Chapter 580: Dealing with the Second Miss
With that in mind, Hou Shi squinted her eyes and said, "I think if she is causing harm, she will eventually harm all of us."
Shu Yu nodded in agreement. "That's what I think too."
Hou Shi took a deep breath. "So what should we do?"
She had already prepared herself to personally deal with the second miss. Who knew that Shu Yu ...
Chapter 579: Indeed, She Wants to Harm Her
Shu Yu walked out of the kitchen, and Aunt Xue happened to come in at the same time.
She glanced at Shu Yu, appearing hesitant and pitiful. Shu Yu, however, left without showing any expression, passing by her. Aunt Xue could only take the ingredients into the kitchen to prepare the meal.
Shu Yu pretended to return to her room to fe...
Chapter 578: Not That Simple
Shu Yu felt that as long as there were no people like Master Lan in Zhengdao Village, she could still make progress step by step.
Hunting, from a different perspective, was actually much freer compared to tasks like clearing land, making charcoal, or mining.
Meng Yunzheng saw that she had a plan in mind and decided not to persuade her further.
Chapter 577: Master Lan Breaks His Leg
After Shu Yu and the others finished eating, the Shu family slowly gathered firewood and fetched water.
Although they were all exhausted and had no energy left, there was still a small dispute over who would fetch water and cook. In the end, no one managed to take advantage of the situation.
The next day was another gloomy and seemingl...
Chapter 576: Zhao Xi, Your Brother, Da Niu
Meng Yunzheng explained, "They came to Heichang County mainly for you."
So, it was impossible for them to earn money and live a good life in the county while being unable to help the tired and exhausted Shu Yu.
From the beginning, the Lu family had made plans. Lu Erbai, Ruan Shi, and Da Ya would work in the county to support the fa...
Chapter 575: The Division of Labor in the Lu Family
After establishing a good relationship with the escorts, Lu Erbai rented a small courtyard in Heichang County the next day. Although it wasn't very big, it was enough for the whole family to live in.
Subsequently, the Lu family found a place and set up their stall, with Ruan Shi and Da Ya taking charge of selling snacks.
T...
Chapter 574: Lu Erbai's Abilities
Inside the water pouch was a mild soy milk with a hint of saltiness. Shu Yu took a bite of the bun and a sip of the soy milk, quickly filling her stomach halfway. She held the chicken leg in her hand and gnawed on it slowly.
She looked at the forest in front of her and said, "I want to go into the mountains for hunting."
In the southwest, w...
Chapter 573: Wanting to Change Jobs
As Shu Yu watched him walk away, she narrowed her eyes slightly.
At this moment, the frail woman who had been working with her walked over. She looked at Shu Yu with a complex expression in her eyes, opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but seemed afraid of Master Lan's presence.
After a while, she couldn't hold back any lo...
Chapter 572: Shu Yu Works the Fields
Shu Yu and her group were quite content, but the rest of the Shu family members were feeling restless.
Not only did they have nothing to eat, but their rooms were also dirty and messy, and they had to clean up themselves.
As they were making a ruckus, Shu Yu and her group hadn't even reacted yet when a furious voice came from the neighbo...
Chapter 571: Returning Empty-Handed
After hearing the news, the four girls quickly ran back to the Shu family's side, chattering away. Two of them immediately left the house.
Even if Shu Yu didn't pay attention, she couldn't avoid seeing the commotion.
She snorted and, along with Hou Shi, washed the corn and pumpkin, preparing to steam them directly.
Shu Yu planned t...
Chapter 570: Friendly Neighbors
Shu Yu could only reluctantly accept the food. "Thank you, Auntie. When I have the chance, I will definitely repay you."
"No need to be so polite."
At that moment, Zhang Pingning also arrived, holding a bunch of fresh vegetables she had just picked from the yard.
In addition, she had a small piece of salt.
Zhang Pingning directl...
Chapter 569: Sending Food
Auntie Zhang and her daughter, Zhang Pingning, were both stunned. Remove it?
Shu Yu explained, "I came from Dong'an Prefecture, and before I came here, there was a popular scar removal ointment in our prefectural city. It's very effective. I've personally seen people with scars on their faces who used it, and their scars faded away."
Zhang Pingning...
Chapter 568: Striking Up a Conversation
Shu Yu smiled apologetically, "I wanted to know, where can we get drinking water in Zhengdao Village?"
"Oh, that," the woman suddenly realized. "When you entered the village, didn't you see a river? We usually get water from that river."
Shu Yu felt even more embarrassed. "I actually didn't notice. When I first arrived, Master Lan had...
Chapter 567: Getting Food
The eldest daughter also chimed in, "Yes, once ten days or half a month passes, my brothers will come. They have been learning martial arts since childhood and possess great skills. With them around, that despicable woman won't be able to get away with her wrongdoings. We can settle our grudges and seek revenge."
The Shu family members suddenly woke up fr...
Chapter 566: Cultivating Relationships with Neighbors
Shu Yu smiled and said, "It's because the Shu family is too weak. The entire Shu family has been defeated, and they still see me as the easily bullied third miss of the Shu family. That's what it means to not understand their own position."
