As she was just feeling sentimental, someone suddenly held her left hand.
Shu Yu turned her head and heard Meng Yunzheng whisper, "I'll take you to set off fireworks later. I brought them back for you from the prefecture."
Shu Yu couldn't help but laugh, "I'm not a three-year-old child."
"It's too dangerous for a three-year-old. Someone your age is just right."
The water Shu Yu had just drunk nearly made her choke. She turned and glared at him. Meng Yunzheng's lips curled up as he handed over the handkerchief, paused, and then said, "After the new year, there won't be much going on in the prefecture with Qi Lie around. I'll have the time to spare. By then, we'll secretly return to Dongan Province."
"Why secretly though?"
Meng Yunzheng sighed, "Lord Qi is more than willing to have someone here to share his workload. Even if we wanted to walk out openly, he'd have to agree to let us go first."
