When Shu Yu escorted Meng Yunzheng out the door earlier, she passed through the front courtyard and didn't see Zhao Xi. She thought he had gone ahead to prepare things.
Little did she expect he had only gone to the county office??
Zhao Xi was momentarily stunned before he uncertainly asked, "Yu, do you mean he, he's already gone to the capital?"
"You didn't know?"
Zhao Xi slapped his thigh, "He never mentioned it to me at all."
His face suddenly turned very grim, "When did he leave?"
"Just a moment ago."
Zhao Xi turned his head and ran, "I'll chase after him right away."
However, after taking two steps towards the outside, he returned, "I remember Third Mrs. Fan sent you two horses today, right? Give me one."
There was only one horse at home, which should have been ridden away by Meng Yunzheng by now.
Shu Yu quickly led Zhao Xi to the stable, while the other members of the Lu family stood there looking at each other in confusion.
