Shu Yu used to think so too. She wanted to get her mother’s approval and had always been very obedient, not crying, not throwing a tantrum, and being very careful. However, it was of no use. Mrs. Xue would only detest her more and more. She would either hit or scold her, and her verbal humiliation would be even more hurtful.
Now, everything could be explained.
Seeing that the Shu family had left, Shu Yu quietly swam to the shore and came out of the lotus pond.
Fortunately, the old lady didn’t want to make a big deal out of this and had already asked the servants to go back. They didn’t meet anyone on the way.
However, because of what she had said earlier, the lights in their courtyard had not been put out. Occasionally, there would be the sound of quarrels, and the sound of the old lady fainting could be vaguely heard.
Shu Yu smiled and felt her way back to her courtyard. She found clean clothes to change into and packed a few things that were not eye-catching. Then, she climbed out of the Shu family’s door with ease.
The sky was already starting to light up, and there were a few pedestrians on the road.
The city gates of Dongan Province would open in another 15 minutes, and Shu Yu planned to leave the city.
If the Shu family couldn’t find her body tonight, they would definitely send people to look for her secretly. However, the Shu family was too busy to take care of themselves now. The words she said last night were enough to cause chaos in the Shu family for a while.
Just as Shu Yu was about to set off, she saw a Daoist nun standing not far away.
The Daoist nun looked a little familiar. She seemed to be dressed in the Dongqing Temple outside the city. Just as Shu Yu was feeling strange, the Daoist nun had already come forward and handed her a box.
“Miss, the dean asked me to give this to you.”
A year ago, when Shu Yu followed the Shu family to Dongqing Temple to pray for blessings, she accidentally fell off the cliff and the soul in her body was replaced by her.
For this reason, she recuperated in Dongqing Temple for more than half a month before returning.
During her recovery, she got to know the master of Dongqing Temple. Shu Yu could tell that the dean was not an ordinary person. He was quite an expert, especially in fortune-telling. He was very accurate.
Shu Yu was quite interested. After learning from him for half a month, she had also secretly called him master a few times.
The Daoist nun nodded and said, “He has gone out to travel. Before he left, he told me to wait here. If I see you going out, I should give this box to you.”
Shu Yu felt strange. She opened the box. There was a letter inside, and, strangely, a household registration pass.
“How did her master know that I would need this?”
Shu Yu quickly opened the letter, and the words of the Dongqing Temple dean appeared on the paper.
“Yu, when you read this letter, I will have already left. Go and find your biological parents. If you don’t pay off some debts, it will be difficult for you to move a step. This is your parents’ address and name. Take care.”
Shu Yu’s pupils constricted. She only found out last night that she was not the daughter of the Shu family, but her master even knew who her biological parents were and where they lived.
“Could fortune-telling really be so accurate?”
Shu Yu felt that something was amiss. She kept the letter and asked the nun in front of her, “What else did the master say before he left? ”
“He said that if you have any questions, you can go to the address on the letter and you will know.” The little Daoist nun paused and suddenly raised her eyes to look at her. Her voice was much softer. “Master also said that the Shu family would know of your identity because she revealed it. Actually, I have been waiting for you here for two days.
Shu Yu was speechless.
She found it outrageous.
“Why can’t you tell me first instead of giving a message to the Shu family?”
Shu Yu’s face darkened. She closed the box with a thud, turned, and left.
