Chapter 187 The County Magistrate Comes to the Wu Family

Wu Xiu also raised her head and glanced at Xue Qing again, then called out in a mosquito-like voice, "Second Uncle"

Wu Yu said to the two children, "Go play outside for a while."

Suddenly, he and Xue Qing were the only ones left in the room. He took a deep breath and looked at Xue Qing who was writing, his heart filled with gratitude and guilt.

"Qing'er, thank you for your hard work for this family over the years." Wu Yu's voice was low and sincere. As he spoke, he took out a silver note worth one hundred taels from his pocket and handed it to Xue Qing.

He continued, "This is the reward I gave you after returning to the capital."

Xue Qing took the banknote without any hesitation. She knew it was Wu Yu's compensation to her.

Wu Yu then told Xue Qing that since he was now a sixth-rank captain, the village chief, after knowing this, asked them to treat the villagers to a meal in three days to celebrate the fact that Shilibao had finally produced a military commander.

Liu heard the conversation between Wu Yu and Xue Qing outside the door, and she felt mixed emotions. She was proud of Wu Yu's achievements, but at the same time she was worried that this honor would bring him trouble.

She just wanted Wu Yu to come back safely and live an ordinary and stable life, rather than becoming an official.

Thinking of the upcoming banquet in three days, Liu felt even more uneasy. She knew that this banquet would not only attract the attention of the villagers, but also might cause some unnecessary trouble.

But she also knew that this was Wu Yu's way of thanking his fellow villagers for their care and concern, and also to show his own achievements and status.

Tell those who want to harm the Wu family again to think carefully.

Three days later, the weather was fine and sunny, perfect for holding a banquet.

The Wu family was very lively, and once again invited the villagers to share a feast. This banquet was more grand than the last one, because everyone knew that the second son of the Wu family, Wu Yu, had been promoted to the sixth rank Zhenwu General.

Village chief Wu and his family arrived at the Wu family early in the morning. Their faces were filled with smiles and they were proud of the glory of the Wu family.

Aunt Liang's family and the women who helped last time also came eagerly. After learning the news that Wu Yu became a general, they participated more actively in the preparation of the banquet.

What is remarkable is that Shopkeeper Xie of Youranju also came to the Wu family with generous gifts. He personally congratulated Wu Yu and brought many precious gifts to the Wu family. The Wu family felt honored by the arrival of Shopkeeper Xie.

What was even more unexpected was that the county magistrate came to the Wu family in person to congratulate them. His arrival shocked and excited the entire Wu family.

Wu Tong felt proud and happy at this moment. He knew that the Wu family was no longer the same as before, and they had become a famous family in the village.

While the Wu family was decorating the house with lanterns and flowers and entertaining the whole village with laughter and joy, the owner of Youranju was sitting in the study in an ancient and elegant mansion in the capital, holding a letter from Anyang in his hand. In the study, the sandalwood was curling and the smell of books was strong, but the owner had no intention of appreciating the quiet atmosphere at this moment.

He opened the envelope and took out the letter, which contained the information about the Wu family written in vigorous handwriting. When he read that someone dared to set fire to the Wu family at this time, the boss's brows were instantly furrowed and his face became solemn.

"This guy is so bold that he actually set fire to the Wu family!" The boss whispered to himself, his tone revealing anger that was hard to conceal.

The boss stood up quickly, walked to the desk, spread out a piece of white paper, and began to write orders. He asked the secret guards to set off immediately to Anyang to investigate the matter and find out the motives of the person behind the arson. At the same time, he also asked the secret guards to pay close attention to the Wu family's dynamics and ensure the safety of the Wu family.
