Chapter 495: Why Are You Looking Around Again?
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Originally, the Shu family had more than these few concubines. However, the other concubines who did not have children were all sold again.
The concubines who were exiled now had all given birth before.
This Madam Hou was the birth mother of the Second household’s Sixth Young Lady.
Shu Yu wasn’t familiar with Madam Hou, but she knew that when she was taken in by Second Master Shu, she also relied on those seductive methods to achieve her goal. Because of her good looks, she was quite doted on by Second Master.
Now, she used the same method to seduce the officials, wanting to live a better life and eat a little more. It did not seem surprising.
The two people in the corner quickly hugged each other. When Shu Yu wanted to look again, a hand reached out from behind and accurately covered her eyes. He whispered, “Why are you looking around again?”
If it wasn’t for the familiar smell of ink coming from behind her, Shu Yu would have attacked.
And…
“What do you mean again?”
Meng Yunzheng pulled her back quietly. After confirming that those two people would not hear the voice, he said in a low voice, “Have you forgotten what happened to Zhang Shu last time? You were also hiding under the window and watching with great interest.”
Pfft, when did she become excited? He covered her eyes when she didn’t see anything, alright?
Meng Yunzheng chased her away. “Go back to your room and rest. Aren’t you tired?”
It would have been better if he hadn’t said it. Once he said it, Shu Yu yawned very appropriately.
She was sleepy, probably because she had eaten and drunk her fill.
Shu Yu stopped watching the show. She waved at Meng Yunzheng and quietly returned to her room.
The girls of the Shu family were already in a deep sleep. Shu Yu climbed onto the bed and closed her eyes to sleep.
Early the next morning, an official knocked on the door. “Get up, get up. Don’t sleep anymore. It’s time to set off.”
Shu Yu was more alert. She opened her eyes as soon as she heard the knock on the door. On the other hand, the other members of the Shu family got up one by one with sleepy eyes. They were so tired that their bodies were sore.
The officer outside the door was impatient and barged in after knocking twice.
Fortunately, Shu Yu got up quickly and was already standing by the bedside, ready to go out at any time.
When the others saw the whip in the officer’s hand, they were so frightened that they quivered. They suddenly woke up and quickly got off the bed.
The officer was satisfied. “Stop dawdling. Let’s go.”
Although the Shu family members were still feeling uncomfortable, they did not dare to delay and came out one after another.
Although it was already autumn and they would still be woken up by the cold at night, the weather was still very hot during the day.
Shu Yu wiped her sweat and walked much slower.
If she was like this, the others were even more so. Moreover, their legs were sore after walking for a whole day yesterday. Their speed was like a turtle crawling.
As a result, there was naturally less time to rest at noon.
Shu Yu’s food was still the same as yesterday. The Shu family did not even have the strength to glare at her now. They were only thinking in their hearts, when would her five taels (monetary) of silver be used up?
Shu Yu finished the slightly sweet steamed bun in her hand and looked up at the others. Not long after, her gaze fell on Madam Hou.
Madam Hou sat with her daughter, the Sixth Young Lady, and the two of them spoke in low voices.
Shu Yu had sharp eyes and saw Madam Hou taking advantage of the time when everyone was tired and resting to stuff a white steamed bun into the Sixth Young Lady’s hands.
Seeing this, Shu Yu silently retracted her gaze. That should be the steamed bun she got last night.
Madam Hou blocked the Sixth Young Lady’s figure and told her to quickly eat the steamed bun.
