Chapter 2420: Chapter 11: Fang Family’s Verdict Overturned
However, what Granny Fang didn’t know was that Yuan Gui already had someone special in his heart at that time.
That person was Kang Shuxian.
After the Southwest shop opened, the delivery person was always the most familiar with the route, Yuan Gui.
At the time, whether it was the capital or Changjin Prefecture’s shops, the roads were relatively peaceful. As long as one had traveled the route once, there wasn’t much of a problem. Thus, for these two routes, Yuan Gui assigned other responsible persons for the escort team.
He himself traveled the most complex terrain with the most challenging background in the southwest.
Yuan Gui only needed to deliver goods to the Hetai Mansion shop, as the small shop opened by Huifeng Escort Agency in Hetai Mansion picked up the goods themselves, so Yuan Gui usually wouldn’t go to Heichang County, and logically wouldn’t have met Kang Shuxian.
However, in the second year when Yuan Gui went to the Southwest, Fang Family’s parents were exonerated. Ma Lu kept his word, not only working diligently beside Qi Lie but also personally visiting the Fang Family’s hometown to bring down the county official who initially framed the Fang Family.
It sounds easy, but in reality, it was challenging. The local county magistrate was quite powerful, and Ma Lu, despite being secretive and thorough, was gravely injured.
For the time being, he couldn’t go to the southwest to pick up his in-laws. His wife Fang Xiyue was worried about her parents, but with her husband injured and the child being young, she couldn’t leave. Even if she could, Ma Lu wouldn’t be assured of her going to the southwest alone.
Just as Ma Lu planned to hire escorts, Shu Yu’s letter arrived.
Meng Yunzheng had already received news about the Fang Family parent’s exoneration from Qi Lie; his information network was always swift, and naturally, he also knew about Ma Lu’s injury.
In Shu Yu’s letter, it mentioned that Yuan Gui was soon going to the Southwest to deliver goods. By that time, he could pick up Father Fang and Aunt Fang, accompany the caravan to Dongan Province, and then follow the caravan delivering goods to the capital. Although it involved some hassle, they were acquaintances, so it was reassuring.
Fang Xiyue was overjoyed upon receiving the letter, and a weight finally fell from her heart.
Later, when Yuan Gui went to the southwest, he took a trip to Righteous Dao Village.
At that time, Kang Shuxian happened to go to Righteous Dao Village to deliver items to Fang Family’s parents. Previously, these young women didn’t know the Fang Family’s parents, but Wang Changdong was familiar with them, and he would occasionally mention Shu Yu’s affairs in Righteous Dao Village to them.
Over time, these young women naturally learned about the Fang Family’s parents.
They didn’t have any elders at home, and with Fang Family’s daughter and son-in-law returning to the capital, the parents inevitably felt a bit lonely.
Once, when Mother Fang went to the county town to buy things, she happened to have lunch at Kang Shuxian’s small stall. After a chat, they became acquainted.
After that, they interacted more frequently.
The Fang Family’s parents were elders, always having life experiences to share with them. Kang Shuxian and the others were about the same age as Fang Xiyue and could comfort their low spirits.
That day, Kang Shuxian went to deliver newly made food and unexpectedly met Yuan Gui, who came to pick them up.
Yuan Gui had also been involved in the downfall of the Changjin Prefecture black market back then, but he hadn’t entered the black market; he only helped Xia Yi with follow-up matters.
Therefore, he had seen the black market’s young women, but not all of them.
He had seen Tao Hongdan, but not Kang Shuxian.
At the Fang Family’s place, it was their first meeting.
Yuan Gui himself did not expect that love at first sight would happen to him.
Because of this, Yuan Gui stayed in Heichang County for a few more days.
