The old lady said,” The day before yesterday afternoon, the friend who went out with your fourth uncle came back. Your fourth aunt quickly went to ask him, but that person said that they separated after delivering the goods.”
That friend had gone to take on another job, so he had delayed his return until now.
However, Shu Yu’s fourth uncle should have returned home early. Why was he still missing?
“He inexplicably disappeared. Your fourth aunt was still thinking that since the friend was not back either, the two of them should be together and perhaps they were stalled by something. Yet now, the friend is back, but God knows where your fourth uncle is.”

“In the county,” The old lady said, “But so many days have passed. Who knows where he went? The Yuan family has gone to the places where he might have gone to look for him, but there was no result.”
The Yuan family was the in-laws of the Fourth Aunt. The Fourth Uncle was called Yuan Shanchuan.
At this point, the old lady raised her head and said to Madam Liang, “After you go back, tell Sanzhu. Doesn’t he know a lot of fair-weather friends in the countryside? Ask him to help inquire and see if there are any clues.”
Madam Liang was quite unwilling to be called out. She muttered, “How does he know any friends? He’s always at home. His…”
Shu Yu slowly turned her head to look at her and Madam Liang’s voice stopped abruptly.
Then, Madam Liang changed the topic and smiled, “Mother, don’t worry. I’ll go back and tell him. Sixing is, after all, his biological sister. He will surely help. Sanzhu is very enthusiastic.”
The old lady and Shu Yu both wondered if the other party was blushing when she said such words.
Madam Liang left in a hurry.
The courtyard door closed, and only the two were left in the Lu family.
Shu Yu held the old lady’s hand and said, “Don’t worry, Grandma. People won’t go missing for no reason. We’ll surely find him if we get more people to look for him. By the way, has Fourth Aunt reported it to the authorities?
The old lady nodded, “Yes. She went to report the matter yesterday morning. It’s just that the county office has just changed the county magistrate and is in a mess. How can they free up their hands to help ordinary people like us?”
What she didn’t say was that when the Yuan family reported the matter to the authorities, they had been chased out impatiently only because they had said a few more words.
Ordinary people like them did not dare to deal with the officials. If not for Yuan Shanchuan’s long disappearance, the Yuan family would not have dared to go to the county office.

The old lady was stunned. She looked at her granddaughter and frowned, “Are you thinking of going to Lord Xiang? But didn’t you say that you’re not very familiar with Lord Xiang? It’s not good to trouble him like this. Lord Xiang is very busy. Don’t let him leave a bad impression on you.”
The old lady disagreed, but Shu Yu simply smiled and shook her head.
“No, I’m not looking for Lord Xiang.”
Why did she need to go to Xiang Weinan for this kind of thing? Wasn’t that overkill?
She wanted to keep the reward Xiang Weinan had promised her to save herself from exile.
Shu Yu said slowly, “Grandma, have you forgotten the two soldiers who came to send gifts yesterday? We have indeed met and exchanged a few words, right? We don’t need them to do anything, just ask them to help keep an eye out and check the travel pass.”
“Travel pass?
“All Dasu dynasty members need a travel pass when traveling a hundred miles away from their residence. If no travel pass has been issued, it means that Fourth Uncle is still within a hundred miles from home..”
