Shu Yu was speechless. Zhao Xi was finished. He would be beaten to death by Meng Yunzheng.
As they spoke, the two of them entered the relay station together.
The Shu family had just finished a day’s journey and was about to return to their rooms to rest when they heard the commotion and turned around.
When they saw Shu Yu, they widened their eyes in disbelief.
When the officials came to look for Shu Yu, they didn’t know. They only saw that he had received a letter from the courier station and left, thinking that something urgent had happened.
They didn’t expect that the officer would appear again with Shu Yu.
The faces of the Shu family members turned gloomy again. They did not expect that Shu Yu to be so lucky. She was dragged so far by the crazy mule carriage. Even the leader of the officers was injured, but she was still standing in front of them.
Seriously, she should die.
Shu Yu was also sizing up the Shu family. After not seeing them for more than ten days, she found that the Shu family looked even more haggard.
However…
The number of people didn’t seem right.
Before Shu Yu could take a closer look, Madam Hou and the Sixth Young Lady were already walking towards her.
The two of them were very happy to see that she was safe.
“Back then, when I saw that mule go crazy and run away, it made me sweat.
It’s good that you’re fine. Your hand…”
Shu Yu looked down and smiled. “I’m fine. It’s just dislocated. I’ve already seen a doctor. I’ll be fine with some rest.’
Madam Hou was also relieved and then returned to her room with Shu Yu.
They still had three people in a room. After all, Madam Hou had a name on Lord Qi’s side, and the official had also received Little Lord Qi’s silver notes. This small request could still be satisfied.
Shu Yu’s right hand was inconvenient, so Madam Hou went out to get her some water and helped her clean her face.
After packing up, Shu Yu asked, “l heard that you were injured too. Are you alright?”
“I’m fine. It’s just a scratch. I’ll be fine in a few days. It’s nothing serious.”
Shu Yu saw that they were in good spirits and did not ask further. What she cared about now was another matter.
“l saw that the Shu family seemed to be missing a few people just now?”
Madam Hows expression was serious as she nodded slightly and said, “These days, we lost three of them one after another.”
“Three?” Shu Yu was surprised.
Madam Hou nodded and said as she spread the blanket, “The closer we are to the southwest, the more we can’t adapt to the climate. The First Master’s mistress, Madam Jin, was forced to abort three months ago by the First Madam. It was not easy for her to recover, but she was sent to jail again. I originally thought that with her body, she would probably lose her life in prison. I didn’t expect her to be able to walk for such a long distance. The day after you were taken away by the mule carriage, she fell ill and died.”
Madam Jin was the one who exposed Shu Yu as the mistress of the Shu family in front of everyone when she was forced to sink into the pond.
This person was a ruthless character. She used to be the first Madam’s servant girl. When Shu Yu was young, she was bullied by her many times. She acted obediently in front of the first Madam and turned around to seduce the First Master.
After Lady Wang found out, she sent her away on account of their many years of friendship. Who knew that in less than a day, Uncle Shu would arrange a place for her to stay and treat her as a mistress?
She had been very quiet along the way, and it was rare that she did not cause any trouble.
She didn’t expect her to be gone just like that.
“What about the other two?” Shu Yu asked.
Madam Hou lowered her voice. “There is also Concubine He. You know that ever since Fifth Young Lady passed away, Concubine He was in bad spirit..”