Hou Shi nodded in agreement. "I believe they will soon experience some hardship."
Chapter 565: She Wants to Stay in the Right Room
The Shu family members were all lying on the ground, unable to get up. Although they had experienced imprisonment and exile before, and had suffered a lot, they had never been physically beaten like this.
Now, they were in pain all over their bodies, unable to even stand up.
Shu Yu looked down at them and said, "Can I go back...
Chapter 564: Just a Beating Will Suffice
Shu Yu thought, her left hand... should be enough.
She lifted her head and looked at the Shu family members in front of her. "Then let's give it a try and see if I can get what I want. I like the room on the right, and I plan to stay there."
"You're just daydreaming," the eldest Miss stepped forward, sneering. "Do you think we're sti...
Chapter 563: Not Allowed to Share Rooms with Shu Yu
Shu Yu understood Hou Shi's concerns, and she also didn't want to live with the Shu family.
When they were at the manor earlier, she had wanted to confirm with Master Lan if she could rent a courtyard with her own money. But seeing the expression on Master Lan's face, Shu Yu dismissed the idea. There was a clear malicious intent ...
Chapter 562: The House in Exile
Master Lan finished his instructions and felt somewhat regretful when he realized that the Shu family still had no intention of going to the Music and Pleasure Hall.
"Alright, I've said everything that needs to be said. Go back and familiarize yourselves with Zhengdao Village. Don't oversleep tomorrow morning," he said.
Saying that, he called...
Chapter 561: The Shu Family Begins Cultivation
Master Lan said, "In Zhengdao Village, most people are like you, exiled criminals from other places. So the population is diverse, with both good and bad characters. How you get along is up to you. The house you will be living in is at the foot of that mountain over there. I'll take you to see it later."
"The house is rented to you, a...
Chapter 560: Reuniting with Family
Shu Yu sighed, but as she raised her head, she caught sight of a few familiar figures.
Her footsteps halted for a moment before she continued moving forward.
Her mood, however, improved considerably, and a faint smile appeared on her lips, even noticed by Hou Shi.
"What's the matter, Third Miss?" Hou Shi asked. "You seem happier. Bu...
Chapter 559: Heichang County
The members of the Shu family involuntarily shrank back, not daring to make a sound.
The official continued, "Heichang County is still a two-day journey from here. You will rest here tonight and set off early tomorrow morning. When you arrive in Heichang County, someone will instruct you on what to do. Until then, behave yourselves and listen, understa...
Chapter 558: Be Careful of the Second Miss
The official agreed and took the opportunity to make things difficult for the Sixth Miss.
The soldier who was driving the cart carrying the urgent documents saw an opportunity. He noticed that the Sixth Miss was sitting at the back of the cart, so he thought that if he caused a disturbance, she would fall off the cart.
Therefore, h...
Chapter 557: Handover
The group walked towards the prefectural government office. Since there were many exiled people from Linzhang Prefecture, the passersby didn't pay much attention to them.
Shu Yu and the others arrived at the government office and waited for almost half an hour before someone came out to verify their identities.
Shortly after, the leading official appro...
Chapter 556: Arriving in the Southwest
Aunt He, the birth mother of the Fifth Miss.
After the death of the Fifth Miss, Aunt He was devastated and lost her will to live. With the Old Madam no longer there to support her and the Second Master not liking her, she knew that she would have to endure laborious tasks in the Southwest. The future seemed bleak, with no hope in sight.
Chapter 555: Three More Lost from the Shu Family
Shu Yu's forehead twitched as she climbed onto the carriage with Zhao Xi? If Zhao Xi did that, he would be done for, and Meng Yunzheng would definitely beat him to death.
As they spoke, the two of them entered the post station together.
The Shu family had been traveling all day and were about to rest in their rooms when they ...
Chapter 554: The Speed of Changing Faces
After Shu Yu finished speaking, Zhao Xi arrived, acting all proud of himself.
Shu Yu introduced the official, saying, "This is Doctor Zhao, the one who saved me and brought me to this post station. He's a really good person."
Zhao Xi, the "good person," turned to the official and said, "I heard Miss Shu is being exiled to the southwe...
Chapter 553: Preparing to Rejoin the Exile Group
Zhao Xi arrived at the post station much later than the others. After waiting for a long time, he was lucky enough to encounter a caravan that brought him there.
Upon reaching the post station, he inquired about the condition of the leading official.
At that time, the leading official had just regained consciousness and had b...
Chapter 552: Zhao Xi Arrives
Shu Yu smiled and said, "We want to go to the town and see a doctor again. Although my husband helped me with the dislocation, he's not skilled in this area, so I feel more at ease getting checked in town."
The village head and his family thought about it and didn't stop them. After giving them directions, they saw them off from the village.
Men...
Chapter 551: Breaking Through the Window Paper
Meng Yunzheng insisted, "I will take responsibility."
Shu Yu understood. This person had finally found an excuse to bring up the word "responsibility," right?
Shu Yu wasn't really fourteen years old, and when it came to matters of the heart, she understood what needed to be understood.
Throughout this journey, Meng Yunzh...
