Chapter 633: Chapter 633 I Want to Apologize to You Chapter 633: Chapter 633 I Want to Apologize to You Madam Hou looked at Shu Yu with faintly complex eyes. Actually, when she found out yesterday that Mrs. Xue had been beaten with a sack, Shu Yu was the first person she suspected.
But then she thought it over and realized it was not right. When Shu Yu had struck members of the Shu family before, it was always openly in front of everyone. It was no secret that she had been mistreated by Mrs. Xue since she was young, and their enmity was as deep as the sea. Did she need to use a sack to beat her?
Moreover, Mrs. Xue had more enemies than just Shu Yu.
When she had been working in the wasteland, she had offended fellow prisoners on her work team. They resented her for being slow and unskilled, which dragged them down, and they had even cursed at each other a few times.
And just a couple of days ago, Mrs. Xue had bumped into a woman on the road, and they nearly came to blows.
Despite having been in Righteous Dao Village for only a short while, the number of people Mrs. Xue had offended was not small.
Furthermore, there were people from the Shu family. The likelihood of the Shu family having a hand in it was slim, but it wasn’t entirely out of the question, was it?
Now, seeing Shu Yu’s face full of surprise, Madam Hou was even more convinced that it was not her doing.
She cleared her throat and softly explained, “Last night, Mrs. Xue went out to gather firewood and was beaten with a sack. And on the way back, she fell when the Shu family was carrying her and broke her arm. Now, being sick herself, the Shu family placed her in the woodshed with Second Young Lady to live.”
During the day, Mrs. Xue had been asleep. After being beaten and going hungry, besides sleeping, she had nothing else to do. When she woke up later, she got up to go to the latrine and on her way back, when passing by Second Young Lady’s wooden bed, she saw her with eyes wide open and a particularly unsettling expression.
She called out twice, only then realizing that the person had stopped breathing.
Shu Yu, “…”
Huh??
Beaten with a sack? Arm broken?
Shu Yu could only feel at a loss for words, “Who would have such deep hatred for her, to beat her with a sack, last night…”
She stopped midway as if suddenly thinking of something, her eyes slightly narrowed, and her voice followed suit and abruptly ceased.
Madam Hou asked curiously, “What’s wrong?”
“Nothing.” Shu Yu snapped back to reality and took another look at Mrs. Xue in the woodshed.
Mrs. Xue, unable to work due to her injury, was obviously receiving the same treatment as Second Young Lady.
Not to mention living in the woodshed, she could only eat half a flatbread. But she had one advantage over Second Young Lady—her injuries, given time to heal, could still recover.
Just as she was thinking, she saw Mrs. Xue’s hateful gaze turn towards her, as if she wanted to devour her.
Shu Yu scoffed and turned to Madam Hou, saying, “Alright, I should be going back. You go ahead and have dinner.”
Actually, there was no need to eat. Madam Hou and Sixth Young Lady had just been to the Lu family and eaten two buns, which was enough. Even if it wasn’t, with someone dead in the house, it certainly affected one’s appetite, making it hard to eat.
After Shu Yu finished speaking, she turned around and left.
Sixth Young Lady hesitated for a moment and hurriedly said to Madam Hou, “I, I’ll go send her off.”
Madam Hou was startled and looked strangely at her daughter running out. What was the hurry to send her off?
Sixth Young Lady quickly caught up with Shu Yu and followed her out of the courtyard gate.
After walking forward a few steps, Shu Yu stopped, turned her head, and asked with confusion, “Do you have something you want to say to me?”
Sixth Young Lady swallowed hard and nodded slightly, “I want to apologize to you.”
“Apologize for what?”
