Yan."
Uncle Yan’s skills were even better than Meng Pei’s. In the early years, he mixed in the Worldly Society, making both his experience and identity indeed more suitable than Ying Dong’s.
"Alright, Uncle Meng, take care."
Shu Yu had originally thought about asking Meng Pei for help, to bring Yuan Gui along when forming a convoy.
Now that he had other matters to attend to, Shu Yu didn’t mention it.
There’s no time to lose. Meng Pei didn’t have much to prepare. The house was now guarded and newly renovated, so there was no need to worry much.
Two days later, both Meng Pei and Shu Yu set off from the Quansheng Escort Agency.
However, after leaving the city, one headed south and the other north, parting ways at the city gate.
Once Meng Pei and his group went far enough, Shu Yu sighed, lowered the carriage curtain, and said to Ying Xi, "Let’s go back too."
"Yes."
Ying Xi flicked the reins, and the carriage rumbled forward.
After traveling a long distance, Shu Yu came out of the cabin and sat alongside Ying Xi on the carriage seat.
On this carriage, there were only the two of them, while the rest was filled with various luggage and food.
In the afternoon, Shu Yu and Ying Xi took turns driving the carriage.
She let Ying Xi rest in the cabin for a while. They were delayed on the road today, so they might have to camp outside, requiring her to keep watch. However, Ying Xi kept glancing sideways.
Shu Yu raised an eyebrow, "What’s wrong? Why do you keep looking at your brother?"
Ying Xi turned his head and whispered to Shu Yu, "Miss, I feel my brother is acting strange."
"What’s strange about him? He seems perfectly normal."
"Back in Changjin Prefecture, I already felt something was odd. When he came with the old lady, he only had a small bundle, very light. But when we left Changjin Prefecture to return, I saw that he had two large bundles. I asked him about it, and he said he rarely goes out, so he bought some interesting things. It made sense to me, since I’d bought a large box of things myself."
Shu Yu twitched her lips, thinking about Ying Xi’s large box mostly filled with food, feeling speechless.
She really personified her foodie nature to the fullest.
"Since you didn’t find it suspicious earlier, why do you think it’s strange now? Did you look inside his bundles?"
