The Ace Bigshot Becomes A Farmgirl-Chapter 1818: Chen Bing Hasn’t Returned Yet

Granny Fang became increasingly confused, "Congratulate me for what?"

The two women exchanged glances, "Miss Fang, you didn’t know? Didn’t your niece tell you that she was conferred Wen’an County Lord by the Emperor?"

Granny Fang was completely stunned, even Yuan Gui was taken aback on the spot.

"What did you say? Yu became County Lord?"

"Oh my, such a joyous occasion, why didn’t County Lord Lu tell you? What did she say while staying at your place for so long?" The two women were greatly surprised.

Granny Fang shook her head, "Just chatting about everyday life. I asked them how they’ve been recently, she said everything’s been good. She mentioned she really liked the clothes I made her, today she even wore them over."

As she spoke, she began to realize the significance of County Lord.

She suddenly got excited and grabbed the two to ask, "What’s going on with this Wen’an County Lord, tell me quickly, how did she become County Lord, wasn’t she Monarch Lu Xiang?"

"Miss Fang, don’t worry, honestly, we aren’t quite sure of all the details either. We went to the county town today to visit relatives and overheard people talking about County Lord Lu. It’s said that half the county town is talking about it. Just yesterday morning, the county magistrate personally delivered the Imperial Decree to the Meng Family’s escort agency. Not only did the Meng Family’s escort agency receive an imperial plaque, but Monarch Lu Xiang was also conferred as Wen’an County Lord; it’s quite impressive."

"Speaking of which, County Lord Lu is truly low-key. I heard that early this morning many wealthy individuals wanted to meet her at the Meng Family’s escort agency, but unexpectedly, County Lord Lu left early to visit relatives. We pondered it over, and realized, isn’t County Lord Lu’s relative just Miss Fang yourself? So after finishing our meal at the relatives’ house, we hurried back, County Lord Lu came to see you."

Granny Fang was listening with astonishment, and at this moment, many villagers who heard the commotion started coming out.

Listening to the two women talk about the increasingly fantastical rumors from the county town, everyone was amazed.

The Old Village Chief remarked to his wife, "Granny Fang can really enjoy life in the future."

"Enjoying life is given, but what I care about is, County Lord Lu now has an esteemed status, what do you think, would she help settle the grievances Miss Fang faced in her past?"

The Old Village Chief shook his head, "I don’t know, it’s a pity we don’t even know who bullied Granny Fang back then." 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

The person they are concerned about, Shuyu, indeed never forgot Chen Bing. She thought Chen Bing would always return during the New Year, but now it is already the second day of the New Year, and he’s still staying in the prefecture.

On the way back to the town, the carriage once again passed by the grocery shop of the Chen family.

The shop was open, the staff didn’t even close on New Year’s Day, business slightly increased before the holiday. It’s been pretty good these days too, with many visiting relatives, demand is high.

Meng Yunzheng sat opposite her, noticed her frowning, and asked, "How about I ask around for you after I get to the prefecture?"

"No need, I noticed that the grocery shop needed stocking up, Chen Bing isn’t likely to leave such matters to a staff who’s only been here two months. Most likely, someone who can take charge should return these few days."

She wasn’t in a rush.

Meng Yunzheng didn’t say much more.

After returning to the Meng Family’s escort agency, those who came to pay New Year’s greetings in the morning had already left.

Shuyu returned to her room to rest, while Meng Yunzheng accompanied Meng Pei to visit the elders of the Meng family.

Once they left, the escort agency became even quieter. With nothing to do, Shuyu was just planning to organize the gifts she received, when she heard Meng Han shouting loudly.

"Sister Shuyu, Sister Shuyu." Hearing the voice, you could tell it was someone urgently rushing inside.
