The first Madam was shocked. “What are you doing?”
Shu Yu pounced on her and pinched her. “What am I doing? I’m going to kill you. Aren’t you very powerful? Aren’t you the mistress of the Shu family? Didn’t you say to the public that you take good care of your daughter? Then why didn’t you show up when Mrs. Xue beat me up? Why did you help her punish me? You’re also an accomplice. No, you’re all the masterminds. I’ll kill you…”
The first Madam screamed, but she couldn’t break free. She was no match for Shu Yu, and soon she couldn’t breathe.
The officers came over to pull her back again. This time, the officers were also angry. This was repeated again and again. Was it not over yet?
The leader of the officers looked at Shu Yu and pulled her out alone. He said, “Behave yourself and walk this way.”
Shu Yu was still furious. Although she had separated herself from the Shu family, the effect was not great.
She seemed to have been provoked by Mrs. Xue and hated everyone in the Shu family. As long as there was a chance, she would take action.
If it was in the past, the officer would not care who it was and just beat them up.
However, Shu Yu still had over a hundred taels (monetary) of silver in the Dongan Province. For the sake of money, they had to endure it.
A few days ago, they had already sent someone back to dig taels (monetary) places. Last night, that person sent back the news and indeed dug out twenty taels of silver.
This time, the officer was even more unwilling to miss out on the remaining silver.
However, Shu Yu’s ruckus hadn’t stopped. When she arrived at the courier station at night, no one was willing to share a room with her.
What if she suddenly went crazy in the middle of the night and strangled them to death?
The officials were also worried. Although it was normal for prisoners to die on the way to exile, they were still worried. However, when they arrived at the place, they had to write the cause of death in the official documents they sent to the local government. If the cause of death was strangled to death by the same prisoner, and that prisoner had arrived safely at the place of exile, then their job would be over.
The Shu family was not willing to share a room with Shu Yu, so they might as well let them all squeeze together.
The Shu family would rather squeeze together. Shu Yu was too scary.
After settling down the Shu family, a few officers gathered together and said, “We can’t go on . Third Miss Shu has suffered a lot. She’ll bite whoever she catches. If we go to stop fights every day in the future, we’ll die of exhaustion.”
“Why don’t we play a little? If she’s afraid, she won’t dare to.”
“No, if we beat her up, she might hate us and not tell us where she buried the silver in the southwest. Wouldn’t we have taken care of her for nothing?”
As for the other officers, they didn’t take care of her for nothing. After all, she had also given them fifteen taels (monetary) of silver.
However, they did not want to lose the other one.
“Indeed, we can’t fight. Didn’t you hear what she said today? She was beaten up by the Shu family since she was young. If we hit her, what if it arouses even deeper hatred in her heart? Wouldn’t that cause a ruckus?”
A few of them sighed. Some suggested using force, while others suggested using reason to appease them. In any case, they all had their ideas. In the end, they were about to quarrel.
Halfway through the argument, the officers realized that the leader of the officers had not spoken.
The few of them looked at each other. After a while, someone asked, “Boss, what do you think?”
The leader wiped his face. “We can’t hit her, and we can’t let her be tied to the Shu family. Even if we walk alone behind her, it’s hard to guarantee that she won’t pounce on us. We have to split up our people to take care of her. It’s not worth it.”
